On the afternoon of the same day
of cutting, if weather has been favor
able, the alfalfa should be raked and
put into small cocks. These cocks
should not be left standing in the
field more than two or three days
without moving, or the alfalfa plants
underneath the cocks will be partially
or completely smothered. By taking
a pitchfork and running it into cock
of alfalfa near the bottom one can
easily pull alfalfa from the place pre-
viously occupied. If it is exceedingly
green when cooked or rainy weather
sets in it will ''heat'' unless the cock
in opened every day or two. In favor
able weather no more difficulty will
be experienced in curing alfalfa than
in curing heavy growths Of clover.
Like clover, the leaves are rich in
nitrogen, and they drop off readily
when dry, and therefore the aim Of
the farmer should be to cure alfalfa
with the least possible handling. One
half of the feeding value may be lost
through the weathering and improper
handling of the crop.
A much better quality of hay will
be secured if the crop is cured under
hay caps Caps can be made from
light cotton duck by hemming the
edges to prevent raveling. Eyelets

ELKHORN FAIRS GROWTH.
Recent Purchase of Land Increases Size
of Grounds to Forty-six Acres.


Visitors to the Walworth County Fair
at Elkhorn, Sept. 10, 20, Fl and 22, will
note a number of improvements to the
grounds since last year, chief OF which
is the addition of seven more acres OF
land. The steady growth of the fair
during the past few years, both in way
of crowds and exhibits, has so en-
croached upon space allotted to the
various displays, that the society found
it necessary to again increase the
ground space.
1t was fifty-six years ago this tall
that the society bought its first tract
of land at Elkhorn for fair purposes.
The initial purchase comprised six
acres. and to this substantial additions
have been made from time to time as
requirements seemed to demand, until
today the grounds cover an area of
forty-six acres.
The enclosure is the largest devoted
exclusively to county fair purposes in
the world, and with its equipment of
thirty-one buildings represents an ag-
gregate cost of approximately $72, 500.
The largest building on the grounds is
the amphitheatre, built in 1896. 1t is
40 feet long, has seating capacity of
1000 and cost $4,000. This is the larg
est grandstand on half mile track in
the United States. There are ten barns
which every year provide shelter for
over ], 200 head of exhibition horses,
cattle, sheep and swine, while the large
poultry building houses over 1000
chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and pet
stock.

tage of cheapness, ease of application,
and procurability. Sulphur can be
bought in one form or another every
where. 1t has the great disadvantage
of being very destructive. 1t bleaches
many dyes, corrodes metals and weak
ems almost all fabrics.
Sulphate of iron, commonly known
as copperas, green vitriol, or iron Wit
riol, has for many years been widely
used as disinfectant The accurate
tests which are now made have shown
that it has practically no value as a
gerimcide. 1t is a fairly good deodor-
izer, but must not be depended upon
as disinfectant

TWO Sets of Muscles.

You have two sets of muscles, the
outer ones, which you can feel and
the iner ones, which are your lungs,
heart, stomach and other interr'l or
gans. The outer ones are COW Ices
for performing actions. TIE inner
ones are your life-the fate winch
makes you happy or depressed, pow
erful or weak, useful or the contrary
These inner muscles require training,
just like any other muscles, by intel

Insane English Monarchs.

Insane English Monarchs.
George III. is the only British mon
arch who il modern times has been
placed ua1er restraint and deprived
of his authority because of insanity
though similar mes sures were at one
time contemplated with regard to his
son, George w. the monarch who
has been described as "a bad son.
bad husband, bad father, bad sub
ject, bad monarch and bad friend"
and whose conduct while on the throne
was characterized by an eccentricity
which bordered on lunacy.
The insanity Of George III. was real
ly brought about by the dangerous
illness of his youngest and favorite
child. Princess Amelia. The unlikeli-
hood Of her recovery preyed upon him
and FASTENED the attack of mental de-
rangement which incapacitated him
from reigning, although he had pre-
viOuSly suffered from this malady. He
died hopelessly insane at Windsor after
losing his sight as we'll as his Senses

If real business ability is to
count for anything in the selection
of Commissioner, John H. Neher
stands prominently a representa-
tive of that character. A young
man well and favorably known by
both while and black. Mr.. Neher
for number of years was asso-
ciated with the N. Hay & Co. Shoe
Co., on east side of square, and
for a number of years he was the
executive secretary of the Busi-
ness Mems Association of this
city. Mr.. Neher's business ability
is unquestioned, and he would
make, in our judgment, a splendid
Commissioner. Mr.. Neher is
broad-minded and liberal, and if
chosen for Commissioner will give
all classes of citizens square deal
He is fair and impartial in all his
dealings and has made for himself
a host of loyal friends, who will
stand by him on February %. All

ducts an up-to-date tailoring es-

mon County, was educated in our
schools and has resided in this city

his business experience reinforces
that qualification. He is proprieto,

his personal merits. Mr.. Hawks is
man who believes in dealing out
justice to every man according tc
the Individual s worth, He pledges

tening to all needy and worthy pc
titions. He is with the laborine

Mr.. Jesse K. Payton, who is a
candidate for mayor, is making
quite a rapid move. His friends
say he will be the high man when
the vote is counted. Mr.. Payton
offers clean record in the past
as his platform. He served as
chief deputy sheriff under B. II
Brainerd for four years and
worked harmoniously with his
force, part of whom were colored
officers. He is regarded as very
strong man in the race. Mr.. Pay
ton has proven that he is absolute

nooga and st. Louis Railroad on
complaint that cars furnished me-
gro passengers were not the equal
of those furnished white passen-
gers; that no wash bowls or towels
were provided, and no smoking
compartment.
The railroad contended that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
had no power to require equal ac-
commodations. This answer has
been overturned by the courts.
Under the Georgia law sep
arate accommodations must be
furnished and under the order of
the commission equal accommoda-
tions. This means that ears which
are the equal in every respect
must be provided by the railroads
for their colored patrons, or, as a
condition of failure, pay a heavy
fine, so heavy they could not stand
it.
Equal accommodations on day
coaches will not present much of
a problem, but the question of
Pullman accommodations will be
a vexing one under the commits
sion S ruling.

Another prominent b u s n S S

1119 South Seventh street, and
was born and reared in this city
That he will make a good execu-
tive goes without the saying. Fol-
years he was associated in the wall
paper business with his father OF
South Fifth street, and is too wei
known for an elaboration.
Mr.. Kimble is yet engaged IL
business, and is a good type of citi
zen to elevate to this important
office. He is so well known to the
colored readers of The Forum that
long article is superfuous. Fol
a long time he gave lucrative EN-
ployment to colored people. Al
of our churches have dealt with
him, purchasing paints and paper
etc, and received good treatment
and many favors. He is a mar
who believes in "all men up" The
older residents know him better
than the writer. If elected he will
be credit to the city and an hon
or to the Council

Saturday. Feb. 18th.

On Saturday, Feb. Is, the
Forum will be seven years old,
having made its debut in the jour
nalistic arena Feb. IL, 1904, and
missed only three Saturdays since
that time, two editions having
missed Aug. % and 29, 1908, and
one Dec. II, 1910.
In honor of our seventh year of
existence, we desire to put on a
few finishing touches and issue a
big edition, with several hundred
extra copies. We shall also have.
some special poems and articles by
some of our literary contributors
and a reproduction of our staff at
that time and some of our art
icles. We shall be pleased to get
some kind of an ad from every
colored business man and many
of our white business firms who
generally rally to these efforts.
We shall also be pleased to give
special space to candidates, who
may desire to state their plat
forms. We give better and larger
write-ups than any paper In the
city for the price as the records
will show. Therefore, all bust
ness men and candidates desiring
space in this special edition need
not wait for our representative to
call, but send in your cut and
your matter to the Forum, 119
North Eighth street. Telephone
