Scheme Of Freemasons and Opinions
Of Jews on demonstrating
Solomon's Edifice.

London.-The scheme Of the Free
masons to rebuild the Temple Of
Solomon at Jerusalem has aroused
much sentimental interest in Jewish
quarters here, and much doubt is ex-
pressed as to whether the project will
ever be realized.
Some two years ago it was an
nounced that Chester had decided to
form a lodge of research to meet at
Jerusalem, and to be known as the
Lodge of King Solomon's temple.
Its members were to be drawn from
ali parts of the world. but in view of
the unsettled state of affairs then
prevailing in the Turkish empire the
lodge was consecrated in the province
of Chester, and met under the juris-
diction Of the grand lodge of Eng
land.
At any time an announcement such
as this could not have failed from
it's very character to arouse the deep
est interest throughout Jewry, wheth-
Ell members of the craft or not, but
coming as it has within hail of the
solemn new year, when the thoughts
Of the Jewish people naturally revert
to the past history of their nation. II
has struck a far deeper note than il
might otherwise have done.
AS to the intended uses of the pro
tected temple, details are necessarily
incomplete, but however generous

placed at the disposal of the pro
motors of the scheme. however skill

arts and crafts can reproduce the

Agricultural College.-Thcrc are two
sections IN Mississippi where alfalfa
giows successfully: ON the well drain
eli buckshot lands in the Nazoo- Missis-
sippi delta and on the black prairie
lands in Northeast Mississippi including
the counties Of Lee, Chickasaw, Clay,
AIoafDe, Lownd-s, Ostibbcha and Noxu-
bee. There are also other counties with
small areas Of prairie soil adapted TO
the growth OF alfalfa. There are at
present 10000 acres in alfalfa In the
northeast prairie section. The alfalfa
area is being gradually inere- scd year
by year. There are other large areas
in the state where alfalfa could be sue
ees-fully grown II 1t were not for crab
grass.
This grass grows very vigorously in
all OF our soils except the heavy lime
alfalfa in one or two years, generally
the first year from seeding. II il only
within the last ten years that alfalfa
has become regular field farm crop
in the prairie section.
Twelve to fifteen years ago land in
this section was selling at from sl2 to
SIS per acre; it ia now selling at from
$40 20 SIS per acre. SO far there has
been very little effort to use alfalfa in
systematic rotation. The little data
which We have Seen able 10 collect In
dieate that after the land has been in
alfalfa for several years that other
crops following the alfalfa viii be in
creased from rs per cent TO so per cent
in yield.
The cost Of preparing land, seeding
and bringing the crop to the first cut
ting will be from 90 to so per acre.

esty in politics and he will carry that
standard Of honor 10 the White House"

casuistry by which the Republican sd-
justified the Panama canal
bill, ''he will show the American people
that he is ready to give them the clear

THIS A COSTLY MISTAKE.

Carded En- Route.

Jaekson.-A minds county cattle firm
lost about $3.50 recently because some
one made the mistake of carding the
cars in which the cattle were shipped
with tags bearing the words Southern
cattle"
Commissioner of Agriculture Blakes-
lee is in receipt OF letter from the In
spector in charge of t.e national stock
yards. in Illinois, explaining the mis-
take.
Kinds county cattle are exempt, un-
der dipping conditions, from the rule
applying TO Southern cattle"
After the mistake Of carding the cars
was made the dipping cattle were put
with shipments that had not been
dipped. Hence the owners were forced
to sell them at lower price than they
should have received. II il estimated
the mistake cost the shippers fully $3.50.
The inspector wrote the explanatory
letter TO show that no blame could be
attached to the stock yards officials,
as the cars, when they arrived there,
were carded Southern cattle"
