HOT WEATHER HINTS.

Now that it's very clear,
That the sWvltoring days are near
It's the time to give a little good ad-
vice
No doubt everyone has met
Folks who prowl and fumc, and fret,
And the language that they use is
far from nice
| would tn these folks appeal,
For | know just how they feel
Certainly the heats enough to make
them fret;
But think that can show,
That it's better to go slow,
And the less they growl the cooler
they win get
Just be cheerful and don't say,
"Is it hot enough today
For the question has caused moro
than one mans death.
II another shold ask you.
Just say. think mp something new,
And IN wager YOU win take away
his breath
Then ircrold drinks don't swirl,
Nor anything that's chill
For the cooler your msidos, more
hot youu be.
And when drinks you're asked to
choose
Never say. # viii take boo2c"-
That's the worst stun you can drink,
wis" men agree
As to the best things TO eat
DO not gorge yourself with meat;
1t tx healthier TO live on eggs and
fruits,
MIX and bread and oats and rice
WIN keep You feeling very nice
For the heated term It's just the
food that suits
I}nt, above all food and drink,
It's important what you think,
For If your thoughts are gentle,
good and sweet
Youm be happy all the day,
And agtoniBhcd at the way

ALFALFA GRASS.
Merits of This Plant for Pasturage
and Fodder,

Merits of This Plant for Pasturage
and Fodder,
The eastern farmer who raises one
good crop of hay a year is satisfied.
His contentment, however, will doubt
less be considerably disturbed when
he learns than in southern California
and in many other western states < is
possible to raise from three to five
crops a year of the best kind of ay
ever fed horses and cattle. 1t is the
alfalfa grass, or, as it is sometimes
called, luCcne, a ClOyerlikC plant be
longing to the bean fanny. 1t Is tall
and SENDER, with large violet or
purple flowers in an oblong raceme
and twisted pods For many years
alfalfa has been known to be an oX-
Cellent crop as hay for cattle and pas
turage for horses and hogs, but it has
only been within the last two years
that the western farmer has gone eX-
tensiyely into the raising of this ind
of grass, says the New YOrS Imblne,
Alfalfa has been known in america
for fifty years, but for a long time its
introduction into new localities mace
slow progress, as the farmers looked
on it with suspicion and questioned
its adaptabiity for fodder. 1t was
not many years ago that it was de
ClaTed that the soil and climate of
only few states were favorable to tie
growth of alfalfa, but recent expert
ments of farmers in eastern Kansas
and other states where it had not
been grown before were successful
enough to encourage the belief that
the time will come when this very
valuable farm product will be raised
on even the farms in the New Eng
land and Hudson river valleys.
1t is estimated that alfalfa is so
per cent. better feed, pound for
pound than red clover, and outyIelds
the latter by 100 per cent. It's roots
penetrate the soil to a great depth,
which is especially important in dry
regions, as the grass naturally is Ell
ablcd to stand pTotra" Tee dry spells.
Alfalfa is covered with little nodules,
or tubercles that are the homes OF
micro-organisms that have the power
to absorb free nitrogen from the air
and make it available for plant food.
This, of course enables the alfalfa
TO produce a large amount Of nitro
genous feed. and at the same time
materially increases the fertility of
the soil. Qualities of this kind make
alfalfa grass the most economical
range feed in the hands of the farmer.
Last summer, although Kansas was
without rain for many weeks, farmers
who had altaaf realized from $50 70
$50 an acre on their crops In Cali
fornia, Arizona and New Mexico the
alfalfa grass hourishes, an. in south
orn CalitOI.,a five crops a year are
not uncommon

Previous Antarctic Voyages.

Until quite recent years the antarc-
tic region had had but few explorers.
The earliest recorded discovery is that
of Dirk Gerritz. who in 1893 was car
ried south by a storm and found, prob
ably what is now known as the South
Shetlands, at Ga degrees south lati-
tude. Capt Cook made two antarctic
voyages, in the second one reaching
latOtude II degrees 10 minutes south,
at longitude 100 degrees 81 minutes
west. sailing entirely around the south
ern ocean in a high latitude, and dis
covering many islands. In a Russian
expedition in 1921, Bellinghausen
discovered Peter |. Island and Alexan-
der l. Island. Enderly Land was dis
covered by John Biscoe in 1881, and
ten years later the great English eX-
petition under Captain (afterward Sir
James Ross, in the Erebus and Terror,
discovered and named Victoria Land,
and on February %, 1912, reached
latitude 78 degrees II minutes south.
The continent which Captain Charles
Wilkes claimed to have discovered in
1910 has not been found by the later
explorers. In 1874 the Challenger ex-
petition was turned back by the ice
in latitude sc degrees 43 minutes
south
Four Dundee vessels, equipped for
geographical observation by the Royal
Geographical Society. made a voyage
to the antarctic regions in 1929
They were accompanied by the Nor
wegian sealer Jasen, under Captain
Larsen, and they visited and made
valuable observations on the South
Shetlands and on Graham Land
The Belgian antarctic expedition
under Captain Adrien de Gerloche
sailed from Antwerp in 1897 They
expected to leave the party to winter
at Cape Adare. but near Alexander J.
Land the Belgica caught in an Toe
pack and was held for a year, drifting
as far south as latitude II degrees 80
minutes in longitude 81 degrees 80
minutes west That winter was the
first spent by men far enough south
to loose sight Of tie sun. The CONT
nent was found 10 be mountainous and
gIaciated and without land animals
except a few insects. though sea fowl
abounded About 500 miles OF the

leased themselves by cutting a cana.
