Alfalfa

Mr.. Farmer, are you going to
let another year go by without
sowing IA few acres of Alfalfa?
We have thousands of acres of
fine alfalfa land in Wright and
Douglas counties and a large
acreage should be sown both this
spring and fall. One of the best
pieces of alfalfa in the county
was sown with about a half stand
oats in the spring. Try it and if
you fail to get q stand, try it
again the latter part of August.
This is a good year to try it as
the seed can De bought for about
81 per bushel Put on about 20
pounds per acre to make sure of
a good stand. Keep your stock
off except hogs, as we don't be.
lieve it should be pastured in this
country. Be satisfied to get B or
1 cuttings a year as a hay crop.
We have a large acreage of fine
alfalfa land on the Gasconade,
Woods Fork and other streams
in the county and our best grade
upland will grow the finest alfal-
ia with the proper care. We
want something that will stand
the dry weather better than clio.
YER and timothy. Last season,
while clover and timothy was
drying up for want of rain. our
alfalfa was growing right along
and made a fine lot of hay, that is
the best in the world fOrall kinds
of stock. r. j. Gilleland has 4
acres of alfalfl that will grow
from 10 to II tons of hay this
year with a good season. You
know what it will be worth. 1t
is almost a sure crop. What can
you grow to beat il: Land that
will d. this is worth 5000 per
acre. 1t looks bad to see this
cheap prairie hay shipped into
our country and sud to our far
mers at $40 per ton. There is no
excuse for this, and the way to
it is to grow from ) to 20acres of
alfalfa on every farm in the coun.
ty, but don't try to grow it on
old, wornout, upland. Alfalfa for
hay and corn to fill the silo will
make this a dairy country, as
we'll as a frst.class stock coun-
try. Something must be done to
take the place 81, so bran and $50
hay if we want our country to
prosper. Get out of the old rut,
get busy.

upper peninsula of Michigan, their
equipment and their methods and
material for study. 1t is at present
endeavoring TO discover the points of
strength and weakness OF the schools,
as Judged by the parents and others
interested in them. The report just
issued is divided into four sections:
moral education, physical education,
industrial education and general. The
basis for the report is the individual
opinions of 81 representative citizens.
Under the first head, among many 9TH
er subjects discussed. the question was
asked of parents. DO you believe that
sex hygiene should be taught in the
schools?' To this question, 80 replied
yes" while us opposed such in
struction; six made qualified replies.
Commenting on these answers, the
report says that the replies indicate
that patrons of schools are not ready
as yet to have sex hygiene taught in
the schools. Doubtless but few
teachers are qualified to teach the
subject WE'LL" says the report, land
TO teach II poorly would be much
worse than not to teach 1t at all" The
bureau also endeavored to get the
point of view OF the pupil. At Hough-
ton, two lectures on sex hygiene were
given to boys and two to girls. Some
time after the lectures, the boys and
girls were segregated and were asked:
Did you learn anything of value at
the last lecture on sex hygiene
Ninety boys stated that they had
learned something of value and eight
that they had not while 81 girls re-
garded the lecture as of value and 20
did not When asked: do you favor
another lecture" So boys were in IA
vor of further instruction and 10 were
opposed TO it, while A girls were in
favor and 80 were opposed to the
proposition. This report, says The
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. emphasizes the points which
have been previously brought out, I'M
til we know what should be taught
pupils at different ages, until we have
formulated definite graded course OF
instruction and have trained teachers
to give this instruction, the PROPOSE
ton for teaching sex hygiene in the
public schools should be approached
with the utmost caution. In no case
should an effort be made to force such
instruction on the pupils or on the
community. When the parents of chill
dren are convinced. by a large major
ity, OF the advisability of such instruc-
ton. it should be provided. Premature
efforts to place such subjects on the
school curriculum in advance OF pub
lie opinion can only cause misunder-
standing and trouble.

dette the world loses one of the most
unique characters Of modern times and
q man who possibly had a larger num-
Der OF friends IN proportion TO his enc
mics than any other. The secret OF
HIS great success as a humOrist and
what made HIS personality so attractive
was the fact that the humor for which
he was famous was spontaneous. 1t
sprang from the man himself and was
totally lacking in the sting which some
humorists cannot avoid placing at the
point OF their writings and sayings.
Humor flowed as easily and natur-
ally from Bob Burdette as the limpid
waters flow through the outlet Of
lake. HIS philosophy was not forced
nor did IL SIT on him as a mask hiding
a grouchy. churlish disposition 20 all

The Round ShouIdered Child.

The slouching. weak-chested, round
backed schoolgirl who is daily re-
proved by her parents for not stand
ing erect can't help herself. She isn't
careless; she has a normal desire to
look well, but there is something
wrong with her spine. Scolding won't
correct her bad posture. She needs
physical culture. Perhaps she also
needs internal medicine, or even ap-
paratus for her spine.
One of the worst things which
could happen to such a child is the
application of a shoulder brace. II
her muscles and ligaments are too
weak to support her shoulders, it
would be simply adding to the
weakness by taking away from
those muscles all their function.
When a child Is yet too weak to walk
we do not bind its legs in splints; we
encourage the child to keep trying,
and eventually his muscles become
strong enough to support him in walk

One cold. clustering day in Novem-
Der 1 took my winter overcOat out of
the bag where it had been placed the
autumn before to put It in commission
for the winter. j rammed my right
hand down into the pockets-why I
know not-and felt kid. Taking 1t out,
I found a pair of No. Iady's gloves.
There was a slight odor of perfume
about them that the odor OF moth Dails
had not entirely destroyed. But per-
haps this was imagination
thinking that I might have some
one else's coat, looked at the makers
name. 1t was that of my tailor. There
was no such mistake. Perhaps there
might be something else I'm the coat L

had / been when spring was coming

ma canal. 1 had taken the overcoat
with me, using it for the first few days.
During the homeward voyage I had
noticed a young lady travelling with
her mother and young man who was
attentive to her. The girl I admired;
to the man I took a dislike. On the
evening before our arrival at New
York I was seated near this couple.
The wind was chilly, and I wore my
overcoat Wishing to smoke, 1 went

a steamer chair. Meeting a friend,
consented to go with him to the smok-
ing room. remained there till all had
turned in, then, remembering my over
coat, went on deck for it and found it
in the chair where had left it.
MY solution was this: The girl near
whom had been sitting, feeling chilly,
had put on my coat or thrown it over
her. The fellow was a lover and had
been dismissed. The girls letters had
been returned, and she had slipped
them temporarily in the coat pocket.
Having the gloves in her hand, she
slipped them in the other pocket.

hypothesis, but it was the best could

that I had seen the lady go ashore

The increasing displacement In this
country of homemade bread by the
bakery loaf has been accompanied by
a growing attention to the sanitary
aspects of the baking industry. At
tempts, in large part successful, have
been made to improve the conditions
under which bread is prepared in city
bakeries. II is evident, however. that
the conditions of distribution as well
as of preparation need to be safeguard
ed. We have already commented on
the possible dangers OF bacterial con-
tamination of bread through handling
by typhoid or other disease carriers
Recent studies have added TO the evil
dence we surveyed at that time. In
a paper by Jacobs, LeClerc and Mason
of the United States department Of
agriculture II is shown that the sur
face of wrapped bread purchased from
retail markets is more nearly free
from organisms than unwrapped bread
obtained at the same time from the
same sources; Bacillus coli was found
more than eight times as frequently in
the unwrapped loayes. This result is
substantially the same as that OBJ
tanned by Katherine Howell on which
our previous discussion of this sub
ject was based. CuriCusly enough,
these latter writer's make no reference
to Miss Howell's work. With respect
to the effect OF wrapping on the pala-
liability and general quality Of bread,
the conclusions OF Jacobs, LeClerc
and Mason are generally favorable.
They state that, while bread as 1t
comes from the oven has a sterile
crust, 1t may become contaminated
with organisms while cooling in the
laboratory and therefore should be
wrapped as soon as 1t is sufficiently
cooled, a period which they fix at ap-
proximately three hours. In their dis
cussion, however, these writer's do not
sufficiently discriminate between the
sanitary importance of organisms
such as molds or harmless air bac-
terra, and definite pathogenic mi
