Curing Alfalfa.

In curing alfalfa, it is best to put
h in small cocks, which should be
urned several times. Two men
|should work together at this, plac-
Ing their forks under one side and
lifting together; it is thus an easy
and quick job. A writer in the
Rural New Yorker says the main
points to observe in the curing of
alfalfa hay are first. to handle it
while it is in wilted state before
the leaves are thoroughly dry, to
prevent the loss of leaves. If it is
put up when warm, and allowed to
stand in the cock for "a hours. it
will continue the curing process
without becoming so dry as to lose
on the subsequent handling after
it is thrown out.-Indiana Farmer.

Assessors Are Wanted.

A letter was sent to each board
of county commissioners in the
state recently by the state board of
equalization asking each county to
send its assessor to the annual
meeting of the board next month.
1t is usual for one or more county
officers from each county to attend
the meeting, but the board this
year desires particularly to hear
from assessors. Calendar hearings
will not be prepared, but it is an
nounced that the hearings this
year will be more extensive than
usual. For the first time the mem
bers of the tax commission will sit
in an advisory capacity with the
state board Of equalization, which
is composed of the auditor, land
commissioner and secretary of state.
1t is up to the Benton county com

The Army Worm.

Fruit men have been troubled
this season by worms climbing the
young trees and eating the buds
and so killing the trees. Some spec
linen worms were sent to the Ayr
cultural College and were pro-
nounced climping cut worms. 1t
is barely possible that this is not
the proper name for them. The
army worm is reported to be in the
neighborhood of Portland. Hot
weather usually destroys cut worms
but the kind we have here seems
to thrive on weather that many
people are inclined tn call hot. 1t
may be the army worm.

Civic Pride

Civic pride is the sentiment that
causes the home builder to strive
to create favorable impression
upon the stranger passing his door,
by keeping his premises neat and
tidy-a green lawn, a neat fence or
walk, we'll built and neat buildings,
etc. 1t is also responsible for the
appearance of the village. If the
people residing in a certain section
of the village all have pride in keep
ing neat premises theirs will be the
beauty spot of the city. We all like
to keep our homes as neat as our
circumstances will permit. What
wezcan should be done on a larger
scale. The public streets should be
well kept Trees should be set out,
weeds kept down, and lawn grass
sown and allowed to grow at the
sides, driveways graveled, and so
OH as opportunities presents them
selves.
A great deal can in this way be
done for the general welfare of the
whole community and everyone is
benefited thereby.-Cooperstown

TO THE SETTLERS OF THE
 IMPERIAL VALLEY

The new management of the Callfor- mia Development Company is actively engaged in getting at full and complete understanding of the condition of the company, including it's obligations and liabilities. To that end it is necessary that the company should ascertain and determine what liabilities, if any, exist against it for or on account of damages sustained by reason of claimed failures to deliver water in the year 1903-04.
 Further, it is the desire of the com pany that all disputes between it and the settlers should be settled amicably, be- lieving that harmony in the Valley should be preserved, if possible. In order to determine this question of lia- bility, the management has caused to be prepared forms of affidavits to be filled out by claimants and upon being filled out, full investigation of claims that seem to be just will be made. These affidavits, for convenience will be in the form of questions and answers. The blanks therefor have been printed and can be made at the office of k. D. Me- Pherrin, attorney for the company at Imperial, or Paul H. McPherrin, at the company's offices, Stowell Block, Los Angeles, Cal Both of these gentlemen are notaries public and have been fully instructed as to what the company de-

The majority Of the commission are

Therefore, the firing was unjustiied."
