NOTES FROM CAMP THREE
Received too late last week

While Phil Ryan was visiting the camps last Saturday his mansion in the valley was broken into and robbed. When he returned he had nothing This is the second time this summer. The first visitor only took a bite to eat and such clothes as would fit him. The second must have had a wagon, for he took everything but the boiler. Phil swears vengeance, and the next will be captured if he has to buy another dozen bear traps.
 August Beckstrom suffered pain full accident last Wednesday,. He was blocking log, which rolled back, taking off his thumb nail as if by surgical operation. He is now in the hospital.
 Harry Schlee and Frank Ortner paid the city a visit last Saturday.
 Several of the boys have been on the sick list this week. Two of the cases were so serious that Dr. Mel ick was called last Wednesday. He came out on his "chug- cycle" and from the time he made the coyote special was left in his dust. We are anxiously awaiting Fore man Lindstrom's ascension on the new broncho.

Wit of Great Preacher.

OF all the brilliant preachers Of
modern times no one shone more re-
splendently in conversation than the
eloquent Baptist minister. Robert
Hall. For all whining pietists, for all
oracl!ar utterers of commonplace, all
anglers for praise. in the pulpit or
elsewhere. the great preacher had an
ineffable contempt. One day a sickly,
querulous old man belonging to his
cOngresatio met him in the street
and said: "Ah. Mr. Hall, you have
never-been to see me, sir Twelve
--Iye been very i'll; I've been-at
deaths door, Mr.. Hail." "Why didn't
you step in?" was the quick response.
When asked for advice by young
man who desired to enter the minis
try, and who gave as a reason that he
wished not to bury his talents in q
napkin, Hall replied: "Then put them
in pocket handkerchief, sir; that
will be large enough"

Disposal Of Corn Stalks.

A discussion recently arose among
the officers and statesmen of the David
Bradley Mfg. Co., as regards the dis
position of corn stalks after the re.
moval Of the corn and fodder--some
being under the impression that a ma
jority of the farmers burn their stalks,
while others claimed they were plow-
ed under. 1t was finally decided that
an inquiry be sent to the Agricultural
Department of the Illinois University
at Urbana, III. We give below the
substance of the reply to the inquiry,
which will be of great interest to our
readers, especially those interested in
farming:
David Bradley Mfg. Co., Bradley, ILL.,.
Gentlemen-Your letter Of June
18th regarding burning Of corn stalks
was referred to me. A reply has been
delayed because of my absence from
the university. would say that as
a general rule it is better to pillow corn
stalks under than to burn them. A
ton OF corn stalks contains about 16
pounds Of nitrogen, which is lost in
burning, and, Of course, as the corn
decays in the ground they form a
large amount of humus, which is al
ready becoming more or less deficient
in most Illinois land. There are times
however, when it is probably better
to sacrifice this nitrogen and humus
and burn the stalks. Thus, ii one
has heavy growth of stalks on his
land which must be plowed late in
the spring in a dry season. it would
undoubtedly be better to burn the
stalks, because this amount OF decay
ed coarse organic matter would inter-
fere with the capillary action and
cause the land to dry out and prob
ably produce greater injury to the
crop that season than would ever be
counterbalanced Ey subsequent bene-
fits due to the turning under of the
stalks. If, however. the stalks can
be plowed under late in the fall or
early spring or at any time in the
spring, if the season is fairly wet, and
the stalks are we'll broken or cut into
small pieces so that the ground settles
down and capillary action is not in
terfered with, then l would certainly
prefer blowing the stalks under. In
general farm practice when the humus
content OF soils becomes somewhat
reduced, the spractice of burning
stalks grows less and finally practie-
ally ceases. Cyril G. Hopkins,
Professor Of Soil Fertility.

Growing Alfalfa.

When | first commenced to
grow alfalfa it was a hard
matter for me to get good stand.
tried to grow it on land underlaid by
an impermeable subsoil, and soon
found that this would not pay. Alfalfa
does better in fields not to be passed
through. and to have good success in
cultivating it, the subsoil must be in
a first-class condition. | also find that
the fields should be we'll drained. as
it will not stand flooding oil stagnant
water. 1t is better, l think. not to
pasture alfalfa, as the yield OF hay or
green fodder will lie larger than that
which has been pastured.
When an alfalfa field is pasture6
the stock tramps down the soil.
which binders its growth. And find
that when the stems are grazed the
stalks die down. and Of course the
shoots come from the upper part OF
the root, and this is one reason that
do not believe alfalfa fields should
be pastured. The stems of many
other forage plants when cut branch
that grow up and take the place of
the old stems, but with alfalfa the
vitality OF the roots may be much i'm
paired it the young stems are yraZed
as fast as they appear, because the
new growth comes from the roots.
Alfalfa requires clean ground, ana
should not be sown on weedy fields,
as weeds can easily crowd it out. AL.
falfa should be cut for hay when the
flowers appear, for il we wait many
days after. the stems become tough.
The yield of hay is not so large. blt
the quality is great deal better tiian
