SEAT LITTLE GOOD TO HIM
Smart Youth Had Il But He Did Not
Proceed Far Toward His Des-
tination.

An important looking and haughtily
acting young man was wandering up
and down on the platform Of the rail.
road station of a small western city.
He was intent on finding an. empty
seat In the express, which was almost
due to start. Vainly did he search
each car. Suddenly he assumed an
official air and. walking up to the
last car, he cried out:
"All change here. This car will be
left here"
The occupants of the crowded car
uttered exclamations which proved
their dissatisfaction, but hurried out
and packed themselves in other
coaches. The face of the young man
assumed bland and childlike express
sion as he settled himself very COM
fortably in an empty seat.
Shortly after, the station agent put
his head in at the door and said:
Il suppose you're the smart boob
who told the folks this car wasn't 60
ing, aren't yeu?"
Yes replied the bright youth,
with a grin.
Well responded the station agent,
you were right. 1t isn't. The brake
man heard you calling out about it,
and so he uncoupled it. He thought
you were an official. ."-Lippincott's

GRIMM ALFALFA SEED
Large Quantities Of Spurious
Seed Sold in West.
Original Plant, SoWn In Minnesota In
1853, Has Been Made One Of
Hardest Stralns-Other
Varieties.

Recent investigations by the de-
partment Of agriculture have revealed
the fact that large quantities Of ordi-
nary alfalfa seed are being offered for
sale under the name Of Grimm. 1t
has also been found that large guam
titles of alfalfa seed raised under irri-
cation are being sold as northern
grown dry-land seed.
In the cases of some Of this seed
1t was found that 1t was not even
domestic seed, but was wholly or in
part imported Turkestan seed. This
practice Of selling other seed for
Grimm results in the farmer paying
from 40 cents to 81 or more per pound
for seed which would otherwise sell
for from 12 to 90 cents a pound. and
inasmuch as the ordinary seed is not
as hardy as Grimm, the first severe
winter may kill the entire crop.
The original Grimm alfalfa sown in
1858 in Carver county, Minnesota, has
undergone natural cross with the
common variety which, together with
its exposure to numerous severe win
ters which haye eliminated the weak
er plants, has made 1t one Of the
hardest OF our commercial strains.
The seed was produced originally en-
tirely in Minnesota, but tests OF the
true variety since grown In Dakota,
Montana, and Idaho indicate that
these lots are all OF equal value and
are quite as hardy as those grown in
Minnesota.
As it is difficult to detect substitutes
for Grimm In the seed, the farmers
are urged to buy Grimm only from re-
liable dealers and, as far as possible.
to trace the seed back to its source
In many cases the retailers are not
deliberately perpetrating a fraud, as
they have purchased this seed for
Grimm and sell it in the belief that
it is Grimm.
This seed has become very popular
in regions Of cold winters and is now
used not only in the northwest but
In ;le east, particularly In northern
New York and New England.
Similarly it is found that in the dry
land regions where the winters are
severe and there Is little snowfall and
comparatively little moisture the
northern alfalfa SEED grown in cold
regions on dry land is especially USE
full Much of this seed comes from
Montana. and 1t is found that unscru.
pulous dealers have been taking seed
raised under irrigation In that state
and selling 1t as Montana dry-land
alfalfa seed.

Wanted-A New Baseball Rule.

Walter Johnson was pitching for the
Washington team, and MIR. Jennings
who was trying to pump otimism into
his despairing players, sentup an am
bilious young man to try to make a
hit. He acted briefly. After swing.
ing wildly at two OF Johnson's offer
ings, he made third wild swing, and,
entirely by accident, popped up a lit
tie fly TO first base.
As he loped down toward first. and
was called out, he turned to Jennings,
let out stream OF emphatic and pic
turesque language, and wound up with
this observation:
i am a son Of gun IL there
oughtn't to be rule making that guy

Prices Received.

On the average the farmer receives
about twenty-four cents per dozen for
his eggs, net. The consumer in Eng.
land or elsewhere more or less dis.
tant, is, of course, required to pay a
slightly advanced price, but the in,
creased price to the consumer never
exceeds seven or eight cents and. is
generally much less. This relatively
small increase of price includes
freight, marketing expenses, retailers
profits, etc. In this way the price to
the consumer is never an exhorbitaut
one.
II has been found too, that this co
operative association furnishes
steady demand for eggs so far as the
farmer is concerned. If the manage,
discovers through his correspondence
or through the l. A. o. S. that ont
market is glutted, another il
searched for and found Seldom ha.
the manager failed to find some mar
ket where there is demand for egg.
of the grade furnished by the associa
tion. In any event, no egg is wasted;
every one reaches the consumer in
good condition.
Notwithstanding our loyalty to
America, We ae compelled to admire
this Irish system Of cooperation, and
to admit that 1t surpasses our Ameri.
can methods Of business. It is more
economical of time and money. The
farmer gets better prices and the city
man gets better eggs. so that we can
conclude that 1t benefits both farmer
and city man. But the best feature
Of 1t IL, that there is system that
is well adopted to the needs of the
American people.

FAILURES IN DRY FARMING
Under the Non-Irrioated System There
Will Be Years When Best Meth.
ods Are Not Successful.

Failures occur in the best humid
or irrigated country. Under non-irri.
gated farming there will be years
when the best methods, on the best
soils. will not be entirely successful.
Probably as many fail. because OF too
little capital, as from any other source.
Too little capital prevents work be-
ing done as il should be, when ii
should be. 1t prevents saving the big
crop against the year Of small crop.
The settler must have domestic wa.
ter. His first consideration is there

tanned within reasonable hauling dis.
tance, failure is certain, no matter
how favorable the soil.
However, not every person is adapt
ed to this class of farming, Success
depends as much on the adaptaDility
Of the man and his family to the en-
vironment as to any other factor.
Health and endurance are absolutely
necessary, They must be able TO live
alone and find their own amusement,
for the most part the settlements are
far apart. The man who must be
amused, who cannot endure his own
company for long periods. has failed
before his time. Misfit and incompet-
ence will find anywhere under the
most favorable conditions; they can
not exist under the regular conditions
that sometimes prevail In the best
land, and must be overcome in order
to win success.
The Raymer enterprise., 1914-02-26
System of Cultivation.

Cultivation Dy system adapted to
the conservation of moisture ought
to be practiced everywhere. in every
hoed crop, unless one has irrigated
land. Good cultivation is always a
benefit, whether the rainfall is too
great or too small. So the best cul.
tivation that can be given economical
ly should be the practice with all hoed
crops.
The Raymer enterprise., 1914-02-26
Not Much Water Needed.

The experience of the dry land"
farmers of the west In conserving
moisture has proved that much less
moisture is really needed In making
crops than is generally believed in
the humid portions of the country. But
we shall certainly have to learn the
benefits of thorough cultivation to get
the best results.

Charcoal Absorbs Gaseo.

Charcoal is recommended as an alb

where foul gases are present. 1t

FAVOR TRAFFIC MOVEMENT
Property Owners Want Trucks
Kept Off Fifth Avenue.

William Il. May & Co. who are active
in the matter OF restricting traffic on
Fifth avenue north OF 12d street ard
south Of 10th street. so that trucking and
delivery wagons will be eliminated from
that thoroughfare thus relieving the seri-
Gus congestion and making the avenue a
suitable thoroughfare for private equi-
pages, report that in reply TO letters which
they have sent TO practically all OF the
owners and occupants OF properties on
Fifth avenue and adjacent streets they
state that they are entirely in sympathy
with such movement
II would appear that the consensus OF
opinion among the owners OF real estat,
as well as the occupants Is that such a
restriction should be enforced because OF
the fact that the congestion at times ls

delays.

WILL BE A MODEL PLANT
Novel Features Planned for Ma
tional Cloak Co.'s Building.

The new building of the National Cloak
and Suit Company, which will cover a
block front in Seventh avenue, from 24th
to 10Th street, and will be sixteen stories
high, will contain many novel building
and equipment features. The company at
present occupies two eleven story build
ings just west Of Seventh avenue, extend

An addition of Ave stories to the 10Th
street side of that eleven story building
is 10 be erected. All the buildings will
be connected, and on the first eleven
floors there will be an area OF 40D0
square feet a floor. The entire plant will
have a floor area Of about 10000 square
feet. or over fifteen acres.
S. G. Rosenbaum. the president OF this
mail order company. says that all Of this
space will be used for the filing OF or
ders. There will be no manufacturing Of
any kind in the plant.
On the last Fire Prevention Day the
plant was chosen by the Fire Department
as the place for giving a demonstration of
the possibilities Of modern fire prevention,

A Busy Centre at
Union St. and 9TH AYe.

age OF about 100 feet in Union street and
ent building on the site is two story
structure, with a cement facade of q
white color At the westerly end of the
plot is a moving picture show, with a
very attractive entrance. The moving
picture house was leased some months
ago for Desmond Dunno through Burrill
Brothers to Frederick j. O Brien for $3.50
a year. In the basement of the store and
loft structure is one OF the largest bowl
ing alleys in the city.
Two private dwelling houses at the
southeast corner of Union street and
Seventh avenue were altered about eight
years ago into q store, with retail bust
ness on the floor above and the other
floors used for dwelling purposes. That
has proved to be a very profitable i'm
provement and one in keeping with the
section Of Brooklyn.
Seventh avenue is one OF the most inn
portant retail trade thoroughfares on
tine Park Slope. Little stores occupy its
frontage almost the entire length. from
Flatbush avenue to 10Th street. 1t was
about twelve years ago that many proper
t. owners with lots fronting on the ave-
nue. vehemently declared that the inva-
sion of trolleys In the district, and cs-
pecially through Seventh avenue, would
result in great decreased values to prop
critics there The same hue and cry about
property values being threatened by a
proposed trolley was raised when an effort
was made to run cars through Union
street. Probably no one could now lie
found who would say that the trolleys
retarded the building growth Of this sec
ton. Close students of real estate affairs
agree that one of the principal causes
for the higher values in the section are
the trolleys.
Owing to its nearness to the Fulton
street shopping section and to the lead
ing theatrical centre OF the borough, this
hub at Seventh avenue and Union street
is not likely TO appeal to keepers Of large
stores. However il has retail business
sphere Of distinctive character and that
sphere is 10 fashion itself as much as
possible after the little shops In and near
the central part Of Madison avenue, Man
haitian. In other words, specially shops
and little general stores do thrive and will
continue to flourish there In a most salts
factory way.
