STARTING ALFALFA.
3 4 Z 4 = 4 = 4 Z = = = = 4 = Z


There are but few farms in Okla
homa on which alfalfa may not be
grown profitably, at least on a few
acres.
Alfalfa succeeds fairly well on both
upland and bottom land, but Is much
more productive on the bottom land.
The rich alluvial bottom lands of the
State give the best results. Loamy
soil or sandy loan is better than a
very heavy clay soil.
Alfalfa will not grow on land having
very compact hardpan, on wet, un-
drained soil or on sour or acid land
The soil should be well prepared.
Alfalfa should not be seeded on fresh
blowing, but the seeded should be
firm with the surface in good filth.
Seeding may be done in the spring
or fall (the last of August or during
September), but on unfavorable soil
and on weedy land fall seeding will
probably give the best results.
Twelve to twenty pounds of seed
should be sown per acre, either broad
cast or drilled. Care should be used
not to plant too deeply. as the seeds
are very small
Alfalfa should always be planted
by itself. never with nurse crop. ex-
cept when sown in the fall on land
which drifts badly. When sown on
such a field it may well to seed a
peck of oats or barley at the same
time If the alfalfa is seeded in the
fall.
A good preparation for alfalfa is to
grow a crop of cowpeas, remove the
cowpeas for hay, disk the land and
seed to alfalfa in the fall. There is
no better crop to precede alfalfa than
cowpeas.

Only the night was his, then. After
all the years only few hours, and
those because his father thought he
was some one else.
The old man stirred a little and
wakened. His feeble hand was lifted
slowly until 1t rested on the Prodigal'S
bowed head.
You have been great Joy to me.
George" he said gently-"a great JOY
shall tell your mother. May God
bless you'll" He lay for a few mo-
ments quite still, his eyes on the yell
low roses of the ceiling paper The
Prodigal groaned. oh. to turn up
the light, to stand forth In his true
colors for what he was, to beg for
giveness and blessing for himself!
George the thin voice began
again. Il have been thinking much
about Harry" The Prodigal drew in
his breath sharply. Il seem to see him
lin the corners Of the room-eVery-
where"
II he could only say II am here!"
But the cowardice that had kept him
away so long held him now.
The old man slept again. The Prod
igal still knelt. but now he was cry
ing. sobbing nolselessly, his shabby
coat heaving. Outside, in q chair In
the dim hall his sister slept, a shawl
wrapped around her shoulders. The
faint, blush gray OF the early spring
dawn came through the open win
dow. and from some stable near came
the stamping Of horses. The Prodi-
gal got up stifiy and turned out the
light. The slight motion reused the
sleeper a little.
He was always a high-spirited lad.
mother" he said clearly. His faults
are OF the head, not the. heart. Don't
cry. mother. He'll come back"
The Prodigal gripped the foot OF
the bed with straining hands. The old
mans eyes were open looking at him.
Il have come, father" he said
hoarsely But the feeble mind had
wandered. The minister was In his
church again. looking down from the
pulpit at the faces Of his people. His
voice was stronger and full. and the
son sank back into the shadow.
my friends, let US sing together
this wonderful hymn: There were
ninety and nine" The voice trailed
of into silence. The old man lay very
still. He scarcely breathed. and the
pulse In his thin neck futtered and al
most stopped And out Of the shadow
at the foot OF the bed a man came
and dropped on his knees.
Father, father" he groaned, don't
you know me? It's Henry, father
Henry. I've come back"
The old man was smiling little,
as IL he already saw beyond the border
land. But at the voice he reused. He
looked long and lingeringly into the
eyes of the man beside the bed; then
he lifted his hand in benediction and
placed 1t on the bent, shaking head.
Henry" he said softly-"Henry, my
eldest son! May God bless you!" There
was a great peace on his face. His
voice was almost gone, but the Prodi-
gal caught the whispered words that
he uttered:
For this my son was dead and Is
alive again: was lost and is found"
The room was very still; the faint,
irregular breath stopped. And on his
knees beside the bed the Prodlgal
watched and prayed.

Henry Rines. speaker OF the house

T Albany, N. Y, Feb. 25.-The con.
viction Of Charles W. Becker, for.
mer New York police lieutenant, of
the murder of Herman Rosenthal, was
reversed and the conviction Of the
four gunner for the same crime was
affirmed by the court of appeals.
Justice Golf, the court held, erred in
many of his rulings at Becker's trial
and appeared to be prejudicial in his
attitude toward the defendant The
reversal was based solely on these
grounds. No attempt was made by
the court to say whether the weight
OF evidence against Becker was suffi
Client to warrant his conviction
It was pointed out, however that
the testimony against him was given
by witnesses Of low class and as much
of 1t was open to doubt. he, therefore,
was entitled to a fairer trial than he
received. = ..-.
s The decision in the case of the four
gunner, "Gyp the Blood Whitley
Lewis "Dago Frank and Lefty
Louie" was unanimous They had
Iaverred that the evidence against
them was insufficient to warrant con-
viction and also that the court had
erred in handling their cases, but
these contentious were held by the
court to be groundless.
