Common varieties of alfalfa at the
Wisconsin station have quite generally
winter killed and in other instances
have been crowded out by weeds and
grass. Turkestan alfalfa has proved
much harder and given better results.
The best results were secured when
the Turkestan alfalfa was seeded with
oats as a nurse crop. The oats We're
sown at the rate Of about one bushel
per acre and seemed to aid in keeping
down the weeds. 1t is believed that to
obtain a good catch in Wisconsin the
crop should be seeded in the spring on
fall plowed land as soon as the ground
can be put in good condition. III the
ground is inclined to be weedy II should
be seeded with nurse crop OF oats.
Should the oats be inclined to lodge
they should be cut. as otherwise they
will smother the alfalfa.

WHEN OSTRICHES
THRIVED HERE

Editor Advertiser: A note in Local
Brevities about the failure of the
ostrich industry reminds me that IN
der the management of Captain Nor
risseau. the nephew of the proprietor,
DR.. Trousseau, it could not be consid-
cred a failure by any means. The doc
tor imported the birds from South
Africa. The Cape Government mad
levied an export duty of $500 per bird
so as to prevent outsiders from en-
gaging in the business. To avoid pay
ing the duty the birds were driven up
country until out of the jurisdiction OF
Cape Colony and then put on shipboard.
The three birds increased to sixty-five
under the careful and intelligent man
agement of Captain Morrisseau. The
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-06-24

Captain used a Petaluma incubator also
the female birds for Matching.
It was a pretty sight to see the birds
on the slopes of Diamond Head graz
ing. They knew the feeding hour and
would start for home occasionally at
a terrific gait. My recollection is that
Jumbo came along at a twenty-six-foot
stride as measured by Captain Nor
risseau. The feathers of the native
birds were pronounced No. 1 and were
sold for the highest figures in the Lon
don market. The feathers have to un-
dergo a preparation before being put
on the market It was the intention of
Capt Morrfsseau to tunnel through the
thin lip of Diamond Head and drive
the birds inside TO Craze. The Doctor
had already secured several thousand
acres of land in the neighborhood. Thus
ostrich raising was proving a success,
the flock was increasing rapidly and the
feathers were bringing the highest mar
ket price when Capt. Morrisseau's
leave of absence expired and he was
ordered TO join his regiment in France

Notice was received yesterday that a
cadet had been appointed to represent
Hawaii. There has been considerable
rivalry to secure the appointment but
at last comes the welcome news that
the new territory is to share in the
defense of the nation. Coming from a
reliable source the advice may be thor
oughly relied upon. Last evening many
well wishers called upon the happy ap-

IMPORTANT FACTS.

Deaths from what is called
heart disease, or heart failure,
seem to be increasing among US.
The only true heart failure is
mechanical arrangement of the
valves of the heart from pre-
UiOus inflammation of its lin
ing. One may have this and live
out all his days. IL is not this
malady that is dropping people
In their tracks as though by pis-
toll shots. On : no. What then
1t is a symptom, often NANTES
ted an the heart, of a general
condition. The actual cause of
the sudden ending of so many
lives is nervous prostration, ane-
mia or poverty of the blood,
general debility and the poor d.
gestion and assimilation of food.
The nerves tremble and ache be-
. cause they are half starved, and
THE heart weakens because the
nerves do not give it the needed
impulse. A person with vital
lied and well-nourished body will
never suffer from heart trouble;
ant the remedy to accomplish
thisis the effective food medicine
