Struggle of the Rivers,

England's two biggest rivers, the
Thames and the Severn. Between their

SOWING ALFALFA CROP
Young Plants Are Easily Injured
by Frosts and Weeds.
Seed 10 Best Sown with Drill as Less
10 Required Per Acre-shouId Not
30 Seeded More Than Two
Inches In Light Soils.

(By L. R: wALDRON. North Dakota
Agricultural Couege.)
AS the young alfalfa plants are cas-
fly injured by frosts, and by weeds, it
Is best not to SOW alfalfa early In the
spring. Alfalfa seeding may be de-
layed until other crops are in. There
is no advantage in sowing alfalfa be-
fore the middle of May, and If the
land is weedy the seeding may be de-
layed until the middle Of June. BY
this time the majority of weed seeds
can be terminated and killed.
Alfalfa seed Is bst sown with q
drill. If sown In such a manner, less
seed is required per acre and the seed
that is sown Is covered to a more
uniform depth.
Northern grown seed, and especial
ly Grimm seed, Is expensive, and this
reduction of the amount required
means considerable saving Of money.
The seed may be sown either from
the grain box, or by means OF a grass
seed attachment, usually obtained
with drills. Some makes Of drills
have alfalfa plates to At into the
grain holes and BY means OF such
plates the rate Of seeding can be SO
reduced that IL pounds of alfalfa seed
can be sown per acre without dilut'
ing the seed with some foreign ma
terial.
II the drill cannot be made to feed
the seed slowly enough the seed may
be mixed with ground feed, boiled
and dried millet seed, or better still,
with alfalfa dirt. II alfalfa dirt is
used for dilution it should be dry
enough to allow the mixture to run
easily through the drill. When not
too dry it has a slightly retarding &C.
ton on the flow Of the seed. When
too moist the dirt cakes and the seed
does not feed properly unless a forcs
feed drin ID used.
II broadcast seeding is done. the
seed may be sown by hand, or bettss
still by q wheelbarrow seeder. The
seed Is covered with q harrow. Broad
cast seeding requires onerthird more
seed than does drill seeding.

state, except for fodder, little of the
grain is being fed to poultry. Corn
is a cheaper feed than h~igh-grade
wheat and If 1t Is in part substituted
for the latter, a better and more
economical ration will be furnished.
The poultry feeder should aim to give
the greatest possible variety of grains
In making up. a daily ration for his
flock.
The plan Of feeding laying hens fol-
lowed at this station is substantially
as follows:
Morning-Whole wheat.
Noon-Mash of kitchen scraps, bran
or middlings, ground corn or barley
meal, and beef scraps or green cut
bone.
Night-Oats and shelled corn, or
corn on cob.
This makes a good wiuter ration
with the addition of green food (cured
lawn clippings) to go with the mash.
For summer feeding the whole corn
can be dispensed with during the
warmer months, as the heavier fowls
are likely to lay on too much flesh If
fed corn in any quantity. The mash
may be omitted from the ration Of
fowls having freedom Of range, but 1t
will still be found profitable If fed IN
reduced quantities.
The hens in winter quarters are fed

litter Of straw. The mash feed at
noon is mixed. in Q trough which has

parts of bran and middlings, with the

these ingredients mixed with scraps
from the kitchen. The scraps con-
sist of cooked vegetables, broken
bread, pieces Of meat, ETC., and are
eaten with great eagerness by the
fowls. Dried beef scraps are added

GRAY HAIR MAKES
YOU LOOK OLD
A Simple Remedy Brings Back
the Natural CoIor-Dandruff
Quickly Removed,

How often one hears the expression.
"She is gray and beginning to look old +"
1t is true that gray hair usually denotes
age and is always associated with age.
You never hear one referred to as hay-
ing gray hair and looking young.
The hair is generally the index of age,
If your hair is gray, you can't blame
your friends for referring to you as look
ing old. You can't retain a youthful
appearance IL you allow your hair to
grow gray. Many persons of middle
age jeopardize their future simply by
allowing the gray hair to become mani
fest. If your hair has become faded or
gray, try Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, a preparation which a
chemist by the name OF Wyeth devised
few years ago 1t is simple. mex
pensive and practical, and win Danish
the gray hairs in few days. 1t is also
guaranteed to remove dandruff and pro
mote the growth of the hair,
1t is a pleasant dressing for the hair,
and after using it few days itching and
dryness Of the scalp entirely disappear.
Don't neglect your hair. Start using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur to-day, ana
you will be surprised at the quick
results.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is

New York, Jan. 16.-Clarenee H.
Mackay, being asked in regard to

said:
This would lead to taking over

Independent telephone companies

the telegraphs alone up to date are
figured at $175, 100000. Moreover.
the governn ent would then be en-
ployinf hundreds of thousands of
clerks, telephone girls, telegraph
operators, managers, etc.
1T would be a colossal politiea
machine. / have cause for saying the
taking over Of the telegraph lines
would mean also the taking over OF
the telephones.
There is another thing. When
governments buy large properties
they generally pay exorbitant prices,
Just as when city buys land for
park. The English government paid
out enormous amounts for the tele-
graph lines and then found to its
surprise that it had to settle with
railroads with which the telegram
companies had contracts. | happen
to know that this disturbed the gov
eminent very much, but the govern
ment was in for it and had to carry
1t through, always at the expense II
the taxpayers. The Western Union
has thousands of contracts with rail-
