Alfalfa or Lueerne.

This forage plant is winning such great
favor with western farmers that our
southern farmers should give It a thor
ough test or trial.
II needs loose mellow soil. and the
roots are said TO penetrate TO extraord-
mary depths after II gets a start. II is
readily eaten by all stock and is reported
TO be super-excellent for raising hogs and
pigs.
The land should be prepared with great
care as alfalfa needs only TO be well set
at the start to stand for years without
Resolving. This is one of its prime ex-
cellencies. Glover in southern fields must
be turned under every few years and the
roots are easily destroyed by long
droughts.

soil will permit. the searching roots go

reIephOnes and Country Newspap.rs

In many farming districts OF the west
the telephone is supersedlng the
newspaper in some directions They
have what they call a news service .
At a certain hour in the evening" O'Clock
usually-the central operator calls up its
subscribers and reads of to them the
news OF the day. The right time to set
clocks is given, then THE weather quota
tions for next day. Market quotations are
also given. and far away states know
the prices in great centres like New
York
News from Washington on national
subjects is then read out. without COM
ment. Twenty minutes is occupied, then
the farm people can begin TO talk again.
II this program Is kept up. and IL is more
than likely Il will continue, then the
farmers viii know everything as soon as
the oailies get IL and generally a week
ahead Of the local papers. These changes
are rapid. People used to do Immense
business by writing letters. Now they
use the long distance telephone, or the
telegraph or ocean cable.
I People used to wait for the weekly pa
ser and read columns OF a speech made
" some dignitary. Now the substance.
the point. the pith Is wired by the Asso-
clated Press and the whole thing is done
and over with. in a little while.
Old-fashioned things are too slow. The
demand is for quick reports-must have
them.
Daily papers will run on three or four
editions TO cater 10 this desire for quick
news. Even they are forestalled in cleo
ton or war times. An immense sheet or
blank space on a big wall is made into
a bulletin board and the news is thrown
thereon in giant letters that a multitude
may read as they run, or run as they
read. Rural mail routes are doing away
with country postoffices. Telephones are
getting ahead OF country newspapers.
The news must be served hot, like bat
ter cakes.

The uneasy head under the crown would

The car OF Russia, who is Queen Al

A living dog is that much better than

sleep without fear in his cabin is that
much happier than the sovereign who is
startled at the rustling of every leaf or
the report of every gun In his vicinity.
IL seems to be an unhealthy era for
monarchs and the head that wears the
crown takes his life in HIS hand when he
attempts TO glorify his ambition by d.
recting attention TO the insecurity Of his

Moonshlners and Cost to This cOun

Service and the deputies.
II grew into a great big trust, where
hordes of favored officials made hand

poor moonshiner to the very jumping on
place; and the Federal court swarmed
from one court term to another with
prisoners and witnesses.

IL all grows out of the combination with
the big manufacturers in the making Of
intoxicants ~
All these court trials these wretched
imprisonments, these impoverished noun
tai nhomes, grow but of this big trust or
combination with the government. While
the little .distiller can pay neither fine or
license and therefore goes TO jail, the big
concerns shape legislation by means OF
their paid agents who are elected to politi-
cal Offices. until they make an enormous
clear profit. What the government de-
mands from the active partner in the
whiskey business viz. its percentage is
the bride. These fat fellows roll in
wealth, while the government stamps out
the poor little moonshiner who believes
down in the bottom of his heart that he
has as good a right to make a bushel Of
corn into whiskey as the great Kentucky
and Illinois distilleries And believe 1t
too. The partnership. which the govern
ment entered into. by which the big dis
tilleries could make millionaire fortunes,
Is a disgrace to the civilization Of this
era.

mountaineer should be driven from his

shals shall draw immense pay from the
