 O'Neili's bulletins, in one respect, are like the tides. They keep chang ing. For period of three days you have chance to select bargain, and at the end of that time some other bargain is presented. But in one way they are all alike; they are all bar gains. It happens to strike me at this moment when the wind Is whist ling around the corners and the pres ent house you occupy as a tenant is not satisfactory, that you ought to buy a house that will be satisfactory. Tn view of the fact that you can own house with a smaller expenditure in the long run than If you paid rent, which can demonstrate to you be- yond doubt. I should think that you would come to me to buy a house for the reason that can give you bet ter bargain than any one in town. At any rate come in and we will talk it over.

Alfalfa and Overflow.

MT. W. J. Spillman, chief of the division of forage plant work of the U. $. Department of Ag- riculture, gives the Breeders Gazette an account of the behav- for of alfalfa under overflow, which has some local bearing. We are continually learning, he says, new things about alfalfa, so that it becomes nee essary oc- casionally to revise our ideas. I have been one of those who have been maintaining that alf- alfa should not be SOwn on land that is subject to overflow, be- cause in the Western states 1t Is we'll known that flooding field of alfalfa with irrigation water will kill it. But during the past | few months a number Ot wei authenticated instances have been brought to light where alf alfa is thriving perfectly thi: summer, although it was flooded many feet deep last winter.
 Col. R. E. Smith, of GraySO1 county, Texas, tells that part O his alfalfa field was covered feet deep by water, and that large amount of sediment settled on the land. As soon as the wate
 went down and the ground be came dry enough to work h went over the field with a dis
 harrow and the alfalfa showe' no ill effects from the flooding.
