Alfalfa on Sandy Soil.

The claim that alfalfa will not thrive
on sandy soil is not borne out by ex-
pertinent. Col B. w. Richards, secre-
tary of the Laurel Hill Cemetery Com
pany, who has farm at Hammonton,
n. j., has grown alfalfa for several
years, and on a plot consisting Of white
sand. The plot was seeded in August,
1898, and another later. AS many as
four or five cuttings are secured every
season, and from two to three tons Of
hay per acre are cured. Manure Is
spread over the land every fall and
lime (mostly from burnt oyster shells)
is broadcasted The land has become
very productive, and more animals
were necessary in order to consume the
hay produced. The experiment $ a
valuable one, as it demonstrates what
can be done with alfalfa on the lightest
kind of sand,-Philadelphia Record.

mind" He saved for the wear of work
what others throw away ON the tear
of worry.
Here is a sample of the other ex-
IRENE. Said a Minneapolis lawyer
to me to-day: "When began the prao-
tice Of law I always lost two nights
before 1 had a case in court, tossing
about and combating every thinkable
standpoint Of my opponent. And l lost
as much sleep afterWard upbraiding
myself for not having thought of GER
tain points at certain pat occasions
in the progress of the case" Of what
value were these night thoughts to this
young attorney? About as much value
as night sweats to a consumptiye!
venture to say that all the business
planning a man does in life while ly-
ing on his back at night isn't worth
an hours good thinking on his feet on
one June morning. AS compared with
the sleep it displaces, such night think"
ing isn't worth forty winks after din
ner. Burning the candle at both ends
sometimes makes a fine bonfire. But
it always makes a bad grease spot of
a good candle.-Commercial West.

The Strawberry Pests.

The most objection to continuing to
keep the strawberry bed in one place
for several years is not the exhaustion
Of the soil, because the fertility can be
applied. It is not the mating of the
row, because after runners have nut
out into the paths between them, 4
they are worked mellow and enriched,
the old row Of plants can be cut out,
leaving the path there, and the new
plants can be thinned, If too abundant,
and the weeds can be taken out, but
insect pests are so numerous now that
it may be easier to set a new bed than
to try to kill them. There are more
than dozen that are we'll known, and
the root borer, crown borer, stalk borer,
leaf rollers, cutworms and grubs are
probably those which do the most dam
age Nearly every one Of these can be
found in the soil as eggs, larvae or pupa
soon after the fruit is picked, and
when any Of them have been especially
troublesome, we would advise the set
ting a new bed at some distance from
the old one, and blowing up the old
bed in August, which will destroy most
OF them. II any plants are taken from

VALUE OF SLEEP.

Ability to Rest One of Napo1eon's
Sources of Power.
One great secret of Napoleon's pow
er was his ability to sleep. If he had
but an hour for sleep he slept an hour,
even though the fate of an army or
of an empire hung in the balance While
he slept. Gen. Grant was another
great example of this ability to lay
aside work at quitting time. Even III
the Wilderness campaign, when the re
sponsibility of the movements OF the
nations armies, stretched out in bat
rio line a thousand miles long, lay on
his shoulders; when his goodnight
commands involved au-night marching
and fighting of his army OF the Pote-
mac. and his waking orders might
mean victory or defeat, the killing or
the saving of thousand men-under
if all he lay down and dropped to
sound sleep as, quickly as you or |
when we read ourselves sleepy over an
old story book Grant had what a
great writer has called 'frictloniess

A Palatial Log Cabin.

On Warren's island off the coast of
Maine, is being erected what is prop
erly described as "a palatial log cab
in" 1t is composed of spruce logs, and
cost the tidy little sum of $4,000 The
entire island on which this summer
palace is erected was purchased by the
late William II. Folwell, of Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Folwell died before the COM
pletion of the house. The work is
now superintendent by his son, Will
liam H Folwell, Jr. Some idea of the
size of the cabin may be gained
from consideration of the fact that
there are twenty-five sleeping rooms
on the second floor.

Our Farmer Aristocrats.

Tales of sudden wealth are quite COM
mon in the famous Kansas and Okla
homa wheat belt; fine houses, modern
in every appointment, are the rule;
rubber-tired buggies and automobiles
are nothing to attract attention. In GER
tain communities even the farmer has
grown metropolitan to the extent Of
building an opera house on a school lot
and securing some Of the best attrac-
lions in the theatrical line. 1t was not
until the present winter that Wichita
could afford a guarantee for certain
notable singers. Among those occupy
ing front seats were well-known wheat
growers. Farmers daughters and
farmers sons form goodly part of the
Kansas society element, while piano
statesmen look to them for their quick
deals. 1t is nothing uncommon for a
farmer to come to town and buy two
or three rubber-tired buggies, or even
to place an order for an automobile.
Mr.. D. W. Blaine, a rich farmer Of
Pratt County, superintends all his har
vesting in an automobile. Many 9th
ers are equally plutocratic.
One of the richest farmers in the Kan
sas wheat belt is John 7. Stewart, who
came to the State five years ago. He
borrowed $50 from a friend, rented
quarter section of land in Sumner
County and began work. To-day he Is
worth 100000, and his income from
wheat in 1901 was $G4 900. He is known
as the wheat king Of Kansas. There
are twenty-three millionaires in Kan
sas, fifteen Of whom are farmers living
on farms and running them as an in
vestment. Perhaps they have not all
Of their fortune invested in land, but
goodly portion of it is. Solomon Bes
ley, of Wellington, placed $4,000 In
wheat land last year and realized 80
per cent on his investment, or ten times
as much as he receives from money
loaned in IIlinois.-Ainslee's Magazine.

In Favor of Sheep.

It is sometimes asserted that cattle
and sheep require the same amount
Of feed per 1000 pounds of live weight,
according to Prof. Curtiss. This state
ment seems not to be well founded,
In some experiments at the Iowa sta
ton the cattle consumed 1916 pounds
of dry matter per 1000 pounds Of live
weight against an average Of 29.7 by
the sheep Both cattle and sheep were
on full feed. The sheep made daily
gain Of 3.73 pounds per 1000 pounds
of live weight and the cattle 2.14. In
summing up this comparison we find
that while the sheep ate 48 per cent
more than the cattle they gained near
ly 70 per cent more.

Hay in Round Bales.

The cylindrical bale has become very
popular for hay and cotton, and many
shippers are discarding their old
presses to get one that will press it in
this form. The standard bale is eight
cen inches in diameter and thirty-six
inches long. The pressure used in
packing for home use puts about two
hundred pounds in such bale, but
when intended for export they use
higher pressure and get in about 275
pounds. A bale put up for army use
is but half as long, or eighteen inches,
and weigs about 40 pounds. It Is cal
culated that a good pack horse or mule
side, and they can go where the army
wagons could not. Thousands Of tons
Of these round bales have been shipped
to our army in the Philippines, and a
large amount to the British army in
South Africa. In this form a given
weight Of hay is compressed into about
one-half the space that it occupied in
the square bale, and the fact that 1t
does not pack as closely in car or YES
sci, there being spaces between the
bales, which prevents moulding, pre-
serves the sweetness of the hay, and
the close pressure in the bale reduces
he combustibility. For cotton many Of
che same advantages are claimed for
the round bale, that is, getting more in
small space and reducing the danger
from fire.-American Cultivator.

Topdressing Winter Wheat.

In some sections Of the country it is
a practice to top dress the wheat in the
fall, and this regardless Of the guam
tity Of fertilizer applied to the field
before seeding. This is an excellent
plan and should be more generally prac-
ticed. The idea is to apply this top
dressing Immediately after seeding, US
ing manure spreader arranged so that
the manure will be scattered evenly
but quite thin. During the winter the
strength Of the manure is washed down
to the roots of the plants while the
coarser portion acts as mulch.

Brief Hints.

Garry lighted match with the light
ed end from you to keep it from going
out
To set the dye in cotton stockings
put a good handful Of common salt In
the washing water.
Iron the silk fronts of embroidered
stockings with warm iron to make
them bright and shiny.
To polish fretwork first rub it over
with sandstone, then dip a cloth in lin
seed oil and rub the wood we'll with it.
When ripping up the seams Of an
old skirt if the ripping is started from
the bottom, the goods are much less
likely to tear at the edges.
A little pipeclay dissolved in the
water employed in washing clothes will
vastly improve their color and will
prove a great saving of time, trouble
and soap.
Keep all hooks and eyes and buttons
firmly sewed on, thus avoiding the
temptation to use pins and saving the
wear on your skirt bands. Nothing
wears and tears out bands so quickly
as pinning.
An admirable idea for cramped bed
rooms is to have a long mirror set in
the closet door; extra hooks on the 9TH
er side and skirt hanger or so never
come amiss, and bag below them for
boots and slippers Is very desirable.
To clean wood tables and shelves use
this mixture: Half a pound each of soft
soap and sand and a quarter Of
a pound Of lime Mix and apply with a
scrubbing brush. Rinse with plenty
of clean water and when dry the wood
will be spotlessly white.
The cleaning Of windows may be
greatly facilitated by first busting them
with whiting. Sew up some whiting
In small linen bag and rub the whole
window and lodges, Rub this off with
cough cloth and polish with channels.
Another plan is to rub the glass with
q cnamois, dampened with whiting. and
polish with soft cloths.

miles they were from shore, based on
the number of miles per hour which
their fish tugs made.
Among the legislative measures eff

In general more is probably known
of lower lake fisheries than those about
Lake Huron, Lake Superior, st. Marys
River and the immediate vicinity of
the American and Canadian Soos. The
upper lake regions comprise a new
country and will be more to the FIJI,

AS a fishing ground st. Marys River

cided interest In her fisheries. The
Michigan hatchery is one of the finest
in the country, and is situated so near
the great canals as to be an object OF
section. This hatchery, it Is said,
places in Michigan waters, annually
100000 white fish, 100000 lake
trout, and 100000 brook trout
Of the five Great L; kes, Lake Erie
furnishes the world with more fresh
ter. The Lake Erie fisheries employ
in the neighborhood of 1000 men. Fish
ing companies often operate fifteen to
twenty tugs. These tugs or boats each
set many nets with a capacity of 400
to 500 pounds each. The nets are set
from five to- % or 80 miles out in the
lake. The value of each net is So. At
the wharfs fish are removed from the
tug decks to the packing houses in
boxes. Here they are prepared for
shipment to distant points, they often
going even to the ocean ports.
