THE FARM AND RANGE
Raising Alfalfa Seed.

Alfalfa seed Is almost entirely grown
from the second or third crop. us tho
weather at the time the first crop
would be ripe In often SO wet that tho
seed might spoil. After many years
OF experience we have come to the con-
clusion that the first crop does not pro-
auce as good r stand OF well'iilled seed
pods as u later one. probably because
the insect that fertilize the blossoms
are not out yet In sufficient numbers
to do the work. Another advantage Ia
that the second crop always ripens
more evenly than the first. when
grown for seed alfalfa should be cut M
soon AZ the pods turn brown. This Ii
usually done with moving machine.
but OF late considerable Of Il is bound
up with binders and handled as small
grain. II Is believed that enough more
of the seed Is saved by this method to
pay for the twine and II is much easier
to handle the crop when bound In bun
dies. Alfalfa seed should not be
stacked u l; can possibly be threshed
direct from the field. Ordinary
thrcshinE machines. provided with fna
screens will do good work II not fed

TURKS RULE
A PERPETUAL
MENACE

London, March 2o--The house OF lords

He said that the Austro- Russian reform

Foreign Secretary Lansdowne said some
progress had bean made but he realized
tsdt action was urgent on the grounds ot
humanity and because the existing condl-
IL ms menaced the peace OF Europe,
Great Britain, however. had less respon-
q iity than any other Power, and how
sVe~ desirable, II was impossible tor
Great Britain 10 send a feet 10 Constsn-

'rhe foreign secretary also said the Brit
ish government approved the latest
scheme for financial reform. The Turkish
RoN sriment proposed 10 raise the custom
dues, and Great Britain would not accept
q proposition so injurious until convinced
cf It's necessity.
LORD Lansdowne further remarked that

VIXEN all Powers had the right TO make
themselves heard.
The finances OF Macedonia must be so

administration OF Macedonia. guarantees
must be provided that not any Of the
revenues earmarked for the special bene-

purposes. and finally the finances of
Macedonia must be placed under interna-
