pisKING ALFALFA.
Thickens the Stand, Kills weeds-Ia
Like Cultivation To- Corn.

Thtcken the Stand, Kills weede-.Ia
Like Cultivation to Corn.
Our first experience in disking alfalfa
was in 1898. A field had been seeded
to alfalfa in the dry year of 1894 and
Q poor stand secured. In 1897 this al
falfa was heavily pastured by hogs.
The hogs were taken off early in the
fall, and a heavy growth Of crab grass
came up. The crab grass was so thick
and the stand of alfalfa so thin that
1t was not worth Keeping & -"
Late in March, 1898. this field was
narrowed withta disk harrow, the disks
sharp and set at as great an angle as
possible. 1t was Immediately cross
disked with the disks set the same
way. The ground was thoroughly pull.
verified and the alfalfa apparently de.
stroyed. It soon started, branched, out
thickly, and we made three good cut
tings from that field that summer.
In 1900 we went a step further in
disking alfalfa. The season was very
dry at Manhattan. Two fields of alfal-
ia two years old We're disked.
One field was disked March %, the
first cutting for hay made May 81,
disked June 6, the second cutting for
hay made June rs, disked June 81. the
third cutting of alfalfa made Aug. ID,
and the alfalfa disked for the fourth
time Aug. 20. The last cutting Of al.
falfa was made Sept. 13. This shows
four diskings and four cuttings Of al.
falfa on upland in a dry year.
Another field of alfalfa was disked
and cross disked March q. The first
cutting of alfalfa was made on June
4 and the second disking June 6,
Through July and the early part OF
August the alfalfa was cut from day
to day and fed green to dairy cows tc
help out dried up pastures. Aug. &c
the field was disked, and Oct. 3 the
last cutting of alfalfa was made.
The alfalfa in both fields made fine
late fall growth and went into the win.
ter in good condition.
The stand Of alfalfa on both fields
disked in 1900 was good. A harrow
with sharp 16 inch disks was used
the disks being set at a slight angle
just sufficient to turn the soil over
and the harrow was weighted to make
the disks split the alfalfa crowns to 9
depth of two, inches. The disking spill
the alfalfa roots, and this made then
throw out many new shoots. The
dlsking made an earth mulch over the
field and prevented the evaporation Of
water, so rapid ia a dry time from al
alfalfa field just after being cut. The
disks were set so that they barely
turned the soil over, and, running at {
depth Of two inches, they turned the
roots of the crab grass and weeds uI
to the u which killed them. These
disked fields were clean and free from
crab grass in the fall. -
We have not disked alfalfa O. veal
old. From these experiments we fee
safe In recommending disking all al
falfa of two years or more standing
Make the first disking early in til,
spring and then, disk Immediately al
we did in the experiments made ii
1900. II the stand is poor and tn,
growth of crab grass thick, set thu
disks to cut deeply. Disking is of al
much value to alfalfa as cultivation Ii
to corn.-H. M: Cottrell, Kansas Tx

Fished For Its Dinner.


Looking over my neighbours fence
one day." says a lover of animals II
was surprised to see on his doorstep
these queer companions: a beautiful
white sea gull and my neighbor's pet
cat sitting quietly together.
becoming interested, l jumped the
fence and asked Jones about his feath-
cred pet. He told me that some boys
had shot the gull a few days before
and broken it's wing, and as they. were
passing his house he noticed the poor,
suffering thing anu bought it. He ban
daged the broken wing, and the gull,
seeming to understand his kind inten-
lions, became quite tame and nestled
its pretty head against his hand.
"Jones entertained me by showing
how the gull usually took his meals
Bringing a plate of oysters and a fork,
he called 'Goosey, goosey, goosey! and
the bird came running to him: Then
he held out an oyster on the fork and
the gull seized it quickly with it's vel.
low bill and ate it as demurely as it
oysters had been served to it in this
way all Of it's days.
"The oldest thing occurred one day
when my neighbor gave the gull some
small pieces of meat for dinner. He
placed the meat on the ground nea,
the gull, but the gull, espying a pan OF
water near by, took the meat piece By
piece and, walking over, dropped il
into the water. Then, true to its ma
ture, it began fishing Tor its dinner

The y%ourtenay Gazette-republican

The Courtenay Gazette-republican
organ of n of the strongest repub-
lican districts in Stutsman county
says: "The turning down of Tommy
Poole for the position of deputy bank
examiner comes as a surprise to many,
as it was generally conceded that Tom
was to have a job. He is one of the
best and most effective workers in the
republican party in North Dakota and
his turning down at this time will
not o u aim by any means. He will
still be found working for the party,
and in all probability will be heard
from a little later on-in the repub-
1ican ranks in stutsman county.

The bed Of the baby Eskimo is not al

times Of famine now and then when
the condition of the ice makes hunting

Cases Of Queer Revenge.

OV~S~ ~ V~~S~ ~m~s -
In England, where men have more
time for everything, including revenge,
some queer methods of playing even
have come into the courts.
Albert Bewdley Of Leeds had a dog
that howled at night. A naturalist next
door did not like it, but had no legal
recourse.
One day ants of the minute red vari-
ETY. began to overrun Bewdley's house.
Nothing that could be done headed
them off. They grew worse and worse.
He had made up his mind to break his
lease and move when n night he
heard a noise in his dining ROOM. Slip
ping down, he found the naturalist
emptying a bag Of ants on the floor.
In court the naturalist paid damages,
but he did it smilingly.
Rowley, the late English violinist,
was hard to beat on his perseverance
against one who had incurred his i'll
will. - IT,
Rowley had a quarrel with a horse
dealer named Brant. 1t was a trivial
matter. but Rewley took the next house
to Brant, set up a piano, bought a cor,
net and proceeded to make insomnia
for Brant. i. y
After one or two assault cases In
court Brant moved. Rowley bought
out the next door neighbor and follow.

Hay Crops Irrigated Early-Cultivat-
. ed Ones Not TIL june. !
With annual crops planted in the
spring in Wyoming the first irriga-
ton occurs from one to two months
after sowing the seed. Winter grain
planted In the fall receives no water
by irrigation till late the next spring,
when enough is applied in one or two
small irrigations to mature the crop.
Hay crops may be irrigated as early
as April or May; but, as a rule, irriga-
ton of cultivated crops does not be-
gin till June or in some cases till as
late as July. The last irrigation usual
ly occurs about q month before the
time of harvest. Water stimulates
growth, and 1T Is found necessary to
stop irrigating sufficiently early to al,
low the plants to properly mature be-
fore the time Of frost.
Grains are usually irrigated the last
time when beginning to head out. This
leaves sufficient moisture in the soil
to insure plump grain and gives ample
time for it to reach maturity.
"ueiS iuSLS pLefd1A Ill lue gram IL
has been found that keeping the soil
wet after the plants reach full growth
Il. e., after they are headed out-stim-
ulates the. development of such fungous
diseases, but where water is kept away
after the time Of heading little diff
fculty has been, experienced from
rusts.
1t appears that more water is sup
piled at the first irrigation than in later
applications. This is probably due to
the fact that the land is more porous,
as it is nearer the time when it was
plowed, and also that the soil has be-
come more effectually dried out than
it is after once becoming compacted
and thoroughly soaked at the time Of
the first irrigation.

New Depot.


The people of Mineral Point eN-
pect as soon as trains run regu-
larly over the new short line from
GAINESVILLE to Chicago the present eN-
celleut train service will be greatly
improved, As the distance To Chicago
will be shortened the evening train
will probably arrive much earlier.
OF these improvements The Democrat
will take note and publish them as
widely as possible. The st, Paul road
is Mineral Point road, and upon the
freight and passenger services which
it render depends largely the pros
perity of the community. The town Is
growing and prospertng, aud fine new
buildings are being erected, While
these conditions are pleasing, our Citi-
2eus are unanimous in the opinion
that it is high time that this station
had new and modern depot building.
The present building was erected in
1857, and of course is not convenient
ly arranged for the railway traffic of
today. Believing that the managers
of the c. NJ. X St. Paul railway desire
to meet the needs of their lines and of
the communities through which they
run, we are confident that If the mat
ter should be fairly considered Min
eral Point would soon have q new de-
pot building. 1t would increase the
company's popularity with the people
of Mineral Point Concerted action
should be taken In this matter, and
the wishes of the community definitely
expressed to the proper parties, Pri-
vate complaints are oftey unfair to
the company and rarely lead to good
results. A united movement should
be made and a new depot secured.
