soD--BOUND ALFALFA FIELDS.
Methods Employed in Regenerating
Vary Great Deal.

The methods used in regcncrating
deal. Perhaps the method that is
used to the largest extent throughout
ali Of the northwest states IS the
method OF disking the land early in the
spring. Whether or not it is a good
plan to disk alfalfa land is ques
tor upon which there has been much
difference of opinion However, il
this work is done properly there
seems to be good reason for 50
handling our field.
In localities where there is but
small amount OF rainfall and where
the soil becomes hard and impervlous
to water it is a very good practice to
follow. Then again i'll regions where
the winter season is open. the thawing
and freezing will tend to loosen up
the ground and in that way have the
same effect as disking in the arid re
gions. 1t Is a well-known fact that
the disking of the stems will cause
them to become very much thicker
However. in disking alfalfa there l.
some danger in that the crowns very
often become infected with fungus
diseases which will oitentimes de
stroy the entire plant. We must keep
this in mind and must govern out ac-
tons accordingly That is, we must
use extreme care in order that the
crowns of the plants will not be in
jured to any great extent.
The disking OF course will cut the
crowns and there is always the dan
ger that the fungus diseases Will set
in. However. it we are careful and do
not allow the diseases in our fields
on the start and are careful that our
disk is very clean, this danger will b.
almost entirely eliminated. The disk
should be SO set that it will cut tho
crowns OF the plants rather than
gougc them out. Some farmers have
had success by getting the disk nearly
straight and running the disk each
way. ! MS VIII hiNhiN NV Ni'"' ''''
four equal portions and each part
will send up new alfalfa plant and
in that way the stand will be materi-
ally thickened.
Then again it is well to disk the
alfalfa. field when the field has become
infested with blue grass and dande-
lions which will choke ont a large
amount OF the alfalfa.
Farmers have also had success by
putting on from FIVE to six pounds OF
alfalfa seed. especially upon fields that
have become infested with dandelionS.
1t is sometimes a good plan TO add
small amount of clover seed To the
alfalfa. The clover terminates very
rapidly and will get good start and
will thus keep down the weeds. The
clover will die out in year or two
and we will still have good stand
OF alfalfa. We would suggest the
following OF this plan upon large
number of our alfalfa flds that have
grown alfalfa for three or four years.
BY getting and disking it is possible
10 thicken up the stand to such an
extent that we can grow our alfalfa
upon the same field for three or four
years longer and still obtain large and
profitable crops. The best time to
disk the alfalfa is in the early spring
because the young plants thus obtain
very early start

SWAPS HIS WIFE FOR HORSE

Members of the Jacket colony, poor
whites descended from a Frenchman
who settled at Lakeville, Mass, before
the Revolution, are indignant over the
action Of the state police in preventing
the exchange of the wife of one of the
leading Jackets for horse. The Jack.
OTIS would rather barter than eat. A
patriarch had INDUCED his propensity
of swapping until he had nothing left
but his clothing and his wife. In ex-
change for a horse he gave his wife
to his brother The horse was worth
five dollars. Twelve hours later the
patriarch snapped the horse for an
other horse His brother took the
woman 70 Brooklyn, and his efforts to
swap her for anything of equal value
attracted the attention of the police.
They made the patriarch take his wife
back, but the brother protested that
the exchange was made in good faith.

ANCIENT CHURCH IN DESERT

first pushed their way into this part
Of the world which was then unknown
to Europeans. Their object was to
convert the Indians. The first struc-
lures they built were churches and
many of these stand today as monu-
ments of the early priests who set
them up among the Indians and there
preached the gospel. One of the most
interesting of these early churches Is
located on the edge of Burrow Flat
in the Sacramento National forest in
New Mexico This Is a solitary re-
gion, but sparsely inhabited Here
and there is to be seen the adobe
house of a Mexican and the little less

more severe than to any other so

TO ABOLISH LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Money Put into Twenty Necessities Of
Life Would Furnish Employ
ment for All Men.
eBy MARGARET B. PLATT.)

We are sometimes told, You can
never get rid of the saloon by talking
sentiment Facts are what count
The saloon brings in big revenue
and money talks. Don't talk senti-
ment. Talk business" Well, if money
talks, let us talk money.
1t is claimed that to abolish the
liquor traffic would throw out of en-
ployment large numbers of people and
an army of idle would be the result
In comparison o. thirteen leading in
dustries of the United States, with
the combined brewing companies, it is
found that in proportion to the amount
of capital invested, the brewing bust
ness should give employment to 1885,
6S7 wage earners instead of only A.
AT.
In the thirteen leading Industries Sc
lected, S1.7S3 capital invested gives
employment to one wage Garner and
each dollar of capital purchases eighty
seven cents worth of material each
year.
In the brewery trade it requires
$10,5O5 capital to give employment to
one wage Garner and a dollars worth
of capital purchases only fraction
over twelve cents worth of material
each year, while in the entire liquor
manufacturing business in the United
States it takes $4,000 to give employ
ment to each wage Garner and each
dollar of invested capital purchases
only fraction over Is cents worth of
material annually.
This business, therefore, deprives
212,270 laborers from earning $751;
999,41000 annually. Instead of pur-
chasing 1898, 176,455.00 worth of raw
material, they purchase only $70,512,-
042.00 worth. If the liquor business
were abolished and the money spent
for drink were put into twenty of the
necessities of life, employment would
be given to all now employed in the
production of liquor and 1,347, 129 over
and the farmer would have a market
for all he now sells and $500, 568, 614
worth besides.

IL Nj life of romance which did not
even die with death The will
was made by Katherine Lee Doyle
Barringer, wife for five months of
Walter NJ. Barringer, rich member

She left nothing to her husband out

not marry.
1t is a story of love spoiled by will
of long ago.
Some years ago young Mr.. We'll in
herited an estate which Is today esti-
mated in the hundred thousands.
There was a string to the money. He
could not marry out of his faith, and
he was a Hebrew. Miss Doyle was a

confronted the beautiful girl who was
giving her love that he might keep his
estate. And few could have blamed
him. There were few fairer girls in

of a princess. Many d New York
