Let Alfalfa Help Farmer

We have authoritive information
that many fields that were seeded to
wheat last fall must be plowed and
put in some other crop. This is un-
fortunate in any event but particular
ly so at this time as rains have pre-
vented the preparation of land for
corn. Even if good weather condi-
tons prevail during the remainder of
May, much land will lie idle until
fall seeding time again, or produce but
partial crop of wheat or corn.
In view of these conditions and in
consideration of the scarcity Of hay,
would it not be we'll for us TO get what
acreage of corn land We can COnven-
iently and properly prepare, planted
to corn, and put the balance in alfalfa?
By the time we have corn planted
the weed seed in the land that re-
mains will be sprouted and there will
be opportunity to pillow, treat with
limestone if necessary, innOculate, and
work down into a good seed bed. If
the alfalfa can be properly sown by
the last of June, we will be assured
of at least one cutting of the very
best hay this year, worth nearly or
quite as much as the crop originally
planned, and a good growth can be
left on the field to protect the plants
during winter. In this way the land
will be profitably used this season and
a crop of alfalfa will be started,
which with proper care and treatment
will furnish from four-and-one-half to
five-and-one-half tons per acre of the
most valuable hay for five to six years
or until we desire to change for other
crops in the rotation.
There is considerable complaint of
alfalfa being winter-killed, but we can
authOritively state that alfalfa, if well
started in fall, or if not cut late in
season, will survive the rigors of win
ter better than either wheat or clover.
Should the farmers of this commun-
ity desire to try this plan where wheat
has failed, or where they will be uni,
able to get the land in corn in time,
they can get all the information nee
essary in reference to preparing the
| land, securing the seed, and sowing
the alfalfa from Illinois Farmers In

A BIRD OF LIGHT.
The Arctic Tern Shuns the Night by
Flights From Pole to Pole.

The Arctic Tern Shuns the Night by
Flights From Pole to Pole.
1t used to be thought that the golden
plover bore off the palm for length of
fight between summer and winter
homes, but an article in the National
Geographic Magazine awards that dis
tinction TO the arctic tern. This bird
breeds as far north as it caTs ind any
thing stable on which to CO ruct its
nest 1t has been found within seven
and a half degrees of the pole itself
And that nest was found surrounded
by wall of newly fallen snow, which
the mother bird had carefully scOoped
out from round her chick.
The tern arrives in the far north
about June 10 and leaves again for the
south toward the last of August, when
the young are able to fly strongly. Two
or three months later the birds are to
be found skirting the edge of the ant
arctic continent. IL 600 miles away.
What their track is over that vast
space no one yet knows. A few indi-
viduals are occasionally seen along the
We" LuSIdHu OF Lung ISldIIu COdSI
in the fall, but the focks Of thousands
and thousands of these gregarious birds
which alternate from pole to pole have
never been met by any trained observ-
er competent to learn their preferred
path and their time schedule. They
must travel at least 100 miles each
day-apart from their flights in search
or in pursuit of food-to carry them
within ten or twelve weeks from one
end of the world to the other.
The arctic terms enjoy more hours
of sunlight than any other creatures
on the globe. The sun never sets dur
ing their stay at their northern nest
ing grounds, and during their stay in
the south they have two months Of
continuous sunlight and practical day
light for two months more. The birds
have twenty-four hours of daylight for
between six and eight months Of the
year

A HARMLESS WAY To
DARkEN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur
Makes Gray Hair Vanish-A
Remedy fOrAII HairTroubIeS.

Who does not know the value of Sage
and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark,
soft and glossy and in good condition /?
AS a matter of fact, Sulphur is a
natural element of hair, and a deficiency
of it in the hair is held by many scalp
specialists to be connected with loss of
color and vitality of the hair. IN
questionably, there is no better remedy
for hair and scalp troubles, especially
premature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, if properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal preparation
of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and
Sulphur are combined with other valu-
able remedies for keeping the hair and
scalp in clean, healthy condition.
If your hair is losing its color or
constantly coming out, or if you are
troubled with dandruff or. dry, itchy
scalp, get fifty cent bottle of Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur from your druggist,
use it according to the simple directions,
and see what a difference few days
treatment will make in the appearance
of your hair.
al druggists sell it, under guarantees
that the money will be refunded if the
remedy is not exactly as represented

Skeat derives the word henchman
from hengstman (Anglo-Saxon). horse
man, groom. 1t is probable that bench
men were in the first instance young
mobiles who at state ceremonies attend
ed on the king as mounted pages. His
tory speaks of these henchmen in this
capacity, for we read that Henry vi.
had three and Edward ~. six of them
We find, too, that they were mention
ed in the royal ceremonies as belong
ing Ito the riding household" and took
part in tournaments. The last time
"henchman" Is mentioned in connec-
ton with the court is in the reign of
Henry VIII. and gradually it came to
mean an ordinary page. The word Is
used by Ben Jonson and Shakespeare
in this sense.

How the Kelley Treatment Cures

The Kelley remedies are reconstructive tonics
which restore the nerve cells to a healthy condi-
ton. When this is done the craving disap-
pears, because, like cough, it is merely symb-
tom of a disease and not the disease itself. The
treatment is absolutely non-injurious and causes
no sickness. There is no confinement of patients.
