In Praise of Alfalfa.

A railroad official says of alfalfa.
sour farmers, chiefly in Nebraska, de-
pend almost solely upon it to feed, and
abundant crop is necessary. The first
crop is enormous and acreage has been
largely increased, which reflects its
Importance. Horses work we'll on al
falfa feed and require very little grain.
Cattle thrive and fatten quickly, and
only have to be finished with grain be-
fore shipping to market. The most i'm
portant feature of alfalfa lies in the
fact that it has made a hay-eating an
imal of the hog. Nebraska raises two
crops on unirrigated land, and as many
as four crops on irrigated soil. The
former cantains about 25 per cent.
more nutritive qualities, however, and
is the most grown."-Prairie Farmer.

THE ABUSE OF A
Too Many Trees and Shrubs Around
the Farm House Produce I'm
healthy Dampness.

For u hot summers shade around
the house seems to be an absolute ne
cessity. 1t is well to remember, how
ever, that, like most other good
things, we may SO use shade that it
becomes absolutely harmful. 1t has
often been observed that while a home
is new and has little shade it is health
full, but after the house is buried IN
der trees the family begins to suffer
from various diseases, which when the
the trees were small and cast little
shade they were entirely free from.
The explanation is this: When a
house is, buried in shade, it becomes
dark and damp. Darkness and damp
ness are both favorable for the growth
of molds, mildews and disease germs.
Sunlight dries the house and kills out
right the germs of most of ourformid-
able diseases. rheumatism and on
sumption thrive especially in dark and
damp houses.
In the dark dirt accumulates; dis
ease runs rampant in dirt and damp
ness. And then in darkness and dirt
the arch enemy of man, the devil, too,
is at home, and we have the quartet
darkness, dirt, disease and the devil.
Shade should be around the house,
not over it. Let there be open places
all around the house, SO that the sun
may shine directly upon it. This will
keep it dry and wholesome.
Another evil which comes with too
many trees is the shutting off of the
currents of air so necessary when il
is very hot. Heat is much more en-
durable with plenty of moving air
than it is, when there is no circulation
whatever. Plant trees, plant them in
abundance, but not too close to the
house, and. when they become too
dense cut some of them out. Remem-
Der the injunctions: "Be temperate
in all things ,""Hold fast to that which
is good."-G. G. Croft, in N. Y. Trib.

FROM WAR TO PEACE.
Indications of n Tendency of Men
Towards n Peaceful Settlement
P of Differences.

But happily there are indications
that war is likely eventually.to become
as perfunctory as dueling in u day
has for the most part become, writes
Henry Rutgers Marshall, in the Inter-
national Monthly. AS dueling has long
since been governed by rules of pro-
cedure which enable the seconds"
at times to prevent the mortal COM
bat, so the complex rules of diplo-
macy very commonly serve in our day
to delay, and at times to prevent,
breaches of the peace; and certain Of
the representatives of the powers at
The Hague conference, it will be re-
membered, attempted to establish a
more formal code to govern the modes
of warfare than now exists, and more
effective methods of peaceful inter-
vention. They suggested the propri-
ETY. of establishing neutral commits
sions of inquiry to aid in the settle
ment of national disputes, distinctly
comparing the function of these pro-
posed commissions to that of the Sec
OuuS Ol IuC COHlDdldHIS ulueT Uue
dueling code. They attempted, fur
thermore, to add new regulations to
those adopted at the Geneva confer
ence tending to the amelioration of
the horrors of war, looking to the abo-
lition of the use of cruel weapons, and
to the broadening of the protection
given to the merciful Red Cross serv-
ice.
In all this we see distinctly an ad.
vance from that stage of barbarism
where war was carried on for destruc.
ton and rapine, to a stage where it
is waged only that one of the combat.
ants may obtain acknowledgment of
superiority; even as in personal COM
bat the few remaining duelists nova
days fight only for acknowledgment
of defeat, not as of old to cause the
disablement or death of the antag.

Torpedo Mail Boats.

In Norway torpedo boats are now
carrying the mail between Christiania
and Bergen. The naval authorities
have long been anxious to increase the
efficiency of the officers and men on
board of these boats as much as pos
sible, and they finally decided that
this object could be achieved by letting
the boats run regularly between the
two greatest cities in the country. For
three reasons this plan was preferred
to any other-first, because during
the trips the boats could be thorough
ly tested; second, because the officers
could become fully acquainted with
that portion of the Norwegian coast,
and, third, because the postal service
would be benefited. There is no rail-
road connection between Bergen and
Christiana, and all postal communica-
lions between the two cities are de-
livered by boat. In doing this work
the torpedo boats far excel the ordi-
nary mail steamers.-N. Y. Sun.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

Mr.. Hutchins spent from 1861 to

a northern soldier and with the re-
suit that he contracted rheumatism
which gave him much pain till Mr..
Fred Parker, the local druggist, adj.
vised him to try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
The first two boxes did not seem to
help him very much, but Mr.. Parker,
knowing that Dodd's Kidney Pills
would eventually cure him, pressed
Mr.. Hutchins to continue, and by the
time four boxes were used the short,
sharp, shooting pains which had tor
tured his back, hip and legs were en-
tirely gone. Mr.. Hutchins says: 81

DOCILE FARM TEAMS.
Only Way to Insure Horses from Run
away Habit Is Never to Let Them
Get Started.

Generally speaking, no one feature
will add more to the value of a horse
or team than the fact that they are
free from the runaway habit. The only
way to insure keeping them from this
is never to allow them to get started.
Because a team runs away once is no
reason that it is spoiled, but it indi-
Gates that the driver has got to use
something more than ordinary caution
in handling them thereafter. Let a
team get away two or three times,
and it means that a driver will be as
Stunning considerable risk every time
he takes the least liberty with them.
There is no one characteristic that a
farm team car possess that will make
them more valuable than the fact that
they can be trusted, and, on the other
hand, there is nothing that will 4etract
more from their practical value than
to feel that they are ready to run on
the least pretext. Farmers have ire
quently owned such teams, and can
second the Drovers' Journal in its po.
sition. AS a rule, if the driver is care
full with a team during the first two or
three years of their driving, the dam
ger of their catching the habit in later
years is reduced to a minimum; but
there is one thing that must alwayi
be borne in mind, that, nc matter how
old a horse may be, how apparently
trusty and how deserving confidence.
it is always liable to run when UT.
usually startled. 1t is the first i'm
pulse of brute nature to get away from
danger.

EPILEPSY IN PIGS.
This Disease Indicates Imperfect Ia
TRITON of the Brain and the
Nervous System.

Blind staggers, or, in medical par.
lance, epilepsy, in pigs, is quite COM
mon. 1t may be the effect of various
causes. In whatever way brought on,
the condition indicates imperfect nu-
triton of the brain and nervous sys-
TEN. This may be brought about by
unduly stimulating food, as constant
feeding upon cornmeal, and confine-
ment. A wet, uncomfortable bed often
leads to the disease in young pigs. Of
course a too close breeding develops
this disease. The symptoms of an at
tack of epilepsy are sometimes diff
ferent in different animals. Some
times the pig stands and froths at the
mouth; then, after a few moments,
staggers and falls, as if in a fit. After
lying awhile, it cover and seems in
its normal condition again, perhaps for
several days, when symptoms will oc-
cur again, often proving fatal. Some
times the pig forces his nose into a
corner of the pen and stands trembling
for a few moments, and suddenly darts
around the pen a few times and falls
motionless upon the floor: When
symptoms of staggers are developedin
small pigs they should be given a good,
dry bed, and 10 or IL drops of chloride
of iron twice a day for a few days in
their food. AS a preventive, when
pigs show symptoms of disease, with
hold the food mainly and feed sulphur
and powdered charcoal for a few days.
Supplying dry, comfortable quarters,
and feeding the young pigs with a good
supply of milk and occasionally a mess
of boiled flaxseed, will be particularly
good, as containing a large proper
ton of oleaginous matter. A few cab
bages, grass and oatmeal are helpful
as a varied diet. As in many other
things, a due regard to that condition
that seems to prevent the disease is
better than to be obliged to resort to
the various remedies, and then, per-
haps, fail to restore the animal to
health.-Barnum's Midland Farmer.

LOOKS LIKE A SPIDER.
A Diminutive Tree from South Africa
Which Stands in a Group
by Itself.

Two specimens of a remarkable
tree which never attains a height of
more than two feet above the surface
of the ground have been received
from South Africa by the botanical
department of the Minnesota univer-
sity. They are the Welwitschia Mira
bills, a tree which stands in a group
by itself with no sisters or cousins or
aunts in the vegetable kingdom.
This tree, says the Minneapolis Jour-
nal, grows only in the sandy, desert
valleys of Demaraland and is a re-
markable illustration of the adapta-
ton of plant life to the conditions of
it's habitat. The trunk and root to-
gether form a cone which, in the
largest specimen at the university, is
about 40 inches long. Of this growth
about IA inches would be above
ground. The top of this abbreviated
trunk has a bowl-like depression,
around the edge of which grow small
cones. This edge is divided into two
lobes by deep notches. The peculiar
leaves spring from the edge of the
depression. Primarily there are two
leaves, one to each lobe, but as they
grow they split into long, strap
shaped appendages, which lie fiat
upon the ground and radiate from
the parent stem.
Several hundred years ago marines
landed upon this coast and crossed
the mountains to the first valley
where this odd tree was growing,
They returned with stories of huge
captive spiders, each chained to some
particular spot and wildly waving it's
gigantic legs in a vain effort to get
free. This story did as much as any
thing else to ruin the hard. working
sailor mans reputation for veracity
and the original narrators of this
story had been dead centuries before
they were indicated. In 1860 scien-
tific explorers penetrated the same
country and discovered the remark
able tree. AS it's strap-shaped leaves
waved in the breeze about it's stubby
trunk, the resemblance to a gigantic
spider was startling and the origin Of
the early day sea yarn was easily es'
tab1iShed.

are the following: Leave the drop

leave the same straw in the nests all

Hindu Widow Lot.

Action is being taken by certain en-

shocking condition of the average Hin

of India. To begin with, the Indian
widow is shaved bald, and can only hide
her badness with her cloth; she is de-
prived of all jewelry. wears coarser
clothes than the rest of womankind,
must fast on certain days and every
day has fewer meals than are taken as
a rule by the rest of the family. The
scheme of relief afoot is that no widow
shall be shaved until she is 81, the age
ut which it may be supposed that she
will be able to show a will of her own
III case she objects. - Cincinnati En-

PERFECT COWPEA VINES.

when you say mo one should think OF

nitrogen. L SOW cow peas on every

plant during its season. just now
I am clearing up a rough, rocky,
brush pasture that is too tough to
pillow, so with an extra heavy cut
away I am chewing it up and seed
ing it thickly with COW peas" What
we meant was that on the average
farm it is better to grow corn or
some similar crop when the soil is
already good enough to grow it. Put
the COW peas on poor land and
make it good enough to grow what
you need!-Rural New Yorker.

WEAVING Pigs Too EARLY.

A series of eight experiments re.
Gently demonstrated the ACCESSIBILITY
of keeping pigs on sows as long as
possible, consistent with the healthy
and strong condition of the mother,
says Farmers Guide. This for many
reasons, chief of which is that a sow
and her pigs together will extract
more nourishment from a given guam
tity of food than will the weaned pigs
alone. The sow and pigs were sepa-
rately weighed each week and any loss
or gain of the TO- was deducted from
or added to the increased weight of the
pigs. The pigs were allowed to re.
main on the sow for ten weeks, then a
similar course of feeding was carried
on with the pigs for seven weeks. The
sow and pigs consumed on an average
231 pounds of meal and 534 pounds of
skim milk in making a similar in,
crease.
