SECOND TRIAL.

SECOND TRIAL.
Between August Sth and 11th. 1905,
| L seeded Il acres TO a mixture OF
mamoth clover, alsike. timothy. and
alfalfa at the rate OF six quarts to the
acre, The soil varied from the light
est sand TO heavy white clay. There
was some musk, some mari, and some
gravel. On the mari and muck spaces
the alfalfa soon died except where
there was much sand. On the clay
and gravel spots. It. far outgrew all
the other seeds sown with it, showing
above all other plants at haying time
for the other grasses. This continues
to date, 1909.
THIRD TRIAL.
From June lst to 9Th, 1906 seeded
20 acres more TO alfalfa alone, sowing
twelve quarts, twenty-four pounds. to
the acre of inocculated seed, treated
with the government culture obtained
from Washington according to in
structiOns for its use. Apparently
every seed grew and prospered. had
to NOW it twice that season, as did
parcel one in 1902. The soil of this
20 acres, was very variable. containing
spaces OF red clay. white clay, white
sand. sandy loan, clay loan. and
gravel. 1t is still doing we'll in all
parts OF the field, except in one small
spot, that is too wet for 1t. / inspect

portions Of the field would naturally

and other parts entirely bare. 1t

and this. although forty head of cettle
were pastured on it. When | sold
my farm In July, 1907, the crops on
the meadows were appraised at 81 $50,
or an average of sl4 per acre, testi-
monia TO the value OF alfalfa. Most
Of the meadows were In fair condition

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Washington is just taking the lead of the coast states
in favorable action women's suffrage. 1t is probable
that the amendment will be authorized this session
The woman SufraglstS of California mustered ~ votes
for woman suffrage constitutional amendment, when
vote taken in the assembly Sacramento and there
were only 81 votes against it. The thus had a
straight majority, but under the rules two thirds
jorty required and therefore they lost. The pro-
posed amendment will not be submitted, and the voters
of the state will not be asked allowed to vote upon it.
All of ought to be willing to concede that this is
important subject, at least to Women affected
by laws made by Women must be governed and
taxed and otherwise managed by laws made by 1t
is admitted everywhere and without argument, that
women-wives, mothers and daughters-are the chief
victims of the Saloons gambling institutions and other
forms of vice. the regulation of which is entirely in the
hands of voters, the So it is not to be wondered
at that there women who demand the right to
vote and demand that right with vigOr and persstency
1t is probably true that not only every state, but every
city in the country with population of than 49,
600, has an active woman suffrage organization.
But still the most important question of all in this
nectiOn remains unanswered The question is, Do the
women themselves really want to vote? Would the major
Iy OF them decide if test ballot is taken?
In this connection it is to be remembered that there is
an organization of women back east whose earnest bust
ness it is to oppose suffrage Every important
from this organization, and these publications
warmly antagonstic to equal suffrage any of the
publications the other side.
What the facts? Do the ma jority of thinking wives
and mothers want the right to the polls and to votes
That is the first question that should be answered and
answered fairly
This question could only be fully answered by actual
test ballot, test ballot cast at regular polling places
polling places located in tents, fire engine houses barns
and vacant store private house cellars to which
go The mere circulation of petitions to be
signed by at their homes after chat and perhaps
cup of tea would not fully answer the question

BUTTON CRAZE

THE SENATE, LINCOLN, AND THE PEOPLE.

Abraham Lincoln not good enough for the United
States senate.
At least that the decision of the legislature Of
Illinois.
The people of Illinois thought Lincoln would make a
good senator. After listening to joint debate between
Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, they took vote on
which the better Lincoln had 1000 more votes
than Douglas.
But the legislature elected Douglas.
Two years later Douglas held Lincoln s hat while the
latter inaugurated president of the United States

suspecting him, had drawn the

He suffered himself to be carried

He stopped into the bushes, NUT

knife of hideous sharpness. In
