DOES WORK or TWELVE MEN,
saIina Telephone Employee Invents
Post Hole Digger.

A machine that will do the work
Of twelve to thirteen men Is generally
considered good thing. Otis Good
win, an employee of the Salina Tele-
phone Company has just turned out
such machine, his own invention.
1t is telephone post hole digger.
The machine was built by MI.
Goodwin himself, out of pieces Of
old junk. But it is well put together.
1t operates something like tranction
engine. When a hole is dug, the
power can be thrown onto the drive
wheels, and the machine will move
over to the next station. 1t runs
about as fast as traction engine,
but Mr.. Goodwin says that ahen he
has a machine built at machine
shop, out Of parts made especially
for it, 1t will move much faster.
At the bottom of the machine are
two knives, which revoive and dig
the holes. Cups pass up and down
from the hole, removing the dirt, and
piling It at two sides Of the hole.
The removed dirt is as fine as pow
der, and is thus excellent for lamp
ing,
The machine las been patented.

sALrNA TO GET SLEEPING CAR?
Union Pacific Is Thinking Of Side
Tracking One There.

Salina, April 21.-Salina can have
q special sleeping car sidetracked
here every night to accommodate the
Kansas City passengers who have
bought tickets for the early morning
flyer, which passes through here a
little after a. m.
The only thing that remains to
do before the order is made to leave
the car is for Salina businessmen
to show the local officials that there
would be business to Justify leaving
the car out.
An order is now expected by the
local officials any week concerning
the night Kansas City sleeper pro-
position, but as yet there has been
no announcement about the same
made at the SaIina passenger offices.
The car would be great accom-
mediation, enabling Salina business
and travelling men to go to sleep on
the car in the evening and awake In
Kansas City.
Another of the rumored changes
to be made in the Union Pacific pas
senger business here is the opening
of uptown ticket and baggage Off

over tOO. 1000 Glasses Of Coco Cola
Sold Last Year.

Since the lid has been put on in
Kansas and saloons elected from
Abilene the people evidently have
turned to coco cola to appease their
appetites for drink. Over 100000
glasses of coco cola were sold in
Abilene last year.
The estimated number Of barrels
of coca cola sold is about 26 and
this means about 1900 gallons. One
drug store alone sold IA barrels and
by a series of figures you can easily
estimate the number Of glasses
About one and one-half ounces ia
put into each glass. This makes
about 80 to the gallon. According
to the coca cola salesman Abilene
uses more coca cola than any other
town Of its size in the state.

WHEN AND HOW TO sow ALFALFA
Faif Sowing In Eastern Half Of State
and Spring Sowing In West
ern Halt is Best.

Do you know when and how to SOW
alfalfa? II you live in the eastern half
of Kansas you should SOW 1t in the
fall and in the western half you will
have better success with spring SOW
ing.
In the eastern half Of the state, II
the ground that you wish to SOW was
In fall wheat the season before and
was well plowed 1t will not be neces-
sary to re-plow. 1t should be disked
to the depth of three inches between
the time the wheat was harvested and
the time the alfalfa is to be sown.
If you do not grow wheat, oats or
barley would be a good crop to grow
Ia the spring and then SOW the alfalfa
in the fall Often this stubble must be
plowed, for as a rule the ground was
prepared with disk when the spring
crop was sown.
Care must be taken not to pillow the
ground more than three inches so It
may settle and form firm seed bed
before the time to seed the alfalfa.
Often 1t will be necessary, II there has
been light rainfall to pack 1t with q
harrow set straight on a sub-surface
packer. This firm seed bed is essen
tial in average season to terminate
the seed.
The seeding should be done between
August is and September Is. You
should be governed by the season but
il the ground Is clean and is In proper
condition the seed should be sown as
soon after a rain as The condition Of
the soil will permit
The best method of sowing al
falfa Is to use the ordinary wheat
drill II the field is square the best
plan is to drill one-half the seed one
way and the other half cross-ways
The chief advantage is that It insures
a more even stand. 1t Is not neces-
sary to harrow the ground after the
seed has been drilled unless It seems
to be very loose and needs to be
packed.
In the western half Of the state al.
falfa should be sovn in the spring.
II the ground, that alfalfa Is to be
sown on, was plowed II should be In
excellent shape for q seed bed. II
the ground has not been fall pIoWed
II should be plowed very shallow,
about ~ or 3 inches or dIsked once
or twice.
The time to SOW must be governed
By climatic conditions. II would be
better to take chances with the frost
than TO SOW too late. Midway be
tween the time Of sowing oats and
planting corn is the best tina

that corn further north natures ear
lier because of the comparatively
shorter season; and for this reason
is better adapted for growing in this
locality than are the later, eastern

are preferable and the late large
