The secret of establishing a stand of
alfalfa is told by Prot. A. M. Ten Eyck,
of Manhattan, Kansas, in special ar.
ticle in recent number of the Farmer
and Stockman. 1t is good seed, prop.
er seed bed and land adapted for grow.
ing the crop. Each of these points is
covered by Prof. Ten Eyck so that the
merest novice could hardly fail to grasp
it. Good seed has a bright, clear color
and is we'll filled. 1t is tree from weeds,
especially dOdder. 1t should test 80
per cent of termination, methods of
tests being given. 1t is only necessary
to so" twelve to fifteen pounds to the
acre, and some get good stand with
less. 1t should be sown with grass
seeder attachment to the drill, or broad
cast. The seed should not be covered
deeper than one or two inches. The
ground should be loose down to that
depth and reasonably firm below. It is
safest to sow without a nurse crop.
Those and other points are ably pre-.
sented. Every reader of the Index in
terested in this great and growing sub
Ject should read the Ten Eyck article
and others appearing in the Farmer and
Stockman. We are glad to take sub
Scriptions at this office.

High School Commencement.

There was hardly standing room Tor
the Grove tt at gathered in the Cen
trail Opera house, last Thursday night
to crest the sweet girl graduates and
fine look ing boys, the pride OF the
present aud hope Of the future who
composed the graduating class OF
Ioo4-5 OF the Martinsburg High
School. Never before has there been
a more brilliant display. on similar
occasions, or a greeter degree OF pro-
ficiency exhibited, than on Thurs
day night. The stage which was
beautifully decorated in the class
colors, navy blue and white, and
flowers and potted plants.also with the
class motto mo vic tory without la
bor", stretched across. was occupied
by the class, the Board Of Education,
School officers, and ministers, pre-
sented a beautiful scene, together
with the handsome stage settings.
The program given below was
rendered with so much eclat and per-
fiction, that it would be we'll nigh
impossible to discriminate in the mat
ter of excellence. The graduates were
the recipients of many pretty and
valuable tokens of admiration and
love by their friends. The entire per
Torrance reflected the greatest credit
upon the principal and instructors, OF
the High school, as we'll as the teach
ers in the several ward schools where
the foundation was laid. The music
tor the occasion was furnished by
Thompson S orchestra, and it gees
without saying that it was excel
lent.

A MEDICINE THAT CURES

Can we dispute

make you irritable; you can't sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen
erative organs in women is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected. so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders. Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
at the least provocation. All this points
to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. shotwell, of 1o3 Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, n. Y, writes:
vi cannot express the wonderful relief
have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. | suffered for
a long time with nervous prostration, back
ache, headache loss of appetite / could
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every night.
~ had three doctors and got no better, and
life was a burden. | was advised to try
Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
i" am a well woman, my nervousness is all

VIII not the volumes of letters from
womaARade strong by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of its virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick and weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
wnen you can be as easily cured as
other women.

Assistant District Attorney Town
send leaves shortly for Sheyenne,
Wyo., where he will argue before the
United States circuit court of appeals
the matter Of the Western Express
company, operating on the 500 line,
in their litigation with the govern
ment over the matter OF liquor IL
censes. 1t seems it had been the prac-
tice for the express company to re-
ceive shipments OF liquor from points
outside the state and 1t is claimed that
the local express agent In this state
had authority to deliver the same 10
any person who would pay the charges
for the goods and transportation. The
government contended that this made
the local agent In North Dakota a
dealer in liquor and In consequence
they became liable for the internal
revenue tax. This contention was sus-
tained by Judge Amidon, at Fargo,
and he gave judgment for something
over $4,000. The express company
has appealed from this judgment. The
result Of the argument In the appellate
tribunal win be watched with interest.
