The branches are then cut of, and
after removing as much of the wax as

Many Merits Claimed For It-Easy to
Grow and ReIished by stock.
The merits Of beardless barley and
the advantages of Its cultivation In
comparison with other better known
crops are being much urged in various
quarters lately. An Ohio Farmer corre-
spondent says of 1t: 1t is a spring va
riety and should be sown as early as
the ground can be prepared. Sow about
two bushels to the acre, preferably
with the drill On good soil and sown
early, II is a more certain crop than
either oats or wheat
1t has not the parasitic enemies Of
wheat and does not lodge or damage
in rainstorms as badly as oats. 1t is
not adapted to thin clay land, but on
strong corn land 1t will yield more
pounds per acre than oats and is worth
more per pound to feed alone than oats,
but Is not so rich in protein. The straw
is relished far more by stock than
either wheat or oats.

ley, not shading the ground so much as
oats and coming off a month earlier,

for cows or hogs. 1t will pay for extra
labor in the preparation of the seed bed
and for the use Of fertilizer.

SEED CORN.

Look Out Far Mold Next the Cob
This Seaxon-Concerning Varieties.
There is a widespread fear all over the
corn belt that much of the corn which
has been cribbed during the season and
from which the supply of seed corn
Is expected to be taken is of very poor
quality and is moldy next to the cob.
1t is q pretty difficult matter to detect
these moldy ears, as the outside of the
kernel looks bright enough. but upon
picking up an ear and shelling 1t the
trouble is at once discovered.
Corn growers cannot use too much
pains In getting their seed corn ready
and In shape for their seasons crop.
1t will hardly do TO depend upon corn
that has stood In a crib during the
entire season for your seasons supply,
for the freezing and thawing of the
past two months have probably done
more to injure the germs of the corn
than anything else, and we believe that
at the price at which good, tested seed
corn is offered by reliable seed corn
sellers and growers no corn grower
would be warranted in taking any
chances with INFESTED seed this year.
We would suggest that this matter be
looked into at once.
Lands of different texture grow one
variety better than another, and 1t is
to the interest of corn growers to as
certain as nearly as possible whether a
white variety or. a yellow variety Is
best adapted to their particular fields.
AS q rule, we believe white varieties
will yield little larger crop of corn
In the ear than the yellow sorts, but
when 1t comes to shelling 1t is those
yellow varieties that have been bred
up that probably turn the balance In
the other direction.-Prairie Farmer.

Eoru.tton of Dew.

Ground little below the surface Is
always warmer than the air above 1t.
So long as the surface of the ground Is
above the dew point vapor must rise
and pass from the earth into the air.
The moist air so formed will mingle
with the air above 1t, and Its moisture
will be condensed, forming dew wher-
ever it comes In contact with surface
cooled below the dew point. In fact,
dew rises from the ground.
But how is the dew formed on bodies
high up In the air?
Dew does not rise In particles, as 1t
was once considered to fall in particles
like fine rain. 1t rises in vapor. Some
Is caught by what is on the surface OF
the earth, but the rest ascends in vapor
form until 1t comes In contact with q
much colder surface to condense 1t into
moisture.
The vapor does now flow upward In
q uniform stream, but Is mixed In the
air by eddies and wind currents and
carried to bodies far from where 1t
rose. In fact, dew may be deposited,
even though the country for many
miles all around be dry and incapable
of yielding any vapor. In such cases
the supply of vapor to form that dew
would depend on the evaporation of
the dew and on what was waited over
by the winds.

least one year before seeding.
Pure seed is essential. Only that
which is bright. plump and clean
should be used. The seed resembles
that OF red clover, but is larger and
when fresh has a greenish yellow color.
Experience has demonstrated that In
Srder to secure a good stand II Is best
to sow 80 to 80 pounds OF seed per acre
The seed should be sown broadcast,
preferably the last OF April or the first
OF May, without any protective crop,
though fall seeding has sometimes
proved successful on weedy or light
dry land 1t should be covered with a
very light harrow or weeder and
lightly rolled.
Care should be taken that the seed Is
not put In too deep. This is very Inn
portant and is often the cause of fall
ure. The depth will vary somewhat
with the kind of soil, but In general IL
planted more than three inches deep
there Is danger that the terminating
plant will not be able to reach the sur
face. One-half TO two inches are about
the extremes.
Another point of Importance Is that
the soil should be packed around the
seed. Many failures to secure q stand
of alfalfa are traceable to sowing the
seed broadcast on newly plowed
ground, and narrowing to mix the seed
loosely with the surface soil. 1t is safer
to compact the soil and then go over 1t
with light harrow or weeder, loosen
ing the immediate surface soil.-E. b.

When n Fourth avenue car bound
down town approached Eighteenth
street the other morning a determined
looking woman asked the conductor to
stop the car at the corner. He nodded
and evidently forgot all about it. The
car rolled past Eighteenth street with
out stopping. The woman arose and
with an angry glance at the conductor
began ringing up fares. She evidently
had tried that method Of stopping a
car before, for when the conductor
gave the motorman a sharp signal to
stop and the car did stop abruptly she
said triumphantly:
81 thought that would remind you."
But you have rung up five fares"
said the conductor
''Then why didn't you stop at Eight
eenth street?' asked the woman. ''It
serves you just right" and off she
flounced. The other passengers smiled
nppreciatively, and the conductor made
careful count of the money in his
pockets.-New York Sun.

ON the Government.

They were two big, burly Indians.
The long eagle feather in the hat OF
one who is known as "chief'' and the
bright red ostrich tip in the sombrero
of the other would have told that IL the
unmistakable features had not evil
denced it. A government employee, 1t
matters not who, but one who may pos
sibly In certain events happening make
q ''stake" out of the tribe to which
these Indians belong, was doing the
honors of the capitol and showing the
braves about the corridors. They left
the Indian committee room and came
to the door of the house restaurant.
"Let's have bite to eat" suggested
the man with the graft.
"All right" was the quick reply or
the aborigines.
At the luncheon counter the one who
could master the most English asked,
"Guv'munt payT
"Oh, yes," responded the host, think
ing that the quickest way to inform
them that they would not havezto stand
good for the bill.
'Ughw grunted the brave, I'VE eat

four cups of coffee each, half a dozen
hard boiled eggs, three ham sand
wiches, one dozen doughnuts, whole
baked chicken, ice cream, a whole pie
each and besides that a thirst for fire
water that was absolutely appalling.
The luncheon counter looked as though
a cyclone might have paid 1t visit by
the time the Indians got through, and
the bill that the "guv'munt" clerk had
to foot made his weeks salary look
like cents.
"Guv'munt heap good" grunted the
brave as he picked his teeth In true
"white brother" fashion In the corridor.
"We eat here again." But 1t VIII not

Alfalfa grows well OH varying kinds
of soil provided the subsoil is open and
porous. The most favorable is rich,
somewhat sandy loan, warm and fria-
BILE, with a deep and loose or gravelly
subsoil well supplied with lime. a
dense clay or hardpan subsoil is most
unfavorable. Alfalfa also sometimes
does well on poor, well drained, gravel

1t is especially desirable that the soil
be supplied with an abundance of lime.
The plant is heavy feeder and will
not thrive on soil deficient in plant
food. Fertilizers should contain main
ly potash and phosphoric acid, and
while alfalfa is leguminous plant, Gu
pable of obtaining atmospheric nitro

HARVESTING WITH CATTLE.

Grazing Steers on Corn and Cowpeas.
4 Profitable Plan.
1t Is evident that allowing cattle to
gather a crop instead of harvesting and
feeding Ii must be saving of expense.
II at the same time the gains made are
satisfactory, this method of feeding
should commend itself.
The Arkansas station recently tested
the desirability of grazing steers on
field of corn and cowpeas, supplement-
Ing this food with as much cotton seed
as the animals required. The five steers
used in the test were turned on a five
acre field after the corn had been pull
ed. The yield OF corn was % bushels
to the acre, which is regarded as hardly
nm average crop. The cowpeas gave
more than an average growth OF vines.
but less than an average crop of peas.
None o. these had been picked.
The steers required Go days to con-
sumo all the food on the five acres
They were allowed access TO only one
third OF the field at time. The cotton
seed was always accessible and was
consumed at will. During the first 80
days OF the test. while the pea vines
were yet green and peas were accessi-
hic the steers ate very little seed.
At the beginning OF the test the five
steers weighed 3SJS pounds. The daily
average gain was pounds per steer.
The average amount OF cotton seed con-
sumed per steer during the whole test
was $50 pounds.
Ratlng cotton seed at So per ton and
making suitable allowance for the cow
peas planted. the cultivation Of the
crop aud the labor OF feeding the steers.
the cost OF a pound of gain was calcu-
lated 10 be 1.6 cents. 1t appears that
the coIn should be gathered and the
animals turned to grazing az early as
possible before frost.
Judging by results obtained at the
Arkansas station, this method OF feed
ing is prof titable and worthy OF trial.

Fattenins Young Birds.

Should the farmer desire to specially
fatten his chickens before sale or ship
ment his simplest and speediest plan Is
to put his birds, at 31R, A or AZ months
of age, In Slated coops or crates, di-
vided into compartments to hold one
or a number of birds up to four. These
coops should have V shaped feeding
troughs in front. The following fat
tening ration has been effectively used
on one farm:
Two parts finely ground oats.
One part finely ground barley.
One part ordinarily ground corn
meal.
After the fifteenth day add beef suet
in proportion of one ounce to every
four birds. Mix with skimmilk. II
the milk is made near the boiling point,
the tallow, which should be chopped
fine, will be melted by it when poured
on the ground grains; or the tallow
may be melted in the hot milk. The
birds should be fed all they will eat
twice n day. Carefully collect all un-
eaten food. Leave none to turn sour,
and feed none In that condition.
Care should be taken to free the
birds from vermin before cooping. This
may be done by rubbing sulphur well
into the feathers or by one Of the lice
exterminating powders.
Pens and premises should be kept
scrupulously clean.
Grit and water should be supplied
regularly. Three weeks should be suf-
ficient to fatten the birds satisfac-
torily.

One curious incident In the siege OF

after the assault two Spanish ladies,
the younger beautiful girl Of IA, ap-

of the streets Of the town. Their dresses
were torn, their ears, from which rings
had been roughly snatched. were bleed

they cast themselves on the protection
of the first British officers they met.
One Of the officers was Captain Harry
Smith of the rifles. Two years later
he married the girl he had saved In

In after years served at the Cape as
