THE CYCLONE.
How This Wonderful and Destructive
Air Fury Is Formed.

To get an idea of cyclones forma-
ton imagine a large circular pan or
tub with quite a large hole in the
middle Of the bottom. With this hole
plugged, fill the vessel with water,
then draw out the plug and watch
There is first q rush Of water from
all directions toward the hole and q
turbulent effort to get through; then
the water surface above begins to
sink and swirl, the particles gradually
circling around and around and rush
ing, ever faster, toward the center.
At last there is actually a hollow space
through the center, around which all
the water in the tub Is whirling slug
gishly near the rim, but with more and
more violent rapidity toward the mid
die until 1t rushes downward through
the bottom. Now, if that water were
air you would be watching a little
cyclone turned upside down, for the
air rushes upward instead Of down
ward
In the cradle Of cyclones during the
summer months, when the land and
the water grow hotter and hotter be-
cause of the longer days than nights,
a layer of air, hot, light and full Of
vapor, is for q time held down by
denser air above 1T. Restless, expand
ing, tumultuous, it moves about like a
beast at bay until a thinner place In
the air above is found; then up it mad
ly rushes, and into the vacuum left be-
hind the lower atmosphere haStens from
ell directions, pushing and twisting
and pouring upward until it has fallen
into regular spinning around COM
mon center.
The cyclone, once formed, rushes
away from the tropics toward the pole
and begins it's career of destruction,
bruising, wrecking and sinking the
luckless ships which happen to be In
its path. More and more of the sur
rounding atmosphere is drawn into the
Whirl until the storm often covers an
area nearly 1000 miles in diameter.
Sometimes 1t filings itself upon our At
lantic coast and tears f1ercely through
forests, fields and cities. Then, again,
it sweeps away across the broad ocean
and dashes itself upon the coasts Of
Europe. Once in awhile 1t so adroitly
avoids the land that we never know it
has passed until ships come In torn
and brOken.-St. Nicholas.

SOWING ALFALFA.
Preparation of the Soil to Insure q
Good Stand.

Preparation of the Soil to Insure a
Good Stand.
Men who have planned to get q stand
this fall by leaving their land bare,
with the hope Of cultivating it from
time to time during the season, need
little advice from us. because that is
really the ideal way Of fitting the land
for alfalfa. 1t destroys the annual
weed seeds in the surface soil, con-
serves moisture, firms the lower soil
and ideally fits the seed bed for the
reception of the seed, so that germina-
ton is uniform, quick and strong. On
such a soil, if the seed is sown in
August or during the first part of Sep
TENDER, the chances of not getting a
stand are, in our opinion, very slight.
On the Average Farm.
Turning now to the plan that must
be followed by the average man who
expects to SOW his alfalfa seed this
fall, we first recommend that the stub
BILE be ploWed as soon as possible after
harvest. This is necessary in order
that full opportunity be given to work
down the soil into a firm yet friable
condition. Furthermore, it is absolute
ly useless to plow early unless one
fully makes up his mind to do the
necessary work on the surface at in
tervals of one week or ten days. The
harrow for this purpose is an ideal i'm
plement, though, of course, if the
weeds start it may be necessary to use
the disk to some extent. An instance
was called to our attention where a
Kansas farmer last fall narrowed a
certain field fourteen times after plow-
ing and before seeding, and yet the re-
port that he has to offer on his success
in getting a stand would indicate that
all his labor was justified.
In the Corn Belt.
We insist that half hearted methods
will not result in success in undertak-
ing to get a stand of alfalfa, and the
crop is so valuable and lasts so many
years after a proper seeding that one
can we'll afford to take the necessary
time to fit the land. AS to time of
seeding, we have said before that best
results are usually obtained by sowing
in August though in the southern half
OF the corn belt seeding may be done
as late as the 9Th or 10th of Septem-
Der. Each man must be his own judge
of local conditions, the main object
being to obtain a fairly good growth
before the ground freezes. If the
plants are small when growth ceases
in the fall they are much more apt to
be heaved out by the freezing and
thawing of the ground, while strong
root system will in most cases prevent
the occurrence of this. AS to the
amount of seed that should be used,
there is some difference existing in the
practice even of successful men.--Iowa

Kansas Grain Crops.

If most Of those who are supposedly
we'll informed as to Kansas grain crops
and their relative Importance were
asked to name the four they suppose
most largely grown, the chances are
that wheat would be put first, corn
second, oats third and rye fourth.
This order would no doubt be general
" accepted without question, but the
fact is barley has superseded rye in
the quartet, and of course corn should
head the list, as it is the most valuable
product of Kansas soil. Kansans
however, are prone to give wheat the
greatest prominence, because Kansas
is the leading wheat growing state in
the world. AS to the competition for
fourth place. the statistics are inter
esting as given in the latest report of

defeated by the British under the com
mand of an Irish officer named Ross.
In recognition of his services in win
ming this victory his sovereign granted
him the title Of Ross of Bladensburg,
and to his crest was added an Amer
lean flag, reversed. with the shaft
broken. The title is hereditary. In

The Standard FORAGE Crop.

Alfalfa is the standard forage crop
Of the Great Basin area, as it is Of the
entire western United States. Among
the people of Utah it is known uni
versally as lucern, the name under
which it was first brought into the
eastern states and which is derived
from the common European name for
the plant. This name was probably
carried westward to Utah by the early
pioneers, who never accepted the Gait
fornia name alfalfa, which has been
derived through the Spanish from an
Arabic word signifying "the best fol-
der."-Carl s. Schofeld

Suoar Beet Industry,

The benefits from growing sugar
beets do not stop with the crops. They
are felt in stock production as we'll.
No farmer can begin to appreciate I'M
til he has experience the value of mo-
Iasses and sugar beet pulp-Dyproducts
of the sugar factOry-as a food for
stock. OF these every sugar factory is
turning out at least half the original
weight Of the beets. Pulp is immedi-
ately available for the farmers use. 1t
is easily stored and kept. AS rule, it
is considerably cheaper than any other
feed be can buy OF produce. Usually
this pulp can be purchased at the fac
tory for 81 cents to 81 per ton. Such
low prices must necessarily continue
for some time.-C. F. SaylOr.

Climate of the Arid West.

During the last two or three years
there has been rather more than the
normal amount of rainfall over the
larger part of the arid region, and
many people acquainted only with the
present conditions firmly believe that
the climate is gradually becoming
more humid. This belief is probably
without any foundation in fact, and it
is surprising that it should exist, for
the precipitation records of the whole
country receive wide publicity; but,
since the idea is generally held and
has been widely advertised, 1t becomes
important to emphasize the fact that
there is no adequate basis for hoping
that the climate of the arid west is
undergoing any appreciate change as
regards precipitatiOn.-C. S. ScofelG.

GOV. DAVIDSON.

Politicians of Wisconsin are al
ready beginning TO discuss the
question of VINO will succeed James
o. Davidson in the Office of COVER
nor, and thus far it seems to be
conceded that he will be given a
second election on the republican
ticket, which means that he will
serve as governor five consecutive
years, the same length of time as
served by his predecessor, r. M.
La Toilette, now senior United
States senator for Wisconsin.
Occasionally other names than
that of Governor Davidson are
mentioned for the republican
nomination next year, but the pre-
sent executive, it is said, will have
to insistently decline a second cleo
ton in order to get a chance to
retire 70 his general store in Soldiers
Grove.
Governor Davidson, if he be elect
ed again next year, will have IL
consecutive years in state Office, an
unprecedented record IN Wisconsin.
In 1898 he was elected state treasur-
er and served two terms of two
years each, then going into the
office of lieutenant governor and
being reelected. He served only
one year of his second term as
lieutenant governor, succeeding to
the governorship upon the resigna-
ton of Governor La Toilette, who
went to the United States senate in
January, 1906.
Last fall, Governor Davidson was
nominated and elected by the re-
publicans and is making a credit
able record as chief executive, so
that the political gossips are even
now declaring that If he wants
another term 1t will not be denied.
State Senator George B. Hudnall
of Superior has been mentioned as
a prospective republican guber-
material candidate, but it is said that
his large law practive and Indiffer-
ent health will dlssuade him from
entering into a campaign, parti
cularly if Governor Davidson should
intimate a willingness to accept
another term.
