Blood-Pressure.

Physicians have always studied the
pulse, because il gives valuable inforrna-
tion concerning the body's condition oil
health or disease; but il is only recently
that they have begun to use the term
"blood-pressure" frequently, and TO re-
gard the amount of that pressure as OF
great importance. That is because they
now have instruments for accurately
measuring the pressure, which previous
Iy they could only estimate by feeling the
pulse.
Blood-pressure, or the degree OF ten
sion of the blood current within the ar
teries, is chiefly significant because per-
manent increase in it is quite sure TO be
followed in time by hardening OF the ar
teries, and by the degeneration or disease
Of important organs, especially the kid
neys.
The blood-pressure is increased by a
number of causes that increase the force
OF the heart beat, or contract the smaller
blood-vesseIs. Any excitement-anger,
joY, fear, "nervousness"--aises ittempo-
rarily but that is OF little Importance un-
less the emotion is frequently repeated.
or unless the person already has diseased
arteries. The blood-preSsure that's per-
manently high is more serious. That
comes from long continued mental excite
ment, such as worry, business anxiety,
or political strife, or from the action OF
certain poisons that are formed in the
system, and not properly excreted.
These poisons come from the waste
products of digestion. especially in large
meat-eaters. They raise the biood-pres-
sure by causing the smaller arteries TO
contract.
In small amounts these poiSons are ex-
creted al once, but in persons who eat
large quantities of meat, especially OF
beef and mutton.-poultry and fish are
less harmful, they are sometimes formed
in amounts so large that the kidneys can
not dispose OF them promptly. When
this happens, especially if il occurs in a
person who is under a constant mental
strain, like the politician, the financier, or
the chronic worier, there is grave danger
of a permanently high blood-pressure.

disturbance, or apoplexy.

Jesus The Carpenter.

II could hold within my hand
The hammer Jesus swung,
Not all the gold in all the land,
Nor Jewels countless as the sand,
All in the balance flung.
Could weigh the value OF that thing
Round which his fingers once did cling.
II could have the table he
Once made in Nazareth,
Not all the pearls in all the sea-
Nor crowns OF kings or kings to be
As long as men have breath,
Could buy that thing OF wood he made
The lord OF lords who learned trade.
Yea. but his hammer still is shown
BY honest hands that toll,
And round his table men sit down;
And all are equals, with crown
Nor gold nor pearls can soil
The-sAop at Nazareth was bare
But Brotherhood was builded ID there.

Amount and Method of Seeding.

There are more alfalfa seeds in one
pound than there are plants on the
average acre of alfalfa that is three
years old. This indicates that it is
not question of pounds of seed, but
of securing good seed, and providing
conditions that will make the seed
grow 10 strong, vigorous plants.
Only good, strong accljmated seed
should be sown-Crimm alfalfa holds
first place as to hardness, and Mon
tana grown seed seems to give sat
isfaction in nearlT every instance.
There is undoubtedly great differ
ence in seed, though perhaps not SO
much as some advertisements would
indicate. The experiment stations
should be consulted as to kind and
source of seed, and samples submitted
to them for purity and termination
tests.
In the dryer sections on properly
prepared seed bed, five pounds of seed
per acre sown with a grain drill has
given an ample stand. Eight to twelve
pounds is usually recommended for
average conditions If the seed is drill
ed IN; if sown broadcast, one-half
more seed should be sown. If a grass
seeder is not available to use on the
drill, the seed should be mixed with
some other fine material to give it
bulk and prevent leaking and drilling
too thick.
Owing to variations in drills, a meas
ured quantity of the mixture should be
put in the drill and the area of land
seeded by this amount noted, SO as
to be certain that the proper amount
Of seed is being put ON. Fine screen
ed sawdust, bran, cornmeal, or parch-
ed nlillet may be used. Inoculated dirt
is used when dried in the shade, but
is rather hard on the drill. Two parts
Of bran to one of seed, with drill set
at one-half bushel of wheat per acre.
should seed about the right amount.
Alfalfa seed should not be planted
very deep-the depth depending some
what on the soil. If the seed bed is
in proper condition, sufficiently solid.
and moist, one inch should be deep
enough. The seed bed should be so
solid that the drill wheels do not sink
in more th4n an i1Nn, which will ad
nit Of regulating the depth of the
disks accurately. The seed should not
be- sown unless the moisture in the soil
is within one inch of the surface-it
is a waste of seed and work to plant
in dry soil. Press wheels for firmine
the soil on the seed in the drills are
very important.

There is little doubt that for the
Dakotas and Minnesota, alfalfa should
be seeded in the spring. Under favor
able moisture conditions in South Da-
kota and southern Minnesota alfalfa
might be successfully seeded after
winter rye or wheat, though not with
out considerable risk from dry wealth
er and early frost.
The cost of alfalfa seed. and the i'm
portance of securing a good, strong
growth the first year, warrant giving
it full possession of the soil for the
entire season. Sharp frosts may in.
jure or even kill young alfalfa, hence
it is advisable not to seed until such
danger is past.
In case the land is known to be rath-
er foul, it should be double-disked
early, and all weeds kept down by
narrowing or disking until the middle
of June or even later. This overcomes
the weeds and puts the soil in good
shape. There is danger, however, in
seeding later than July 1st, that dry
| weather will damage the alfalfa.
