growth of the first crop, and the
not average over a foot i'll height al
the time the first cutting is usually
made. A close examination shows
that a ajorty OF these stems arc
discolored, in fact nearly black, for
a ortion OF their length, and dross
Of dried juice will be found on many
of them. Such stems are also very
brittle, and easily broken. The dis
ease ap. p..arently does not kill many
plants the first year. but in time so
many OF the llants die that the fields
are useless.
The disease evidently runs its
course for the season with the first
crop and those plants which have
sufficient vigor make satisfactor:.
growth for the second and third cuts

is seen during the remainder of the
season. But the following spring
renewal of the outbreak may be ex
pected.
The plants begin to die after the
blight has been abo,.ndant for more
than one season as the decay appears
in the crowns of the plants and may
involve the tap root. The crown
buds are thus destroyed or the nu.
triton may be so interfered with that
the plants die.
Almost nothing is known OF this
blight as yet, consequently remedial
measures cannot be discussed except
that it seems to be advantageous to
cut the first crop early and to delay
the date of the first irrigation until
after this time if possible.
The horticultural section of the ex-
pertinent station solicits correspond
ence with any one who has reason to
believe that this disease is present in
his fields. Means have been devised
for combating most plant diseases
and we believe that this one will be
no exception. However, it is import
ant that its nature be understood at
the earliest POSSIBLE moment and one
of the important means to this end
is thru the experience Of growers. 1t
is for this reason that we invite CO.

Will Prevent Fraud.

The use of voting machines, which
will be made legal bv the recently
adopted constitutional amendment
will have tendency to eliminate
fraud and errors in counting, SAYS
the Boulder Camera. The machines
are automatic and cannot err. They
make speedy computation and knock
out entirely the chance for election
thieves to get in their miserable work
during the days and nights when
close contests are undetermined by
reason of allure to hear from this
or that precinct An hour after the
polls close the result is known. The
figures stay set in the machine and
cannot be jugglcd The cost will
be heavy in the first instance, but
necessity for printing ballots will be
removed. and the cost of these every
election would in few years be
enough to pay for the machines.

Shopping.

Shopping is form of cruelty in
dulged by married ladies toward their
husbands. 1t is incipient in young
girls, reaches an active condition in
brides, and arrives at its most viru-
lent stage between the tenth and the
twenty fifth year OF married life.
A small. delicate. Slight, nervous,
sensitive woman. who would faint
away at an empty mouse trap, will
go thru the shopping district in from
two to seven hours, and come out
refreshed and sustained by an unfal-
tcring trust, il her husbands credit
is good, while that gentleman at the
end OF orty-hve minutes has to be
carried home on a stretcher. Some
women are born shoppers, others
achieve it, but not one of them has it
thrust upon her.
Shopping is extensively practised
on week days, beginning on Monday
with rush and ending on Saturday
in time for the opera. 1t promotes in
dustry. Without it married men
would have time to rest.-The Janu-
AIRY Delineator.

A New Alfalfa Disease.
By w. Paddock.

Up to the presnt time the alfalfa
plant in Colorado has been practi.
cally free from diseases. 1t is trus
that leaf-spot is always present and
in damp situations mildew often
makes its appearance. The forme,
disease causes considerable amount
of damage in the aggregate but after
all its presence is not usually consid-
cred. But recently bacterial blight
has appeared and in some localitie
it has been destructive. The purpose
of this bulletin is to call attention to
this newer disease and thru this
means get in touch with infected To-
calities.
Complaints have come to the Ft.
Collins experiment station from one
locality for the past three seasons OF
the dying out OF alfalfa plants in the
spring. The growers could scarcely
believe that the trouble was due to
winter injury since it had not oc.
Cured before under similar condi-
tons. and since dead plants were
found alike on high and on low land.
and on wet and on dry situations.
The presence of numbers of small
maggots in the dccaying crowns was
the most porular theory advanced to
account for the dead plants. On vis-
iting the fields early in the spring it
was evident that winter injury could
not have caused the damage and that
the maggots were only present be-
cause Of the decay and not as cause
of it.
In June of the present year. we had
the first opportunity of inspecting
the fields during the growing season.
The cause of the injury was now ap-
parent as the numerous blackened
stems from which thick juice was
oozing plainly indicated bacterial
blight, and subsequent examination
has shown this to be the probable
cause OF the trouble.
The first evidence of the disease to
be noticed by the casual observer is
short, weak and light colored

Freedom That is Bondage.

The anarchist proclaims that he is
free; that he acknowledges no ruler,
feels no obligation 20 obey any law.
But he is, as soon as recognized.
driven from one country to another,
imprisoned, hanged, thought of ev-
erywhere as a menace to society. The
man who respects the chosen rulers
and obeys the laws of his country
goes about freely and unafraid, pro-
tected by the power that Furnishes tho
eace-disturber and law-breaker, and
is treated as a valued part of his
home nation.
We are all tragically familiar with
men of all ages who decline to give
up their freedom to drink when and
what they please. Our prisons and
insane asylums swarm with them
Their boasted liberty is the direst
bondage which holds them from sue
cess. How many parents, relatives,
friends, use their freedom to bind
themselves! We have all been in
homes where the mother utilized her
freedom to scold. upbraid and irri-
tate, and thus to estrange her hus.
band and children, and who lamented
bitterly that she was neglected and
unappreciated. How often is friend
ship strangled by the freedom that
allows one to dictate and domineer
and demand-the freedom that
chooses to be bound to arrogance and
selfshness rather than by gentleness
and generosity-Lida A. Churchill is

When the Family Interferes.

Many good matrimonial ship,
with its sunlit cargo of happiness
and hope, has been wrecked on the
rocks of family interference. 1t is
in the first years OF married life that
foreign interference is most trying
and dangerous and it is this very time
when ii is most conspicuous and
dominant. These early years are
times OF gradual adjustment to new
conditions, the formative period Of
harmonizing with a new environment,
of growth in mutual understanding,
perhaps Of meeting disappointment
and OF rising superior to it, or Of
sadly revising golden dreams and un-
realized ideals, OF taking trial bal
ances on the ledger of happiness, Of
awakening to the wisdom of mutual
concessions, of learning new lessons
in the school of experience that can
never be learned vicariously. These
are the problems of two that must be
solved by them; they need only kind
ness, sympathy, generous coopera-
ton.
There is no need for the family to
remind the wife that the husband is
not eighteen karat, that he will new
er make fortune, that they fear
greatly and let their fear expand into
long catalog of detail that fades
away into the dim perspective Of the
unspoken. After the goods are
bought and sent home and cannot be
returned, what is the use of discour-
aging the purchaser? Why not point
out some good points, something
helpful and inspiring?
Sometimes the interference of fam
lilies becomes even more active and
aggressive than this, and because OF
a fancied grievance or genuine op-
position it actually comes between
husband and wife and by harsh crit
icism or condemnation seeks to plant
the seeds OF discord between them.
Here instant loyalty of the one to
the other should assert itself and re-
fuse to listen to the voice; in an in
stinctivc spirit Of protection there
should be calm dignifed protest
of what il unessential should never
be spoken and if of serious import
should be expressed only in the pres
ence of the one thus charged with
what he or she should have the op-
portunity OF denying or disproving
before the weeds of suspicion have
time to root themselves in the heart
of the other-William George Jor-
dan in the January Delineator.

New York, April 1O.-A counter
proposition was made by the Anthra-
cite operators at a meeting today with

ton rejects the arbitration plan offer
ed by John Mitchell, president of the

the following:
"The Anthracite coal commission Of
1903 be requested to reconvene and
consider whether circumstances have
arisen since April 1 Of that year, which
justify a modification of its award of
that date in respect only to the fol-
lowing subjects: First, wages; sec

Naples, April l0.-When morning
broke the outlook was promising for
smelioration of the conditions conse-
Quent upon the activity Of Mount Vesu-
vius The hopelessness Of the popu-
lace. however. was short lived and the
neapoliJians were plunged into a con-
dition bordering upon frenzy by the
collapse Of the Mount Oliveto market,
which covered a plot Of ground six
hundred feet square, the structure fall
ing upon two hundred or more per
sons. many Of whom were crushed and
uangled bevOnd recognition.
Scenes in the vicinity of the ruins
were agonizing, relatives Of the vic
tins clamoring to be allowed to go 10
Their dead or dying. Only firm inter
rention on the part Of the police and
Oar6ineers kept back the crowds.
While early in the day the volcanic
activity of Mount Vesuvius appeared
to have diminished, as night approach
ed the prospect Of immediate relief
faded and the fate of the villages and
towns grouped around the volcano
seemed more hopeless. Instead of
e0~A easing tAC Ao-A OL sdAQ ana dSuCS
emitted from the crater increased.
Even with the sun shining high in the
Heavens the light was dim and yell
low, in the midst of which the few
people who remained in the stricken
towns, their clothing, hair and boards
covered with ashes, moved about in
The awful stiffness Of desolation like
ghosts.
The flow Of lava, which had almost
ceased during the night, recommended
early today and the fall of volcanic
ashes in the Vesuvian communes is
enormous. 1t is feared the weight Of
the ashes on roofs will cause the col
lapse Of many more buildings. both
here and in the towns and villages
nearer the volcano.
