Growing Alfalfa.

e. c.. Cameron, of Pike County, Mo-,
Is credited by an exchange with the
following suggestions on growing al
falfa:
after several years experimental
ton, with both success and failure,
unhesitatingly advise fall seeding.
While l know of no plant that excels
alfalfa in vigor of growth after it is
once established, it Is extremely timid
about its association with other plants
in its early life. Weeds and foxtail
are its worst foes, and how to avoid
them or to reduce them to the mini
mum Is the problem before the alfalfa
grower. 1t is with this in view that l
advise the fall seeding. To my mind
the piece selected for seeding down
next fall should be upland naturally
well drained and fertile. If the piece
selected Is land in wheat l should top
dress 1t during winter with all the
stable manure l could possibly get on
it-not in great hunks, but well distrib-
uted. After the wheat comes off In
June I should disk it twice, once each
way. After the first shower the weeds
will begin to appear, then disk again.
Keep this up until Sept. 1. Don't pillow
under any circumstances but kill all
the weed growth by surface cultiva-
ton. All this sounds like work, and
1t is work, but the best remunerated
work farmer ever did. About Sept /,
If there be moisture enough for ger
mination, sow twenty pounds Of seed
per acre. Use a wheelbarrow seeder
and sow ten pounds each way. This
covers 'sklps' and gives better dis
tribution of the seeds. Then slant
your harrow teeth and cover by going
over the field at least twice"

Equine Whins.

Race horses have curious likes and

companion. In many Of the old por-
traits Of horses lMelbourne for one)
you win see a cat lying contentedly on

The following experiences are given
by a racing man: u @

Tom Castle at the Childwick stud,
where there was staying certain
mare, and she took fancy to one par
ficu1ar groom. From no one else would
she accept her food, and when he used
to take her oats in she would get at
the door side Of the box and not allow
him to go out again for hours together.
La plan had to be devised for him to
do so, and hole was made under the
| manger big enough for him to get
through, and this he used to do daily.
One day, however, the mare espied him
doing 1t and caught him BIZ the leg Of
his trousers. The man got away the
worse for the loss Of his trousers leg.

MAKING GOOD ROAD
OLD FORT LINCOLN ROAD is RE.
cElvING MUCH NEEDED
REPAIRS.

Considerable work is being done on
the cut on the road running south
east from Mandan to old Fort Lincoln.
This is badespot and will require
time and money to put it in somewhat
decent shape. So far the settlers in
that vicinity have received very little
money to improve the cut and have
made remarkable progress under the
circumstances. 4. ...: B
It is certainly to the interest of
Mandan to ahve this part Of the road
put in good shape, as during last
spring it was almost imp for a
farmer from the southeastern part of
the county to come to town with a
load. James MCPHERSON has charge Of
the work on the road in that district
and is making good showing.

BULLY FOR BOLTON.

Bolton, Connecticut, hasn't been much in the public eye, and now it probably has no desire to be, but it cannot escape the fame which will come to 1t from the announcement that it has had no application for aid from any person in seven months, and the superintendent of the poor house has asked the selectmen if it is not desirable to either shut up shop or turn the town farm to other pur- poses. The se'ectmen are debating whether it will not be much cheaper to hire support for the occasional pat pers who may ask for aid than to rnn an expensive town farm plant tc pay for Heir maintenance.
 How'g that for a condition' It is evident that the good people of Iiol- ton didu't buy "Coppers" when fron- zied 1inanciers told them to. It is also evident that they are steady and i'm dustrious folks. It is entitled to proper local pride. Even New Haven, the big gest and best place in Connecticut, isn't thinking of closing its poorhouse.

4 TIME TO COME OUT STRONG.

Some of the blessings of poverty the rich men have been telling about are becoming apparent in these days. He that is down need fear no fall, and he that hath no Securities" need fear no fall in the prices of such things. Those who have them have been fearing fall, and they have found their fear fully justified. The fall has been long and heavy. There are indi- cations that it is nearing the end, but as all signs sometimes fail in dry time so they do in wet tintc Ther !. has been high-fying time. and to even things up there must be low flying time. Paying the fiddler isn't half as much fun as dancing, but the fiddler Is an insistent and persistent person, and he doesn't let up until he Is paid.

tempt to meet the situation of sup port in religious work is the address delivered recently by Rev. E. Tall- madge Root of Providence, R. l., secretary of the New England Fed eration of Churches. He was especial ly concerned with the problem of the country churches. He finds a decline of thrift on the part of many of them and the absence of occupations of va riety of form. Consequently the pop ulation declines; the rural church and minister lack adequate support. Hence, MT. Root advocates "the revival of rural industry by the discovery and the development of new lines, or new methods in old lines" He urges a CO., operation of three factors as neces- sary to rebuild rural life, Industrial, educational, and religious" To these in rural community the church should impaft inspiration and ideals. I The rural church cannot stand apart from the interests of the community in which 1t Is placed. It may be said that this is as true Of churches in the great cities. Their duty to the stirring affairs of this world is growing bigger and the demands exacting. To impart direction and to inspire in the main channels of thinking and doing in this life the ethical and religious spirit in order to sanctify, as it were, the ac-
 tivities of life is a great service, and In a way this is included in the effort of the French priests.

modern battleships. carrying an ar. mored belt of 8. 10 or 12 inches of Harveyized steel and with deck pro- tected with perhaps six inches of the same material Would the armor- piercing shell, carrying large quan- tity of high explosive, or the armor- piercing shot, carrying a materially smaller charge, but with greater piercing capacity, create the greater havoc? Would gun-fire directed at the superstructure prove more effective in the long run than that aimed at the armored sides? Would it be possible so accurately to place the shots as to penetrate the lighter armor of the decks, and if so, at what ranges?
 Japanese officers wont give United States officers any information bear ing on these and other questions. They are polite, but they aren't polite enough for that.

That scheme of Captain Amund- sens, to be driven to the North Pole by bears, is quite as promising as Walter Wellman's airship scheme, and perhaps still more likely to fmlfn It's promising. Captain Amundsen talks sensibly and hopefully, He points out that polar bears like cold weather, glaciers and field ice. An arctic snow- storm or blizzard is to them only a summer picnic, an ice Assure only an excuse for a jump or swim, and an iceberg their crowning delight.

OKLAHOMA ASPHALT.

There are no flies on Oklahoma, or if there are they are going to be brush- ed off. It Is going to have an up-to- date constitution, and 1t is going to have many other good things. One of the good things which 1t is going to have, according to It's present idea, is such "cinch'' in asphalt as will be much to its profit and bring an early end to the foreign asphalt trust which has held the large cities of the coun- try at its mercy for years. Deposits of asphalt were discovered in Indian Ter ritory years ago, but Hs usual in such cases the merits of the home article were discredited and the beds were left untouched while most of the growing young cities in the State bought asphalt for street paving in outside markets. Several towns, how ever, situated near the asphalt beds have experimented with the native article in the last year or two with very gratifying results. It has been proved to the satisfaction of the peo- pie of these towns that Oklahoma as- phalt is far superior to the Trinidad asphalt which has hitherto enjoyed a virtual monopoly in high class paving. The native asphalt not only stands the test of time better, but 1t is claimed that feature of the home product Is that 1t becomes harder and smoother by wear, and besides, it takes on a glaze which the foreign asphalt lacks Repairs can be made by merely pounding the asphalt together, weld ing it, so to speak; whereas the Trim idad asphalt becomes almost worth less wherever 1t is broken.
 Inexhaustible deposits of this as- phalt have been found, and if the ap- parently authoritative reports of it's quality are true there is business ahead for Oklahoma and the asphalt trust.
