Catching Sea Birds.

An ingenious way of catching birds
Is practised In the Orkney islands.
There Is a large white bird who trav-
els with an irregular and heavy
flight. again and again rising and
taking a tremendous plunge into the
blue depths of the ocean. where 1t re-
mans out of sight for tho space Of 15
seconds or SO. This bird is the gan
net or solan goose. and 1t Is the only
aquatic bird that takes Its prey by
headlong diving. The willy Orcadian
takes advantage Of the birds peculiar
plunglng habit by painting the por-
trait of a herring on piece Of plank
and weighting 1t just sufficiently to
keep 1t the right distance under the
water. This ingenious counterfeit Is
placed in a part of the sea infested by
gannets. and presently along comes a
bird whose sharp eye quickly detects
what he supposes to be fine fat her.
ring. Away up he flies until he has
reached a sufficient altitude to enable
him to make a successful dive upon
his prey. Down, down he comes
straight as plummet, and the sea Is
churned into foam all around where
he has entered it But, alas! he
never rises more. poor bird His
sharp beak Is firmly imbedded in the
piece Of timber. and his neck IL
broken.-London Telegraph.

ton of tuberculosis estimates that
tho annual cost to the country for the
treatment Of these persons would BE-
$50 .000. 900 at the rate Of $1.669 per

SOWING OF ALFALFA
important to Have Field In Best
Possible Condition.
Experience Has Shown That From
Eight to Twelve Pounds OF Seed
to Acre 10 sufflclent-How
Treated on Dry Farm.

When putting In crop that is 10
be irrigated, 1t Is important to have
the field in the best possible cond''
ton and leveled thoroughly In order
to expedite the flow of water later on.
Make the lateral bitches before the
crop Ia planted and then SOW between
the bitches In order that no seed Will
get into them and cause the plants 10
come up and interfere with irrigation.
Sow the seed rs early as possible
after the bed has been we'll prepared
at the rate of from eight to twelve
pounds of seed to the acre. Common
practice is to use twenty pounds. but
experience has shown this to be more
than Is necessary. SO that eight 10
twelve pounds of seed are now regard
ed as quite sufficient.
AS such weed seeds as dodder'
sweet clover and narrow leaved plant
ain are likely to be mixed In with the
alfalfa seed. 1t is important to get
samples from the dealers and have
them examined to determine the
amount of weed seeds. These samples
can also be tested to determine their
termination. Simply place several
hundred OF the seeds In moistened
cloth or paper and keep moist Tor
five to seven days. AS this will supply
all the conditions OF termination the
seeds will sprout II they possess the
vitality essential to growth.
Difference Of opinion exist concern
ing the advisability Of sowing alfalfa
with or without nurse crop. Diner
ent growers have been successful In
establishing a stand under both sys-
TENS. II nurse crop Is used. some
thing that does not lodge easily like
oats or spring wheat ought to be
chosen and an amount Of seed smaller
than is generally used should be plant
ed. In the case Of oats. sixty pounds
of seed to the acre will be sufficient
A point recommended by some sue
cessful growers is to SOW bronze grass.
or blue joint. around the bitches in
places where the crop Is not likely to
be cut. This will furnish fan pasture
and will be better than alfalfa. II the
alfalfa is seeded without a nurse crop.
It ought to be cut back after 1t Is up
six or eight inches. Do not rake the
hay of the field. but leave It lying
thero to protect the young root
crowns. The cutting back will tend
to kill the weeds and cause the alfalfa
to root more deeply.
When seeding alfalfa on dry farm.
It is important that the land be sum.
mer fallowed the previous year in or
der that moisture may be accumulated.
Sow the alfalfa as early as possible
and do not use a nurse crop. Cut
the crop back as soon as 1t has made
a growth of six or eight inches. the
same as on an irrigated field. 1t is
good prictise to disk alfalfa fields
occasionally in the spring as soon as
they are dry enough in order to ad-
init air to the roots and to conserve
the moisture by stirring up the sur
face soil.

FALL SEEDING OF ALFALFA
Disk Harrow Frequently Can Be Used
to Good Advantage Where Weeds
and Grass Get q Start.

For fall seeding Of alfalfa land
should be plowed In July and the
seed bed must be made fine enough so
as to allow the PARTICLES Of soil to
come directly In contact with the seed.
This work can be accomplished by
an ordinary float or roller to compact
the soil. followed with a smoothing
harrow or acme harrow 80 that a light
surface mulch may be formed for the
conservation OF the soil moisture.
The Oklahoma station finds that q
disk harrow can be frequently used to
good advantage. especially on fields
where small weeds and grass get a
start. This machine should not be
worked promiscuously late in summer
for the reason that It stirs the soil
deeply. forming heavy mulch on the
surface and preventing a perfect ger.

Carrying Plague From Rats.

Egyptian or rat fleas had been
spread all over the warm countries Of
the world by the rats which they wor-
ry and ride. 1t has been proved that
man feas and cat feas can carry
plague. but not so strong or deadly as
the rat flea's plague. One fea's stom-
ach and gizzard hold 5000 plague
germs, where germs can further grow
and keep alive for Is days, but after
IL days white blood cells In the rats
or fleas blood kill the plague germs.
F1eas suck the rats blood. and SO get
white cells from the rats. Both rats
and fleas become SO charged that the
plague stops owing to immunity.

FARM NOTES.

Good meal is bright yellow In color.
Never forget that evaporation Is q
cooling process.
BY cutting hay at the right stage 1t
Is not only more palatable. but more
nutritious.
Cultivate corn often to save soil
moisture Is advised by the Minnesota
experiment station.
Narrowing corn Is not recommended,
but If farmers persist In this practise
1t should be done when the corn Is
dry.
The formation OF new colonies
should ordinarily be confined to the
season when bees are accumulating
honey.
Haphazard farming is out Of the
question in these days. The man that
does not make his plans will not make
anything.
The time to cut clover and orchard
grass for winter forage for COWS in
milk is Just when the blossoms COM
menco to turn down.
A combination of two grains will
produce faster gains than the exclusive
feeding of either one. even II they are
equally efficient alone.
Put the hen manure in a dry place.
It will be worth something then. Ma
nure that has been wet and all leached
out isn't worth anything to speak Of.

zona writing to the forest service Of

It is expected that the campaign

LEvELING LAND FOR ALFALFA
Waste Of Money to Seed Poorly Treat
ed soIi-Mueh Caro- Needed Be-
Water 10 Turned On.

The unframed eye Is q gay deceiver
as one may find out when he looks
over an apparently smooth piece OF
ground that is to be leveled for alfalfa.
When the surveyors level comes into
use 1t shows many Irregularities.
These rough places should be leveled
away. for 1t is a foolish waste to
seed poorly leveled land. Before level
ing plow or cross-disk the ground
lightly, merely enough to fuss up the
surface so that 1t will incorporate we'll
with the fresh soil laid on 1t in the lev
cling and checking. The spots that
have been scraped OF should have
some fine manure or corral scrapings
put on them. This is also good way
to work in some alfalfa bacteria by
using manure from alfalfa fed ami
mails. The manure used will need to
be worked over with fork until the
finer parts are left. Cover the scraped
parts with the manure and disk 1t in.
When this Is all on plow the land
deeply and harrow and cross.harrow
until a fne seed bed has been formed.
II 1t rains during this time 80 much
the better. but keep the harrow going
until the surface Is smooth and loose.
Line out the burrows and have the
headgates numbered one. two. three.
four and SO on, as they come into use
in irrigating the field. 1t Is then easy
to send a man or boy out to open
number so or SO. When the highest
burrows are filled with water the In.
flow can be stopped and the extra Sec
ton irrigated in regular order.

Variety Of Eeed Best.

AS regards the feed, variety
should be sought. Birds fed on one
kind of grain exclusively will not lay
as satisfactory eggs as those that have
been fed for several sorts. War must
be made against all insect pests. So
many good and practical methods
have been found that there is really no
excuse for harboring these drains up
on our poultry income.
