Dies in Sneezing Fit AS Companions
Laugh.

Taken with violent fit ofsneezing, Dennis
Keleher, machinist in the Fletcher marine
machine works at Hudson and Thirteenth
streets, Hoboken n. Y, sneezed so hard that
he burst blood vessel and died before medical
aid arrived.
Keleher was thirty three years old, and
lived at No. 14O1 Willow avenue. He was at
work in the shop when the attack began.
When he had sneezed dozen times or more
he attracted the attention of the other men in
the shops, who laughed al his plight, some of
them pretending to sneeze in chorus.
Kelleher's fit OF sneezing continued, how.
ever, and he at last became exhausted and fell
to the floor Some of his comrades ran to him
then, and it was seen that he was bleeding at
the nose AS his condition appeared to be
serious an ambulance was called, but before
it arrived Kelleher was dead.

Homemade Fertility.

AS I have studied farm conditions in
the Eastern States | am forced to the con-
clusion that one of the most serious losses
to great majority of farmers comes as a
result of negligence or careless methods in
caring-or not caring-for the fertility
made on the farm. The manure heap is
much in evidence, and too often it con-
tains the total accumulations of a winter,
and, worst of all, is located under the caves
of the barn or on slope, in either case
causing serious losses which are altogether
unjustifable. When we realize that about
65 per cent. of the total fertility value of
the weddings of our farm animals is con-
tained in the urine we will realize that the
loss under such conditions is likely to be
serious one. Even where manure Gel
lar is provided or the manure is kept under
cover of any kind there must still be loss
of valuable ingredients.
I recently visited large farm where
the owner supposed he was doing the
proper thing in having built an expensive
manure cellar, but the smell of ammonia
in the barn overhead was sitting, and the
stable floors and joints were wet by the
steaming contents of this costly manure
cellar. This loss from the escaping nitro
gen could have been prevented by frequent
applications of land plaster or, better yet,
South Carolina rock. But why make a
heap at all, Or why use the manure cellar ?
The right way-it seems to me the only
way to handle the manure at least cost and
still with the greatest saving of its fertilizing
value-is to spread it evenly on the fields
as fast as it is made 1t is true that heavy
rains or melting SHOWS may seem to the
careless observer to cause loss, as the
wash will be considerably colored, but there
will be hardly a trace of fertility found by
a chemical analysis nothing but coloring
matter, which is of no fertilizing value.

Raise Alfalfa.

Every earnest, thoughtful farmer is de-
sirous of improving his soil, making more
remunerative crops and doing the work
with the least amount of labor. Small
grain and pea vine hay is much less ex-
pensive than cotton. Corn and sorghum
come next in cheapness. But the cheap
est crop possible in proportion to the labor
is alfalfa. Because many farmers in Texas
and other Southwestern States and in the
irrigated districts plant hundreds of acres
of 1t we do not advise you to rush into the
business that way. Go at it by degrees
until you learn how to manage it. Take
one acre as trial lot Select dry sort
of soil, with a porous subsoil. Flat, sandy
land will not do. A cotton lot that is near
ly free from grass seed is best Break
well, getting up two to four inches of clay.
Do this as early in the year as you can.
Harrow several times so as to make fine
seed bed Sow broadcast Is pounds of
seed to the acre March l to Is, mixing
them first with two bushels of sand slight
ly moist. Sand is the best thing to SOW
small seed with Cover the seed with
weeder Or light harrow, but not deep.
Keep back pound of seed and go over
the lot after it comes up and resow the
thin places. Before the last narrowing it
might be we'll to apply 400 pounds of 1914
acid potash. IF good stand is secured
and the first dry spell does not kill it be-
fore the roots strike down you will be all
right After learning how to manage that
acre you will be ready to put in two or
three acres the next fall, which is the best
time to SOW it. The farmer who works
two horses and has 10 acres in alfalfa will
get more clear money from it than he
would from a cotton crop if he planted
nothing else

WORST DISASTERI IN YEARS.
Vessel Wrecked Just AS She Is En-
tering Port.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-The worst disaster
for many years in the history of the busy
cross channel traffic between England and
the Continent occurred during violent
gale shortly before G O clock this morning,
when the Rotterdam mail steamer Berlin,
from Harwich to Hook of Holland, having
safely weathered the hurricane, was wreck
ed as she was entering port. With one
single exception, all her passengers and
crew, numbering altogether 143 persons,
lost their lives.
The terrific seas broke up the steamer
with such awful suddenness that all efforts
to save life appear to have been utterly
hopeless. At late hour this evening it was
reported that some few survivors were still
clinging to the wreck, but as the heroic
efforts all day long of the life boat crews
had failed to reach them, little hope that
they will be saved remains.

There was CONSERVATION at ''The Moor
ings'' where Louise Mayo was visiting,
when she announced and declared that that
was the dreamland voice about which her
friends had heard so much. They all
rushed to the brow of the hill, only to see
the buggy disappearing and Louise Mayo
said That voice is no revelation to me,
| have heard it often before; but will |
ever see his face?'
While boating and fishing on the Shen
andoah River during that visit, the boat
was capsized, and although no lives were
lost, from fright and excitement, Louise
Mayo Immediately lost her voice. Physi-
clans and specialists said that no cure
could be found, and that the voice was
lost forever, unless some great fright or
sudden surprise might bring it back again.
When Nature speaks to man and woman
with that marvellous voice which leads them
unerringly together, she makes no mis-
takes. 1t was inevitable that the posses
sors of those dreamland voices should meet.
They did so.
At Asbury Park during the second sum-
mer after that charity concert in Rich
mond, Louise Mayo was visiting friends
there as she had been visiting friends in
Millwood, and they happened to be friends
of Grant Henderson too. One rainy
night when all were driven in doors, Grant
Henderson, being temporarily in Asbury
Park, called upon his friends. During
the course of the evening he was invited
and urged to sing, and did so, his second
song being: "When other lips and other
hearts their tales of love shall tell "
"Did you not sing that song in Virginia
last year?' inquired Louise Mayo when he
had finished.
II did So" he replied. "How did you
know or hear anything about it?''
Il was there with that party on the hill
and saw you standing in the buggy and
heard the song
"Then,'' said Grant Henderson with
much sentiment, II must hear the voice
that sang "Robin Adair.
Everyone present knew of Louise Mayo S
misfortune and knew that she was the one
that had sung "Robin Adair.' They
were surprised to see her arise and with
quiet dignity go to the piano with the pur-
pose of attempting to sing. She struck a
few Introductory chords and began with
timidity at first. But with increasing
confidence, the voice came back, and when
she had concluded and turned to arise she
found herself willingly in the arms of Grant
Henderson, who held her, and turning tc
the astonished company, said
''You must excuse mel mean you
must excuse us-because I have searched
for this voice ever since this young woman
was born, and [ believe she has been look.
ing for me. -
Her unresisting silence gave confrma
ton to his words. And, as all true stories
should end, "Phey lived happily ever af
terwards. -

Good Live Stock Business.

c. G. Carey of Plattsburg, Mo-, was
we'll pleased recently after selling out a
string of ewes and lambs at high prices.
Three years ago Mr.. Carey came down
here and bought these ewes, and this was
the third lot of lambs they produced for
him. The lambs sold were about five
months old and brought, in round numbers,
S.. 25 per head. The ewes, which cost Mr..
Carey about 81 per head three years ago,
sold at about SIS so. Besides raising three
crops of lambs that sold high, Mr.. Carey
clipped from these ewes in three years over
SIS per head in wool "That may look like
a big story, but it is true, said Mr.. Carey.
"This sheep business is about the best OF
all the live stock transactions | ever engaged
in. The fact is these ewes were money
makers on big scale. :

Continuous Care.

Acquired characteristics, such as the
milking qualities of the dairy cow, which
have been developed under favorable condi
tions, best care and abundant food, are
only to an extent hereditary or fixed. The
same care, abundance of feed and favorable
surroundings must be continued ifit is de-
sired to maintain these acquired character
istics.

A Good Little Cow.

1t is not always in the high walks of
dairy life that all of the good cows are
found. Sometimes blue blood and excel
lence are discovered in humble lots, remarks
a Hoards Dairyman correspondent.
Neighbor Isham last fall bought little
Jersey COW of unknown history and breeding
for S35. In the seven months since this
little COW has supplied family of seven,
FIVE of whom are children, with milk, and
the balance has been sold, the sales to date
amounting to s64. If the next five
months turn out as proftably as they now
promise, $10O is going to be hard hit by
this little yaller COW.
