the seed was sown too early aug. II.
The second year, 1899, the seeding took
place Aug. p, and an excellent yield
was secured the following spring. one
and onc-half bushels of wheat and one
buShel of yctch We're sown to the acre
at one sowing and covered with a
wheel harrow. Cutting was begun
May 81, Just before the wheat began to
head. The vetch began to blossom
June ;.
The yield was at the rate of ten tons
OF green fodder to the acre. and cutting
was continued for l. days. The spring
of 1900 was fully ten days backward
ana the rainfall quite deficient. Had
the weather been as warm as usual and
the precipitation normal cutting would
have begun earlier. If more of the
fodder mixture has been produced than
can be fed green, the balance may be
made into hay.
The vetch develops an abundance of
root nodules and must fix large quaint.

STRAWBERRY PLANTING.
The Way the Big Growers Do It-Uu
to Date Method For Fine Fruit.

AS TO methods of planting strawbcr-
rics, it may be said that the old meth
cd has been Misunderstanding in
rows 3 to 3's feet apart. with the
plants from l. to IL inches apart in
the rows, keeping off the runners I'M
til late in July and then allowing the
runners TO grow and root at will, max
ing matted row. In this old system
many plants are almost on top of 9th
ers, the roots barely in the ground. and
they suffer in Il season of drought.
The rows are 50 wide that to pick fruit
i'll the center it is almost necessary tC
crush fruits on the outside of the row.
Professor l.. II. Bailey says that this
system gives few large first class
fruits, and he points out the improved
way as follows:
The up to date grower starts with the
assumption that the largest and high
est colorcd fruits are found on plant
along the outside of the roWs. an.
therefore he plans to have rs many
outside rows as possible This he az.
composites by having his rows closer
together and much narrower.
The rows are made from 80 to sc
inches apart and the plants from Is to
n or even 80 inches apart in the rows.
much depending on the capablity OF
the variety as a plantmaker If the
plants used for new bed are strong
and start into growth vigorously. the
first runners are used, as it has been
found that under most conditions the
plants about u months old yield the
greatest number of fine fruits.
These first runners are usually bed
ded in. e.. planted by hand, train
ing them along the wide way of the
rows, using from four to eight of the
first runners and cutting off those
growing later. This method of plant
Ing allows cultivation both ways until
the runners start, retaining moisture

Glover or swale grass makes the best
winter mulch. The rows are covered
two to four inches deep. This winter
mulch should be raked from the plants
and left between the rows as a protec

IN THE ALFALFA FIELDS
Fine Points of Making Hay-Do IT
While the sun Shines.


In harvesting NOW down as much of
the crop at once as can be handled in
one day. Let it wilt in the swaths
md then rake it into windrows to cura
If the weather is fine, it can be stacked
direct from the windrow by using q
sweep rake and stacker. If the weath-
or is threatening, bunch the windows
and cock the punches to allow if to
finish curing. The hay should be mt
into the stack with as little handling
as possible. To avoid molding we have
often advised farmers to stack alter
nate layers of dry straw and fresh al
falfa hay together.
The straw need not form more than
about one-fourth of the total weight
We think this method especially an
plicable to the first crop in localities
where old straw stacks can be easily
acquired. When possible, alfalfa should
be stored under roof as it does not
turn rain we'll y cheap hay shed can
be built by setting telegraph poles in
the ground, braced by two by SKIES
and putting good shingle roof on tho
structure. The sides should be left
open and the hay stacked under the

A stacker of some sort or other
should lie used as it does not nav to

cannot be had the hay should he stack

with long slough grass Alfalfa should
be cured and stacked if possible with
out allowing rain to fall upon it. No
other crop is so easily injured by show
crs. Alfalfa hay rained upon is worth
about half what it would be were it not
exposed.
Harvesting alfalfa at the right time
and in the right manner very largely
determines its feeding value. The ma
jority of farmers wait too long before
starting the moving machines.
Alfalfa should be cut for hay when
one-fourth to one-half of the blossoms
have opened. When it is left standing

SheIIed Corn Versus Corn Chop For
CnlyPS.

In a test of shelled corn compared
with corn chop for young calves it was
found at the Kansas station that calves
on shelled corn made the best gains
and at Il cost of 20 cents less per 100
pounds of grain. Since calves relish
shelled corn and will begin eating it
when 3 or 4 weeks old and make better
and cheaper gains on it and are less
subject to scours than on corn crop.
there is certainly no object in going to
the expense of grinding the corn. This
experiment shows that it is possible to
raise good. thrifty calves that will gain
1.75 pounds daily per head on feeds
produced entirely from the farm and in
a form that requires no preparation of
the feed outside of harvesting except
the Smelling of the corn.

The chief objection to the growing OF

becomes necessary to prepare numer-
ors small pieces of land at frequent IN

quantities of fodder to the barn every
two or three days. Work of this char-

DIG OUT THE BORERS.

Protecting Peach Trees.
The digging out method is the
only thoroughly successful and safe
way of killing the peach tree borer
This method is expensive in time and
labor, but our experience leads us to

1ul method will cost just as much. To
make it a success the digging out

The Case of Jasper Apple.

Yesterdays dispatches briefly noted
that Governor Stanley hadl declined
to pardon Jasper Apple out of the
penitentiary. He was sent up from
Allen county in 1896, and it is surpris-
ing how long ago that was. A report
er interviewed Chris Ritter about the
case. he having defended Apple, and
learned the following:
When Ritter was teaching school
down at Rocklow, Apple was his
brightest pupil, being an expert pen
man. About 1885 Apple got hold of
some express money order blanks and
the agents stamp at theQuenemo office
and began circulating forged orders.
He was arrested in Chanute and sent
to the pen for a year, but was let out
because he was but boy and because
of good behavior. He resumed his
forging and in 1896 passed several or
ders ut Humboldt one of Charlie
Groth. He was arrested by Sheriff
Ausherman, prosecuted by II. II. Ben
nett and defended by Ritter. BY con-
sent he pleaded guilty and was sent
up for ten years,
Recently his mother came here from
Usage City and started an agitation
for his pardon, which Mr.. Ritter pros
ecuted although he assured her it was
useless. And so the governor declined
the pardon and Apple must stay until
1906, unless pardoned later.
