CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY w. A. MAC
THE STATE OF FRANKLIN.

Many people do not know
there was once State of
Franklin in the United States.
1t existed for four. years, from
1884 to I 80. Many emisrants
from North Carolina had
crossed tire mountains and set
tied in what is now known as
East Tennessee. The territory
belonged to North Carolina. but
the state government had not
been able to give it much atten-
ton. Owing to fina..cial and
other troubles North Carolina
eeded the territory to the gen.
eral government. The inhab-
itants did not relish the idea of
thus being cast adrift so uncere-
moniousiy, so they organized a
state and set up government
of their own. To their new
commonwealth they gave the
name "Franklin," after the
Philadelphia philosopher. But
congress declined to recognize
the new state, and North Caro-
lima raised strong objections.
The latter withdrew tie cession
to the government. I'd under
took to resume control of the
territory. A long quarrel en-
sued between the North Caro-
lipa sfate CoNerpp,ept and the
citizens of "Franklin." The
leader of the latter was "Gov-
ernor" SEWER, while a Colonel
Upton represented the former.
There was an immense amount
of pickering and much confu-
sion, but very little bloodshed.
II finally ended in North Caro-
lima resuming control of the ter
ritory, and 1.-The state of Frank
lin" was known no more.

WHEN THE ALFALFA is READY.

WHEN THE alfalfa Is READY.
| There is a right and wrong time
to cut alfalfa. Many of our new set
tiers this year are growing alfalfa
for the first time and consequently
are not so well acquainted with it as
they might be. Even those who
| have grown it for several years
often cut it at the wrong time. Cut
ting alfalfa is a different PROPOSE
ti,n from cutting clover. The lat
ter is usually cut for hay when one
thirc of the heads have turned to
| brown. at which time the stems and
..ayes contain the largest amount
of digestible organic matter. Form
this time on there is a movement OF
he protein and carbohydrates to
the seed stage and a corresponding
decrease ia these nutrients in the
stem.
The result is larger per cent of
crude fiber in the hay, while the
seed formed is of little value for
feeding purposes owing to the fact
that they escape the action of the
digesiv juices If the stomach. Sim
liar changes take place in the alfalfa
plant as it ripens its seed, although
no one defers the cutting of his
crop until the Seed begins to ripen.
The majority of alfalfa growers de
pend upon the number of blooms in
the field as the cutting index but
this is a mistake. Sometimes ii
should be cut when one-tenth of the
plants are in bloom sometimes ear
lier and sometimes later, depending
on tie season with reference to
rainfall or other growth controlling
factors.
Our advice is to pay no attention
to the bloom. On the contrary watch
for the little shoots that come out
from the crown. They are tho ones
from which the second crop develops.
When the shoots are well started
cut the alfalfa. You may get more
tonnage if you let it grow after that
stage has been reached, but the hay
will be of a poor quality. The in
crease II weight dLltI Ll4S SLaSe
will be in crude fiber which has
verv little feeding value. Besides,
the shoots that are TO produce the
second crop will not grow as fast
as when the part that is ready for
the mower is cut.
If alfalfa is cut before these lit
tie shoots have sprung from the
crown, the second crop will not be
gin to grow until they have had
time to form. Such a delay gives
the weeds an excellent chance to
get ahead of the alfalfa and greatly
: lessen the yield of the second cutting.
: This principle applies equally to
those who may have seeded alfalfa
, this spring without a nurse crop
, and intend to keep the weeds down
by clipping with mower from time
D to time. Do not clip the alfalfa un-
til the shotts have started from
the crowns. no matter how much
the weeds may be growing Cutting
before that time will only be a help
to the weeds and a corresponding
detriment to the alfalfa.-Field and

A FINDER OF PEOPLE

Emergencies are constant
ly arising which make it nee
essary to communicate with
persons whose exact loca-
tions are not known. In
view Of this fact Bell opera
tors everywhere give the
most scrupulous care to To-
eating people and bringing
them together in emergencies
when probably no other
means of communication
would be available.
Bell operators are trained
to follow any reasonable clue.
They have complete infor-
nation concerning residents
in every district. and can often
find parties wanted by street
addresses, occupation, busi-
ness or other indications in
the absence Of names. Their
facilities for locating tran
sients are good. Messengers
are on duty at railway sta
tions. and are frequently able
to intercept travellers by des-
cription. and bring them to
a telephone.
Night service is particu-
larly thorough and sympa-
thetic. for it is recognized
that calls then, when the
community is asleep, are
likely to be of the utmost
urgency.
Toll charges in emergency
messages are no higher than
ordinary rate. and in most
cases the results cannot be
weighed on a money basis.
