MAY PRISON SPELL OPPORTUNITY?

A n Italian woman went to Jail in New Jersey six years ago.
1 ~ At that time she was ignorant. spoke no English, the same
- peasant type as her laborer husband. She has Just been
released utterly changed. She speaks and writes good English. She
has learned housekeeping and art embroidery. She can do stem
ography and typcwriting. Her n thought now is to send her
Of her family.
or course there must have been good fibre in this woman in the
first place. The six years in Jail didn't do it all. Another might
have come out as stupid and shiftess a S when she went m-or worse.
The case is a good example of how Character and Opportunity need
each the other, and how they rush into each others arms when they
get . chance. II she had lived with her husband those six years
the good in her would have spent itself in sordid cares Of the struggle
for life. Opportunity came-though in strange euise.
The woman was sentenced to be hanged for murder. It wa
shown, however, that she killed the man because he tried to win her
from her husband. The thousands Of people who believed in her
and helped save her from the gallows may be well satisfied with the
result. As the woman put it: 81 promised God that for sparing my
life ! would do something to make II better"
She has made good.

u OF THE DARK.

A NONYMOUS LETTERS threatened with death a well-known
~ actor and actress the other day. Both were given five
4 - weeks more to live. both were told that bombs would do
the work, and both were assured that there was no escape. The
actress, who received tho letter just a. che was going on the stage,
was so disturbed that she Wa several times overcome during her
performance. An anonymous letter received by . hotel proprietor
resulted in deep annoyance and humiliation TO an innocent man and
wife who were guests Of the hotel. A theatre was recently guarded
by detectives because Of anonymous threats to stop the play.
Only now and then do these ghastly alarms prove founded in
fact Usually they are the work Of some joker, crank or crooked
minded wretch with a mania for making trouble. No more contempt
iNe rascas exist than those who w~ntonly disturb other peoples
peace of mind in this way. When caught they should be made public
,yamp,s. The anonymous letter Inns been looked upon for centuries
az n of the lowest, most dcspicabs tricks that human dcpravMy
has invented.

FERTILIZERS TO BE USED.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
The selection OF fertilizers for ap
plication to land which is to be seeded
to hay should, in all cases, be varied
in accordance with the kind of hay de
sired. If hay containing a large pro
portion OF clover is wanted, materials
which supply relatively large amounts
Of potash and phosphoric acid should
me employed. If hay, largely timothy
and relatively free from clovers is
wanted, then the proportion OF materi.
ais furnishing potash and phosphoric
acid should be smaller, while the ma
terials supplying nitrogen should be
applied in relatively large proportion
There is considerable evidence to show
that If timothy is desired. potash in the
form OF muriate is preferable to sui
fate, while for clovers on many soils,
and especially in wet season, the sui
fate is preferable.

GRASS GROWING FOR PROFIT.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Over 60,000,000 tons Of timothy hay
are grown every year in the United
States on about 100000 acres Of
ground. Beginning at the seaboard
and going west the chief hay produc'
ing states are New York, Pennsyl'
vania, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Oklahoma New York alone has near.
ly 100000 acres on which is pro-
duced upwards OF 100000 tons OF
hay These ten states, which may be
said to constitute the hay belt OF the
United States, have total Of over
27,000,O00 acres on which were lately
grown over 100000 tons Of hay.
These figures are mentioned to show
the magnitude of the grass growing
industry. OF course grass is grown
more or less extensively in all Of the
states, but the states mentioned are
the leaders and produce the greater
bulk of our annual crop Of timothy
hay, or about 81 per cent Of the total
crop of the United States.

THERE'S MONEY IN HAY.
Hay Is Second Only to Corn az 0
Money Crop-A Plea for Mere
and Bett,r Grass.

National Crop Improvement Serviee1
although We see a good deal about
clover and other iegumes as q means
10 gather nitrogen into the soil" said
Mr.. p. E. Goodrich, president et the
National Hay Association everybody
seems to have overlooked the fact
that there is more money in hay than
there is in any other one crop except
corn. In other words, clover and
alfalfa are not only means TO an end.
but no mean end themselves.
Taking the United States as q
whole, it does not produce per acre
over half as much as Il should, and 1t
only has about half as many acres as
the demand requires.
Grass crops are less trouble than
any other crop. and our association is
very much interested in bringing up
the hay production, not only in guam.
tity, but eventually in quality.
THE price of hay is all out Of rea.
son, and inasmuch as the prosperity Of
other kinds of crops depends so much
upon hay crops, this association Is
active in preaching a sensible rota-
ton"

AlSIkE CLOVER.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Alsike clover is one Of the most
valuable legumes for forage and pas
ture crops. 1t seems adapted to the
stronger and moister soils, where II
does better than the common red
1t makes a large yield in thin land.
Being finer, it cures more easily
than either the common red OF
the mammoth clover, producing hay
OF very superior quality. 1t is, how
ever. of great value as honey crop,
for the honey bee can reach the nee.
tar in its flowers. which it can seldom
do in the case OF the red and nam
moth clovers. In few respects alsike
clover appears to be somewhat infer
ior to the red and mammoth varieties,
In many cases it does not persist SC
long. nor does 1t appear to yield sc
heavy a second growth. The variety
however, is of such value that II
should always be included in mixtures
OF seeds for the stronger and moiste,
soils, where hay including clover is de
sired.

GREATEST GRASS CROP.
BY J. Carver Strong, National Hay and
Grain Reporter.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Concerning alfalfa Ex-Governor
Hoard of Wisconsin says: The alfalfa
movement is the most important agri.
cultural event Of the century" The
latest Kansas reports show one million
acres Of alfalfa in cultivation, more
than all other tame grasses combined.
A prominent gentleman of that state
says: Were / called upon to say what
single product of the soil would prob
ably assume the greatest Importance
in our state in the near future, would
say alfalfa" AS Beecher said about
strawberries, doubtless God could
make a better forage plant than al
falfa but in my opinion, he never has
AS a forage plant for general use SO
far as know it has no equal.

WEBWORMS ON ALFALFA.

National Crop Improvement Service1
When the webworms start taking
the leaves off of your alfalfa, cut the
alfalfa at once, Ic matter how big or
little 1t may be. Remove the hay, il
there is any. Then with an alfalfa
renovator or a smoothing harrow
weighted sufficiently to do business,
wool those worms around in the dirt
and smash them. Doing this work
promptly often means another cutting
OF alfalfa which wol I'D have been lost
II the worms had been allowed to
harvest the crop.

SEEDS TESTED FREE.

National Ctop Improvement Service.1
To be sure that all seed planted is
sturdy and will grow, it is a good
plan for every farmer before seeding
his land, if he does not care to ger
inmate his own seed, to send a sample
OF It to the Experimental Stations of
his state Agricultural College where
free tests will be made.
Farmers are thus able to have sam
pies OF seed tested before buying, 80
they may be sure that they are not
purchasing poor seed.

ATTITUDE Of WILSON
TOWARD THE PHILIPPINES

PRINCETON, Nov. 11.-Among the
thousands of communications and sug
ge tions received by President eject
Woodrow Wilson since last Tuesday
are many having reference 20 future
appointments to end the attitude of
the coming Democratic administratio on
toward the Pacific territories of Ha-
waii and he Philippines. To all sug
gestions and advice the president. elect
has turned a courteous but diplomat
ically deaf ear. He has determined d
to give himself and the country rest
from politics until the time appears
when he will have to face the prob
lens of cabinet making and prepare
for the actual work of executive con-
troll following the Inauguration day In
We ashington. In brief conversation
he made it quite clear that any an
nouncement of his intentions until he
takes the lid off his own voice will
be abs solutely unauthorized and purely
speculativ His secretaries are filing
recommendations and suggestions for
perusal after Mr.. Wilson returns from
his holiday, the plans for which have
be kept under cover so as to as
suIe privacy and peace.
AT the same time, this may be pre-
dicted with every warrant of certainty
Wilson will go slow in any changes
which he may make in the Hawaiian.
and Philippine matters, concerning
which the president of the United
States has direct authority. He has
sh wn a deep interest in the Pacific
isles and has talked about Manila and
Honolulu to many of his personal
friends In fact, unless domestic and
international affairs render such a step
impolitic, Honolulu and Manila may
first time 10 welcoming a president of
the United States during the coming
Democratic administrat; on. President
Taft planned to make this trip after
attending the Panama Pacific exposi-
ton at San Francisco. Mr.. Wilson,
fri nds say, will most likely do SO, in
order to see with his own eyes how
the Pacific isles are progressing, trav
elirg on a United States warship and
in constant communicat tion
with Washington by the wireless ser
vice which will then be in full ocean
wide operation.
1t is even predicted that Mrs. Will
pany the president-elect on the pro-
posed oriental tour, in which case Hon
olulu and Manila will be scenes of 50
cial brilliancy eclipsing all former
events in that line.
