FOUR TONS AN ACRE
IN TWO CUTTINGS

Alfalfa growing is generally recog-
nized to be n of the most profita-
bile industries in the Pecos Valley,
and pays very large returns on the
time and labor expended.
In this weeks issue Of Inc Dexter
Telescope, an instance is given of
one of the big crops grown in this
section. The Telescope says that the
Hearst farm of e~ighty-ive acres was
sold last spring for 500 per acre.
This year il two cuttings, the pur-
chaser has secured 341 tons of alfal-
ia, or a little more than four tons
per acre. This means about forty dol
lars an acre. AS at least two more
cuttings, giving as large amount of
alfalfa as the first two, should be Sc
cured, the returns of this yea in al
falfa should be eighty dollars per
acre. On an investment of one hun
dred dollars an acre, this is going
some. Mr.. Eastern Farmer, can you
beat it with rain and manure?

zhich points

to the military camp. which points
represent the terminals.
This car is operated upon q posi-
tive mechanical method of which N.
H. Tunis OF Baltimore is the inventor,
while the English car of which Louis
Brennan is the inventor. operates up
on the gyroscope method-or in other
words upon the principal that under
lies and keeps in motion the ordinary
| spinning-top with which every boy is
familiar.
The American car of which Mr.. Tu-
mis- is the inventor, and which is in
operation at the Exposition, has two
overhead truck built as light as pos
sible for safety. The wheels run be-
tween positive guards overhead.
Therefore, it matters not if the motor
stops for some accident happens to
the car, the guides are there to hold
it On the rail.
A desirable feature of the Tunis car
is that when the car is running on
curves at a high speed it leans toward
the center; in some cases as much as
25 degrees which serves to keep the
car on the rail. One of the nice points
about this American monorail system
is the fac that the equilibrium device
also serves the purpose of a transmit
ter for the electricity.
The only single rail system in opera
ton heretofore is thai of the suspen-
sion type known to Europe, n of
which this country could make nc
practical use. Therefore the James
town Exposition line is attracting
wide interest, especially among prac-
teal railroad men. Much interest has
likewise bee aroused in the propos-
ed construction of a Monorail interur-
ban line from Newark N. J., to New
York City, which undoubtedly depends
upon the success of the demonstration
now being made on the shores OF
Hampton Roads.

which it can be seen at once, is a We
ry important factor in a car construct
ed to run at a higher rate of speed
than mas yet been attained by any de-
vice built for the transportation of
passengers.
With the exception of one of the
two short experimental lines, the
jamestown Exposition line is the first
single rail railroad eve built in this
country, and this half-mile track now
has a car speeding back and forth ov-
er it daily by way of convincing the
public the the system is beyond the
experimental stage. The initial run
over the line was made on June 81,
with Governor Warield of Maryland,
Mayor Mahool of Baltimore, the Ma
ryland Commissioners to the EXPOSE
tion, officers of the company and rep
resentatives of press aboard the car.
This car is At feet 6 inches long,

Last week rumors were afioat that
the National Protective Legion had
failed and that policy holders had
been duped cut tiieir money.
1t was simply misunderstanding
of the change that was made in the
constitution and adopted at the last
convention which reads as follows:
The National Protective Legion con-
ventian at Buffalo decided on an
amendment to the constitution that
after January /, next the payment
of dividends on the class B PROPOSE
tions should not be held to the $3.50
basis as at present. Members have
been receiving $3.50 for $3.50 paid in,
but under this amendment the
amount which member gets at the
end of five years will be computed
by an actuary to mathematical GER
tainty. That is whatever the money
that a member puts in, plus the
lapses and the interest amounts to at
the end Of five years. All those
whose five year policies expires be-
fore next January will receive $3.50
but after that time expiring policies
will come under the amendment.
