a large congregation was out last
evening at the Presbyterian church to
hear the discourse delivered by DR.
H. G. Stoetzer on the subject, Evan

The discourse was most profound
one and was highly praised by those
In attendance. DR., StOetzer is person
ally acquainted with The famous evan

W!nona Lake and having also met him
twice during his stay at Wheeling ard
was therefore thoroughly conyers2nt
with The life and methods of Billy

weeks ago by DR.. Stoet2er concerning
the methods of tho world renowned
evangelist was so highly pleasing as
to cause a number Of citizensito re
quest that he again prcachOn this sub

In his discourse last evening DR..
Stoetzer gave a sketch OF his life
which vas peculiarly Interesting from
the fact that he had known the evan
gellst personally and was therefore In
a position to give a number of inter
estlng details OF his life which were
moi generally known by local people.
Dr. stoetzer dwelt at length on the
Intense earnestness Sunday and his
great secrets OF power His discourse
was divided into five main themes.
The first theme dweltwith the evan.

The second theme Ind to do vita

Curing Alfalfa.

\ LFALFA seems native and to the
n manor born here in western
North Carolina. I have an excellent
three-acre lot despite the dry sea-
son last year and bad winter. My
neighbor has an acre, and l find it
growing we'll when mixed with grass
seed. But it is no holiday diversion
to cure it properly. My method is
to let it wilt in swath then rake it; !;
after it dries bit in windrow, turn
it over with horse rake; let it dry
more, then rake it into lunches
] make large punches and cover
with hay caps six feet square.
The points to consider are to pre-
vent the shattering of the leaves due
to sun-drying, to let the air in, and
not to allow a bunch to stand long
on one spot as this will smother out
the plants. ! find alfalfa easier to
raise than corn, more profitable, bet
ter feed and a wonderful soil en-
richer. l. M. HAWKINS.

Curing Peavine Hay.

WI E HAVE tried several ways of
w curing peavine and other kinds
of hay, but the way that we now
practice is to let the hay lie Just
as the machine cuts it until it is
about cured, or we get ready to haul
it in.
Don't get scared if it rains on
your hay. Rain will not hurt hay
very much, "only in appearance" if it
gets wet before it is raked into wind
rows or piled up in small piles.
We used to think that rain would
ruin hay, but about six years ago one
pretty morning / moved field of
peas, cane and crabgrass. That
same day another one of my neigh
bors cut hay and after two days of
sunshine it set in wet spell of about
two weeks. MY neighbor, having
plenty of help, raked his hay and
piled it up in small piles, but did
not have the help and did not touch
mine. The result was this; at the
end of two weeks my neighbor's
hay piles we're wet through and rot
ten. ! examined my hay and de-
cided it was worth saving. so raked
it up and everything ate it very we'll.
Since then do not get so scared
when / see cloud coming up in hay
time, because if hay is spread out on
the ground the water will pass
through it to the ground. But if it is
bulked up and gets wet, it is almost
sure to turn black and rot.

barn. The best, therefore, that can
be done is to make an estimate that
will approximate the truth under u.s.
ual conditions. The fine hays. put
in the barn after the least drying
practicable, and where there Is the
greatest depth Of hay will pack best
and contain more hay in a given
space. On the other hand coarse,
we'll dried hays, without sufficient
bulk or depth in the NOW to exert
great weight on the hay towards the
bottom will contain less hay in a
given space.
Different rules are used for esti-
mating hay in the stack or NOV. A
general rule is TO estimate cubic
foot of hay to weigh five pounds, or
400 cubic feet to weigh ton. BY
this rule, assuming that our CORES
pondent's barn or shed be filled so
that when settled the hay will be up
to the roof or the full height of the
posts, it will hold N1S x Is. 400
-14.58 tons. Others estimate $50
cubic feet as being the space occu-
pied by ton of hay and on this basis
the barn would hold about 16 and
two-third tons. 1t is therefore, prob
ably not far from the truth to state
that this barn we'll filed will hold
about 10 tons of hay.

on these poles tack one four-foot
cross-arm, IL or Is inches above
ground. Then place five or six-foot
poles or strips about six to ten inches
apart, all around with one end
on cross-arm, other end on ground
and with fork throw hay loosely
on these about IL to 18 inches
deep. Then tack two cross
arms on poles across each other
just above hay, then throw hay
loosely all around on these about
same thickness. Then two cross
arms and hay again, same way, and
SO on until within about six to ten
inches of top of pole two cross-arms
and cap off good to shed rain.
In this way it matters not If it
rains. We go right ahead with work
and the hay is air-cured instead of
sun-bleached, and makes much bet
ter hay, as it retains the leaves bet
ter and has more of natural color.
AS the air goes under it and all
through it, it goes to shrinking at
once and admits more air.

like near SO we'll as iron wheels with
four-inch tires, front wheels 80
inches in diameter, rear Sc. / have
had one set in the roughest sort of
use for IL years, and so far as
can see they are good as new.

hillside by slipping sideways Where
there is much hillside work to do,
a band made of five-eighths to three
quarter-inch square iron might be
shrunk on in the center of the tire.
