(Ry United Press Leased Wire.)
ATLANTA, Ca. July a.
Chief OF Police Duffy OF Leary
today has bullet hole in the lobe
of his right ear and Sheriff Glenn
of Wilcox county and several busi-
ness men of this city are under
arrest, as the aftermath of a
poker game alleged to have taken
place In the st. Nicholas hotel in
this city.
The game, II Is said, had been
in progress for several hours and
Chief Duffy was losing heavily.
An extraordinarily large jackpot
lay on the table, and the chief
held a dead mans hand" He
bet, was raised, and called. When
the showdown came, the chief
found he was Just nosed out, and
became more than angry.
1t is alleged that Duffy declared
he had been cheated, and after
sweeping the pot into spacious
coat pocket, made for the door.
1t was then that bullet, alleged
to have been fired by Sheriff
Glenn, split his ear and brought
him to a sudden halt. Officers
hearing the shot, entered the room
and captured the players.

ENGINEER WILL TACKLE
QUEER BUILDING
ORDINANCE

The new building ordinance,
which is as long rs the moral law
and more complicated, was re-
ferred to the city engineer last
night by the council.
The city attorney gave his opin-
ion that it was poorly drawn, and
he questioned some of its provi-
sions anyway. Now the city engi-
neer will tackle 1t.
AS drawn, the ordinance will
have a tendency to make 1t more
burdensome for home-builders.
Whether they want to or not,
they will have to hire an archi-
tect to make plans for every lit
tie $4,000 house they build. Now,
a lot of people who know what
they want have their own plans,
and hire their carpenters to do
the work.
The ordinance also proposes to
limit the height of buildings. Some
buildings already planned for Ta-I
coma could not be built If this
ordinance goes through as drawn.
They are too big.

HERE'S new JOB
FOR SOMEONE

Here's good job for somebody.
Councilman Bell says it is already
spoken for by Mr.. Kennedy, who
used to solicit for the gas COM
pany. But, anyway, the city coun-
Gil last night passed an ordinance
creating a new job as solicitor for
the city light, heat and power
business.
The city is going after bust
ness. With a first-class electric
plant. 1t Is going to show the peo-
pie that it can cook their meals,
light their dark ways and run
their washing machines and fac
tories cheaper than the gas man,
the coal man, the wood man or
the steam engine fellow.
The solicitor will get 500 a
month. If he does not make good
he'will be buncoed-unless he gets
such a pull in the council that he
cannot be.

SOIL BENEFITED
BY ALFALFA CROP
Three or Four Cuttings Durin2
Season Enriehes Il.

When n plant furnishes an abundant
crop. such as alfalfa. with three or
four cutting during n single season, 1t
is but natural to think that II will
greatly exhaust the soil. Nothing is
more erroneous. Instead Of taking
strength away from the soil IL puts
more into II; instead OF exhausting 1t.
the fertility is increased. The pene-
trating powers Of alfalfa roots are
well known. The roots are constantly
growing and decaying. thus adding to
the "humus" of the soil. The strongest
point in favor of alfalfa as a soil i'm
proyer it its remarkable nitrogen
gathering ability. The roots OF al
falfa are full of the small nitrogen
tubercles which represent bottled up
vitality to plant life and II has been
proven by frequent experiments that
increased yields were the rule when
paintings of any kind of crops had
been made on ground infected with nj
trogen bacteria.
Under these circumstances the
spread OF Alfalfa fever" Is no wonder.
With splendid crops OF highest priced
hay on top of the ground. with the
roots working as perfectly natural fer
tilizers under the ground. farmers can
do nothing better than to plant alfalfa.
The truth of this statement may be
realized and verified IL one but takes
time to look up statistics and reads
about the marvellous increase in the
acreage OF alfalfa. In Kansas alone
the acres sown to alfalfa increased
from approximately $4,000 acres in
1891 to more than $4,000 acres in
1907. 1t is safe to say that since then
the acreage has increased in proper
ton. and other states are falling in
line.-A. Kruhm.

SILAGE PROPERLY

May BE Expensive.

Silos have been abandoned in many
cases because the milk became so
badly tainted as to become unsalable.

which is taken up very quickly by
milk. II silage Is fed before milking
the milk is quite certain to become
tainted. If the milk is allowed to stand
n few minutes in the barn after milk
ing and silage is fed while the cans
are standing around. the milk will be
tainted.
II the stable is not ventilated or is
poorly ventilated the silage odors will
linger in the stable and taint the milk.
In an unventilated stable the stable it.
self will in time become saturated or
permeated with the silage odor and
will taint the milk, no matter how the
silage is handled.
The corn is frequently cut into the
silo too green. which makes very sour
silage, with a strong odor. The silage
is frequently carelessly handled In the
stable: 1t is scattered through the
alleys and allowed to remain on the
floors. In such instances the stable
will be scented with the silage and
the milk will be tainted.
II good results are expected from
silage 1t must be properly handled in
the stable. First, silage must be fed
only after milking. Second, the floors
must be kept clean and no silage
allowed to accumulate in the alleys.
Third. there should not be more
silage fed than the stock will clear up
at once. Fourth. the stable must be
well ventilated. Fifth. corn should
not be cut in too green. Sixth. don't
feed moldy silage.
From the foregoins II will b. seen
that silage must be more carefully
handled than ordinary roughagt. One
cannot throw silage around IS he
might straw or hay and get satisfac-
tory results.
Silage properly put UP and properly
fed Is a very cheap and most excel
lent feed.-Prof q. v. Knapp.
