Timely Agricultural Topics
IN PRAISE OF ALFALFA.

Plan to be independent and
start a plot of alfalfa. Dairy
men find in alfalfa a continuous
supply of succulent feed for
summer feeding. Alfalfa hay for
winter cannot be beaten. 1t is the
square DEAF fertilizer agent
and sells nitrogen to YOU at cost.
1t draws fertility from the farm
below yours and adds it to your
own. 1t will suffer death at your
hands and in its decay grow
you more corn than you ever
grew before. But. better still. it
will supply you and your family
with the staff of life. Alfalfa
bread, cake and biscuit will soon
be household necessities. At a
recent land show in New York
city free samples of these We're

cake and biscuit there were al
falfa breakfast food. some ten or
twelve kinds of alfalfa candy, al
falfa soda water and alfalfa ice
cream.-Soutn Jersey Trucker.

Anton Cardi was infatuated with Wit

woman he had concluded to wed Lucia
Sanchez, whom he did not love. but
who possessed a fortune. No sooner
had the wedding taken place than
Signor Careno fell ill and died. leaving
Vittoria a widow. Then Cardi was be-

not waited. His wife had some inkling
of the cause of distress he could not
conceal. and since she loved him shc
too, was miserable. One day she met
Vittoria and turned her back upon her.
why do you treat me in this way?"
asked Vittoria.
Because you hold my husband in

Lucia was encouraged at this. think

She told her husband what Nittoria

wife. Indeed when Nittoria. to prove
what she had said. made a friend of
Lucia. Anton was infatuated enough TO
suppose that Vittoria was deceiving his
wife with view to gaining opportuni-
ties to be near him. Surprising that the
woman he loved would marry him if
he were free to marry, he resolved to
get rid of his wife by poison.
Lucia was used to taking every

LIVE STOCK REMEDY.
Treatment For Ailing Chickens and
Turkeys Which Proved Effective.

Treatment For AIlIng Chickens ana
Turkeys Which Proved Effective.
Our neighbors are having such good
success using peroxide of hydrogen for
chicken cholera that 1 want to tell the
readers of Farm and Fireside about its
use, says correspondent of that pa
per.
One neighbor is quite a crank on the
use of peroxide. SO when one day she
found one of her choice hens very sick
with cholera she went for her peroxide
bottle and gave Biddy teaspoonful at
one dose.
The next day she went out to see
how Bicdy had Jared and to her sur
prise found the hen picking around as
smart as could be. In Il few more days
her comb became red and she began
laying.
Another ne:ghbor had some sick tur-
keys which he thought would not live.
Hearing of the remedy and the lady's
success, he procured some and tried it
on his turkeys by giving two teaspoon
fuls. Every one got well. He then
gave tablespoonful to sick pig with
the same success.

acid developed in the cream. This
has made possible the device of a sim
pie and accurate test for grading
cream. That which is not more than
twice as sour as sweet cream on the
point of turning will make first class
butter. Below that point it must be
considered second grade.
Poor cream generally comes from
farms where the cans are kept in
caves, cellars and uncooled or unven-
tilated places. while that of high grade
is found to be the product of farms
where it is kept in we'll water, running
springs or tanks of cold water where
it can be kept at a temperature below

a rear admiral upon detachment from

Under the admiral and vice admiral
provision it viii be possible for the

FROGS HELPED SCIENCE.
Their Part In Discovery Of Galvanisnn
and the \ Ray.

Surely it is one Of the oldest of CO
that the frog should have been pri-
marily accountable. each time through
an accident. for two very important
scientific discoveries, both connected
with electricity-namely, Salvanism
and the y ray.
story of the discovery of galvanism.
which WAS due to the accidental cir
cumstance that one of Il number of
frogs legs, prepared for cooking in
the laboratory Of the physicist Galvani.
came into contact with an electric
wire. Galvani's wife was i'll. and he
was getting ready to fry the dainty
batrachian morsels when suddenly one
of the legs began to dance.
The discovery of the y ray was SO
simple and obvious that any clever stu
dent in Il physical laboratory might
have made it. Mere chance led Pro
fessor Roentgen to come upon it, 4

drawer beneath there was paste

posed Photographic plates.
1t 30 happened that some keys were
lying on the table just above the draw
er. When an attempt was afterward
made to use the plates for photograph
ic purposes they We're found to be
logged but OH each one Of them was
fairly clear imprint Of the bunch of
keys.
Thus 1t became apparent that rays
of some kind had penetrated through
the wooden top Of the table and had
been 80 far interrupted by the keys us
to make shadow picture Of the latter
on the Photographic plates. 1t was at
once obvious that new fact in phys
les had been discovered.
One of Professor Roentgen's assist
ants picked up dead frog (which had
been used for some other laboratory
work. and put it in the place ordi-
narily occupied by the bunch Of keys,
fresh Photographic plate, as usual. re-
posing In the drawer beneath. The
result was revelation, for the shadow
picture made was not of the frog, but
Of its skeleton.
From which fact It was learned that
hesh was transparent to the newly
discovered rays, whereas bones were
opaque to them.
