AiIOS EOR ALEAlEA.

A friend Of the writer who lives In
the humid sections has three thrifty
acres OF alfalfa which be plans TO put
up soon. The stand Is fine aud even,
and the yield will be good He may
have good weather at cutting time;
then, again. he may not. He Is debat-
ing the question Of putting up silo
with the special purpose in view of
having sure method regardless OF
weather for securing this valuable
CROP and II he should he will increase
his acreage to ten acres. We believe
the plan Is feasible one. one that
might well be followed In those sec
lions where uncertain weather pre-
walls at haying time. In the arid and
semiarid sections OF the west one can
just about bank on favorable weather
for haying, but east of the ninety fifth
meridian there Is u good deal OF risk
and often a considera Bile deterioration
In the quality of hay as result OF
getting wet In the curing process. In
stances are numerous where alfalfa
has been made Into perfect ensilage
by the usual method. and all kinds of
stock have been greedy TO get It
Silos should be on every firm In the
corn belt. and any farmer who has
one can and should give this alfalfa
ensilage business u trial.

Democrats of Maine. 1t is said that
he aspires to be chief justice of the
State of Maine and inasmuch rs Chief

his successor. This would leave va

MckEEN MAKES MERRY.
Has a Bit Of Fun Mt the Expense of
the Man Who Named Somerset's
Shire Town.

State Grange lecturer B. Walker
McKeen of Fryeburg is no SLOUGH as a
hnmorist. Everywhere he goes he has
a story particularly appropriate for
the place visited. This is what he
sprung on his Skowhegan friends dur
ing his brief call on Wednesday.
Several years ago he was speaking
at farmers institute in Putney. Vt.
AT the close of the lecture man
came to him who said he contemplate
ed the purchase of farm in Maine.
A real estate agent had described to
him place that seemed just suited
to his needs, and he sought Mr.. Nc
Keen's opinion of the locality. When
he came to that point In the CONVEX
sation, his memory failed him in re-
gard to where the farm was located
Mr.. McKeen named over one after the
other each one of our sixteen coun-
ties, but the inquirer's mind remained
blank. Finally it came time to
start for the railroad station so the
lecturer departed. Just as he had
gotten well under way the would-be
Maine man came rushing out of the
hall shouting, Il have it, | have it!
It's Squaneegan!"

Its home beneath the bark covering a
period Of two full years, when 1t
smerges from the trunk as a mature
beetle. The damage which two or
three Of these lusty borers can do to
thrifty trees Is sickening to the one
who has set them out with high ex-
pectations and has taken much pride
In caring for them. AS q preliminary
to putting the borers out OF business
my grass or weeds should be removed
from the trunk of the trees. One
should then make close inspection
Of each trunk, scraping the earth
away close to the trunk to the depth
OF an inch or an inch and half. The
presence OF the newly Matched horer
Is often indicated by drop of brown
juice exuding from the bark. Az Il

Cords from ten to twelve inches long

may be used for this purpose. very
convenient weight is made by making
some molds of tough ticket board or

about two inches and n half and the

Just before this hardens common barb-
