Send Men, Not Figureheads.

If you instruct your delegates you
tie their hands so they are unable to
work for the best interests of the
party. Choose good men and trust
to their judgment. Questions may
arise that have not been considered
and it is not fair to the delegate to
compel him to do what, in his opin-
ion, means disaster to his party. This
is particularly apt at this time as the
bitterness that is developing in the
fight between Roosevelt and Taft may
result in the leaders deciding that 1t
is for the best interest of the party

Ruildinn Up the Soil.

Joseph L. Wing gives the sensible
advice to use limestone always to
build soils through the growth of the
clovers and alfalfa. The formula Is in
this order: Keep up the lime content in
the soil; that will hold the clover and
alfalfa; plow under an occasional crop
of either with phosphate. Then your
soil will be strong for any crop.

The Apple AphiS.

The Apple Aphis is the insect
which causes the leaves to curl in the
spring of the year. 1t is sometimes
called the apple plant louise, the
green fly, green bug, etc. After it
appears in the spring it causes the
leaves to curl, and after these leaves
are curled it is impossible to apply
spray liquids to reach and destroy it.
When the leaves are injured the dam
age to the tree is considerable, as
the leaves perform the functions of
both lungs and stomach.
1t is by far best for growers to pre-
vent damage by aphis by spraying in
the winter time with the lime-sulfur
solution, such as is directed for San
Jose scale. 1t is to be killed at this
time of year, or at any time during
the dormant period, by such spray
ing, because its eggs are now to be
found as little black shiny points on
the twigs, and especially near the
buds of the apple trees. The same
remedy is recommended for the blis-
ter mite, which is one of the serious
enemies of the apple and pear leaves
of this state.

to pay for the gathering. The amount
of honey that goes to waste every veal

Demopolis, December 1.-More than S5O0,0O0 has been paid for alfalfa lands in the immediate vicinity of Demopolis within the past six months, and the new owners are rapidly coming in to occupy their places before the next planting sea- son begins. Their purchases in machin- cry. building and fencing material and other essentials has made business pick up for the local merchants and every skilled and unsklled laborer here who is willing to work can find remunerative em- ployment.
 It is all on account of alfalfa. There are more alfalfa enthusiasts in and around Demopolis than in any other part of the state that l have visited on my little journeys through the alfalfa belt, and they have good reason to be enthusiastic as a number of big successes in this neighborhood have proven beyond ques- tion the perfect adaptability of the prairie lands hereabout for the successful culti- vatlon and harvesting of the great forage crop.
 One of the greatest alfalfa enthusiasts in Alabama is C. C. Clay of Demopolis, who is a successful grower of the crop, with nine years experience in the bust ness, both here and at Macon, Miss, and has also sold more alfalfa land than any other one dealer in this state. MT. Clay believes in alfalfa. He talks all falfa on all occasions. His friends some times call him Alfalfa Clay" which is not an Inappropriate name for dealer in Houston clay and Trinity clay lands. He has sold 10000 acres of such lands in

Tine pres tise of Trinity college has recently at tracted an increasing number of Ro- man Catholics and Protestants from their own universities. But now, partly through timidity. partly through mis- placed loyalty to their parliamentary representative the reformed" board have made the great denial. If the bill, with MT.

 'r am convinced that Nebuchadnezzar, who eat grass like an OK, as the Bible tells us, knew what he was doing. He was eating alfalfa, that is the reason he showed such remarkable improvement shortly afterward; 1t is good brain food, and old Nebuchadnezzar knew il. There is nothing improbable about this state tment, for he lived on a soil of lime for nation, the original home of alfalfa, and it is a well known fact that 'lucerne Is the only grass that has all of the ele- ments necessary to sustain life. All of which goes to show that there is no new thing under the sun: alfalfa is now be- ing used in a limited way as human food. It makes an elegant salad in the spring when it is tender. but l prefer to feed 1t to horses, stock and hogs"

PREHISTORIC AIR BUBBLE
Popular Feature of the New Morgan.
 Tiffany Mineral Collection
From the New York Times.

From the New 4ork Times,
 A new collection of rare American min- erals and gems, containing two specimens said to outrank any of their kind in the world has just been mounted in the main hallway of the American Museum of Natural History.
 J. Pierpont Morgan obtained the speci- mems for the museum, and had them add ed to the Morgan-Tiffany collection. They were collected several months ago In the western mountains by George Frederick Kung, president of the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society. and were arraigned by him for mounting.
 The principal specimen Is a grotto of rubellite measuring 12ia inches high and g inches in width. In the grotto are three rubellte crystals, one of which is implanted on a growth of quartz, and weighs Il pounds. It is six pounds heavier than the largest rubellite crystals of pale lavender color, one of which weighs 4sI
 ounces and is 1o24 inches long by 5& inches wide. It is of perfect gem material, and is without rival of it's kind among mu- scum collection.
 A slab of gold is considered remarkable. The finch gold vein is surrounded by ] crystallized quartz as a secondary growth. | One of the specimens. small in size, perhaps will surpass all the others in | popular interest. It Is merely a drop of

discovery was made. One field near De- mopolis was cut seven times during the summer of 1911,
 MT. Clay, in partnership with w. IT.. Pullln, has gone extensively itno the bus
 mess of raising Percheron horses on his place nine miles east of Demopolis. The registered stallion, mares and colts are fed almost altogether on alfalfa hay. The work horses on the plantation are mostly grade Percheron brood mares, and they are kept in excellent condition with but little corn or other grain.
 The alfalfa farms near Demopolis are rapidly being connected with community telephone lines, which are great con yenence to the farmers; in fact, the western people who move down into this country are accustomed to phones and good roads, and they are demanding both. The highways that 1 have seen in this section are in remarkably good condition. and they are being rapidly improved.
 One of the great attractions of this par ticular part of the prairie belt is that Ia large number of the land owners live upon their property In the Prairieville neghborhood, where MT. Clay's Percheron farm is situated, 90 per cent of the land owners live on their farms, having good schools and churches in the community and making delightful social atmosphere into which the stranger is welcomed by the older settlers, and where all live in peace and harmony, overcoming one of the objections often urged against life in the country.
 All over the Demopois alfalfa belt are running wells. They only have to be eased through the soil to the lime rock and the water from the strata of sand be- low the rock is clear. cool and pure. That Is the reason this section is regarded as one of the healthiest in the country.

The reformed" board of Trinity cOl- lege, with two dissentiente (Dr Mahany and MT. Edward Dwyer). have passed resolution affirming their approval of the amendment excluding Trinity college from the scope of the home rule bill and their gratitude to Mir. Birrell and MT. John
 Redmond for accepting il.
 However laudabIe may have been the desire of the majority of the board to extricate their parliamentary repre- sentative from an awkward position. they cannot be relieved of the oppro-
 brlum of having by their action placed themselves in line with earlier boards who on many crucial occasions since 1791, have pursued tne narrow and selfisti policy of regarding the college not as a national institution, but as a British outpost in foreign land.
