The Dutch housewives of old New
York, ever noted for their housekeep-
ing qualities, created the agitation
which resulted in the appointment of
the first public street cleaner in New
York in 1862. He was Laurens Van
der Speigle, a baker. His daughter
married Rip Van Dam. who afterward
became governor of New York, an IL

day.

Farmers in different parts of the
state are complaining of a fly which is
tormenting the horses. The fly is Pc
culiar specie and nothing like it has ever
been seen before. 1t gets up in the
horses ears, causing the ears to bleed
profusely. The pest made it's appear
ance for the first time about week ago
and since that time the flies have been
growing more numerous each day.
Horses are extremely uneasy and there
is danger of them running away when
left standing on the street or in the
fields. The fly is very small, a great deal
smaller than the common house fly, and
is of considerable length. Old residents
say there was never anything like it IN
this country before and they know of no
remedy to apply to protect the horse.

A French artist had been staying
mt Lake Como, and was driving an au'

ear struck a large stone, swerved
violently against the parapet protect
ing the mountain road from a preci
pice, and, breaking through the ma
sonry, went clear over the edge.
Luckily, the branches Of a tree grow

ing the four men from certain death.
After being 'treed" for some hours,

Whv They Buried Her.

An incident that happened long
enough ago to make its telling harm
less began with the meeting OF two
old CIncinnatians on the street. Lock
ing arms, so uns the tale, they stroll
led slowly along, discussing various
topics. Personal ones were touched
upon at last, and after exchanging
family s%olicitudes for several mo-
ments, the Judge asked the Major:
And dear, old Mrs., your aunt?
She must be rather feeble now. Tell
me, how is she?"
Buried her yesterday" said the
Major.
Buried her? Dear me, dear me!
Is the good old lady dead?"
Yes, that's why we buried her"

How to Sell Pigs or Cows.

There are lots of people in the coun-
try who want to buy pigs or ows
There are also plenty of farmers who
have such. things to sell. They put out
the Jews "by word of mouth that
they have COWS or pigs for sale. The
chances are, however, that some Of
their nearest neighbors will not hear
about it. Right here is where the
value of printers ink would come in.
For fifteen or twenty cents an adver-
tisement can be- inserted in the bust
ness local column to let. the public
know what you have for sale. The
rural mail carriers deliver the papers
quickly to the patrons and in this way
the news gets out without delay. It
brings buyers and seller together and a
sale is made. Without the advertising
the cow may stay with you a month
before a buyer is found, and she will
eat enough every day to pay for a
small advertisement. Can't you see
that it's good business economy to use
printers ink to let the public know
what you have for sale? Now, sup
pose you try it and watch the result

Chorus Girls MAYS.

The stage and it's environments as
n factor upon the morals and deport-
ment OF the girls who compose the
chorus has been argued pro and con
for ages, but no solution is fully &C.
eepted.
Many persons depict the life of the
chorus girl as n of danger, studded
with innumerable pitfalls. An equal
number of opinions uphold stage life
by saying there are good and bad
people in every employment, and that
stage girls are usually deserving OF
greater consideration than is accord
cd them.
One thing in which nearly all Choir
US girls are alike is Indifference to
their word. These girls care little for
Their promises. To the average Choir
Us girl a signed contract is like a
1iece Of waste paper, unless she real
~ wants the engagement. In that
ease she will hold on to the contract
like grim death.
Managers are busy men, but they

compel the needless young lady to
respect the paper she has signed

Soil. Especially Suited to Alfalfa.


As with all other crops alfalfa will
succeed in some soils better than In
others. Well-drained alluvial soils,
such as some of our creek bottoms
that are not subject to overflow n
are well above water, which will per-
init the long roots of alfalfa to go down
into it and get nOurishment from far
below the reach Of the roots of ordinary
crops, are ideal soils for alfalfa. while
soils with "hard PAM will not usually
grow it successfully. These alluvial
soils must be elevated, we'll drained,
and free from acidity. Of course a
great deal Of alfalfa is grown on soils
that do not belong to the alluvial class.
Each grower can experiment and n
out for himself the a~daptability OF
his own soil to the crop.
Remember these things: Alfalfa can
be grown either in spring or in the
fall. I consider fall sowing preferable
in the cotton belt proper, and spring
sowing best in the more elevated and
cooler sections. For fall sowing he
seed should be in by the 18th of Sep
TENDER, and in many instances earlier
seeding would be better. For spring
sowing the land would be better if
prepared in the fall or early winter
and the seed put in the first of April.
The land must be prepared thorough
ly by deep blowing, liberal manuring
and lining. Of course, the land must
be we'll drained, for alfalfa cannot
stand q wet soil. 1t is a waste of time
and money to sow alfalfa in poor land,
or on land not we'll prepared. If one
succeeds the crop will we'll repay for
all the time and money spent in pre-
pairing the land.
For experimental purposes an acre
is enough for any one to begin with.
If one can grow an acre successfully
he "a then enlarge as circumstances
permits. If a person does not wish
to risk an acre, a half acre, or a quar-
ter of an acre will suffice.
l prefer heavy seeding, not less than
thirty pounds per acre, though many
successful growers contend that twen-
ty pounds of seed are sufficient. The
seed should not be covered too deep.
From a half inch to an inch is plenty
deep to covert. 3. Parker, in the
Progressive Farmer.

A Good Example.

The Warrenton Record tells how the
Warren County farmers in session a
few days ago, offered prizes for GER
tain products in Warren County as fol-
lows: "For the largest yield of corn
from one acre of highland, SO, and
l~ow-grounds. $40. For the largest yield
of cotton from one acre of land, $40.
For the largest yield of tobacco from
n acre Of land. $40. Mr.. H. T. Macon
offered a prize of $40 for the largest
yield of hay from one acre of land in
1905. Mr. John Graham added So to
this offer and the association agreed
to give $40, making in all for the best
acre Of hay, $50. Millet and cowpeas
are not to be counted in the contest"

r permitting it to appear in their
tweed trotteurs and motor coats, and
their afternoon and dinner gowns of
light, silken fabrics, are as often of
the new mauve-blue and the warm
American Beauty shades a soft white
or the always charming pastel tints.
The semi-tailored gowns, man
made though they are, emphasize
feminine curves In a marked degree,
and show the most graceful effects.
The bolero is seen on a great many
of these gowns, the shorter mes hav-
ing a ceinture attached that is en-
tirely new.
The sleeves as a rule, are pufs to
the elbow, or halfway to the wrist.
They are finished with a velvet-inlaid
cuff that flares considerably.
Among the little accessories that
the Summer girl is wearing, are
bracelets of black velvet held with
jeweled buckles, and wisps of tulle
twisted about the upper arm and the
wrist, tied in fluffy bows. Arm OF
