The following story on alfalfl
was written by Willard H. DENIM
Of Pecos and is authentic:
! Alfalfa has been planted success
fully nearly every month in the
year; less seed, however, Is required
and probably more vigorous plan,
secured. when 1t Is put In the
ground the last Of August or dur,
ing the month Of September.
Any field that is in reasonably
good condition say for the planting
of wheat Is all right for seeding
alfalfa; the ope important point Is
that II should water evenly and
quickly.
The width between minor sub.
laterals, width Of borders or creases,
etc., are matters that must in a
measure be determined by the class
Of soil, natural grade of the land
and the nature Of the water supply.
One of the best methods of plant
ing is to use a press drill, which has
an alfalfa feeding attachment. The
weight Of the machine is sufficient
to firm the seed well in the ground.
The best time is after a thoro irri-
cation and when the ground has
become firm. 1t is we'll to harrow
disc or use an Acme harrow ahead
of the drill so a dust mulch of about
two inches may be secured, so the
firm soil beneath may be retentive
of moisture, The proper depth
must depend in a measure upon the
nature of the soil; varying from
half an inch to one and one-half
inches.
Supposing this is done in Septem-
ber, no further attention will be
required, unless the ground be-
comes dry enough to call for an
irrigation, until the last of the fol-
lowing May.
The care of this crop after plant
ing is simple and easy; it should
have just enough moisture to keep
it growing freely, and at the point
where a few blossoms appear, or
sooner, II should be clipped with a
moving machine, set rather high.
These clippings, made quite
regardless of the amount of hay
secured, tho this will likely be con-
siderable, should be repeated the
first season to thicken the stand and
make the plant stool out freely;
this important point is often neg
lected.
The alfalfa grower occupies an
enviable position in one marked
respect, !. e.: the continual i'm
provement in the fertility of the
soil, as against the deterioration
occasioned by the long continued
planting of other crops without a
certain rotation.
1t is safe to say, that as against
the average soil, a crop following
alfalfa will easily double in yield;
the supplies of nitrogen it leaves in
the soil. unappropriated to its own
uses, together with the great
depths the roots penetrate, make
for conditions of the highest fertil-
ity.
With proper care the stand
endures for many years. where hay
is the sole product and undue pas.
turing is avoided, hence a well set
field is an investment of the most

The Filial Chinaman.

Many examples of Chinese tilial piety strike the occidental reader as ridicu- lous There is the famouj story of Lao Laitsu, which Mir. E. |. Johnston repeats in his "Lion and Dragon In Northern China" Laos parents lived to such extreme old age that he was, himself a toothlesS old man while they were botA still alive "Conceiv. ing it his duty to divert their atten- ton from their weight of years and approaching erd, he dressed himself up in the clothes of child and played about in his parents presence with the object of making them think they were still young married couple con templating the innocent gambols of their infant son"
 A similar case is that of Wang P'ou, whose mother had an uneonquerable dread of thunder and lightning When she died she was buried in a mountain forest, and thereafter, when a violent thunderstorm occurred, Wang P'ou, needless of the wind and rain, would hurry to her grave and throw himself to his knees. II am here to protect you, dear mother" he would say. Do not be afraid.'

Making a Gunstock.

A party of men were out hunting, and an old woodsman who was with them broke his gunstock in some way or other. It was just about nightfall when the accident occurred, and inas- much as he was very anxious to do some shooting early the next morning he decided to fix up his shooting iron Finding q walnut fence rail, he set to work His only tools were an ax and a big pocket knife. All night long he labored vigorously at his task, and by morning the gunstock was finished and back in place and worked like q charm.
 "IIow did you do it?" asked one of the number. greatly surprised,
 "Nery easy" was this old hunters reply ''No trouble at all. Just get a piece of wood about the size and kind that you want and then whittle away all that you want whittlcd away When you have all the wood cut off that you don't want you have a gun ocll.'-Kansas City Journal

A Good -Sleeper.

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi- nary story of the impassiveness of Louis XVIII. When he was minister of foreign affairs a courier came to him one evening bearing unpleasant news, and he therefore postponed the communication of it to the king till next morning. when he explained that he was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his majesty's sleep. The king replied: Nothing disturbs my sleep, as you may see from this ih- stance. The most dreadful blow of my life was my brothers death. The courier who brought this dreadful news arrived at 8 o'clock in the even- ing. For many hours l was quite overcome, but at midnight I went to bed and slept my usual eight hours" The story is told by the Duchesse de Dino, Talleyrands niece. in her mem- oirs.
