ALFALFA IN THE SOUTH

To the many queries in regard to al
falfa we have of late generally given
favorable replies. In fact, with the re-
cent experience with this crop it prom
isos to take leading place among our
hay crops in all parts of the country.
A plant that thrives from Minnesota to
Louisiana, increasing in production as
it goes southwark, cannot fail to be of
great Importance. Two and three crops
can be cut on it's northern limit, four
when we reach Georgia, and by irriga-
ton in Louisiana, seven cuttings have
been made, and eleven tons of hay Sc
cured per acre. Passing the fine farm
of Col. j. S. Carr, near Hillsboro, N c.,
a few days ago, we were pleased to see the
fine appearance of the old alfalfa fieIus
low about eight years DID, but especially
to note two fields of the present sea-
sons sowing just starting up from a
clipping and looking like velvety lawn.
This farm is being devoted to alfalfa
hay as money crop. The soil is the
typical red clay of the Southern up
lants, and shows plainly that on all
these rolling hills the crop will succeed.

STABBED HIS FATHER Is TIMES.

(Special to The Times Dispatch.

(Speclal TO Inc Iimes- DlSpaJcn.)
ValdOsta Ga, Oct. Gust as he stepp-
ed from the church at Argyle, in Clinch
county, where he preached last night, Rev.
Richard James, a prominent minister of
the Primitive Baptist Church, was at
tackled and cut to pieces by his son, Sc
ward James, whom he had chastised just
before the service began.
The young man, who is twenty-five
years old, stabbed his father in thirteen
places One of the wounds is in the throat
and fears are entertained that it may prove
fatal.
The trouble arose over the refusal of the
son to do the fathers bidding.
When the wagon which the family rode
reached the church, it was found that the
tail gate was missing and Seward was told
to go back and find it. When he refused
the father declared his purpose to rule in
his family and gave the rebelling son a
sound thrashing. This angered Seward to
such an extent that he waited for his
father after procuring knife, and assailed
him as soon as he left the church.
After the affair the son surrendered to
the sheriff. The father says that he is
himself to blame and has asked that his
son be not prosecuted.

IT'S A MISTAKE.
To Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor Grades
of Coffee.

Manv people lay all the blame for the
diseases caused by coffee upon the poorer
grades of coffee but this is an error as
the following proves: Il have used every
kind of the best grades of tea and coffee
that can be got from first class grocer
but never found one that would not upset
my nervous system and 1T was not until
I began to drink Postum Food Coffee in
place of coffee and tea that l had relief
from the terrific attacks of nervous sick
headache from which / had suffered for
80 years.
81 had tried all kinds of medicines but
none helped me.
"Soon after l stopped drinking coffee
and began to drink Postum the head
aches grew less and it was not long until
7 was entirely cured and | have never
had return of this distressing trouble
for nowadays l never drink coffee but
stick to Postum.
''As soon as my wife saw what Postum
had done for me she gave up coffee which
she had drank all her life. This was six
weeks ago and she is a changed woman
for her nervousness has all disappeared
her face has become smooth and her
cheeks have good rosy red color. She
sleeps well too, something she could never
do while she drank coffee. We consider
Postum household necessity in my house
and have induced many friends to try this
wonderful food drink in place of Coffee. .

TWO soIL1NG CROPS IN A SEASON.

The editor has been very much inter-
ested IN the crops on field he passes
daily going to his own farm. 1t is the
farm of the North Carolina College of
Agriculture. This field had a sod of
grass on it which had been grazed pretty
hard during winter and early spring
1t was broken and planted in corn, and
finer growth of corn is seldom seen.
1 estimated that it would make from so
to IS bushels per acre. But as soon as
the ears hung heavily on the stalks the
corn was cut and fed to cattle in the
stables, and as the land was cleared.
COW peas were sown, and for weeks past
the heavy mass of peas has been gradu-
ally cut and fed to balance the corn from
another field. The amount of green food
this field has furnished this season has
ccrtinly been very large, and it well
illustrates what the Southern farmer
can do with cattle if he will. With a
field near the barn where manure is
handy it is hard to estimate the amount
of soiling food that can be grown on a
small piece of land.

cation of trees into a beautiful park,
abolished the iron fence and built the
splendid marble terrace in harmony with
the great structure above, and adding to
It's majestic proportions. But the work
OF the venerable artist Is over. Ripe
with years and honorable works, Freder-
lex Law Olmstead has passed away. The
greatest of modern landscape gardeners
Is no more. But the new ideas OF natural
beauty which he spread throughout the
land Will live after him. His work on the
Capitol grounds was the final cause of the
removal of the crowded nurse trees from
the Smithsonian grounds and which has
made them, too beautiful. Downing
planted these grounds thickly, putting
in quick growing trees for temporary use
until the trees of his design grew. After
his death whenever anyone tired to re-
move the nurse trees that were crowd
ing the life out of the good trees the
papers made howl about the destruction
of trees, not knowing that the ak is at
times as important in the gardeners art
as the planting spade. All over the land
Olmstead taught the value and beauty
OF open grass spaces with bordering
groups of trees and shrubbery as con-
trastcd with the old planting of trees in
discriminatory in groves for the destruc
ton of grass and of each other. In many
of our parks there is much, however, yet
to be learned. In the beautiful Pros
pect Park of Brooklyn we recently no.
ticed that all along the Ninth street bor-
der there are thousands of worthless trees
crowding the shape, and almost the life,
out of fine ones. A landscape artist with
en- ak corps is badly needed there. Park
managers are slow to learn that one we'll
developed trees is worth more than a
dozen crowded and starved ones There
was something of a newspaper howl when
Olmstead began to take out trees in the
Capitol Park, but, all now see the ideal
that was in the mind of the artist and
acknowledge his wisdom. If some bold
artist would take Prospect Park and some
other parks we know of, in hand. the pub
lie would soon learn how necessary the
AK is at times in the production of beauty
in tree and shrub. Mr.. Omstead's long
life has left it's impress on American
landscape art that will never be effaced.
May his successors follow in the same
line.
