Life 100000 Years Ago.

Scientists have found in a cave in
Switzerland bones of men, who lived
100, 900 years ago, when life was in con-
slant danger from wild beast. To-day
the danger, as shown by A. w. Brown
of Alexander, Me-, is largely from dead
ly disease. IF it had not been for DR..
Kings New Discovery, which cured me,
I could not have lived" he writes suf-
fering as did from severe lung trouble
and stubborn cough" To cure sore
lungs, colds, obstinate coughs, and
prevent pneumonia, it's the best med
icine on earth. SOC and $1.OO. Guaran-

DEMOCRATIC FINANCIERING.

Under Gov. Dockery and a Demo
cratic administration the outstanding
bonds of Missouri were paid off and
burned. At the close of four years of
Folk Missouri faced deficit OF 81, ,5OO,-
600. Under Hadley we are looking
into a deficit of $3,000,000. This
may be glad news to the people who
turned down the Democratic candidate
for governor, but we doubt it. Under
Democratic rule Missouri paid her
debts and had money in her pockets.
1t is not so today. Rails County Rec
ord.
The above is a sample of the kind of
newspaper criticism in which leading
Democtatic editors are indulging to-
ward the present Republican admins
tration. The truth is that under Dem
ocratic rule the state bonds were re-
tired and burned only after the state
school fund had been converted into an
everlasting debt instead of an interest
bearing asset, and thar Governor Had
ley has so managed the state finances
! in the first six months of his admins
tration as to guarantee the payment OF

shows, however, that while business
conditions in this country have been
far below normal, yet in our inceased
purchases to the extent of one hund-
red million, we have been much bet
ter off than the countries abroad. In
fact one item of imports shows that we
have increased our purchase
OF diamonds to the extent of
over ten millions, in spite of the fact
that our purchasing power has been
greatly decreased because of the idle
ness of millions of laborers. Of course
1t IS not the wage earners of the coun-
try who buy diamonds, yet it is the
product of these wage earners who
provide the profits for those who do in
dulge In luxuries. It is very evident
then that the so-called panic of 1907
has almost wholly spent itself, and that
as soon as the tariff law has been
signed by the President, there will be
resumption of business, which, it is
expected, will equal or exceed that
preceding the depression of two years
ago.
The predictions made in the early
part of the present session by the Dem
ocrats who thought that the Reyubli-
can party was going to be so rendered
assunder as to lose the election next
year and in 1912 have ceased entirely
and the Democratic leaders are almost
soicitous as to what sort of showing
they can make by their party, which
is more divided than at any time in
its history.
1t is now confidently believed that
the Republican majority in the next
House will be considerably larger than
in the present, and it is also fully be-
lieved that Mr. Taft will be elected to
succeed himself by larger popular
and electoral vote than he received in
1908.

Sees Mother Grow Young.

II would be hard to overstate the
wonderful change in my mother since
she began to use Electric Bitters, writes
Mrs. WI. Gilpatrick of Danforth, Me.
Although past 70 she seems really to
be growing young again. She suffered
untold misery from dyspepsia for 20
years. At last she could neither eat,
drink nor sleep. Doctors gave her up
and all remedies failed till Electric
Bitters worked such wonders for her
health" They invigorate allvital organs
cure liver and kidney troubles, induce
sleep, impart strength and appetite.

Methods of Seeding Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is crop the Missouri farmer
is leaning to grow. The soils lbest
adapted to i = - rto-l e+the bot
tom lands that are we'll drained and the
most fertile uplands. It is useless tc
attempt to grow it on wet land and
lands that are low in fertility. It may
be grown on practically all well drained
uplands of medium fertility with prop
er attention to manuring and methods
of handling, but one must understand
the peculiarities of the plant to make
a success with it on such lands.
The Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station has been conducting ex-
periments with alfalfa for a number OF
years both at Columbia and in num-
Der of localities in various parts of the
state and from the results of these ex-
periments it is able to give the follow
ing concise directions regarding the
handling of the crop.
First. On uplands the best time to
SOW alfalfa is almost invariably in late
summer or early fail, from the 18th of
August to to the 18th of September
being best. On rich bottoms or very
fertile uplands spring sowing may give
as good and frequently better results.
Second. The ground should be
plowed deep as early in the summer
as possible and kept well worked down
by frequent narrowing until time to
SOW. One of the best crops to pre-
cede alfalfa is clover, blowing i'm
mediately after harvesting the first crop.
Late blowing leaves the ground too
loose and causes the plants to freeze
out.
Third. Practically all uplands need
inoculation with the nitrogen fixing
bacteria which inhabit the roots of
alfalfa. Bottom lands usually contain
these bacteria. Inoculation is best ac-
complished by scattering on the land
from 200 to 400 pounds per acre of
soil from an old alfalfa field and har-
rowing Immediately.
Fourth The seed should be strong
in termination and free from weeds
or dodder and it should be sown at the
rate of Is to 20 pounds per acre on a
we'll prepared seed bed without a
nurse crop and lightly narrowed in.
Fifth. If the land is of only med
ium fertility it will be necessary to ap-
ply from 8 to ID tons of manure per
acre to insure a stand and to bring a
sufficient yield to make the stand pre-
fitable.
Sixth. If the grass is troublesome
it may be controlled by cultivating the
land after the second and third cutting
with dull spring tooth harrow or with
a disc set at a moderate angle, follow
ing with drag harrow. There is lit
tie danger of injuring the alfalfa by
such cultivation and the result will be
a more thrifty growth of the plants and
the control Of the grass.
Seventh. It is always best to begin
with a small area of alfalfa, rarely over
five acres, and learn to handle he
crop before attempting large areas.
