Unusual Tragedy Takes Place in Clear

Special to Tinas-Republican.
Clear Lake, Dec. 2.-The suicide of
a mouse has been the subject Of much
discussion here during the last few
days. In a certain kitchen in this
town, the windows are curtained by
fish nets. The mouse climbed to the
top of the net on one window.SArrived
there, he apparently caught his head
in one Of the rneshes, and in his fran
tic struggle to free himself, drew the
net so tightly about his neck that he
was strangled. No one witnessed the
tragedy. Many facetious persons have
remarked that the mouse, tired of the
many recent upheavals in Clear Lake,
had decided that life was no longer
worth the living.

June. The path of the storm seems
to have been about ,;;D miles long ana
from eight to eighteen miles wide. In
this area the destruction was terrific,
hailstones ranging il size from peas
to goose eggs falling for period Of
twenty minutes. As will be readily
understood. this meant death to young
stock Of all kinds. as well as to ducks.
geese. turkeys and chickens. One who
visited fields Of corn and oats hit by
this storm stated that vegetation Of all
kinds was ground to pulp and had been
swept clean from the fields by the
water which fell at the same time. So
ffdnely was vegetation macerated that

ALFALFA CULTURE.

Where one wishes to make a trial OF
growing alfalfa the piece of land on
(which it is to be grown should be put
lin the best of filth, as for big crop of
corn. and enriched with several loads
iof stable manure per acre. Alfalfa is
like most other members of the clover
family in that it does not do we'll on
poorly drained or wet soil. For late
summer sowing the seed should be put
in not later than Aug. Is at the rate of
twenty to thirty pounds per acre. The
legume will gain a foothold the more
readily if some soil from an old alfalfa
field is put on the land with the ma
nure with which it is fertiliZed Where
no such field is within reach soil from
spot wLere sweet clover has grown
will answer the same purpose. The
advantage of late summer sowing of
alfalfa lies in the fact that most of
the weed seeds in the soil have in all
probability been germinated and de-
strOyed, while those that do sprout will
be held in check by the dry weather
which usually prevails at that time of
year. One Of the greatest handicaps
in getting a start in alfalfa in some
localities is the pest of grasshoppers
which are so destructive to the young
alfalfa plants in some seasons that it
Is useless to attempt starting a patch

A SUCCESSFUL CREAMERY.

In the locality in which the writer
lives is located one Of the most success
full cooperative creameries in the north
Fart of the state. 1t has been in sue
cessful operation for the past twenty
years or more and has survived the
sharp competition of nearby concerns
and the centralized plants of larger
cities. To those living in localities
where the creamery business is not
on satisfactory basis or where there
is no creamery at all some brief ac
count Of this cooperative plant may
be of interest. The stock of the COM
pany, which is capitalized at $500. is
held by the many patrons living in the
territory tributary in shares of $40.
While stockholder may own more
than one share, he is allowed to cast
but one vote. At present no member
owns more than one share. Election
of officers is held annually early in
January. These consist Of board of
six directors. manager. treasurer and
buttermaker, the latter being hired By
the directors. While q good deal Of
rivalry and interest develop now and
then in the annual elections, there has
been a singular freedom from friction
touching the more important aspects
of the management Of the plant, a re-
spect in which many similar enter
prises go to smash. There are at pres
ent close to 500 cream patrons. Dur
ing the month of June the output was
a trihe over $1,000 pounds, all Of the
butter but the small amount retailel
locally being sold for top notch prices
on the New York market. The plant
proper, valued at $4,000, consists of
the building, one 1000 gallon capacity
cream vat. one 100 gallon capacity
ripener and agitator, one 1000 pound
capacity churn, one twelve horsepower
steam engine and an eighteen horse
power boiler, as well as cream testers.
cream tanks, cans, etc. An icehOuse is
kept in connection sufficient to supply
needs during the year. The wisdom
Of the directors who have had the
management of affairs in the past has
been chiefly manifested in the hiring
1of competent managers and first
class buttermaker and keeping him for
ia period of years. This has resulted
lin uniformity of butter product and
stability and satisfaction in the gen
leral conduct Of the business. Every
community where dairyiHg is possible
should have creamery of this general
type unless the field is already occu-
pied by an institution which answers
the same purpose
