Al.ike or Red Glover, which?

A Northern reader asks the Prairie
hay, alsike or red clover, TO which the
reply was made that very much de-
pends upon circumstances. For SOW
ing alone the red clover has distinc-
tive advantage over the alsike in that
the latter falls down much worse than
the red clover and is difficult to mar
vest. III timothy or some other stiff
strawed plant is to be sown with the
clover this objection will be removed.
The alsike Is better adapted to mix
ing with timothy on account of rlpen-
ing nearer with the timothy than does
the medium red clover Alsike is also
better adapted to low lands that are
inclined to be a little wet, as it will
stand much more adversely in this dl-
yection. This is especially true of
Iands that are subject to overflow.
Either clover will add nitrogen to the
soil II the proper germs are present.
The red clover having larger root
may have superior physical effect
upon some soils, although we have no
data at hand either to prove or TO dis
prove this point.

Dainties For Swine.

A year ago it was noticed that the
swine were roofing too deep into the
soil in their yards and there WAS dan
ger OF wallows, so a space near the
orchard was fenced off where the swine
might have some grass and shade
while their permanent home was re-
paired. Our ten-year-od boy got in
the habit of filling small peach basket
with the green tops from the early
vegetables and with pea pods and feed
ing these TO the pigs daily. although
they had grass in plenty. One day he
got a lot of broken pieces of sod IN the
basket, and was quite amazed to sec
vegetable tops TO eat the small bits of
sod, earth and all.
The swine yard was repaired by TAX
ing out foot of soil and filling in the
space with gravel, grading all away
from the centre to n gutter OH the out
side Of the fence. Then the hogs were
put back in their yarG and the rest of
the summer had basketful of broken
sod at least once n week In addition
TO grass cut for them and the vegetable
tops. Never was there a more healthy
lot of animals than these and never be-
fore had our sows gone through the
pig-dropping season in better shape.

western poultryman writes of dip
ping hens as follows: Make very
strong suds with any good soap. Keep
the suds warm enough to be comfort;-
BILE to bear the hands in. One person
takes the chicken by the feet in one
hand and the neck in the other hand
and immerses Mr.. or Mrs. Chicken. as
the case may be, back downwards into
the suds, then moves them back and
suds, while an assistant rubs the pa
tent and raises the feathers to get the
suds to every part of the body.
Then raise the feathers on the head
and neck and wash with the suds;
squeeze out as much Of the suds as you
can from the feathers. II the weather
is quite warm and sunny, let the chick
ems go, but If the least bit windy or
chilly, put them in warm place to
dry. Two or three minutes of work
with each fowl in the suds should do
the business. But remember success
depends upon thoroughness, so be sure
the work is well done.

HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason is obvious.
This is serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is soicitous for the
future of his dear ones. Often the
heart trouble is caused by an unex-
pected thing, and can be corrected II

man in Colorado writes:

A Pound Of Cotton 1000 Miles Long.

"Sea Island cotton is the best kind"
said Southerner. 1T is finer and
silkier than any other cotton in the
world. A pound of it can be spun into
4110 miles of thread.
For an experiment once in the Eng
llsh town of Manchester a skilled spin
ner spun a pound of Sea Island cotton
into single thread 1000 miles long.
Ihen for another experiment he took
another pound of cotton and spun it
into as many hanks as he could get.
He got 10000 hanks in all, and the
yarn In each of them measured $40
yards. Thus out of pound Of cotton
4TI0 miles Of yarn were produced.
This yarn, though, was too fine to be
of any practical utility.

perb advertisement for the cotton OF

The whale and the Cable.

On November G. 1904, the cable which
connects Valdez and Sitka, Alaska,
broke down. On testing it, the break
was located about ten miles from Sitka.
When the cable was hauled up, II was
found to have captured a whale fifty
feet long. a loop of the cable passed
round the lower jaw and held II fast.
The strands Of the cable were much
torn and twisted, and there We're sew

ably the whale, swimming with open

Tavern Siors Buried.

Whenever an inn on the Cumber.
land estates of the Howards, earls of
Carlisle, loses its license, the inn sign
is buried. The obsequies take place
at dead of night, in the presence of as
many Of the old customers as can be
collected. AS a sort of libation a bot.
tie OF spirits, generally whisky, is
poured into the grave, and an appro-
pirate burial service repeated. The
temperance advocates In the crowd
cheer Justify, and the droughty ele-
ment Leccme mock mourners, or Jest

strains Of a concertina or some simi.
lar instrument usually help to enliven
the proceedings. The last inn to have
its sign buried was the Moor Cock,

Marvellous Cure by Cuticura

AT four months old my baby's face and
body were so covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she looked
like. No child ever had worse case. Her
face was being eaten away, and even her
finger nails fell off. 1t itched so she could
not sleep, and for many weary nights we
could get no rest. At last we got Cuticura

her face or body.-Mrs Mary Sanders, 700
