As ensilage alfalfa is perhaps not as

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
PAsTURlNG ALFALFA.

Alfalfa needs no special treat
ment to aid it in coming through
the winter in a healthy. vigorous
condition, provided the stubble
is not pastured of down to the
crowns.
Never should alfalfa be pas
tured down close late In the fail.
says 6. E. Thompson. assistant
in farm crops at the Kansas
Agricultural college. That leaves
it so exposed that the hard
freezes Of winter will lnjure the
stand, If not kill it out entirely.
Late fall moving ordinarily does
no damage. as the mower leaves
sufficient stubble to give protec-
tion to the plants.

NEW ENGLAND'S POTASH.
Enough to Supply Agricultural Needs
of This Country For Centuries.

Enough to Supply Agricultural Needs
of This Country For Centuries.
There is enough available potash in
New England to supply the agricul-
tural needs Of this country for many
centuries. says a writer in the New
York Sun. These many deposits will
average from to IA per cent potash
The balance Of the rock carrying this
potash is all necessary for plant
growth
All thar Is needed TO bring this
potash to the farmer is to mine the
rock and pulverize it finely, not less
than 200 mesh. and the entire contents
OF the rock when mixed with the soil
will become available for plant life
as fast as any form Of vegetation can
consume it with the application of
varying amounts for different crops.
as some crops require more potash
than others.
The agricultural department at
Washington has made experiments
with this rock for the last fifteen
years and has demonstrated the solu-
bility and availability Of the potash
when used as above and has produced !
equally as good crops with this form
of potash as they have been able to
produce with the German potash salts
that are supposed TO be Immediately
soluble In water
The writer has made personal ex.
"a a Of fah -
posits in New England and has also
made many practical and scientific
tests on growing crops in comparison
With the German potash. proving with
)ut question that this source OF Dot
ash was superior in every way to the i
ierman product. =
There have been several scientific !
heoristS Of late who have claimed l
'atented processes whereby they could
xtract the potash from this rock so
hat 1t could be supplied to the farmer +
r fertilizer manufacturer in a com. S
pure state. 7
For the last seventy-fve years. up to /

STOP CATARRH!
Unless Properly Treated With
Hyomei This Disease May
Become Serious.

If you have catarrb, indicated by
shifting, stopped up head, droppings
in the throat and morning choking,
there is an irritated state of the
mucous mem brane which affords an
ideal condition for the growth of
disease germs to begin the destruction
of your health.
The easiest. simplest, quickest,
surest and cheapest way to check
catarrh is by breathing Hyomei. This
wonderful medicated air treatment
does not use the stomach, but is
breathed in through the Hyomei in
haIer, directly following and surely
destroy ing all disease germs that may
have been inhaled-the tissues Of the
