EASTERN WAY OF FARMING
Farmers with Those Notions Have
Difficulty in Getting Started
in Alfalfa.

The majority of the new farmers
coming into our section~arc from the
central states and notice that they
bring with them eastern notions Of
farming says writer in Denver Field
and Farm. Consequently in attempt
ing to seed alfalfa they can not get
away from the eastern idea of seed.
ing with nurse crop. The climatic
conditions here are such as to make
entirely unwise the use of eastern
methods. During the spring. while
moisture is abundant, alfalfa may ger
inmate and start off nicely but as soon
as the soil begins to dry the nurse
crop robs the legume of it's moisture,
thereby checking its growth or kill.
ing 1t altogether. Then too these
folks come out here with the idea
that they should seed their alfalfa in
August which is the wrong time in
this country.

The Root Of Altruism.

The three eternal roots OF altruistic
energy are these: First. the principle
OF justice: that there Is a moral law
before which all men are equal. so
that ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second. the principle Of
charity; that | owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man. however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third. the principle OF free will; that
| can really decide to help my neigh
Dor. and am truly disgraced II do not

idea of definite judgment; that ID.
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the

had taken the Hist farther into
the bay, ran into nine armed vessels drawn
up in the form of crescent across the har-
Dor, close in shore, where they were supported
by artillery and large bodies of troops. On
the right of the crescent formation of craft
was a savage looking torpedo boat while a
good sized gunboat guarded the left flank"
Young, Helm and Jungen, for the Wompa-
tuck succeeded in getting into action, fought
this apparently overwhelming force of the en-
envy for an hour and a half completely dis
abled the Spanish torpedo boat put at least
four of the gunboats out of the business, broke
up huge pontoon on which foated a six-inch
smooth-bore gun, caused the Spanish soldiers
supporting the naval force to retreat and won
an absolutely complete victory generally
The American boats did not escape unin-
jured in this action. The Hornet engines
were disabled and the Wompatuck under
Young's order, took her in tow, but disabled
as she was the Hornet stayed in action and
one of its gunners succeeded in putting six
pound shot sQuarey into sloop loaded with
soldiers, all of whom were firing at the crews
of the American vessels. The sloop went to
the bottom and took most of her crew with
her.
In the fight, as has been said, the Spanish
force was greatly superior to that of the Amer.
lean. Young was then only a lieutenant, but
he was in command of three ships and he did
his work well. He was advanced three mum.
Ders for his gallantry in this fight Years be-
fore he had been advanced, as the record
shows, for extraordinary heroism on the oc-
casion OF the wreck of the Huron"
Commander John Baptiste Bernadou, United
States Navy, died recently at the Naval Hos
pital. New York City. The sea service is
mourning the loss of one of its finest sailors.
In May, 1893, Bernadou was engaged in one
OF the hottest naval fights that marked the
Spanish war. 1t was not great AFFAIR like
the battle in Manila bay or that on Santiago.

the wounded officer succeeded in keeping his
ship moving enough to prevent its becoming
a stationary mark for the enemy's guns.
While in this crippled condition the Ameri-
can vessel kept up uninterrupted fire from its
guns and was aided by the fire of the Will
mington and the Hudson. Notwithstanding
the apparent extremity of their case the gun
crews of the Winslow managed to put the
Spanish gunboat entirely out of action with
some weplanted shells, but the shore bat
teries were still in able fighting condition and
they poured in their shot increasingly.
By this time the Winslow was becoming
fairly riddled with shot and Lieut.. Newcomb
in command of the Hudson, Notwithstanding
the fact that his vessel was too frail to hope
to stand against any kind of shell punishment
asked permission to go to the Winslow's aid. 1t
was impossible for the Wilmington to close
in because of the draught and Commander
Todd told Lieut.. Newcomb to do what he
could for the stricken ship
Newcomb took his boat in while the VIII
mington kept up furious fire on the enemy's
works, but failing to silence them during the
time the Winslow and the Hudson were in
their perilous positions. With the shot of the
Wilmington falling into their works and now
and then putting the men of entire battery
out of action, the Spaniards still kept up their
fire on the crafts of Bernadou and Newcomb
The crew of the Hudson after 30 minutes
work with the shells dropping all about them
succeeded in making fast cable to the Grip
pied Winslow and in towing the boat out Of
range During all this time the Winslow's
commanding officer, Lieut.. Bernadou, wounded
as he was and almost fainting from the loss
of blood kept the deck and the command. II

war kind and in the engagement was killed
Ensign Worth Bagley, the only officer of the
American sea service who lost his life in the
conflict with Spain
Early in May, 1898, the Wilmington, Com
mander Todd, the Hudson, Lieut. Neweomb,
and the Winslow Lieut.. Bernadou, sailed into
Cardenas Harbor in search of some Spanish
gunboats which were believed to be anchored
there. Commander Todd being the senior
officer pre- ent, was in command of the little
squadron CT three vessels. In order to pre-
vent the escape of any ships of the enemy he
ordered his two junior commanding officers to
search either side of the bay while he took
his own vessel straight down the middle of
the harbor.
1t happened. however. that the commanding
officer himself first caugl sight of Spanish
gunboat apparently mcored to a wharf on the
water front of tie town. He signaled: "Win-
slow go in and investigate sunboat moored to
wharf, there on right, painted gray"
"Ay, Ay, sir" came the answer and Berna-
dou took the Winslow in.
The Spanish gunboat turned out to be the
Antonio Lopez Bernadou headed for the town
with the Winslow under full speed. When the
boat was at distance of about 1900 yards
from the wharf smoke appeared from the bow
OF the Spanish boat and shell whizzed by
the port side of the Winslow. Instantly con-
cealed land batteries opened on Bernadou's
little torpedo craft. In a minute the Ameri-
can vessel was in the center OF perfect
storm OF projectiles
Bernadou was no laggard in returning the
FIRE of the enemy, but the luck of nature was
over the batteries of the Spaniards >and over
the Antonio Lopez and completely concealed
them from view. It was known afterward
that while the Americans could not see the

When Lucen Young was an ensign he was
assigned to new iron man-of-war called the
Huron. The vessel was bound south from
New York in November, 1877, and when of
Mays Head on the coast of North Carolina it
struck the rocks and in less than an hour the
disaster was complete. 1t was a bitter night
and a tremendous was running. The black
mess shut out the shore view and no one knew
what the landing chances were in case it be-
came possible to put boats through the pound
ing, grinding One boat was launched and
dt was smashed instanter. Then it appeared
to the captain that there was but one chance
to save any part of the crew volunteer was
asked for to attempt to carry life line to the
shore.
The instant that the call came Ensign
Young volunteered to attempt to carry the line
to land. The captain told him that his chance
of life was not one in thousand. Young said:
-"AIl right. I'll 60"
sailor named Williams volunteered to &C.
company Young. The two took what is known
as a balsa, attached to a rope, and making
their way out on spar they dropped into the
seething water The waves beat them back
against the spar and Young was severely
bruised by the contact. He stuck to his task
however. and with Williams succeeded in max
ing Roadway against the fierce assault of the
waves and in escaping death among the storm
beaten rocks. Finally they gained a foothold
upon the sands beyond the roaring surf The
result of their heroism the saving of about
one-third of the Huron's crew. The vessel
went to pieces so quickly that the rescue of all
the crew by means Of the life line proved i'm
possible.
Naval officers believe that Young was born
ucky as well as brave. Four days before the
laval battle of Santiago Rear Admiral Samp-
ION ordered Lieut.. Young. who was in COM

things that no two men in Annapolis were able
to lift. He scored perfect in his physical
animation. but when it came to the study
animation it is veracously related that Young
spelled Europe "Urope"
This Short cut" in his spelling methods
came pretty near being his undoing, but the
academy board had second thought on the
matter and Young became a cadet, a cadet as
smart as whiplash in work and in study, and
lhis classmates were put to it to keep pace
with him

self one way and another ever since the day
he set Theodore Roosevelt a precedent in re-

6hipman he was cruising on one of the old
time wooden warships in the Mediterranean.

bounding clear of the vessel, fell into the sea.
Midshipman Young saw the fall and
an instant later he had cleared the rail and
was in the water swimming Justify to the res
cue. The fall had made the sailor practically
unconscious. He stunned that he made

an inert, heavy burden that Young held above
