Women of Woodcraft Safe Robbed.

Women of WOodcraft Safe Robbed.
Portland, Or, June 30.-Robbers

the Women of Woodcraft building
worked probably there last night,
opening the outer door by following
the written combination left by the
secretary. The inner portions of the
strong box were rifled, the thieves
netting 5000 in gold and bonds val
ued at $5668.45 as their booty.
That the cracksmen were acquaint-
ed with the first floor of the building
is indicated by their discovery of the
written combination without effort,

save in that portion where it was GUS
tomary for the secretary to leave the
combination.

Volcanic Ash Soil.

What yield per acre do you think
Marrowfat peas will produce on vol
canic ash soil, such as is in the vicin-
ity of Cheney? "-J.J I'M.
Judging from our own tests at the
Station, l should say that you would
get yield of from twenty to thirty
bushels per acre. This is assuming
that your ground is in good condition,
such as would be secured by blowing
in the fall, working very thoroughly
in the spring, and seeding as early as
possible. Peas will not stand drought
as we'll as wheat, and if the soil is
thin, you would not secure profitable
returns"

Weeds in the Alfalfa.

sowed seventy acres of land to
alfalfa this spring, and it has come up
nicely, but in some places there are
more weeds than necessary. Now |
desire to know if it would be advisable
to cut the alfalfa several times this
summer, or would it be better to let it
go, and cut it when it is ready for
hay? Some people say that if alfalfa
is cut to keep the weeds down, it will
take root better. w. C.S.
"The Experiment Station advises
that, unless your alfalfa has made a
very remarkable growth. you should
clip it back, and allow a good deal of
mulch to the ground. If the alfalfa
has made an unusual growth, as is
true in many places this season. it
would be advisable to cut back at an
early period and make it into hay 1t
is always advisable to cut the new
growth of alfalfa the first season, as it
makes the plant take root better. If
you have irrigated to some extent, it
would certainly be we'll to cut the alf-
alta back while it is having its contest
with the weeds"

The Best Cow.

"Can you tell me what is the best
all-around COW for the farm ?''-D. C.P.
Where but one or two cows are to
be kept upon the farm for house use,
Jersey grade might perhaps be the
most satisfactory. The Jersey gives
the largest percentage of cream, which
is always desirable. For general use,
however, would recommend one of
the breeds which give larger quantity
of milk which Is less rich in fat. Such
milk is better for home use, and the
quantity secured is very much greater.
The matter of breeds does not cut so
much figure as the character of the
cow.

There are several different varie-
ties of alfalfa, but the real differences

No Dry Land Alfalfa.

81 desire some information about
alfalfa. The soil of my homestead is
of grayish color in the fields and on
ridges. Is there a dry land alfalfa ?
Where might | get the seed, if there
is? How much of it per acre should
sow. and when? What would the
seed cost me?'-W.Z.
There is no alfalfa which is dis
tinclly designated as dry land alf-
alta. In using this term, we simply
refer to alfalfa that has been grown
without irrigation until it has become
adapted to such conditions, and, in
consequence, has slightly changed its
habit of growth Alfalfa grown on
dry land is considered better for pas
ture and hay than that produced under
irrigation, although the yield cannot
be so great. You can obtain seed
which has been produced from alfalfa
grown on the high, dry soil of the Pa
louise country, by writing to Mr.. E.
W. Downen, Of Pullman. You need
not sow more than twelve pounds per
acre. -

Alfalfa Seed for Profit.

Would be able to grow alfalfa
seed as a business in this section of
Washington? What would be the
principal difficulties might encounter &?
How should l proceed to get a stand
of alfalfa" -T.B.
eve believe that if you could Sc
cure a good stand of alfalfa. you would
be able to produce seed in paying
quantities. Your difficulties would be,
first: your land is not inoculated for
the growing of alfalfa; second: you
would have trouble with rabbits and
other vermin which have a special lik-
ing for alfalfa; and third: you would
likely be annoyed by grasshoppers.
sin getting your land ready. you
should grow crop of wheat first be-
fore sowing to alfalfa. After the soil
is thoroughly prepared, the seed should
be drilled, rather than broadcasted.
To inoculate the soil, you had better
secure inoculated soil from an old alf-
alta field. Sow about eight or ten
pounds to the acre, as it makes better
seed if sown thinly."

Try Under Drainage.

81 have a pasture that contains
about thirty acres of land. now grown
over with salt grass. which could ir-
rigate. What will this kind of land
produce" -O.R.H
81 should judge that your land is
somewhat alkali, but if you can irri-
gate it, and especially if you can pro-
vide a system of under drainage, | be-
lieve you can make it a most product
i've tract. Such lands sometimes be-
come more alkaline after irrigation,
unless under drainage is provided to
carry off the surplus moisture. BY
the drains, it is also possible to food
the land and wash out the excessive
alkali, Land so treated ought to pro-
duce large crops of alfalfa. Trees
might do we'll on it after the alkali
condition had been improved.

grows in partial shade equally al we'll.
In our experimentation at the Station
We have found that this grass grows
quite we'll on the hills of the Palouse
country. and endures many years with
out reseeding. The habit of the plant
Is to grow in punches or tufts, and on
this account it needs to be sown rather
thickly. 1t Is a good grass to sow in
combination with clover, as the latter
will fill up the spaces between the tufts
of orchard grass. "
Grass for School Lawn.
What grass would you advise for
school lawn ?'-W HI.
"You could not use any grass better
than white clover. if you have suffi-
cient moisture to promote the growth.
Blue grass will stand more tramping
than any other grass. A combination
of blue grass and white clover would
be unexcelled for the purpose you men
ton, in the opinion of the Station. -
Back Set in Fall
Il have some breaking that was
turned this spring. Would it be better
to back set it this fall, or next
spring. Or, would it be as we'll to
crop the land in the spring without any
back setting ?''-U. S.P.
81 believe it would be better to
back set the land you mention this
fall. However, would be governed
by the present condition of the soil. If
the sod appears fairly we'll rotted. as
should be the case with the amount of
moisture we have had this year, | feel
sure that there would be very little
green sod found in it. If you intend to

JUDGE DAVIS
BURNED SAVING
HIS SONS LIFE
Carries Hand, Scared by Flames,
in Sling When He Appears
in Court.

Judge Thomas A. Davis appeared on
the bench of the county Criminal Court
today with his right hand in a sling,
the result of his heroic rescue of his
6-year-old son Thomas A. Davis, jr.,
from burning to death.
Theodore Roosevelt Davis, another
son, found a match yesterday, and
despite frequent warning against strik
ing matches the lad lighted one while
he and Thomas A. jr., were in the
play room in the Davis home, 60 Cleve-
land street, Orange.
A spark flew on to the back of lit
tie Thomas's blouse, and in q moment
he was aflame. The boy, screaming,
started for the Fstairway. Judge
Thomas was reading on the second
floor. and he ran into the hall and met
the boy dashing downstairs ablaze.
The judge tried to beat out the fire
with his hands, thus severely blistering
his right hand and scorcing the left.
efforts did not eXtinguish the
flames and the father carried the burn
ing boy to the second floor, where he
quickly placed him on the floor and
rolled him In a rug, thus smothering
the flames. The boys body was hardly
scorched, but his fathers hands re-
quired the attention of a doctor, and
for some time he will not have the use
of his right hand.

to the effect that there is a possibility
of Franklin w Fort, former recorder,
being considered for the position of

started shortly after Mr.. Fort resigned

KRAUSSS WOODEN
SHED MAKES fine
BUNCH OF TROUBLE
East Orange Council to Wrestle
Again with Problem InvOlv-
ing Fire Ordinance.

The East Orange City Council expects
to wrestle again tonight with the prob
lem presented by C. F.. Krauss, of
Washington place, who has a wooden
shed inside the fire limits, on which he
desires to attach wooden sides. Build
ing Inspector Edward I. Condit and Mr.
Krauss nave been involved in a long
controversy we the matter and do not
feel kindly toward each other as a re-
suit. Both are members Of the, official
board of the First Reformed Church.
The councilmen believe there will be
danger If the wooden sides are con-
structed, and danger If they are not.
If a fire starts in the section it might
spread with the ready fuel offered. and
if the place is not enclosed, some bad
people might find an easy entrance for
stealing coal and chickens. These have
been the arguments presented.
The building law provides against the
wooden sides, but several of the coun-
cilmen are disposed to be lenient in this
particular case.
Mr.. Krauss first spoke of the matter
to Mr.. Condit after a prayer meeting in
the Reformed Church, he said, n be-
N
lieved he received the word to go ahead.
Later, when he had stored in the shed
q large amount of flowers for his
daughters wedding. and when he
thought he should receive only congrat-
ulations, he was given instead an order
from Mr.. Condit to tear down the sides.
He complied.
Mr.. Condit says his only object is to
ascertain whether the council desires to
back him up in making citizens comply
with the ordinances. Mayor Cardwell,
practically every member of the City
Council and Fire Chief William F..
Markwith have been at Washington
place looking over the shed during the
past week, and action is expected at to-
nights meeting. One way of giving Mr..
Krauss relief, 1t has been pointed out, is
to let him put up wire sides in the shed.
