who is spending the summer at the

death by a miracle
The little fellow is but 9 years old.
He was playing and accidentally fell
backwards through the mouth of the
well which was unprotected The well
was narrow and rocky, but the little
fellow got but few bruises in his
periIous descent.
When he was hauled out from the
bottom of the well. his back was badly
sprained and had several painful cuts.
but it is not thought that the Is foot
fall will prove serious.
The escape of the little fellow is
almost miraculous. as there was not
enough water in the well to break
the fall. The we'll was an old one and
had been abandoned for some time.
1t was not properly covered and this
caused the accident.

ALFALFA men MEET.
Shawnee County Growers Discuss
Topics of Mutual Interest.

| Although the out of town speakers
for the occasion failed to materializt
| the meeting of the Shawnee Alfalfa
association this afternoon proved to bt
an interesting one. The general topic
| for consideration was Alfalfa as
| Fertilizer" but in connection with this
the question came up as to whether
alfalfa is a permanent soil enricher OIL
whether it merely acts as a stimulant
| There was general discussion upon
this topic which was entered into gen.
orally by the members of the associa-
ton.
President 1. D. Graham presented
some interesting extracts from an ar
| t1cle prepared by the Illinois expert
ment station which read as follows:
Perhaps the oldest system in connec-
ton with improving the soil was the
falloW, where once in seven years or
oftener the soil was rested. This used
the supply Of plant food less often but
added nothing of permanent value.
Nitrogen can be added to the soil
by the growth of legumes, but where
the legume crop is removed no ap-
preciable amount of nitrogen is added
to the soil by the legume. The in
creased yields of crops following clover,
etc, is generally caused by the effect
of the legumeS in Iberating other ele-
mentS of plant food, rather than by
the addition of nitrogen; but the soil
is more rapidly depleted of it's mineral
clements, and consequently poorer than
before.
TT is impossible to maintain fertility
with manure, provided the manure from
large areas is applied to small areas
No farm can be kept up in fertility
with manure made from products grown
on that farm.
crops. The growth of legumes in a 70
tation is necessary to supply nitrogen,
but no rotation can supply the mineral
elements. In fact the best rotation re-
duceS the supply of mineral elements
only the faster.
.tOn normal soils the only elements
necessary to replace are nitrogen and
phosphorus. Nitrogen must be main
legume for the corn belt is clover, which
should be left on the ground.
"The other element. phosphorus, can
be secured in no other way but to buy
it'd In its cheapest from it costs to 4
cents a pound. There are IL pounds
In 100 bushels of corn. About 80 cents
per acre annually would restore the
phosphorus"
President Graham was in receipt of
q half dozen letters from various states
in answer to INQUIRIES in regard in
connection with alfalfa a fer
tilizer and whether or not it acts per-
manently as a fertilizer or more as
Stimulant.
A letter from Prof. Ed Webster of
K. S. A c., was read in full, but none
of the writers were able to answer the
question definitely as to whether alfalfa
acts as merely a stimulant.
A letter from C. W. Pugsley, head of
the department of farm management of
the NebraSka state experiment station
read in part:
IT am very glad indeed to learn that
YOU have an alfalfa club. 1t is new
idea to me. Why don't you make
movement to extend your club to other
districts in your state as wen as to
other states?
From data at hand. which is not ex-
Deriment station data, however, it would
seem that alfalfa in rotation is much
more profitable than any of the other
cloVerS."

STILL GOING DOWN.
Stocks Are Unable to Escape the
Hartman Influence.

New York, Aug .2S.-The con-
ficting rumors concerning the health
of Mr.. Hartman found their reflec-
ton in a very irregular opening of
the stock market today. The Harri-
man stocks were the most con-
spicuous feature with loss of Ia
points in Union Pacific and 1 in
tive issues ran from 1 to IL points.
Soon after the opening Union Pa
cific made a further fractional de-
cline, placing it below the low figure
of last Thursday. There was some
pressure upon United States Steel
common, but market improvements
as a, whole were rather confusing
Some disposition was manifest today
to shake off the influence of Mr.. Har-
rimans health and to consider rather
the condition of his properties.
Soon after the hour fresh selling
movement appeared in the Hartman
stocks which sent Union Pacific

Congratulations
To Recorder Johnson.

The Journal congratulates Record
er Johnson upon his new policy in
dealing with the stray stock nuisance.
A few such fines as he has just i'm
posed is all that will be necessary to
put a stop to the prevailing practice
of many stock owners in letting their
cattle roam at large to the ruination
OF flowers. trees, lawns and private
premises generally.
People who have no higher con-
ception of the rights of their neign-
bOrs than 20 think that their cattle
may run with impHnity over a neigh
boris lawn and garden, destroying in
some cases the labor OF years and
doing damage that no money can
recompense-such people deserve the
limit of the law. and The journal is
glad to note that Recorder Johnson
IS getting tired of their continual
violations.
The Journal ventures to predict
that half dozen fines of $500 each
ON the first half dozen violations OF
the stock law that occur would put
practically an absolute stop to the
whole business.
