NO WESTERN MAN FOR HER
New York Stenographer objects to
Employer Whose Business Day
Begins Before Nine.

A New York office had advertised
for stenographers, and when the APP
plicants came they were interviewed
by the assistant manager, who was a
woman. An agreement almost had
been closed with one bright girl when
the assistant mentioned incidentally
that the proprietor was western
man. Instantly the fair face Of the
applicant clouded. "In that case"
she said firmly, Il do not wish the
position. I am working for a western
man now, and that is why l wish to
make a change. Why, do you know"
her voice dropped to a low, tragic
tone, as Of one who voices hidden
crime-''that man actually gets down
to the office at six o'clock in the
morning, and he expects us to be there
at eight. Worse than that, even when
we are on hand promptly at eight he
acts as If It was about the middle of
the day. OF course, It is easy for him.
for it seems he gets up about four
o'clock every morning, works a bit at
home, reaches the office at six and
piles up work for us until eight, so it
really does seem late to him when we
arrive. No more western men for me,
thank you. Any little old New York
man will do for me, for New York
men don't try to begin Office hours be-
fore nine or ten o'clock"

ALFALFA IN ROWS FOR SEED
object Is to Secure Greater Control
Of Moisture-Furrows May Be
Smoothed Out.
ny ALvIN KEYsna. coIoraao AgIl.

(By ALVIN KEYSE2. Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
Mr.. p. X. Blinn, alfalfa specialist
of the Colorado experiment station.
with headquarters at Rocky Ford.
Colo, has called attention to the ne
cessity of PLANTING alfalfa in rows for
the most succ, nj seed production.
SO much inquiry is being made at the
present time that it seems advisable
to again call attention to certain
points which should be observed In
growing alfalfa in rows fc- seed pro
duction.
The object Of putting alfalfa in rows
for seed production is to secure
greater control Of the moisture. I'm.
der irrigation this greater control T.
obtained because by the row method
the alfalfa can be irrigated by f'r
rows. The burrows may be smoothcd
out with the furrowing machine so
that the water may be run through
quickly, thus giving a light irrigation
Cultivation Of the rows assists In the
conservation of moisture. Thus by
control Of the two factors. irrigation
and cultivation, the necessary amount
of moisture for the best crop devel,
opment is secured. Too much water
tends to produce vegetative growth
at the expense of seed production.
Under irrigation. the rows should be
planted 20 inches apart, and every
other row furrowed out for irrigation.
When. however, alfalfa is planted on
dry land for the production of seed,
the rows should be further apart aud
the plants thinner In the row. In
order to permit the amount of water
commonly present to suffice for the
plants which are actually on the
ground BY dry land methods. the
rows as a consequence should not be
placed closer than SO inches apart
The plants should be drilled in the
row and may well be thinned to q
inches apart in the row. leaving
good. strong plants when the thinning
is done.
Mr.. Blinn reports that he saw al
falfa planted 40 inches apart between
rows. and 40 inches in the rows, Al
Highmore, N. d., which yielded SEED
at the rate OF FIVE bushels per acre
where the rainfall was only sever
inches for the entire season. From
our experience and the experience o
others on dry land, it would seen
that &c to AZ inches is about the prop
er distance to plant alfalfa in row
for dry land seed production. The al
falfa should be given as thorough cul
tivation as Is given corn or potatoes
II this is done, a good average see'
yield can be produced for each sea
son. If thicker planting is made Oh
the dry land, it does not leave a sui
ficient supply of soil moisture to ma
ture a good seed crop. Success is onl
guaranteed when the number Of plant
is reduced to the carrying capacity O
the soil.

TO DESTROY SAN JOSE SCALE
Practical Orchardists Have Found USE
fuIness Of Several Washes
to XIII Pests.

Remedies for San Jose scale are now
confined largely to winter applications.
Practical orchardists have found in
the various lime-sulphur washes, judg-
ing from the amount used, a most sat
isfactory remedy for this pest This
material may either be the home
boiled lime-sulphur wash, the prepare
ton Of which has been repeatedly de-
scribed, the new lime-sulphur wash
known as the Cordley formula, com
bination calling for approximately
twice as much sulphur as lime. or the
commercial lime-sulphur washes now
on the market under various trade
names. ANY one, If well prepared and
thoroughly applied. the latter an es-
sential. can be relied on to keep the
pest in check
Various so-called soluble" or mis-
chile oils have been widely used here
and there. and some prefer them to
the lime-sulphur preparations They
are undoubtedly very convenient and
particularly desirable for use in cities
and villages where there is danger Of
sporting paint If a lime-sulphur wash
is employed
Generally speaking, these latter
preparations are not as safe as the
lime-sulphur wash and in a long Sc
ries Of years hardly as effective.
Treatments with either should be
given while the leaves are of the tree.

Johnny cakes Name.

Johnny cake is certainly about as
queer bread as was ever got up. Tip
has never seen any true account Of
it whatsoever. Pone dough is nodded
around an iron musket ramrod or on
a long green strong switch and held
over the fire until roasted or baked,
or whatever you CAL it. In old times
Gen. Forests men cooked cornmeal
rations, hence Johnny cake, Johnny
Reb. Tip has heard old Texas say
that Sam Houston to his dying day
ate such corn cakes. which he learned
to make from his long NE among the
nomads-NeW York Press.
