Our production of alfalfa would
amount to good deal more In this
country If we would give more thought
and attention to the requirements of
the crop. One of our subscribers in
the east who has taken up the culture
of this great plant writes: "0n june
18th | cut my first crop of three and a
half acres, of about ten and half tons
after drying it seven days without rain.
On June 26 | put on ABOUT q cord of
decomposed yard manure and little
more alfalfa seed to each acre, and
went over 1t once in each direction
with harrow set at right angle to
harrow in the fertilizer and seed an d
kill out the foul trash. Twenty-three
days after the first crop WAS cut ! took
off the SECOND crop and sowed little
more decomposed yard manure and
alfalfa seed, narrowing 1t the same as l
have every crop heretofore. This har-
rowing process does not kill out the
alfalfa stand ut all, but does kill out
the weeds In sort of hOeing process
1t also works in the fertilizer and new
seed. can see nothing now but a
clean alfalfa field. ."-penver Field and

The Bank That Does Not Advertise

The following suggestions taken from
Bank Notes, u publication devoted to
the banking business, apply equally
well to all other lines of business:
The bank directors who do not ad.
vertise their bank simply because theiI
grandfathers did not, ought to wear
knee breeches aud queue.
The bank that does not advertise
because it costs money, should quit
paying salaries for the same reason.
The bank cashier who does not ad-
vertise because he tried IL and failed,
should throw away his cigar because
the light went out.
The bank cashier who does not ad-
vertise because he doesn't know how
himself, ought to stop eating because
he can't cook.
The bank that does not advertise be-
cause somebody said il did not pay,
ought not believe that the world is
round, because the ancients said il
was fiat.

We may not accomplish much, but
quality Of our work may give 1t
greatness.
The shortest and surest way to live

reality what we would appear to he.
Absolute sincerity is the basis of last

Cheerful tempers manufacture solace
and joy out of very unpromising
material.
Never look upon your work as q
refuge from thought, but express your
thought in your work.
Your anxiety does not empty tomor-
row of Its snrrowI but ah! It empties
today of its strength.
Did you ever think how many of
your troubles would die a natural
death If you had not so much time to

UuefvI Remedies,

A mustard plaster mixed entirely
with wife of egg will neither scar nor
blister.
Anyone suffering from rheumatism
will find relief If he constantly keeps
flowers of sulphur in the foot of his
stockings.
People who suffer with sluggish
livers would derive benefit from lemon
juice. Take the juice of one lemon in
half a tumblerful Of cold water without
sugar every morning, fasting.
Nothing is better for heartburn than
a quarter of a teaspoonful of baking
soda mixed in o little sour milk, 1t will
give instant relief.
Soap liniment is one of those harm
less and useful things that should find
place in every house. 1t can be had
ready for use from any drug store. 1t
is excellent for bruises and sprains.
The Ingredients are: Soft soap, cam

At dinner given by high official
at Washington distinguished French
man, who was visiting. this country as
a delegate to a certain industrial con-
ference, gave expression to extravagant
praise of his beloved France. His
neighbor at table, on the right, would
smile and bow in polite acquiescence
every time the visitor would mention
an instance of Frances superiority
above every other nation.
'The French" exclaimed he, "are
the politest people on earth"
The neighbor at table again smiled
and bowed.
A little piqued by the others silence,
the Frenchman asked: "Americans
admit, do they not, the superiority of
the French in pOliteness?"

There Is plenty of generosity and
kindness and disinterested helpfulness
in the world, and the one who sees
nothing of the sort ia victim of the
s0rriest kind Of blindness. The people
who cannot receive favor without
wondering what interested motive Is
back Of 1t, harm themselves more than
anyone else. People who cannot be-
lieve in generosity are generally in-
capable Of IL. They find no impulse
within which accounts for self-sacrifice,
and they explain it by some ignoble
instinct in their own hearts. To the

Keeping Farm Help.

The annual scurrying around for
good farm help was greater this season.
than ever. The problem is perplex-
ing one, as all labor troubles are, and
it seems that the only feasible way to
meet the situation is to get Mt the root
of the matter and see what influences
are driving competent young men from
the country. In the first place, many
hire help for only six to eight months
out of the year, for their cropping
operations are so planned that there is
practically no further use for extra
help. No ambitious young man will
work by the month under such con-
ditions longer than is necessary to ac-
cumulate enough money to buy piece
of land of his own, for certainly there
is not much hope Of getting ahead on
siX-month's work out of twelve and
paying board the other six months.
Young men who have not the ambition
to get farms of their own wander off to
the cities, where factories offer big
ger, pay and steady work. These
things are not new, by any means.
| Most farmers know precisely where
the trouble lies, but instead of meeting
the situation, many have been tempted
to sell their farms and get of into small
towns. A good hired man is a Jewel.
He should be given substantial ell
couragement to remain until he wants
to farm for himself. Surely little
planning will arrange work for him
the year around, and he will feel he
has permanent place at good wages.
Under such an arrangement the hired
man takes an interest in things and il
worth twice as much as the transient
man who comes to you for six months
at the highest wages he can squeeze
out Of you with the least amount o
Work performed on his part. Then the
man who does hard work day after day
requires good meals and comfortable
room. Treat them as men, and the
chances are you will get better
service and your men will stay with
you'll. G. r.

"For Righteousness sake.v

There Is no religion in mere Disagree
ableness. Sometimes man deludes
himself that he is being prosecuted for
righteousness sake when he is simply
being regarded as common scold and
treated accordingly. There are those
who ''cast out devils and do
many wonderful works" who are not
working for the kingdom at all. They
fairly dare the prosecutors to "oome on
and touch thenws
The Christian is not so. He is not
looking for a fight, although if his
faithfulness should make fight neces-
sary he will not run away from it. But
his spirit is the love spirit. He is work.
ing for righteousness. He will love
his enemies even while he is opposing
them. And there is no righteousness
in strife. And in the end he will con-
quer many of them by love who could
not be overcome by force.
Consider another thing. The Chris
tian must not only work for righteous
ness. He must incarnate it in HIM
self. He must be walking illustra-
tion of his principles. The world will
often oppose the good principles of a
hypocrite, not SO much because it
hates his principles, but rather because
it despises his conduct. Such opposi-
tion is not persecution for righteousness
sake. No beatitude applies to the
hypocrite.
But when one has consuming pas
sion for Righteousness, it will show it.
self first in his deeds, and. his words
| will be all the more powerful because
they are backed by righteous life

"Before the jury retired l took two
pieces of paper and wrote guilty on
one piece and mot guilty on the other,
and instructed the foreman of the jury
to destroy the one he did not wished

when the jury reached verdict. The
jury was out only few minutes when
it came in. The foreman handed me a

" Sept. 3, 1907.
Fitzgerald Enterprise,
l notice with pleasure in a recent
! issue of your paper, Mother Enter
prise's article on a club for rail
road men. But she did not eX-
plain fully the kind of club we
proposed to organize and the good
ladies of the city are under the i'm
preston that she and l are about
to organizea Locker Club, and in
fact go into the liquor business;
hence we had better change the
name of the organization we pro
pose to get up and call it the Rail
road Reading Rooms or some other
name that will not convey the idea
of a Locker Club.
The idea has been impressed up
ON me that club or organization
of this sort would be great pleas
ure and benefit to the railroad men.
A place like this fitted up. with
writing material, literature, etc. :,
would be a nice place for them to
spend their idle moments when off
duty.
There are quite a large number
of railroad men in the city during
the day and having no headquar-
ters in which they can go they are
naturally obliged to spend the
time on the streets because there
is no other place. Rooms fitted
up for them would be indeed a
pleasant place for them to gather
and read the daily papers and i'm
prove their minds by their reading.
AS soon as your article appeared |
interviewed quite d large number
of railroad men and they are very
much pleased with the idea and
very anxious to have something of
the sort established.
1t has been suggested that to Sc
cure a few rooms with a small hall
attached where the various orders
could hold their lodge meetings
would be very desirable and | now
suggest that the heads of the rail
road orders take up this matter
and if they desire it | am satisfied
we can interest the ladies of the
city and get them to furnish the
rooms, ofcourse, with the assistance
Of the men. The expense of main
tanning the rooms after they are
established will not be very much.
If the railroad men are interested
in this | would suggest that they
appoint a committee to take up the
matter and | and my neighbors
will get committee of the ladies
of the town to join with them and
| am sure the citizens here will
give them their enthusiastic sup
port in the matter.
Yours very truly,
j. j. Bull.
