That lawyers seem unable to make
their own Wills has again been Illus
trated by the fact that the will of
Lord LANDAU, the noted English
judge, who died q month or two ago,
has been found in a very incomplete
condition. Probably the most extraor-
binary case of a lawyers will that led
to many legal difficulties, was that Of
Lord st. Leonards, who died in 1875.
He boosted that he would leave behind
him an absolutely perfect last will ana
testament, and spent years in drafting
It.. To secure this precious document
he had a box specially made, which
never left his room except In his or
his daughters custody. But when the
box was opened after his death, in
1875, 1t was found to be empty, and
the testator's intentions had to be
proved FROM the recollection Of It's con
tents by his daughter, who had acted
as his amanuensis.

Barley yielded 80 bushels per acre

similar results. Alfalfa sod yielded

Alfalfa has high feeding value, as

due to its digestibility and its compost

Prof. P. G. Holden, director Of the

the international Harvester Company
Of New Jersey, has planned and put
into operation a new method of ex-
tending agricultural knowledge.
Holden was the originator Of agri-
cultural demonstration trains; OF ag-
ricultural short courses, and many
other effective plans, through the
agency of which millions of dollars
have been added to the agricultural
wealth of this country.
The latest plan Of Holden is to
place alfalfa upon every farm. There
are three prominent features in his

Great Meeting In Ohio.

At one meeting in Ohio upon the
farm of Joseph e. Wing, near Mechan-
icsburg, nearly 1000 people gathered
from all parts of Ohio and adjoining
states to learn more about alfalfa. At
this great meeting the Ohio State Al
falfa Growers association was organ
lied. Over 300 automobiles made up
the alfalfa train. 1t is recorded as
the greatest agricultural ~assemblage
in the history of Ohio. Other Ohio
counties where the work has been
taken up report success on every
hand.
Sangamon and Kane counties, ILL
nois, have both conducted great cam
paigns. At one meeting in Williams
vile, ILL.,, over 1900 farmers came to
hear the alfalfa lecturers.
In all of these campaigns which
were conducted within a period OF
.ocut two months nearly $4,000 farm
ors lave been reached with the gos'
q Of alfalfa.
{ a result also OF the campaign
it is conservatively estimated
200, 900 acres of alfalfa will be
seeded during this and the coming
season.
Such is the result of the initial work
of campaigning for alfalfa, but vastly
more than this tangible result has
been accomplished. Every farmer
throughout the region where the work
was conducted is talking about al
falfa. The cooperation of the schools
in the territory is a very important
and effective feature. School officials,
from the highest to tho lowest, have
never failed. to appreciate the oppor-
tunity.
Professor Holden has expressed
himself as considering it the most
wonderful experience and the most
beneficial trip from the farm stand
point that he has ever taken.

that alfalfa Is the most profitable crop
ne can grow; that it can be grown
profitably upon every farm; that 1t en-

f. hulates live stock growing and DIAL

Entertainment of Last Evening
Marks Close of Hauff MusicalsS

Prof. w. E. Hauff gave his far
well recital last night at Grace M
E. Church, South. During his stay
in Cambridge he has frequently CIV
en- concerts for himself, and also as
sisted at the various entertainments
given by churches and charitable
organizations. Upon these oc&a-
sions, Mr.. Hauff has been aided by
his talented family, his wife, Mfs.
Emile Hauff, possessing very
musical voice, and his daughtfr,
Magdalena, being gifted to bdth.
vocal and instrumental music.
Prof. Hauff also enjoys the reHu-
tation of being an excellent vFo-
linist, and in addition to this. ihe
is a very able composer One OF
the most attractive selections en-
dered last night was a composition
by himself, entitled, Three Cheers
for the Red, White and Blue" A
piano duet by Mrs. John Pritchftt
and the professor, called 1.-THE
Sleigh Ride" was very well Re
ceived. A recitation by Miss
liam Sherman added very mater
to the entertainment of the eW-
ing. Solos were sung by Mrs. J. IN
E. Croft, a former Cambridge&n,
who has recently returned to this
city from Lebanon, Pa. The pa
raca Orchestra played several very
pretty numbers.
This afternoon Prof. Hauff left
on the train for Elkins, w. VA,
where he will be an instructor In
music and teach German at the
Davis and Elkins College, and he
will also play pipe organ in pne
of the churches of that city. Prof.
Hauff regrets leaving Cambrid3Ee,
and he feels thankful to the pub
lie in general for the many ki{1d-
nesses extended him during his
residence in this city, and Camhr4dgel
feels equally as sorry over the
loss of such a valuable citizen.
