Farm Lands More Valuable

Harry B. Potter, of the staf1 of
Farm and Fireside, writes an article
in the current issue of the publica-
ton entitled, Making Farm Lands
More Valuable" He shows where
alfalfa is grown, soils become rich
er. Following is an interesting ex-
tract from Mr.. Potter's article:
Alfalfa will pay six per cent in
terest on $1,000-an-acre land; it is
equal to wheat-bran as stock-feed !;
one acre Of alfalfa is equal to six
acres of timothy; where corn will
net $3.50 per acre, alfalfa will net
$50 per acre. Every farmer should
grow some alfalfa ..afals
THAT is the statement of A.. p.
Grout, for twenty years grower of
this crop, now president of the Illi-
nois Alfalfa-Growers' Association. 1t
is not a wild boast for the crop that
is creating SO great interest every
where. 1t is the conservative opin-
ion of one who has made success
of farming and gives credit to alfal-
ia for much of that success. Mr..
Grout is but one of many who now
realize that alfalfa is a roughage
without a known superior, and that
If it can be successfully grown the
farm and the farmer will become
richer.
Alfalfa is waiting for an invita-
ton to every farm in the Unittd
States. Joseph Z. Wing, the alfal-
ia enthusiast OF Ohio, says, i do not
hesitate to affirm that alfalfa can be
grown successfully on any farm in
the United States. This is the final
word, for Mr.. Wing. has seen the
farm lands of all OF the States, and
he has known farm conditions from
having met them himself"

Well Matched.

A traveller in the west came across
two men having a heated argument.
The traveller drew nearer and heard:
2"What do you know about the
Lords Prayer? I'll bet you ten dol
lars you can't repeat the first line"
''l'll take the bet" said the other
man, and turning to the stranger,
asked him to hold the money.

asked the first one.I H q
Now, l lay me down to Sleep"
You win,' said the first man. Il
didn't think you knew it,"

( Charles Froelich, a farmers lad,
living near Welleston, Ohio, was am
bilious to complete liberal educa-
ton, but did not have means suffi-
cient to do so. He went to a physi-
clan in that city, DR.. E. S. Higley,
and borrowed from him 500 and
graduated from college as a mining
engineer. This was in 1880. Soon
after the young man went to Aus
tralia. Not word was heard from
him for twenty-five years, when one
morning he came into DR.. Higley's
some money He had changed in
his appearance so that the doctor
did not recognize him, and then he
revealed his identity and paid the
800 principal and compound inter
est on the same to date. He inform
cd his benefactor that he had been
successful in Australia and South
Africa and had amassed fortune.
Mr.. Froelich returned to Australia
and nothing was heard from him
again until the other day, when H.
K. Thorncroft, lawyer of Mel
bourne, Australia, arrived in Welles-
ton and notified DR.. Higley that Mr..
Froelich had died without relatives
and had left his entire estate, valu-
ed at a million dollars, to his bene-
tactor.-The Christian Herald.

''IF.''


II you can win husband without
trying.
And make him think that he's the
priZe-not you;
If you can trust him-when you
know he's lying.
And never even let him know you
knew;
III you can wait, and wait-and keep
on waiting,
And greet him, when he comes
with smiling eyes,
And listen to the old equivocating,
And never say too much or look
too wise;
If you can love him minus shave or
collar,
If you can cook when cooking S
not your aim;
If you can coax for every single dol
lar,
And go on being thankful just the
same;
If you can hear the earnest words
you've spoken,
Twisted to make them sound in
sane absurd.
Or see your dearest hopes and idols
broken,
And never, never say single
word.
If you can make one heap OF your
illusions,
And risk them on one man-to
stand or fall
And finding all your dearest dreams
delusions,
Can still declare that he was
worth it all;
If you can force your heart, and
nerves and sinew,
= To keep a smiling face until the
end.
And never show what thoughts are
seething in YOU.
And seem to feel the joy that you
pretend;
III you can have your say-and then
keep quiet,
And never loose your gentle little
Touch"
If you can hide his weakness, or deny

And other men don't interest YOU

A Peculiar Accident.

Monday morning at two a. m. fiat
jewellers on Winnebago street be-
tween Water and Main streets were
awakened by a crash of heavy plate
glass that must have made them all
sit up and take notice for a few
minutes. The j. p. Burns transfer
line had the contract for hauling the
'Chautauqua tents, etc. to the Rock
Island depot to ship on the 5:15 a.
m. freight to Atlanta, and Ole
Norgaard had charge of one of the
teams, and while driving up Winnie
lago street one of the horses was
taken sick in front of Hagen's tailor
shop. He unhitched the team and
took the sick animal to the barn,
tyeing the other horse to the front of
the wagon. Before his return with
a fresh horse, the wagon got started
down the grade, pulling the horse
with it, and done as slick a job of
backing right square into the big
plate glass window in the United
States express Office as anyone would
wish, providing they wanted the
wagon placed there. The entire win
dow was smashed into small pieces.
c. Bloomfield, driver for the express
company was asleep in the building
at the time, and he is still wondering
what he ever done to the Burns
transfer to disturb his peaceful
slumber and brighten him out of ten
years actual growth.

Concerning The Dog DAYS.

The dog days are hot stuff. They
are also hot and stuffy. They warm
up about the middle Of August, and
are a sure sign that the backbone of
winter is broken. 1t is only when
the Dog Star RACES that we have dog
days, but nobody has vet discovered
what the Dog Star RACES about, un-
less 1t is the sidereal heavens at
night, and he certainly does rage
about there considerable. Which
reminds us that the Dog Star iages
only at night, and it is the dog days
VIC hear more about. There is no
answer to this one, either. But that
makes no difference to the Weather
Bureau, and the mercury shins up
the tube just the same, while man
kind simply drifts along on a sea of
perspiration. The name of the Dog
Star is Sirius. This is because he
is no joke. Dogs become mad dur
ing dog days, and why shouldn't
they? Everybody. else does, and
swears besides, which dogs do not.
Dog daisies blossom at this season
and they are tropical flowers, all
right. In conclusion it may be said
without fear of successful contradic-
ton that although every dog has his
day, every day hasn't its dog, and
the rest of us ought to be doggoned
glad of it.-Lippincott's.

Soliciting for Old Peoples Home.

accordance with the terms of her
will, giving her property to the

Us that he has nearly reached the de-
sired sum, and that 1t is the hope
that work be started on the main
building this fall and that by next
summer the institution will be in
operation. This will be another
great Improvement for DEBORAH and

LORD LOHSDALE IS
 ONLY SPORTING PEER
Interesting Character Is English
 Lcrd Who Is Show in Himself
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

LONDON. July 19.-"The Sporting Peer" Lord Lonsdale, reached the apex of his career, in popular eStl- nation. when he danced measure on the tan bark of the horse arena with the gaiIy-clad wife of a White chapel coster. There are other sport ing peers, but Lonsdale is The Sporting Peer" in the estimation Of the populace. His good natured face adornei with intensely auburn hair and old fashioned side whiskers, his silk hat worn always far back on his head and his big cigar, are the outstanding points of one of the most popular and best known char acters in England.
 Lord LonsdaIe is the Pooh-bah of the Horse Show. He competes with the horses in interest. When this year ne grabbed a rake and turned to helping the grooms smooth the ground during the jumping, the spec tatOrS gave him q great cheer. When the delegation of CostcrS, uniformed in corduroys, thickly spangled with pearl buttons, brought their donkeys into the ring to be judged, his lord ship greeted an old friend with What ho, Bnl!" He passed his ci- ears around. and one coster lady lighted q weed.
 After the judging of donkeYs the CosterS gave an exhibition of dane ing and Lord Lonsdale led the first number with partner, whose cos tune would have made Joseph's coat of many colors appear like a mourn ing garment.
 Lo1i Lonsdale is one of the best judges of horseflesh in England, is

Golf Inform aIity

LONDON, July 19.-The American and Canadian golf and tennis play CTS, who have been playing the cham pionships in England this summer. have given the EngIishmen q few points in comfortable dressing for these games. and not always with unanimous approval. First game the golfers. who on the warmer days duffed their coats and played in their shirt sleeves. This led to a lot of criticism from certain quarters and approval from others It was said that to play without coat went against all the traditions of the royal and ancient game, and that Amcri- chs and colonials. when in England. should do as Englishmen do. Those Englishmen, however, believe in ra- tional and comfortable dress. pointed out that most of the English golfers used their oldest clothes to play ir and that some of the coats worn did not compare at all favorably with the slc3n shirts of the visitors.
 Another convention was broken when one of the Canadian Davis cup team wore pair of running shoes. heavily spiked. to play on the grass courts during one of the provincial championship matches. Like most of the overseas players he was not used to the grass, which was par ucularly slippery after a heavy rain. No objection was taken to his gear ing spiked shoes, though in the cham pionships at Wimbledon these are barred
 Other suggestions which have been more kindly received were the short sleeves of Mr. Mclaughlin. the American tennis champion, and the player.
