In the present condition of doubt re-
garding meat products, what we want
IS an opportunity to practice broad-gauge
vegetarianism, that is to say, vegetar4
ianism that will be practical and en-
joyable. Why does not some enterpris-
ing person start number of restaur-
ants where one will not be restricted to
Battle creek diet and sham coffee, but
get all sorts of buildings, pies, egg and
milk dishes, fruits, and salads, besides
all kinds of palatable and appetizing

eLEANNe ALFALFA SEED.

DOdder is yellow, threadltke rWln-
ing weed which is exceedingly trou-
blesome in alfalfa fields. Many
fields have been completely ruined by
it. It is not injurious to other crops,
except red clover, but once establish
ed In an alfalfa field it is impossible
to eradicate it without killing the al
falfa.
In most cases dodder gets into the
field through the use of impure altal-
Ia or clover seed Hence it is OF the
utmost Importance that no dodder-ln-
tested seed be sown. AS the greater
part of the alfalfa seed on the market
Is more or less infested with dodder IL
is a difficult matter to obtain dodder-
free seed Farmers have been advls-
ed to protect themselves by sendlnS
samples of seed to the experiment
station for examination. This is we'll.
The samples should contain at least
one ounce of seed taken from the bot
tom of the bag.
However this method of securing
pure seed Is not entirely safe and IS
often unsatisfactory 1t is sometimes
difficult to obtain representative sam
ples and seedsmen do not always NIL
the order with seed like the sample.
We believe that the safest and best
method is fer farmers to hand sift
their alfalfa seed. Dodder seeds be-
ing much smaller than alfalfa are cas-
ly removed by sitting through wire
sieve having twenty mesnes to the
inch. Unfortunately, ready made
sieves of this size are not readily OBJ
tainable at hardware stores, but a
cheap, serviceable sieve for the pur-
pose may be made by constructing
fight wooden frame about II inches
square by inches deep and lacking
over the bottom of it 20-mesh wire
screen made of No. 80 (English
gauge) round wire. Some hardware
dealers do not carry such screen In
took but they can easily procure it.
With such a sieve a man should be
able to clean from five to ten bushels
,ne half pound of seed should be put
in the sieve at a time and vigorously
shaken during one-half minute. In
order that the work may be uniformly
thorough the operator should use a
cup holding not over one,half pound,
thereby making it impossible to get
too large quantity at one time. A
watch should be kept constantly in
sight and no more than two patches
Of seed should be sifted in one min
Ute
Our experiments indicate that by
The above method almost any alfalfa
seed found on the market may be
made practically free from dodder and
safe to SOW Various other small
weed seeds, broken seeds and dirt, as
well as some of the smaller alfalfa
seeds, also pass through the sieve.
The quantity of the siftings varies
from one-half pound to one pound a
bushel.
Dealers in alfalfa seed should either
sift all the seed they sell or else pro-
vide their customers with the means
of doing the work for themselves.-F.

York Staten Bulletin.

HONOR AMONG THIEVES!
One Way of Getintg Out of an Ur

One Way of Getintg Out of an TN
promising Mining Venture.
Honor among thieves" a Wall
Street broker snorted contemptuously.
"Of course there isn't any. And 1t
doesn't matter whether one is talking
Of common pickpockets or these sharp
fellows that-get their money some
other way.
Let me tell you of an instance /
heard of this afternoon, There are two
men who, while they are not partners,
have Joint control of a large business.
One Of them got mixed up in a min
ing company out West somewhere.
HE put $4,000 into 1t before he found
out that it was no good. 1t nearly
made him sick abed when he knew the
truth, but he didn't say word to his
business associates.
ION the contrary, he suddenly be-
came absolutely nom cummunicative
about his mining venture; so much so
that his friend suspected that some
thing was up. Pretty soon Jones, wen
call him, that the owner of the mining
stock, begain to ask the stenographer
to stay after hours so as to dictate
letters to the managers of the mines.
These letters he always insisted upon
mailing himself after they had been
copied in private letter book which
he kept locked in his. own particular
safe.
Brown his associate, noticed all this,
and tried to pump the stenographer,
but it did no good. One night he had to
return to his office for some paper that
he had forgotten, and, CHANGING around
saw Jones's private letter book lying
on the table.
1.-THE temptation was too much for
him and he took a hurled glance
through it. He saw numberless al
fusion to the discovery Of bonanza, un-
told millions in sight, got to keep it
quiet until everything was arranged
and all the stock corralled, etc.
That was enough for Brown. He
never said a word to Jones the next
day, but quietly, very quietly went to
work and started to buy all the stock
in Jones mine that he could get hold
OF. He found that one curb broker was
1.-THE only one that seemed to know any
