livery intelligent farmer needs

A combination of the two, at a cost

is CO. operation which saves the farmer
money, and gives him two papers
every week for one year, filled with
all news of local interest, and all up

had any blight since he began to spray
with salt brine, eight years ago, ex-

done by March l, or Just before the

Thing. That Keep Down Price.


The most common substitutes used
In the adulteration of maple strip are
other sugars and glucose. Much OF the
SO called maple strip Is nothing but
combination of sweets with little
maple molasses added to give the ma
pie flavor There Is also a maple
strip which contains no maple at all.
The flavor is obtained by adding to the
compound an extract of hickory bark.
These limitations pass with those never
having tasted the pure article, but can
quite readily be detected by those hav-
ing had experience, They serve to
keep the price down, and thus the ma
pie groves yield their owners a much
smaller profit than they otherwise
would-Ohio Farmer.

A whistle Language.

They have a whistle language on Go
mera island. In the Canary archipelago
They can whistle there as articulately
a. Bostonlan speaks. And. since they
can whistle very loud and shrill, the
Gomeras can converse a long way of.
A Gomera hunting a mile from home
can ask his wife what there Is for
lunch, and. II the menu does not please
him. he can scold her and order a
change quite as we'll as though he
stood beside her
The Gomeras talk in a singsong, and
their whistle language reproduces the
spoken ones intonations. For instance,
children all over America have a taunt-
ing cry
Hiss for shame,
Hiss for shame
Everybody knows your nameH
This cry is not sung. 1t Is intoned.
And so the Gomeras intone their gut
tural language. 1t would be quite easy
TO whistle the Hiss for shame" cry.
SO It Is quite easy to whistle the Come
ras' sngsong language.-Cincinnati En-

A silent subsoiIer.

Alfalfa is a silent, effective and per
sistent subsolcr. In our own expert
ence alfalfa seeded Sept. 10 on heavy
red clay lands had developed roots be
tween two and three feet in length by
Dee. l, and two years after planting
roots carefully washed out of the soil
measured four to five feet In length.
Under favorable conditions the roots Of
alfalfa will often penetrate TO depth
of twelve feet or more instances being
on record of roots found more than
thirty feet long. The size of the root
varies with the age of the plant, the di-
ameter at the crown varying from one
half to two and one-half inches. I'm
der these conditions it is little wonder
that land should be greatly benefited
by the growth of alfalfa. 1t is mani
festly superior to the subsoil pillow or
any other implement which human eff
fort has devised for unlocking and
bringing within the range of shallow
rooted plants the virtually inexhausti-
BILE supplies of plant food which are
hidden deep in the bosom of the earth.
