YOUR STAND
OF ALFALFA
By George L. Farrell.

The time is close at hand when
every farmer who grows alfalfa and
fall grain should see to it that they
put the disks and harrows to work, es-
pecially those who own and operate
arid farms. Just as soon as the soil
is dry enough to work without clog
ging put on the disk, set it at the
second notch, put a weight on it be-
sides the boy driver and disk 1t
lengthwise. Have a team with har-
ground down well. Then turn cross.
wise with the disk and harrow and
work it all over again. If the alfalfa
is thin this work will thicken it and ii
weedy will destroy the weeds.
After this is done, make frame
eight to ten feet long and fill it with
good long brush. then put a heavy
plank upon it for the boy to run il
over the field to break up all the
Jumps and TO fine the surface soil.
This conserves the moisture also,
which will save one or all waterings
on irrigated land and make hay that
is worth much more than alfalfa that
has Seen irrigated. Some people ad-
vocate sowing a little seed upon alfal-
ia fields that are thin but this is only
to throw away the seed as it will not
grow. My advice with such thin crops
is to pillow them up and SOW a grain
upon the land two or three seasons,
then re-sow to alfalfa by blowing the
land eight inches deep in the fall.
Disk, harrow and level the land
early in the following spring, SOW the
seed with drill two inches deep with |
o1e-half bushel of oats and eight |
pounds of alfalfa seed. then as soon
as the oats are in the milk NOW the

How Her Life Was Saved When Bit.
ten By LARGE Snake.

How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a
harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which was
being driven by woman. The woman
promptly tainted and the car, left to
its own resources, ran into a stone
wall and caused a serious accident.
The bite of poisonous snake needs
prompt attention. Mrs. X. M. Fishel,
Route No. 1, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa,
tells how she saved her life when Bit
ten by large snake.
''On August 29, 1906, was bitten
on the hand twice by large copper
head snake. Being distance from
any medical aid, as a last resort I
used Sloan's Liniment, and to my as
constituent found it killed all pain and
was the means of saving my life. L
am the mother of four children and
am never without your Liniment"

BLOCKED BY A COMM ITTEE
WILL NOT PERMIT LEGISLATION

Assistance from President Roosevelt

Newspaper Publishers.

New York, Mar. 26.-The effort on
the part of the American Newspaper
Publishers association to secure legis
lation by congress putting print paper
and wood pulp on the free list has re-
ceived sudden shock because of the
absolute refusal on the part of the
Ways and Means committee to even
give them a hearing. Mr.. Ridder,
president of the American Newspaper
Publishers association, speaking on
the subject said:
Il have seen President Roosevelt on
this subject repeatedly, and he gave
me the most positive assurances that
he would send a special message to
congress urging that print paper and
wood pulp be put upon the free list.
On the strength of his statement /

of the United States to support him

A MEXICAN EARTHQUAKE.
Many Buildings in Chlapa LeveIed
But No Lives Lost.

City Of Mexico, Mar Ex-Governor
Damian Flores, the chief executive OF
the state of Guerrero, who is at pres.
ent in this city, at nine o'clock Friday
evening received the first official adj
vices from the town of Chilapa, said
to have been destroyed in the heavy
earthquake shock which occurred
Thursday night.
The message to the governor says
that while number of the buildings
of the town were levelled to the
ground, no lives were lost The po-
lice quarter and the mayors office
were destroyed and the Jail badly
damaged. Great assures were made
in the streets and open fields.
Later returns from Chilapa show,
however, that the dispatch received by
Governor Flores was ultra-conserva-
tive. The town was practically de-
stroyed though no lives were lost

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result 10
Almost Like Magic-UsefuI, Too.

Anything in the nature of chem
lcal experiment is always interesting
and usually educative. Here is a SIM
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive in a
very practical way: Get bit of White
Lead about the size of pea, a piece
of charcoal common candle in a
candlestick, and blow-pipe. Scoop
out little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other, with the large end of the blow
pipe between the lips; blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and If
the White Lead is pure it will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
globues of metallic lead. under the
intense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving
no residue.
If, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, it will
not wholly change into lead. So, it
will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient Of paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul,
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not

colony of anarchists, was arrested
Wednesday and an attempt will be
made to have him deported. Bignami,
who came here from New Orleans
about a year ago, Tuesday night
harangued a crowd and was heard by
Policeman Rocca to say that the fleet
on its arrival should be blown out of
the water; that President Roosevelt
should be assassinated and that the
entire police department of this city
should be wiped out of existence.

Pommace fly Drosopha ampephia: adult with


gots of this species, ranging In size
from those just out of the egg to half
grown or more. These flies are not
so obtrusive indoors and do not gen.
orally bother the person or get into
cooked food.
Larger yet, and comparatively more
rare, Is the 'blue-bottle," or blow
fly" a dull blue, stout, bristly species
which makes loud buzzing noise and
is more annoying from that cause
than from almost any other. The
larvae or maggots of this species de-
velop chiefly in decaying animal mat
ter A dead mouse will support a
dozen; dead rat will mature a large
brood.
All these flies are actually scaven-
gers, hence they have function and
the best way to deal with them is to
remove the cause for their existence.
Allow no decaying matter in or close
to the house, and keep all garbage
receptacles so tightly covered that
the flies cannot get at the contents to
lay eggs.
Flies do not like the dark, and will
fly out of small lighted opening, if
the remainder of the room be dark
ened. They are attracted by food
odors, hence are most numerous in
kitchens and dining-rooms. Give them
no chance to get food and they will
not stay long; hence in parlors and
sitting-rooms kept darkened and free
from food particles, flies are rarely
seen.
Besides these larger species which
may be kept out by care and screens,
there are often found, especially in
late summer and early fall, very small
flies, with bright red eyes. These are
the so-called ''pommace flies" and
they are attracted to and develop in
fermenting fruit juices of all kinds.
A basket of over-ripe grapes, or an
apple or pear, beginning to decay, az
tract swarm from the surroundings
at very short notice, and with the dis
of the material that at
tracted them the flies also disappear.

IOWA DEMOCRATS.
The Omaha Platform Was Adopted and
Bryan Delegates Named.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Mar. 81 Bryans
name came Justify from every Demo.
cratic throat at the state convention
Thursday. Democrats who have been
loyal to the Nebraskan through all the
years were selected as delegates-at-
re-cast of Bryan's Nebraska platform
and the Endorsement of Bryan in the
Omaha platform made stronger and
more eloquent by his Iowa admirers.
Every mention of his name was greet
ed with storms of cheer.
When the resolutions committee
met, it heard a request from Mr.. Bryan
that the ideas of the Omaha platform
be Endorsed by the Democracy Of
Iowa. There was some sentiment in
favor of adopting the Nebraska plat
form without change but finally it was
rewritten. The committee spent all
the afternoon at this work and the con-
vention listened to speeches by Judge
Wade, General Weaver, Fred White
and other leaders.
egates-at-large were not chosen
until nearly seven o'clock Thursday
evening. They are Claud r. Porter of
Centerville, Jerry B. Sullivan of Des
Moines, i. j. Dunn of Mason City, who
were chosen on first ballot, and C.
Duncombe of Fort Dodge, who won out
in contest with General Weaver on
the second ballot. A special plea for
Weaver was made by Fred White, but
the river counties defeated him be-
cause of his former alignment with the
Prohibition party.

A number of species of flies occur
in houses, but most of them do not
breed there. The largest percentage
consists of the common house fly
(Musca domestica), and this is nui-
sance in every sense of the term. 1t
Is not only an annoyance, but is actu-
ally dangerous as carrier of any
sort of germ disease. The adult gets
into everything, walks over every
thing and feeds on or at least tastes
almost everything. Germs" may be
taken up on the hairy pads of the
feet from eXcrementitious matter, ex-
pectorations or other waste, and may
be carried to food or directly to the in
dividual. From sickroom, flies
should be most rigidly excluded.
House flies lay their eggs on, and
their larvae live in excrementitious
material of many sorts; but the ia
vorite food is horse dung, and in a
small quantity of this great num-
Der may develop Sometimes they
are found in garbage pals or barrels;
but these are more usually used by
other species. The larvae of flies are
maggots, and it takes only a little
over a week for them to pass through
all the stages. from egg to adult. De-
velopment, therefore, takes place out
doors as rule, and only the adults
come into the house. They hibernate
there if given chance, and in
well-warmed residence flies are never
entirely dormant
Another common species is some

Simple Poultry Houses.-Poultry
houses that are simple of construction
are the best poultry houses. The
fancy poultry houses that are all cut
up with partitions and other inside

We have visited poultry houses of
which their owners were very proud
and which seemed to contain a dem.
onstration of every suggestion that
had ever been made as to fixtures in
poultry houses. That such houses are
of little service. every experienced
poultryman knows. If We work to-
ward the simple and away from the
