Weary of a life that promised as little

rels of the gun were discharged at the

where the deed was committed were
splashed with his blood. On dresser
near by was found the following note
which Meislein had evidently written just
before he took his life :. have lived thi--
ty-six THANKSGIVING and have never had
anything to be thankful for. so here goes. :
The hotel was without its usual quota of

AIsike Glover.

Alsike should not be sown on high
dry land. 1t Is not adapted for that
purpose This is because it las short
fibrous root system. 1t differs from
common red clover in this respect.
Both red and mammoth clovers have a
tap root which penetrates deeply into
the ground, enabling these plants to
gather moisture at a lower level than
it is possible for the roots of alsike clio
yer to do.
1t is on account of the long tap root
Of red clover that it cannot thrive IN
wet soils, whereas alsike clover with
its shallow growing, fbrous roots rev.
els in moist soils and fails to do well
on high dry areas. Those who SOW
alsike clover for hay like it especially
well on account of the fact that 1t ma
lures a little later In the season than
red clover, and consequently ripens at
the same time as timothy does, thereby
making better crop to be grown with
timothy than red clover.

Milk strained Through sand.

In several European cities milk Is
filtered through sand. By this process
all dirt is removed, the number of bac-
terra is reduced one-third, and the
quantity of mucus and Shiny matter
is greatly lessened, while the loss Of
fat in new milk is only slight
The filter consists of large cylindrl-
cal vessels, divided by horizontal per-
forated diaphragms into five super
posed compartments, Of which the mid
die three are filed with fine, clean
sand, sifted into three sizes, the coars-
est being placed in the lowest and the
finest in the topmost Of the three COM
partments.
The milk enters the lowest compart-
ments through pipe under gravitation
pressure, and, after having trayersed
the layers of sand from below upward,
is carried by an overflow to a cooler
fed with ice-water, whence it passes
into a cistern, from which it is drawn
direct into locked cans for distribution.
