"Iolntedn Wool.

One OF the defects in wool which
the buyers very carefully look for is
what Is known as "jointed" wool
which means that there are certain
portions OF the wool fiber which are
weaker than others. This can be
usually detected by breaking a sam
pie of the wool in question. The pres
ence OF weak portions in the wool
fiber generally means that at some
time or other the sheep experienced
sickness or the growth was stopped
for the time being. To prevent this
condition the sheep should be kept in
constantly growing condition and
sickness prevented as much as pos
sible.

The seeds will thus be evenly dropped
just as you have them recorded in the

MAKING ALFALFA HAY.
Some Comments on the Most Success.
full Methods Of Handling.

The first cutting should be made
when about one-tenth of the plants
are in bloom. This usually comes in
May or early June, and at time
when II is difficult to cure the hay.
Start the mower In the morning Of
what promises to be a clear day, as
soon as the dew is off.
In the afternoon, II the weather
has been favorable, rake the alfalfa
and put into small cocks. These
should not be left standing more than
two or three days without moving,
or the plants underneath will be par
TALLY or completely smothered. II
alfalfa is exceedingly green when
cooked, or rainy weather sets in, II
will heat, unless the cock is opened
every day or two.
In favorable weather no more
difficulty will be experienced in cur
ing alfalfa than in curing heavy
growths of clover, says the Farm and
Home. The leaves are rich In nitro
gen and fall off readily when dry,
therefore the crop should be
cured with the least handling pos
sible.
Every alfalfa grower in districts
where rain is frequent should pro-
vide hap caps. These may be made
OF light cotton duck one-quarter to ! II
yards square. Hem the edges to pre-
vent travelling and make eyelets In the
corners for strings. Cut heavy wire in
lS.inch lengths and make loop on one
end in which to tie the strings at
tached to the pegs These wire pegs
can be either run into the ground OF
pushed into the sides of the cocks OF
hay or alfalfa. Alfalfa cured under
hay caps is of much better quality
than when cured in cocks or in the

HOW ATTITUDES
AFFECT TIRES

1.-THE deIeterious effect Of high aIti-
tudes on pneumatic tires" says W.
SmalIey Daniels. OF the Elastic Tire
Filler Company, does not at first
glance seem apparent.
In reality the explanation is very sim
pie. The atmosphere as well as the rub
Der offers the necessary resistance to the
outward pressure of the compressed air
in the tire TO prevent the tire from eX-
ploding. In high attitudes the rarified
atmosphere offers less resistance TO the
outward pressure Of the compressed air
in the tires. Consequently any reduc-
ton of the resistance Of the rubber by
even very little wear or a punCtuTe tends
in the light atmosphere TO bring about
the conclusion of the tire in a blow
out.
In Denver, Col, for example. the-c
are far more tire bIow-outs than IN
New York or Philadelphia, or Boston,
which are but Ettle above sea level.
discovered this peculiar condition with
regard to attitudes aad pneumatic tires
on my recent tip TO Denver, where
found a warm reception awaited the
Elastic Tire Filler, inasmuch as the use
Of this filler in a pneumatic tire instead
Of air makes blow-outs, Of course, i'm
possible. with no loss IN resilieney and
the additional advantage of making
punctures harmless.

Although Paris only developed her
modern system of bicycle mounted 20
lice IN 1900 that city finds good use for
COO mounted officers.
To realize how great a number this

be pointed out that the 100 largest cities
in The United States only use half this
number Chicago, for instance, has not
a single wheel owned by the police de-
IartnIent- Since its enlargement in 1890
the bicycle division has become one of

as the bicycle has answered certain pc
cuiiar requirements of police work in
Psris with an efficiency that has made
it Indispensable.
It is used for far more important work
than merely chasing ''scorchers,'' too.
It provides a method for patroIing
great stretches Of territory that It would

Full Particulars.

It's specific gravity is about -SS5, and
it contains about 81 per cent carbon and
per cent hydrogen. It is a water-white
LIQUID, which IS produced as byproduct
in the manufacture of coal gas.
Although benzol does not easily quite
as readily as gasolene, it can be used in
an ordinary gasolene motor with very
slight changes in the Carburetor. As
motor develops more power when run
ming on benzol than it does when run
ming on gasolene, it follows that less
