Alfalfa CUTTINGS.

The various cuttings of alfalfa diff
fer somewhat in looks and value. The
first is always the heaviest in yield,
the stems in it will usually be rather
coarse and there are some few weeds,
We consider il valuable feed. but it
has these two objections. The sec
ond cutting has smaller stems, no
weeds and very large proportion of
leaves to stem. This is the kind We
always try to sell. The third crop has
even more leaves and generally a
more attractive appearance than the
first two. but. says Orange Judd Farm
er. unless it has matured well be-
fore cutting, 1t is not as nutritious as
the first two.

HAULING FARM CROPS
FIGURES ON TRANSPORTATION
BY WAGON.
Interesting Statistics Prepared by De-

Cost of Carrying Wheat 10
Cents Per Ton Per Mile.

Washington. an early date the
United States department of agricul-
ture will issue Bulletin 40 of the bu-
reau of statistics. prepared by Frank
Andrews, transportation expert of the
division of foreign markets. This
bulletin is a report on the cost of haul
ing crops from nearly 1900 counties
and cover practically the entire farm
ing area of the country.
The average cost to the farmer OF
hauling wheat from farms 10 ship
ping points is given as nine cents per
100 pounds the average distance
hauled is "a miles, and the average
wagon load of wheat weighs 3,333
pounds. thus containing about 30 bush
els. For cotton the average load is
1,702 pounds. distance from shipping
point lis miles. and cost of hauling 10
cents per 100 pounds, Reduced to
terms of cost per ton per mile the
rate for wheat is 19 cents and for cot
ton 81 cents.
The highest cost of haul is for
wool. which is carried on an average
1913 miles from farm or ranch to ship
ping point at a rate of "A cents per
100 pounds for the entire distance.
The lowest cost for any one product
is for hemp, which is hauled from
farms to shipping points at an aver
age cost of six cents per 100 pounds.
the distance hauled being 81 miles
and the average load of hemp weigh
ing 1888 pounds.
For the entire distance from farm to
shipping point corn, oats and barley

seven cents per 100 pounds; hay, haX-
seed, rye and timothy seed, eight
cents: wheat, potatoes and beans, nine

cents rice. hops and buckwheat, ii
cents: apples and peanuts, II cents;
vegetables (other than potatoes) and
cotton seed 10 cents; cotton and fruit
(other than apples), 16 cents; and
wool. "A cents.
Except in the case of wool, prac
tically all costs represent the expense
incurred by farmers in hauling their
own produce. Wool is hauled in the
Rocky mountains largely by regular
freight wagons, and the wool growers
pay for the hauling at varying rates
per 100 pounds.
The total tonnage OF farm products
hauled on country roads in the United
| States is not known, but of II leading
| products it is estimated that nearly
| 50,000,000 tons were hauled from
farms during the crop year 1866, al
a cost of about $S5,000,0O0, or more
than five per cent. of their value al
local markets. OF this traffic, 10000,
900 tons represent the weight of corn
| wheat and cotton, and the cost oI
hauling these three products was
$40, 900, 900.

Cure for Drunkenness
OrrIne Treatment to Be Used at Home Without Publicity, or Loss of

The best aid to temperance Is some thing that will strengthen the drunk ards wrecked nervous system and cure his unnatural craving for drink. We believe that any man who really de- sires to be cured of the liquor habit can cure himself by using Orrine. This remarkable treatment has made so many cures that we are glad to sell 1t under an absolute guarantee to re- fund the money if 1t does not cure.
 It Is in two forms: No. 1 that can be given secretly, and No. ? for those who wish to be cured. It Is not only the most reliable treatment Snown, but 1t is also the most economical, as 1t costs only S1 a box and there is no detention from the usual duties while iE a cure is not effected, thsre ia no expense whatever.

 The plaintiffs are Eastern customers who state that the best interests of the creditors in general demand that the company be taken from the hands of a receiver who was named for 1t by the common pleas court of Montgomery county October 30. on the petition of James Howard Friend, president of the company. The petition was based on allegations admitted in an answer made by the secretary of the company who stated that the debts amounted to $l,- 50O 000, and that the assets are not equal to those obligations.
 MT. Friend secured the appointment of H. L. Newell president of an envel- one company, a subsidiary to the Friend company, as receiver. The company has been doing business under the di- rection of the court since. The peti- tioning creditors tn today's action are: Lewis Seibert and Company and the O'Bannon Company of New York. and the Union Sulphur Company, Uf New Jersey.
 They rest on the simple allegation that the company has large amount of untitled orders on hand and crude material which should be made into mark etable shape and that on the wAole the best interests of all concerned would be best served by administration through the Federal court
