For instance, twenty years ago al
falfa was practically a stranger. III
Wisconsin, but Its introduction and
dissemination havgg gore on at such
rapid pace That it seems safe to esti-
mate that there arc at least 25OOO
acres now grown In the state.
Ex-Governor Hoard Of Wisconsin
was the first man in his state to recog-
nize the great Importance of alfalfa as
a forage plant, and he has grown al
falfa and disseminated knowledge re-
garding It continuously for the past
twenty years. 1t is safe TO say that
Mr.. Hoard has grown more alfalfa
than any other man in the state.
Alfalfa is noted for its high feeding
value and the great fondness farm AMI
mails have for 1t. 1t belongs to the
legume family. or leguminosae. TO
which the common red clover belongs.
Alfalfa through It's large root growth
exerts n beneficial effect upon the soil
on which II grows and through ~
power TO feed on the soil elements and
secure moisture at great depth below
the surface is able TO stand severe
droughts and maintain itself upon the
soil for many years without the neces
sity of reseeding.
When It is desired TO plow an alfalfa
field the strong root growth of the al
falfa will severely interfere with tho
blowing unless the plowsh0re Is KEEP
sharp.
Except where alfalfa has become
thoroughly established upon the farm
no attempt has been made to encour-
age n regular rotation with other crops
On account of the special care given
10 the selection aud proper fitting OF
the field for alfalfa 1t has seemed adj
yisablc TO leave the alfalfa on the same
field as long rs II produced well.
As soon as conditions are unfavora

clover It Is best 10 cut the alfalfa late
in the season and then plow, The belt

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters Of
Christian Charity, s3I Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases OF sickness say of them:
Some time ago we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very Much. Their action
is excellent and we arc grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good reaults in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"
The form and flavor OF any medi-
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children arc concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child medicine" even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using DIR. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff.
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate favor and
absence of other taste, make DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children.
II the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your

Two gentlemen who were playing cards at d club recently were very much annoyed by other members who stood behind their chairs and interested themselves in the game Finally one of the players asked d spectator to play the hand for him until he returned.
 The spectator took the cards whereupon the first player left the room. Pretty soon the second player followed the example of the first. The two substitutes played for some time, when one of them asked the waiter where the two orig inal players were.

JAPANESE SWIMMERS.
Experts That Can Almost Literally
 Walk Upon the Water.

Walk Upon the Water.
 It is a common practice for stu dents of the universities and schools of Japan to go to the seaside dur ing the summer months and there train systematically. Regular courses of instruction in swimming are giv- en to those who wish for them. MT. E. J. Harrison in "The Fighting Spirit of Japan" tells of some of the feats performed by the expert swimmers.
 The Japanese are fond of swim ming, and among the younger gen. eration of students and the coast population there are some splendid long distance swimmers. Schools of natation teach the art in a sys- tematic manner, and, although the best racing records in Japan are not equal to the western, a Japa- nese expert can perform some tru- ly wonderful feats. For example. he can jump into deep water and maintain his position with the wa ter no higher than the Joins, while he fires a musket or a bow and ar TOW, writes on slate, paints a picture on a fan with brush or moves freely in every direction as if he were walking on solid ground.
 The expert, while he rarely emu latcs the graceful high dive of the European or American, can leap from d great height and strike the surface of the water with his chest without sinking or wetting his face and head. In come mysterious way he contrives to escape the painful consequences which the impact would inevitably cause to the for eigner who should try this feat. It is said that the old time samurai frequently made use of this trick when crossing a river or stream. In such cases they carried their armor and weapons on their heads.
 In illustration of the antiquity of swimming in Japan it may interest foreign readers to be told that the i famous "crawl" stroke which occi- dental swimmers first acquired not very long ago. has been known and practiced in Japan for hundreds of years, in addition to several other methods of progression in the water that would come as revelation to Europeans and Americans.

Discipline,

The rigor of discipline seems un- desirable to many in the present generation. They are unaware that obedience is strengthening and peace giving. A military regime, with its ironclad discipline. does not break spirit. It makes men ready for forced marches and to meet death. If discipline hurt the hu- man spirit, then soldiers would nev- CT win battles. Battles would be won by mobs. Discipline does not diminish life. It enhances life and so confers a sense of pesce.-Col- Hers Weekly.
