BuIl.tiD On Alfalfa

The Importance of alfalfa to Western
farmers cannot well be overestimated.
A single ton of alfalfa may save the
lives of many head of stock by provid-
ing feed during short periods of cold,
stormy weather Alfalfa cannot be ex-
celled as preparatory crop on soils
that haye long been unproductive. Like
wise it maintains the fertility Of soils
naturally rich i'll plant food, and if used
as base of rotation makes possible
abundant crop yields of various kinds.
Notwithstanding it's present import
ance and great value in irrigation farm
ing, the profits on the area now in al
falfa can be greatly increased if more
care and skill are exercised in growing
lit.
Perhaps the most essential conditions
for the production of alfalfa are abund-
ant sunshine, high Summer tempera-
ture, sufficient moisture, and a rich,
deep we'll drained soil. All of these
essentials, save moisture, exist natural
ly in the arid region of the United
States, and when water is supplied it
makes the conditions ideal. Although
alfalfa can be successfully grown under
wide range of soil conditions, yet all
Western lands are not equally we'll
adapted to it's growth.
How to determine the suitability Of
land for growing alfalfa under irriga-
ton, as well as how to prepare the land,
is told in Farmers Bulletin 1878, ''Irriga-
ton of Alfalfa" recently issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The bulletin discusses the various
methods of irrigating the crop and gives
much useful information in connection
Herewith.

RUYs a NV CLOCK
Shows False Economy Of
.<eeping old One Too Long.

"At last" SAT- Quillback, 1--WE
have bought ock, and good
ness knows w. it.
THE old cl small, round,
nichel-plated ar we had had
for some yea: III the course of
time it began CIV signs of wear.
But we hated > 20 10 the expense OF
new clock as long as we could make
that one do, SO we kept it, shaking her
up most every day for something like
year until finally 1t got to be so tire
some that we mustered up courage
and bought new clock
And then did little figuring. In
the course Of year 1 had spent an
average Of five minutes day shaking
up that old clock on, say, 800 days,
making, to save the cost of a new
clock, gross total of time spent
amounting to 1900 minutes. You d.
vide this by 10 and you find that had
spent in shaking up that blessed old
clock little more than Is hours!
Now, in the way of income, you
know, 1 don't pretend to class up with
the Rockefellers and Carnegies and
.that sort of folks. but figuring my
earning capacity on the modest basis
of so cents an hour find that have
spent in shaking up that miserable old
ticker time to the value of $126O! And
the new clock cost only 60 cents!
"Of course, buying the new clock
when we did instead of year sooner,
we saved the wear on it in that
period, and if we count the life of
such clock at say ten years we find
that we Lave thus saved about seven
cents worth of wear on the new clock,
and this, properly, of course, should be
deducted from the $3.50, but even at
that, in the best showing possible we
find that to save 60 cents we have met
with net loss of $1243, to say moth
ing of the wear and tear on us caused
by the aggravation of having to shake
the old clock up every day and make
1t go!
I'VE had been, as in so many ways
we are prone ID be, penny wise and
pound foolish, but wc are learning
wisdom and we haven't got TO shake
the old clock up any more, anyway"

ORIGINAL ESTIMATE TOO LOW

The Panama Canal will cost more
than twice as much as the original
estimate made in 1902. At the time it
was thought that the work could be
done for $144, 283, 1853 Chief Engineer
Goethuls now puts the figure at 1915,
90, 200. Colonel Goethals, in the
annual report of the canal commission,
gives some reasons for the increase, to
wit:
Prosperous conditions in the United
States, combined with the unsavory rep
u5atlon that the tsthmus had regard
ing it's healthfulness made it necessary,
in order to secure labor, to increase the
wage scales from 80 to 60 per cent over
those paid in the United States for
similar classes of work Certain gratu-
tiles as additional inducements were
offered, which in the main have since
been continued Moreover, the pro-
yisi )ns of the eight-hour law were
made applicable to the Isthmus. t
THE unit prices were therefore
materially increased. Various changes
nIu also Deen maze In Gne auOpGeu
plan, increasing the quantity of work
to be done. In addition, MOI e detailed
surveys and plans than were originally
available had been made and the work
had progressed sufficiently to give re-
liable data relative to unit cost. This
enabled Il revised estimate to be prepar-
ed and submitted to hearing before
the committee of appropriations of the
House of Representatives in February,
1909.
"The estimate shows that nearly so
per cent more work if necessary in
order to complete the canal than was
contemplated by the original estimate
and that the unit prices, due to labor
conditions, cost of materials and gratu-
tiles given the employees, have been in
creased about 20 per cent. The estimate,
as prepared. shows that the total cost
of engineering and construction alone
sums up to 1927, 7G6, 900; to which, if the
purchase price and the estimated cost
of sanitation and civil government be
added, there results the sum of 1915,
POI, 900 as the total cost of the canal"

GOOD ADVICE FROM 4 PRIZEFISHTES

Most of us know who James J. Jet- fries is. He is a powerful young boil crmaker who some ten years ago won fame and fortune by winning the rugiHstic championship of the world from Robert Fitzsimmons. Since then he defeated all corners and at last retired because no one was left to fight him. Now he is preparing to r,-enter the ring and wrest the laurea from the brow of the dusky champion Johnson.
 Jetfries was given phenomenal strength by birth; he has retained it by judicious training and wise living. Recently he was asked by a reporter wha. advice he would give to boys. The following interview should be read and needed. not alone by boys. but by every man who has any de- sire for firm muscles and clear head
 I'd give a boy or anybody else the same advice that his mother would siy- him. But the trouble is that boys think they know more than their mothers and fathers, and when they find out that they don't. it is too late. Every young man ought to have sense enough to know that it he uses Up strength amusing himself, knockin around and dissipattng. he cannot have that strength to do anything else.
 Every little boy that smokes a cigarette may be perfectly sure that he is doing his best to make himself no account. | don't care whether he wants to be a big fighter like me or just an ordinary man that makes his living in some one of the dull. ordinary ways. Cigarette smoke ruins a boys lungs. so that he could not be fighter if he wanted to, once it gets a hold on him. And the same cigarette smoke poison hurts a boys brains. so that he can not use lis brains we'll. either.
 Do you suppose I'd have this chest on me if I had had a box Of cigaret- tes in my pocket when I was a boy?
 What I tell you about cigarettes for boys is true about all other fool iSh things that boys and young men do. whether they drink whiskey or sit up at night. or dissipate in any ether way.
 "A boy is born with a certain a. mount of strength. He has got to keep that and add to it by living in the way he ought to live. The best thing he can do is Co mind his mo- ther. She knows what is good for hi and the boy that thinks she doesn't, is a fool"
