We think that one reason why ex-
perimental plats of alfalfa in the states
east of the Missouri river so often fail,

the soil where sown is deficient in nj
trogen and the plant, being a gross
user of nitrogen, perishes for lack of

take care of itself by getting its own
nitrogen appropriating machinery into
operation, it would become an easy
matter to secure field of this valua-
BILE legume. Assuming this to be a
fact, as we believe it to be, it logically
follows that an ample supply of nitro
gen should be furnished the plant
when young, which can best be done
by thoroughly enrlching the soil with
liberal supply of barnyard manure
1t will pay any man who contemplates
sowing alfalfa to heed this suggestion

Cities which are located in the vicin-
ity of mines of soft coal, where this
fuel, because of its cheapness, excludes
others, and which are usually befouled
with the omnipresent SCOT and smoke,
should devise some method of generat-

quired by the city out at the mines and
transmit the same in the form of cleo
tricity and gas for use. 1t would seem
as though modern engineering skill was
equal to the solution of this problem.

Through much of the west the feed.
ing of beef for market has been at
tempted quite generally the past four
years. Taking the four years, it may
be said that as proposition it has not
been success. Only the very few
have been able to feed cattle with a
satisfactory profit. The many have got
nothing to show but mortgage and a
lot Of valuable experience For this
reason we feel like commencing the
cow as very much safer and more re-
liable proposition for the average farm
er than the beef steer. With the cow
the market for her product is practical
ly assured at profitable figure. The
market for butter and cheese varies
but little from year to year, while the
making of beef is speculation pure
and simple, the price of the product be.

one Of the most arbitrary trusts in the

We note the hiring of a farm hand
for year at $50 per month, board and
washing. This is easily equivalent to
the $40 per month paid to the clerk in
some city office or store with the added
advantage that the farm hand can
save up SD where the town man can
one. We recall the time when the
farmer could hire just as good hand
for $12 per month, and there were
more men after the twelve dollar job
than there are after the thirty dollar
one.

The other day we noticed man un-

one on top of another, and as they

There is altogether too much Of this

to be slaughtered for food, there is ev-
