THAT FIELD OF ALFALFA.

The following suggestion with refer
ence to securing a field of alfalfa for
the territory of Iowa, Minnesota and
Wisconsin may be of value: Take a
piece of land from which a crop of
barley, oats or winter wheat has been
removed, fertilize it with about ten or
twelve two horse loads of manure,
pillow, disk and harrow thoroughly to
get as fine seed bed as possible and
then SOW during the first ten days Of
August twenty pounds Of alfalfa seed
to the acre With favorable weather
the alfalfa will make growth this
fall Of nearly one foot, which should
be allowed to remain on the ground
during the winter. Next year it will
give three crops. By this method two
things are secured-the alfalfa has no
fight with the weeds, and there is no
loss Of year in the use Of the land.
This plan is well worth trying by any
one desiring to get field of this most
valuable legume. Try two acres for
hog pasture if for nothing else.

AR0IT SHEEP.

We have several inquiries as to the
sheep business, how to get started,
best breed to get and where to buy 1t
is not a good time now to so into the
business on anything like large
scale, for the sheep and its products
are high priced, and, then, any man
not used to keeping sheep should go
slow in starting with a big flock No
one animal on the farm varies more in
price than sheep. One year they may
be worth So head and the next
dollar and half. The time to buy
them is when every man who has
them wants to get rid of them. Again,
not all farms are adapted to sheep.
Level and wet farms are not suited to
them. They like the hills and the roll
ing land. They must be specially
fenced against or be herded under a
shepherd, and they cannot be success
fully paStured with other stock For
a large part of the prairie country
there is no better way than for three
or four farmers to cooperate and buy
flock of sheep and keep them under
the care Of shepherd all through the
grazing season. In this way each man
gets the benefit derived from the sheep
as a weed eXterminator and land fer
tilizer, and they can lie run anywhere
where there is good feed for them.
This plan saves all bother about fenc-
ing and prevents many losses which
occur when they are not under the
constant eye of shepherd. Thousands
of sheep could be kept all over the
northwest and kept very largely on
grass roughage and weeds which with
out them would be an entirely waste
product.

CAT MORE CORN.

1t would be we'll for their pocket
books and better for their general
health if the American people would
use more corn. We are slaves to edi-
bles made of refined -four of wheat.
That more corn is not used is not SO
much that the people do not like the
many delicate and savory dishes which
may be prepared from it as that so
few cooks know anything about the
preparation Of corn foods. There are
immense possibilities in a well cooked
johnnycake, in a loaf of injun bread.
in corn cakes, in corn mush eaten with
milk and cream, 'alf and 'alf; in corn
dodgers and pancakes, in an injun pud-
ding stuffed with fat raisins in fried
mush, samp and hominy. Better di-
gestion, better teeth, more vim and en-
ergy would come with more of corn
diet, and then, withal, it is ever so
much cheaper. Then, if one must
smoke, it is said that there is nothing
better than an old corncob pipe.

SCREENINGS.

A few years ago the grain buyers of
the northwest used to make a great
roar and dockage in grain bought be-
cause of the wild mustard which it
might contain. While they dock just as
heavily as formerly, they do not kick
for they are able to sell the mustard
seed for good deal more than the
wheat oats or flax, the mustard later
appearing at 40 cents pound on the
table of the man who raised it. The
screenings and weed seed which are
furnished by the mills of the north
west to feed and fatten hundreds of
thousands Of sheep every winter are
a pure gift by the farmer for this pur-
pose, the dockage demanded by the
mills making it cost them nothing. The
moral of this is that it does not pay
the farmer to raise weeds and mus
tard, though lots of them do, and, do
ing it, it would pay them to clean their
grain and feed the screenings to sheep
at home.

ALCOHOL FOR POWER.

The certainty that the gas engine is
to become more and more an important
factor in the transportation methods
of the future as well as in furnishing
a cheap and safe power for all pur-
poses suggests the need of providing
a cheap gas making material. This
can be found in alcohol which can be
produced in this country for 10 cents a
gallon, but which is now barred from
use by the revenue laws of the coun-
try. Some congressman can render
the country at large lasting service
by making an effort to secure such
legislation as will permit of the use Of
alcohol for light, heat and power pur-
poses, for it grinds the average citizen
to have to pay Is cents for gasoline
when oil is selling at 81 cents for fifty
two gallons. Nothing would break
down the power Of the worst monopoly
which the country fosters like substi-
tuting alcohol Cor coal oil products.

cry came back through the woods, and
even in her excitement she recognized
it as that Of her husband.
Now she lifted her rifle aud fired
several times in rapid succession,
knowing that at the reports of the fire
arm and her loud cries the cowardly
wolves would beat a retreat unless
there were a great number of them.
A minute more and she was beside her
husband, who was perched on a low
limb Of a tree After securing the
bear traps he had started homeward,
but in climbing over huge tree trunk
he had fallen and broken leg. For
an hour he had waited, firing his gun
every now and then, hoping that his
wife or other help would come. Then
he pulled himself slowly through the
snow, finally leaving his gun behind.
He was compelled to seek refuge in
tree to escape the wolves.
Slowly Mrs. Woodward supported
and half carried her husband home,
emptying her rife every few minutes
to give warning to the animals about
them. The next day Mrs Woodward
started on a twelve mile journey in
search of doctor For almost three
months after this adventure DR.. Wood
ward could do no hunting.

ten chunk of raw meat. When a wolf
smells meat very near the animal gives
different call from that when game
is long distance ahead, just as a
hound will change its cry when it
catches sight of it's prey. The call is
recognized by other wolves, and they
hasten to the chase or feast. In this
way the animals in the woods were
often attracted by the decoys.
During the first years hunting with
decoys DR.. Woodward and his wife
shot 1S9 wolves, whose scalps were
worth $500 During the following
year the hunters were constantly tray-
cling, remaining in one place only
few weeks at time
BY doing this they always had fresh
hunting grounds. During 1904 they
killed over 200 wolves, and the slim
bank account of five years ago has now
climbed to almost $4,000. The Wood
wards own a beautiful home in Sault
Ste. Marie. but this is rented because
the hunters prefer the freedom of the
woods. During her life in the woods
Mrs. Woodward has had some stirring
experiences Once she saved the life
of her husband. Two big bear traps
had been brought down to the log
home Of the WoOdwards in OntOnagon
county and with the first thaw they
were set A bear was captured, and
there came a morning when it was bit
ter cold, and along in the afternoon of
this day it began to snow.
I'D better pull in the traps or We'll
lose them under the snow" said Dr.
Woodward. That afternoon he started
for the place where they were set, which
was about half mile distant An hour
passed and the man did not return. By
the time it began to grow dark Mrs.
Woodward was somewhat frightened.
III another half hour it was dark.
and the woman in the cabin determin-
ed to go out in search of her husband
Filling her magazine rifle, she started.
The fact that she did not know the
exact location Of the traps added to
Mrs. Woodward's fears At times al
most running, she plunged through the
forest. Back at her log home one Of
the captive wolves set up mOurnful
howl, and moment later this was an
swered from the forest. After a time
Mrs. Woodward paused and fired her
rife several times into the air. There
was no response. Then she called out
her husbands name There was no an
swering cry.
Now, trembling with a fear that
something awful had happened, she
hurried on. She was certain that she
had travelled the distance that the
traps were from the cabin when Mrs.
Woodward paused again. But this
time she did not fire her gun. From
away off in the woods came a cry that
curdled her blood. 1t was the meat
call Of wolf.
There was not only one call, but
dozen, faint, but clear, sounding as
though the animals that made them
were almost half mile away. Not for
a moment did personal fear come
into Mrs. Woodward's heart She hur
ried on again, running until she was
almost exhausted, now feeling certain
that some accident had befallen her
husband and the wolves were either
following him or were tearing and
quarreling over his body. Then she
paused and lifted her voice in pierre
ing shout. To her intense joy faint

the village became the chief center of
interest in Michigan. Shortly after
those strikes Henry Baldwin came
from Pittsburg, bringing his daughter
with him. At almost the same time
young physician hurried from the
southern part Of the state to st.
Charles. The daughter of the mining
man and the young doctor met. With
In few months they were married
Then misfortune came to the newly
welded pair. DR.. Woodward was af-
fected with lung disease, which babe
fair to develop into quick consumption
He was advised to give up his practice
and bury himself in the heart of the
north woods, living and eating in q
tent or outdoors. Young Woodward
was poor man, but his wife stood by
him. He tried to persuade her to re-
main behind, but Mrs. Woodward ar
gued that whatever place was good
enough for a sick man, especially her
husband, was good enough for her
Less than fortnight after this the two
were in an abandoned lumbermans
shanty in the woods at some distance
from the Ontonagon pOstoffice Little
by little the mans lost strength return
ed to him. He took to hunting in the
woods, nearly always accompanied by
his wife, and one day he shot wolf.
A week later the scalp of that wolf
brought $15 from the state.
Then came into Mrs. Woodward's
head an idea. She began describing
to her husband how they might with
profit become professional wolf hunt
ers. The IDEA appealed to the man.
The two made a visit to Sault Ste.
Marie and there made preparations to
spend the winter in the woods. They
bought traps, provisions and their win
ter garments and had them sent to
point in Luce county sixty miles from
the 500. That was in the late summer
of 1899. During the ensuing autumn
the wolf hunters shot and in other
ways captured wolves enough to bring
them 5000. In the summer Of 1900
the two moved into Schoolcraft coun-
v
inn that had been built over a century
before. 1t was at this time chat the
incident occurred which started the
Woodward fortune. Dr. Woodward
captured two wolf whelps and was on
the point Of killing them when his
wife objected. "Give them to me for
pets" she said
The baby wolves grew rapidly. For
a time they ran about like little dogs,
but after awhile they were chained
outside. Then they began to practice
their bowls, and as they became older
they sent their voices through the for
est in answer to the calls of their IN
chained brethren.
One night Mrs. Woodward saw
several forms instead of two where the
wolves were fastened. AS one of these
scurried off into the darkness upon her
approach the young woman sent
charge of buckshot after it. The next
morning the animal, large wolf, was
found dead at the edge Of the woods.
From that day on the captive wolves
were used as decoys. Early in the
evening on moonlight nights the two
wolf hunters would take their captives
to some point in the woods and would
there fasten them, while they concealed
themselves near, usually on platform
built in q tree. Several feet above the
heads Of their decoys they would fas-

Burrows doesn't see how the expens-

economy would be unwise. then the
only thing to do is TO raise more rev
enue. How Is il to be done? The fol
lowing will make clear what Burrows
and doubtless the other republican
senators. think at this time: "A revi
sion of the tariff TO increase revenues
must mean the imposition OF duties on
articles now admitted free of duty or
a lowering of the rates on dutlable
goods. which would food our market
and throw many of our people out of
employment or lead to a reduction in
wages. Some changes might perhaps
be made advantageOusly; but would il
pay to disturb business for that pur-
pose? And could. for instance, the
iron and steel schedule be changed by
reducing rates without other schedules
having to meet a like fater"
In other words the senators will be
willing to raise more revenue through
any other method than by reducing a
single schedule of the monopoly foS-
tered Dingley tariff. That the tariff
shelters monopoly is tacitly admitted
by Burrows in his reference TO the
steel schedule. II maintains scores Of
other monopolies that mulct other

II would be hard TO find a schedule

poles cover practically the whole field
of industry in this country. Not only
do they this. but they sell their pro-

lawyers. Blake is now being tried on
a charge of insanity All of his legal
business has been taken out of his

under what appears to be hypnotic
spell which she is unable to throw off.
In her wavering between life and
death. she continually calls upon Blake
and this lends color to the theory that
both of them have become insane
through dual hypnotism.
Several weeks ago Blake's mind be
gan to weaken. and about the same
time the woman exhibited symptoms
of insanity Since then both of them
have grown steadily worse. The death
of the woman is expected. When that
occurs it will be seen whether Blake
will recover or pass away. 1t is one
of the most singular instances on rec
ord of the effects of hypnotism. At all
events. it il probable that Blake is
ruined for life.
