GROWING ALFALFA
Mr.. Van Mctrr Candidate for Ncnsna-
ton Of skeriff Succeeds in Cutting
Record Crop of Alfalfa.

Perhaps the most interesting sub
ject to stock -aisers of Berkeley coun-
ty is that OF alfalfa, on account Of its
superiority over all other stock food
The progressive farmers of the
county have for several years been
experimenting with the product which
thriyes in the Western and principally
the Southwestern states.
Mr.. /. ID. Van Metre, candidate for
the republican nomination of sheriff
of the county, claims to be, and rs
conceded to be by other growers, the
most successful grower of alfalfa in
Berkeley county.
From 40 acres sown in alfalfa Mr..
Van Metre recently cut rs big loads
and this is considered a tremendous
crop even in the country where alfalfa
abounds. Mr.. Van Metre will cut two
more crops from the same planting.
Figuring load Of alfalfa as a ton,
and when it is taken into considera-
tion that leading agricultural writer's
figure that ton of alfalfa is equal to
a ton OF bran for stock feeding pur-
poses and that the market price Of
bran is about $50 atom, this product
bids fair to call for more than ordi-
nary attention from the stockraisers
of this county.

ed last night that Senator ElKins, Of

gels for Sherman G. Denham, who has

office Department in company with

by the President for "pernicious polit
ical activity" on the complaint OF
Representative Hubbard, of West vir.
ginia, in whose district Clarksburg
lies. Denham was said to have been
an aspirant for Hubbard's seat in con
gress, and the latter made it plain to
the President that Denham was spend
ing too much time away from his
duties as postmaster.
Senator Elkins denied the report
when asked whether he would take UP
the fight for Denham. He said Den.
ham was a friend, but the supervision
Of the postrlasters came under Mr..
Hubbard in that district and he did
not intend to mix up in the matter.
Senator Elkins said that he, went to
the Postoffice Department on other
matters. not knowing that the Post
master General was out OF the ely.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

The .yerage persons way of for.
giving anybody is meaner than refus-
ing to do SO.
One of the most satisfactory things
about having a big family is that it
isn't any bigger.
A very dishonest thing about a
women Tho is married for her money
is not to have it.
The reason widow knows so much
is she didn't Learn any of it from her
husband until he was dead.
A women can love a man because
some other one does when she could
hate him under ordinary circum-
stances.
When a man tells the exact truth
about what time it is when he comes
home late il makes his wife slspi-
cious of where he was.
A married man could be ideal'v hap
by if his wife would let him wear ais
old clothes to business and his best
ones when he goes fishing.
The only secret there is about girl
being able to do anything she wants
to with man is she knows how to
talk to him about himself.
About as mean trick as your
poor relatives that you have looked
down on can play is to make money
and then do it to you.--New York
