the Central Labor Union. The organ
izer is quietly working on the union

Galloway. In Davies county the soci-
ETY. is the most numerous organiza-

be aroused, for the love of the
schools Is as deep as any principle
of Americanism. The children, she
thought should be taken from the
homes, the streets and the work
shops and put in schools, and If our
present facilities are inadequate, they
should be enlarged and mere Mrs.
Mengel received applause for her re-
marks about the men. She thought
politics is the bane of the schools
and that smaller school boards
would be better
Statistics show that Kentucky is at
the head of the list in the states in
enrolment, but in attendance and
the length of school terms, especially
as regards the rural schools. the
state is near the bottom. Interest in
our local schools is necessary, but
we should never let our vision fail to
include the rural districts. Closing.
Mrs. Mengel reiterated the idea of
divorcing the schools from politics
and of educating the public interest
through a non-partisan organiza-
ton.

100000. But few years ago Aus
tralia was first, possessing no less
than 105,260,000 head OF sheep. That
was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were
the cause of the destruction Of many
millions Of Australian sheep, but since
1902 there has been an annual gain.
Yet these sheep were not indigenous

How a Kansan Cures Alfalfa.

An interesting method of curing
alfalfa hay is that used by Hon. ]. W.
Berry of Jewell, Kan, According to
Prof. Ten Eyck of the Kansas agri-
cultural college. Mr.. Bsrry's plan is
to cut alfalfa as soon as the dew is
off in the morning, rake it green and
haul it in the same day that it is cut,
tie only prscaution being that there
be no moisture on the hay other than
that contained in the green stems and
leaves. He stores the hay in large
corncribs, the bottoms of which are
elevated several ieet above the ground
with more or less open spaces, and the
sides of the cribs are also open. The
cribs are large enough to store a sin
gle cutting of alalfa from II acres of
ground and only cover the bottom of
the cribs to depth Of or feet
The hay is spread over the whole crib
bottom in an even layer and not
trampled, bat left light and loose as
il is thrown in. The second curing
Of alfalfa is placed above the first. and
the third above the second. until the
crib is full to the top. For three
seasons now Mr.. Berry has put up the
hay from this field in the manner
described above and each Winter he
has baled the hay and sold it at an
average of e. per ton above the mar
ket price of good alfalfa hay. The
hay stored and cured in this way has
been greener In color and of better
quality than alfalfa put up by the
usual methods.
Our experiment stations have not
given us as much information on hay
curing as they should. There are
several methods Of hay making and
each is adapted to certain conditions.
The problem in the humid region is a
knotty one. Alaflfa hay has been put
up too gteen in Texas aud the repu. I
tation of 1t has suffered accordingly.
Here is an excellent field for inves-
tigation by our experiment stations.
