GERONIMO, THE APA CHE.
The Broken Old Warrior May BE Gi%en
Citizenship.

Geronimo. the apache Indian chief and
the man " hom Gen Miles has named
1.-The human tiger" is to be released from
captivity at last and may be given citi-
zensbip.
Geronimo is the most terrible name in
the history of 200 years of bloody Indian
fighting For the last fourteen years
Geronimo has been a military prisoner at
Fort Sill. o. I. Now. at the age of so,
he has signifed his wish to became a do
ellie subject of the great father at WASH
ington.
Geronimo is old and weak: great faith
err is young and strong: his arm Is like a
withe and his teeth are long and sharp"
said the broken old warrior a few days
ago, as he affixed his mark 10 the legal
papers that 90 with his application Cor
release
Gen. Frank Armstrong Of the regular
army has been looking into the question
and has recommended that Geronimo be
paroled and made a citizen. Geronimo
has been free. practically. for several
years now. or ever since his removal
from captivity in the Florida Everglades,
10 the barracks al Fort Sill. Although
under constant surveillance. he has a
small farm, and receives $50 g month as
a government scout" This sum is in
the nature Of bonus. and Geronimo has
been known to chuckle shrewdiy at the
queer tactics Of a great father who hires
scouts to watch scouts.
With Geronimo are 29S Apaches. The
remnant Of the Chiriraus viii be re-
leased.

While this breed of fowls is by no
means new it is only recently that it
has attracted the attention of the gen
eral public who are interested in poul-
try. The Illustration shows a pullet of
the breed and shows well the form of
the bird. The hens of this breed are
good layers. doclle bear confinement
well and are good mothers. While It
would be unfair to say that the breed
could be ranked with the Leghorns as
layers. they are crowding them closely.
and by judicious selection may before
long reach the Leghorn standard. AS

Growing Alfalfa.


The statement regarding sorghum to
the effect that farmers are getting over
the idea that it is mainly crop for
favored sections, applies as well to
alfalfa, one of the finest of forage
crops, when one comes to know it well
and to properly grow it. The soil
should be well prepared for alfalfa;
and it should be a deep soil, for the
crop is one that may be cut at least
twice year, after the first season. for
several years Sow the seed with a
grass seeder, using from fifteen to
twenty pounds an acre; harrow lightly
and then roll firmly Usually the plan
is 10 first SOW the ground with some
grain crop, like barley, following d.
rectly after with the alfalfa seed in
ley when ripe but do not pasture the
alfalfa the first season. 1t is important
that this be not done. and here is jusc
where so many who try alfalfa fail. for
by pasturing the first season the plants
do not have a fair chance to get a
hold IN the ground. As a matter of
fact, if hay is thu "op desired, alfalfa
should not be pas, ed at any time any
more than any crop which is intended
for hay. The second season the alfal-
ia will show its head early in the
spring, and may be cut at least twice
that season, possibly three times. The
following seasons three crops each
summer can readily be cut from the
field. Alfalfa is drought-resisting, the
stock like it, and it is as easy to grow
as any hay. Try an acre of it this
spring as an experiment.
