BALTIMORE WOMAN MISSING.
lieves Mother Has Been
Murdered.


Baltimore Especially No trace OF
Mrs Mary Hudson, fifty-six years Of
age, who disappeared on August 6
from her home has yet been dis
covered, either by her friends or
relatives or the police. The theory
that she drowned herself in the shall
low waters of the upper basin has
been about abandoned by her hus-
band and children, as by this time
the action of the water would have
certainly progressed sufficiently to
permit her body to come to the SUR
face, where it could hardly fail Of
discovery in the frequently travelled
waters of either the upper or the
lower basin.
It Is because of this line of rea-
soning that the impression is grow
ing that Mrs. Hudson was foully
dealt with, and that the murderer
or murderers must have concealed
the body where nothing less than a
systematic and intelligent search
would reveal its last resting place.
The missing woman's daughter, Miss
Nellie R. Hudson, expressed the
views of Mrs. Hudson's husband,
Abel G. Hudson, and other relatives
as having settled into this convic-
ton.

The persistent vitality of seeds has
often been noted, and, while there is
some doubt as to the reliability of re
ports of wheat taken from Egyptian
graves of ancient date terminating
when planted. many notable, if less
wonderful, examples of natures preser-
walton of the life of seeds come to life
from time to time. One of the most
noteworthy of these refers to seeds
taken from Fort Conger, about 400
miles from the pole, by the Peary party
IN 1899, having been exposed in this
noT thern climate for Il period of six
teen years, their presence there being
the result of the Greeley expedition in
1883. Packages of lettuce and radish
seeds were brought to the United
States. and, after Il further period of
six years, were planted, and, while the
lettuce seed had lost its vitality. fully
ore-half of the radish seed terminated
and grew to maturity and perfection.

Feeding Tankage.

Tankage has been found to be a val
liable hog feed by a number of our sta
tons The Iowa station, for example,
fed corn and tankage at the rate of 80
parts of the former to five parts Of the
latter. The tankage was worth $50 per
ton and contained about ~ per cent of
protein and 1G per cent of fat; the price
of corn meal was So per ton. The
experiment was conducted for a period
of 40 days The hogs weighed POS
pounds at the end of the experiment.
With the ration containing tankage 100
pounds of gain was produced at a cost
of 81 80, while with corn alone 100
pounds of gain was produced at cost
of So. 10. These results, therefore, show
saving of 4G.6 cents per month per
hog i'll favor of tankage when fed in
connection with corn under the condi-
lions mentioned. Besides this, it should
be remembered that the manure also
became more valuable on account Of
the amount Of protein fed.

4 Nebraska farmer thinks the Du-
rocs are the best hogs. He says: The
DurOc hog has the ability to make a
pound of pork on as small an amount of
grain as any hog. BY nature he is a
better rustler, Il hog that is better able
to take care of himself than any other,
quality that has been essential on
any farm. When | got my first red
sow ! had the Poland Chinas, and it
was noticeable how the red ones were
up ard about i'll cold weather when
the black were piled up in the nest.
This very thing made it possible for the
red SOW to produce a better and strong
Ell litter of pigs than the black, and
they are better producers of larger lit
tcrs. They do not need the care that
the white hog does to keep them from
getting NANCY, in this Western coun-
try.

grain than any other class of farm ami
mails. In fact, it was shown that a
pound of mutton can be produced from
about half as much grain as a pound of
beef. Even the mortgage-lifting hog

the combination of corn and clover hay

To Ship Dressed Poultry

Stock shipped without ice should be
packed in clean cases, which should be
lined with fresh wrapping paper. Some
careful shippers wrap each bird in
waXed paper, and such care usually
pays, as the stock so packed reaches
market in the best condition. Occa-
sioTalIy birds will soften up so much
Ell route that blood will run from the
mouth, thus soiling much of the CON
tents OF the case. To prevent this a
piece CT paper may be wrapped around
the head of each bird. Mark all pack
ages with the name of the shipper, kind
ana number of birds. and net weight.
No shipment of poultry, dressed or
alive. should be.made to reach the mar
ket later in the week than Friday morn
ing, except by special arrangement with

FALL Alfalfa Seeding

The Pennsylvania Experiment Sta
ton has gained much experience in fall
and spring seeding of alfalfa, and says
that the principal objection to spring
sowing is that weeds come up and
choke out the young plants before they
get a good start. The fall seeded al
faIfa on dry land was able to with
stand the severe winter climate per-
fectly-in fact. better than the COM
mon red clover Under average condi-
tons, from 20 to 80 pounds of seed
should be sown to the acre. Manure
gave better results on Pennsylvania
soil than did commercial fertilizer
Lime did not give satisfactory results
In some instances it gave no appre-
ciable results. and in others it was de-
cidedly harmful but in no case it APP
piled to advantage. Deep. well-drained
soils are the best for growing alfalfa.

Alfalfa and AlkaIi Soil.

Prof. Ten Eyck says that no crop is
better adapted for taking alkali out

Bromus inermis with the alfalfa, since
alfalfa alone is considered an unsafe
pasture for cattle. \ liberal applica-
ton of barnyard manure will help to
put this land into condition for seed
ing. Probably the early fall will be the
best time to seed.
