A GOOD IMPLEMENT HOUSE

1t Is unfortunate that we ever got
into the habit of using the word shed
to describe the shelter needed for
farm implements. Shed brings to our
minds a cheaply constructed sheher
something to drive under and pro-
tect the implements from the sun,
but which does not afford adequate
protection against wind erd rain ard
snow. What Is needed is an imple-
ment house,-a weM built, but mex
pensive house, completely enclosed,
and having a good floor. One that Is
large enough to drive Tito ard where
ali the farm implements can he stor-
ed away 1t furnishes also a COM
Portable workshop, where odd jobs of
repairing can be done, and an old
stove can be Iut in which will give
enough heat to make it a comfortable
place to work in except on very cold
days. The man who has a house CT
this sort is likely to keep his nipple
ments in good repair, painted, and
always ready for business. 1t is a
tempting place for the boys to fix
up their tool room and have some
thing useful to do on wet days. The
size, of course, will be governed by
the size of the farm.-Wallace's

FAIR TEST FOR ALFALFA.
From F. D. Coburn's address to the
National Hay Association:

From F. D. Coburn's address to the
National Hay Association:
Assuming that each member Of this
widely representative association is
influential for good within his sphere
of operations, l make bold to advance
a few suggestions, that if followed
would be helpful for progress where
soever:
Encourage your people to try rails
ing some alfalfa. The dealer can rest
assured that the more there IS raised
the better it will be understood and
the more fed and the more to sell.
If people claim that 1t is not adapted
to their locality, remind them Ct
what a humihating, depreciating re.
Election it Is upon themselves and
their land to admit that this hardy,
persistent, well-nigh everlasting pro.
litic perennial, that prospers nearly
everywhere else, from Saskatchewan
to Santiago, can not be grown upon
their farms! By such confession they
at once discount the value OF their
, lands $25 and probably 500 an acre.
Remind them that the mere fact of
a mans having tried it in a given 10.
cality once or twice without success,
signifies little as to its adaptability.
Being unfamiliar with its habits or
requirements, he may have done
scarcely any Of the simplest things
needful to its prosperity. This, too,
while thinking he was right and TAX
ing no little pains. His ignorance
may in a single turn have been the
cause Of failure, or he may have gore
wrong at every turn; in either event
the reflection IS on him rather than
en- the alfalfa. Although a plant Of
very high grade, it may, like Others,
in the hands of low grade farmers
Fare poorly indeed.

America to free the press from re-

amendment to the constitution for

Attorney Beck argues that as the
constitution did not expressly give the
power to regulate Journalism any at
