perstition that led me to do it, partly
my affection for the boy, and both
these influences were modified by my
feeling that no harm could come Of my
promise and that there was something
adventurous and exciting in this af-
fair-so1nething that I would like to
follow through to the end.
That afternoon Jim Bum came to
me and told a rambling story Of sue
cess in various ventures. He seemed
to be lying, but he had the advantage
Of demeanor always so nervous and
restless that the signs Of prevarication
could not appear upon him as upon
an ordinary man.
I heard his story quietly, and when
at the end Of it he produced the money
with which to redeem his stock l made
no comment. 1t would have been bet

In spite Of this rerifcation Of DON
AIDS prediction did not believe that
the danger was serious. However, I
began an investigation Immediately,

to other holders of the branch stock.
I discovered that my cousin had left
Colorado Springs for parts unknown
and that earnest inquiry was being
made for him, doubtless in the inter
ests of my enemies.

that Kelvin was heavily interested IN
the trust which was endeayorlng to
gain control Of my factory; that he
had secured options on the entire
Eackett interest; that he had privately
bought out some of my cid frienCs
right here in this little town Of Tun-
bridge and had gained paramount IN
fuence over others so that they would
certainly vote against lie at the meet
ing. The power Of the money when
he commanded seemed to surround me
upon all sides, and, though my position
was so strong that I had great conf
dence OF victory, still perceived that
I might say in the words CT g ral;!-
words, by the way, which had contain

man of my years and long cherished
habits of thought, was the very cs-
sence Of my existence. That the busi-
ness which l had worked to build up
should be swampcd and lost in some
vast aggregation Of capital without

too heavy q blow for ne to bear with

The blue Of the sapphire is seldom
pure or spread over the whole SUD-
stance OF the stGne. Sometimes 1t IS
mixed with black. which gives it an
inky appearance: sometimes with red,
which, although ilnperccptible by day
light, yet by artificial light gives 1t an
amethystine appearance. Two sap

of the same hue often differ extremely
in color at night. If the stone be held

was backed up in this measure by the

western Republicans, who, with the
Democrats, presented united front
against the Republican leaders and the
Republicans of the eastern States, who
have no interest in irrigation.

gresham Newlands' home in Wash

maps and surveys to use in demon
strating the great Importance of irri-
eating the western half of the United
States. He has spent days and nights

Importance of the work of bringing
water to the arid lands of the United
States, and that he has succeeded in
interesting others in the affairs of the
inter-mountain region and the Pacific
coast is no small tribute to his per-
severance.
1t would be good thing for Califor-
MIA if we had few representatives and
senators of the Newlands type. Though
rich man, his sympathies are all with

for the public good, and he has only
valued personal political advancement

Alfalfa should be cut when not more
than one-tenth of the plants have come
in bloom. Cut at this early stage, the
Weld of hay for the season will be
much greater than if the alfalfa is cut
near maturity, and every pound of
hay secured will be worth more for
feed.
At the Kansas experiment station a
strip through a field of alfalfa was cut
when one-tenth was in bloom, another
strip was cut after full bloom had past.
The strip cut early was nearly ready to
cut the second time when that cut after
full bloom was being harvested the
first time. The strip cut early grew
vigorously through the season and
made three cuttings and good after
math. The strip cut after full bloom
gave a low yield the first cutting and
did not grow sufficiently to yield a
good second cutting. Early cuttings
Seem to invigorate the plant.
The late cutting of the first crop
seems to injure the plant more than at
any other time, and we have found it
profitable to cut alfalfa the first time
as soon as one-tenth was in bloom,
even though the weather was bad and
we knew that the crop would spoil in
curing. The increased yield from sue
ceeding cuttings over that cut late
much more than makes up for the loss
of the first crop.
Successful clover growers, the first
time they try alfalfa, often ruin the
stand so that it has to be plowed up by
waiting to cut until it reaches the
stage at which clover is usually cut.
