The Western Reserve.

In the early days Of the Hayes ad-
ministration, when Mr.. Evarts was
secretary Of state, the members of the
cabinet were discussing matters in an
informal way one morning when the
president mentioned that he had made
a few appointments without consulting
his official family, the appointees being
personal friends All the places filed
happened to fall within the state de
partment. Secretary Evarts turned to
John Sherman and said, with a twin
kle in his eye, II have often heard and
read about the western reserve of Ohio,
but must confess that I have never
seen any of it"

President on Alaska.

President Roosevelt fulfilled his promises to the Valdez delegation that visited him, and inserted the following in regard to Alaska, in his message:
 especially urge to Congress the need of wise legislation for A aska. l, is not to our credit as a nation that Alaska, which has been ours for ihir; y-five years, should still have as loor sys,em of laws as k tEe case. No country has a more valuable pos>ession-in mineral wealth, in fisheries, iurs, fores and also in land available for cer,ain kinds of farming and s.ockgrowing. Ii Is territory of great size and varied resources $. well fitted ,o sup DOT large permanent opula ion. A aska E.,ds good land law anu such provision for homes:eaders and pre-emp;ions as will encour- age permanent settlement. W, should shape legislation wi,h view not to the exploiting and abandoning of the territory, but 0 the building up of homes therein. The land laws should be fiber in type, 70 as to hold out inducements to the actual settler whom We mos. desire to see take rossess.on of the cOun ry.
 The forests of Alaska should h. pro ec,,d, and, as q sec .ndary bu still inn orant matter, the game also, and at the sane tine it is inl- ltra:ive that the settlers should h, allowed 70 cut timber, under Irop- tr regulations, for their own use. Laws should be ,nac;ed to pro ec,
 he Alaskan salmon fisheries against the greed which would destroy tom. They should be pres. rved as permanent indus " and food supply. Their management and control should be turned over to the com mission of fish and fisher les. Alaska should have a dele gale in the congress. It would be well if d congressional committ, C could visit Alaska and investigate is needs on the ground.

Alfalfa Notes.

Alfalfa prefers deep, moist and warm
soils.
There Is none Of our forage crops that
will respond more readily to thorough
preparation Of the seed bed than alfal-
IA.
Cut alfalfa that has been rained on
demands the utmost care to cure prop
erly, because Of the tendency OF the
leaves to become brittle and shatter.
Alfalfa should not be pastured until
It has matured good hardy crown
and root system to enable 1t to with
stand the tramping Of stock. At least
two years should be allowed the crop
for this purpose, and even more would
be conducive to hardy crop.
Alfalfa seed, being small, demand IA
vorable conditions for successful germi-
nation Rains following close after roll
ing of the land are liable to compact
the surface Of the soil to such an ex-
tent MS to render 1t dificult matter
for the young plants to push through.
This condition can be remedied By har-
row.ng, which breaks the crust and al
lows the plants to easily push through.
Do not turn hungry or thirsty anil
mails In an alfalfa field. By observing
this rule and further accustoming them
to 1t by gradually increasing their time
Of feeding, little or no injurious effect
will accompany the pasturing of horses
and hogs. Cattle are more liable to
bloat, and even with the best Of care
and attention fatal cases will occur.
Soiling cattle is the safest method Of
feeding them alfalfa.-Texas Expert
ment Station.

Noyn Scotia Ships Are Said to he the
Worst Anoat.

Noya Scotia Ships Are Said to he the
Worst Anoat.
The worst case in the way OF ship
into which Jack can so is Il Nova SEQ
tian A certain Nova Scotia ship came
into port at Santos one day with crew
that was little short Of mutinous owing
to the fact that the captain was too
sparing of the rations. The ship had q
bad name among sailors at the best.
and as soon as she was anchored the
entire crew cleared out. For three
weeks after she had discharged and got
her new cargo she lay there with no
crew to take her to sea. At last the
captain went to some of the crimps on
shore and told them to ROUND up crew
under any pretext. The crimps sent
men around the docks Offering big
wages to any OF the loungcrs who
would go aboard the vessel to rig
some new sails. Some twenty men
were quickly picked up, many OF them
In their shirt sleeves. and were taken
aboard. They were then covered with
revolvers and rifles by the officers.
and the anchor was weighed. and the
Nova Scotia ship stood out to sea. her
unwilling crew leaving families behind
without even q chance 10 let them
know what had happened. The next
port was Sydney, and the next Yoko-
hama. then San Francisco. then Val
paralso thenLlsbon. and for those men
who stayed with the ship 1t was just
two and half years until she went to
Grande du Sui. the nearest port home.
Many Of them. however. had cleared
out and gone home In other ships long
before that.--Broughton Brandepburg
