Alfalfa supplies the dairymen and
stockmen with valuable forage and
saves for them a large portion Of the
money annually expended for high
protein feeds. The value of alfalfa
as a feed for all farm animals, in
GLIDING swine and poultry, is so well
known that 1t is unnecessary to speak
extensively OF its merits. No single
forage plant combines the materials
for a profitable ration for dairy cows,
sheep and brood sows so well as does
alfalfa.
The success or failure with alfalfa
depends largely upon the seed. Be-
fore placing an order for seed, sam
pie should be secured from each OF
several good seed houses and germ
nation and purity tests made. Often
seed that looks good will give low
test. Seed that shows a termination
test below 80 per cent. should be re-
garded with suspicion. It's vigor is
seriously impaired, even though it
may Sprout.
For the test, a simple tin plate or
pie tin can be used by placing 1t in
cotton flannel pads, cut to fit the in
side of the plate. These pads should
be soaked in water and then squeezed
in the hand to remove excessive mo1s-
ture. Lay the first pad in the larger
of the tin plates and scatter 100 seeds
on the pad; put the Ga1er pad on
top of the seed and then cover with
the smaller plate to retain moisture.
Plates should be kept at ordinary
room temperature and examined at in
tervals of "a hours. If pads dry out,
sprinkle them with water. If seed is
of high vitality, at the end Of four
DAYS fine vigorous sprouts will be no.
ticeable. The sprouted seed should
be removed at the end Of the fourth
day and the unsprouted seed left at
least two days longer. The germinat-
ing power is expressed in per cent.
Alfalfa will grow on wide varia-
ton Of soil ranging from rich sandy
loan to a heavy clay, but rich clay
loan over a gravelly sub-soil seems
to be best 1t is practically useless
to try to grow alfalfa on sandy or
worn out" soils without an abundant
supply of good barnyard manure.
Sweet clover, an ordinary roadside
weed, which naturally grows to the
height of five or six feet throughout
nearly all the counties in southern
Wisconsin, is one of the essential al
falfa bacteria distributors. When
farmer is in doubt as to whether or
not his land contains the proper bac-
terra he can successfully inoculate
his fields by scattering on them soil
from an old alfalfa field or where
sweet clover has grown. For best re-
suits, two tons of earth per acre
should be scattered Immediately pre-
ceding the sowing Of the alfalfa seed.
For farmers who have not alfalfa
or sweet clover near at hand from
which to get infected soil In large

Gently, and one cannot wonder at his
exclamation: What can l do with
these babies?" as he gazed upon five
tiny prisoners in the dock The

for two months have carried out
thefts and other depredations with
such skill and cunning that for two
months the police and detectives have
been trying in vain to find out who
were the thieves. No fewer than 40
charges were brought against the
children. The 7-year-old child was
the ringleader, and quite an adept at
thieving and planning thefts.

The point has been reached in poul-
try husbandry where 1t is of as much
Importance to place our chickens out
on the range in early summer as 1t is
to turn our dairy cattle out to pasture.
From the standpoint of both healthful-
ness and economy this method Of ran
ging chicks is commendable. Not only
Is the cost of the ration materially de-
creased, but the beneficial exercise
and the opportunities to roam at large
according to their natural habits aid
remarkably in developing the fowl.
The ranging method involves the
use of portable houses which can be
readily moved at will to any part, of
the farm. These houses should be the
ones the birds usually inhabit, as then
they will readily return to them each
night without danger of confusion.
The edge of cornfield or a portion
of the orchard afford excellent loca-
items for summer camping ground of
the poultry settlement. A word on
the prevention of petty thievery
among the flock will be needed in
SOLu0 IOCdllII0S. Inc D0SL cure Is pre-
vention, which in this case is secured
by barring the poultry house doors
and windows with good iron bars.
Then when the chickens go through
the small door to roost in the house at
night, no matter how distant they are
from the farm home, they are pro-
tected against chicken thieves.
Any changes in the ration subse-
quent to transferring the flock to the
range should be very gradual; abrupt
deviations in the character of the
feeds being absolutely prohibitory to
success. Where moist mash has
been fed, this should be gradually
changed to dry mash, SO that in a
short time the birds may constant

amounts, we advise the securing of
soil from some old alfalfa field Scat
ter this on about eight or ten square
rods of the field where it is desired to
SOW the alfalfa seed. The year fol-
lowing the seeding, soil can be taken
from the portion of the alfalfa field
where the infected soil was scattered
and used for the incubation Of larger
areas. Alfalfa responds readily to
these methods of incubation, and
nearly all plants will be found to have
the proper nodules on the roots the
first season of growth.
Good results have been obtained on
both fall and spring plowed lands,
depending upon the texture of the soil
and freedom from weeds. With fall
blowing 1t is well to pillow early so as
to cover weeds before they produce
seed. Double disk in the spring as
soon as the land works well, and put
in garden condition with fine-tooth
harrow. The ground should be heav-
lily spread with barnyard manure be-
fore blowing, using from ten to twenty
tons per acre.
If seeding is done on spring plowed
land, the ground should be heavily
MANFRED during the winter and plowed
in the spring. The fine tooth harrow
should be used within a few hours
after the burrows are turned to pre-
vent drying and hardening of the soil.
If the soil once becomes lumpy 1t is
hard to put in proper condition for
alfalfa seeding. A planker or roller
should be used Immediately before
and after seeding, which aids much in
firming the soil to permit of rapid
termination of the seed. Good results
have been obtained in Wisconsin by
sowing as soon as the ground can be
worked to best advantage.

Incidentally, they also made an
equally abortive attempt to defeat the
passage of the second choice primary
or MARY Ann" bill. of which the per-
centage clause was part. The Mary
Ann" bill, which is one of the most
important of the Republican platform
measures, repeats the 20 per cent.

which the opponents Of the bill still
declared was too high, and after the
defeat of their repeal amendment
they sought to slip in a five per cent.
amendment, but were stopped by OBJ
lection, the bill being up for passage.
This eleventh hour action was the
result Of the first alliance at this ses-
sion between the Democrats and So
cial Democrats, both of whom have
suffered as a party from the old twen-
ty per cent law. The final vote on
the measure was 48 to 81 for passage.

senate bill providing that city and

annual conferences with the state
board of health in Madison for the

The farmer members generally OPP

advanced, &c to SO.
Speaker Charles A. Ingram is will
ing to be autocratic when necessary,
as presiding officer of the lower house,
but refuses to play king, even to the
extent of sitting for a few hours each
day on a throne. In the last consign-
ment of the new furniture for the new
west wing of the capitol was included
an deliberately carved fumed oak chair,
with a back eight feet high, and look
ing very much like the seats OF state
Of the potentates Of Europe, lacking
only the trimmings of precious metal.
Before placing it in its proper place
behind the speakers desk, Sergeant
alarms Irvine called in the speaker,
who took one look at the monstrosity,
sat in it long enough to make mental
comparison with his easy "tip-back"
swivel chair inherited from speakers
past and gone, and then said:
"Never!"
The chair will repose in secluded
corner of the speakers private office
until his successor or his successor
successor shall have determined to
utilize all the majesty that can be
worked out of the massive oak and
leather of the neglected throne.
An increase of eight per cent. in
two years in the number of insane
persons incarcerated in Wisconsin
state and county asylums is shown in
compilation of statistics announced by
the state board of control. Two years
ago the total was 6,156, or one to
every $50 of the population, and on
March 81 of this year it was 6,687, an
increase of sci. Of the latter total,
1879 were in county asylums and $40
in the Milwaukee Hospital for the In
sane at Wauwatosa, which institu-
lions are not under the direct control
of the state.
The census figures issued by the
board of control show that IN all of
the state charitable and penal inst1tu-
lions there were on March 81, 4,O35
inmates, of whom 1,188 were in insane
and 2,847 in the other institutions.

have free access to it. 1t is then only
necessary to replenish the feeding
hoppers once a month.
Unless the range furnishes plenty
of amusement for the flock, it is prac-
teal in the late afternoon to scatter
some cracked corn or wheat among
the leaves and tall grass of the fence
corners in order that the fowl will
have to search and scratch for their
tionally good this grain can also be
fed in the hopper. There is no need
for meat in the ration, as grasshop'
pers and other insects supply all that
is necessary. In case of light grass
hopper crop, little buttermilk or
slimmilk can be advantageously used
in the ration.
Dependent on the condition of the
soil, cultivated or pasture, the number
of chicks per acre varies consider
ably. Where the ground is to be Guilt
waited the following year 500 to 600
birds per acre are not excessive, while
on pasture land not over 100 fowl
per acre should be ranged. 1t is wise
to move the portable houses several
times during the season, especially
on pasture range, as otherwise the
soil around the house becomes too
badly mixed with droppings.
An additional advantage of the edge
of the cornfield for the range Is as re-
CARDS protection it affords against at
tacks by hawks. The type of pasture
range preferred should be in well
drained location, shady in heat of day
yet allowing plenty of sunlight I'd
penetrate the houses and flock for its
germicidal values. Glover or alfalfa
pasture offer ideal range conditions
although any variety of pasture OF
healthful location is satisfactory.

OLD LEON BOY MAKING GOOD.
lied" Hawkins is Chosen Secretary
of Norfold, Neb., Commercial
Llub.

The following notice of the rise
of Ted" Hawkins, who was born
and raised IN Leon, is taken from
the Norfolk, Neb., Daily News, of
May 23rd. Norfolk is one of the
booming cities, and their club en-
ployes a secretary to devote all of
his time to working for the interest
of Norfolk, and they pay him good
salary:
A. w. Hawkins, travelling sales
man for the Bradley, Merriam and
Smith Implement company, was
elected secretary of the Norfolk
Commercial. Club at special meet
| ing held last night.
Mr.. Hawkins was one of about fif-
teen applicants. For several months
the cub directors have been adver-
Using all over the country for a man
to fill the place to which Mr.. Haw-
kins was elected and answers came
from we'll recommended men in
every part of the country.
Mr.. Hawkins has met with the d.
, rectors on several occasions and they
feel that they have secured capable
secretary who will make good in de-
upbuilding of Norfolk.
Mr.. Hawkins was born at Leon,
Iowa, on April 25, 1879. His father
was a prominent business man in
Leon, being engaged in the dry goods
and grocery business.
Mr.. Hawkins attended the Leon
public schools, and at the age of Is
graduated from the Leon High
school. Immediately after gradual
ing, he went to Dixon, ILL.,, where he
entered the Dixon Business College,
graduating from that institution when
20 years old. After graduating he &C.
cepted position in the Office of the
Kingman Implement company at
Omaha and year later resigned to
take charge of one of the Office de-
partments of the Cudahy Packing
company at South Omaha. This po-
sition he retained for three years
when he accepted position with the
David Bradley Implement company.
The firm is now known as the Brad
ley, Merriam and Smith Implement
company and Mr.. Hawkins has been
the firms top travelling salesman
ever since. His firm has written a let
ter recommending Mr.. Hawkins very
highly, and expressing regret at los
ing him. Mr.. Hawkins, however, was
anxious to get "off the road"
Mr.. Hawkins came to Norfolk in
December, 1898, and has since been
making his home at B. T. Reds
rooming house.
Mr.. Hawkins is now secretary of
the Northeast Nebraska Implement
Dealers and Travelling Mems Club.
In all the social meetings of this club
Mr.. Hawkins has been selected toast
master and his ability in that chair
has always been a feature of the
meetings. Mr.. Hawkins has held
every chair in the Order of Odd Eel
lows and is leading member of the
U. T. c. organization.
