four inches apart for the rows. Plant

four inches apart for the rows. Plant
the seed in these bitches. cover
slightly, and then before winter sets
in cover the plants at least three
inches with dirt. The next spring,
after the plants are well sprouted,
should level the field. Now the
plants are protected against cold and
heat. and the field is in such shape
that it can be disiled after every
crop. This will keep the soil loose
and conserve the moisture. ! feel
that by this method of procedure it
will be possible to raise large seed
crops.
Nature taught me this lesson, when
in the summer of 1909 a portion of
my field was flooded by the high
water from the Cheyenne river.
The alfalfa was in bloom and ready
to cut for hay. The water was very
muddy and deposited from six to
eight inches of salt. I thought my
IACiN W do uluGu. Ills year WQS0 the
late frost came which was so harm
full to alfalfa fields, all of my alfalfa
froze down. The covered crop of
alfalfa came up and made splendid
crop of hay and later a good crop OF
seed But in that part of the field
which did not receive the silt cover
ing the summer before was left in
a sockly condition. The drouth came
and the field did not even make one
crop of hay worth cutting.
Another advantage of having the
crown of the plant covered is the
possibility OF pasturing it Without
any harmful effect.
In conclusion l will state that any
land which will grow two crops of
alfalfa will pay the owner ten per-
cent on from one to two houndred
dollars per acre, no matter whether
you raise seed or use it for hogs
and raise pork for the market.

GERM PROOF WATER AND
LONG LIVED OFFICIALS

Washington, Feb. s. If pure wa
ter has anything to do with longev-
ity, and if all of the hundred and
one varieties of aqua consumed by
the officials of the government de-
partments are germ proof, the SER
vice is destined eventually to become
famous for it's crop of centenarians.
The tiny microbe against which
DR.. Harvey H. Wiley, of pure food
fame, has waged such strenuous war
fare may be regarded with more or
less unconcern by majority of the
people of the national capital, but
so far as governmnt officials are
concerned, the warnings of the doc
tor. particularly those regarding i'm
pure water, have been hearkened to
with unparalleled earnestness.
But while all these officials can
and do discuss learnedly, at the
slightest provocation on "H-2-O,'
each persists in using his own par
ticular brand. Every room has its
bottled liquid and every bottle bears
a label of a different spring. Every
official declares that his brand, and
his alone, is the genuine germ proof
article. and that his fellow officials
might just as we'll drink the muddy
waters of the Potomac as far as
health giving properties are concern
ed, as the brands they use.
Arguments on water are frequent
at all the departments, and invaria-
bly, they end with all parties con-
WINGED that everyone else is stub
born. One thing seems certain. The
departmental water trade will never
| be cornered.

NEW PROBLEM REVEALED
BY McCURDY'S FLIGHT
Means Must he Provide for Lifting
Aeroplanes to Ship Without
Hurting Machinery.

Washington, February S.-A new
problem in the advancement of the
utility of the aeroplane as an ad.
junct to the navy in warfare has re-
vealed itself to naval officers who
studied the circumstances of Aviator
McCurdy's attempted flight from Key
West to Havana.
When the aviator was obliged to
descend, and alighted on the water
his aeroplane being sustained on the
surface by pontoons, it was simple
mater for the boats from the torpe.
do destroyer to pick him up. Blu,
when the attempt was made to raise
the machinery from the water tc
the deck, difficulties were encounter.
ed which resulted in badly batterins
the biplane 1t followed that the
machine was rendered useless and il
was impossible for the aviator to re
sumo his flight from the deck. Hac
the machine been brought aboard I'M
injured, this would have been quite
feasible, as a platform had been con
structed on the deck of the Pauldins
for this very purpose.
Naval officers consider that un
less aeroplanes can be raised from
the water without damage, their use
fulness will be cut in half. Conse
quently attention is now being give1
to the devising of some means to &C
complish this end.
The experience with McCurdy'
machine, which has bamboo frame
is taken as an argument for the con
struction of aeroplanes with all
metal framework. AS part of tn
frame it is also believed that Their
should be mast or post extending
vertically through the center of tn
machine with a ring into which lift
ing tackle should be hooked. The
there would be no danger of the ma
chine breaking of its own weigh,
Navy officers consider this prob
lem as merely the next step in tn
progress of the navy aeroplane. Tha
it will be satisfactorily solved. in tn
near future, is not doubted.

GIVING THE CAR A SCARE
Ruler of Russia to Take Up Resi-
dence at Palace.

St Petersburg, January lit is
openly alleged here that the recent
activity of the ST. Petersburg police
in unearthing nihilist plots against
the life of the czar is due to a desire
Or the part of the local authorities
to brighten the emperor away from
the capital. The ruler of Russia Is
due to take up his residence at the
Winter Palace on New Years eve,
which, in the Russian calendar,
comes day after tomorrow, or Fri
day the thirteenth, new style. A
series of courts, levees and recep-
tons is scheduled 10 begin then and
continue for fortnight.
The presence OF the car in the
capital always gives the police a
great deal of extra activity and anxi-
ETY.. During the last two years the
deaths Of Grand Dukes Alexis, Vladi-
mir and Michael placed the court in
mourning during the winter months
and supplied n good excuse for the
car remaining away from the capt.
the resumption OF social festivities.
With the wOrkmen OF ST. Peters
burg enjoying more work and better
pay than ever before, there have
been few disturbances, and the pc.
lice have been hard pressed to find
plots" that might have the effect Of
shaking the emperor's nerve. They
have been forced to the extremity OF
arresting students, who have been
much given to wordy but harmless
demonstrations since the death of
Tolstoy. Every method possible of
further eXasperating the students has
been seized upon by the authorities.
BY continuing to annoy the students,
the police may yet succeed in TO-
menting the plot" they so much de.
sire.
