eighteen of the English had been slain
and only three of the brave garrison.
Fitz-Stephen burned the shipping
which lay before the town; and it is
said that he destroyed also the YES
sells which had conveyed his own
troops from England, to show that
they were resolved never to retreat.
The lordshfr of the town was then, .ac-
cording to the contract, made over to
him and to FitzGerald, who had not
yet arrived, and two cantreds of land,
lying between the towns of Wexford
and Waterford, were granted by Der
mot to Hervey of Mountmaurice. Der
mot now conducted his allies to Ferns
where they remained inactive for three
weeks, without molestation, and in.
deed without appearing to excite any
attention on the part of King Roderic
and the other Irish Princes. This
apathy of the Irish, which appears to
us so unaccountable, and which was
so lamentable in it's consequences,
partly arose. no doubt, from the insig-
nificance of the invaders, in point of
numbers. Never did a national calam-
ity, so mighty and so deplorable, pro-
ceed from commencement more con-
temptible than did the English occu-
patton of Ireland. The Irish were ac-
customed to employ parties of Danish
mercenaries in their feuds They had
also mixed themselves up more than
once in the quarrels of the Welsh and
hey looked upon MacMurroughs hand
full of Welsh and Normans as casual
auXiliaries who came on special duty
and would depart when it was per-
formed. The Irish annalists expressly
state that the monarch, with number
of subordinate princes and large
army, entered Leinster at this very
time, and event to meet the men of
Munster, Leinster and Ossory," but
set nothing by the Flemings," as the
first party of the invaders are called
in these records. AS to Roderic, he
showed no foresight or prudence, no
energy of character or real bravery,
and no regard for the interests of
Ireland as an integral nation, through
out the whole of this most fatal crisis
in his country's fortunes. About this
time he celebrated the fair of Tailtin,
when the concourse assembled was so
great that the horsemen are said to
have been spread over the tract of
country from Mullach Aiti, now the
hill of Lloyd, west of Kells, to Mullach
Tailtin, distance of about six and a
half miles; yet, while this display of
numbers was made within couple
of days march, Dermot, with his hand
full of foreign auxiliaries, was permit

solved to act on the offensive; and as
he had a cause of quarrel with Mac
Gilla Patrick, Prince of Ossory, who,
actuated by a feeling of jealousy, had
put out the eyes of Emma, son of
Mac Murrough's who was in his power
as hostage, he determined to make
him the first object of his vengeance.
Between the forces of his province and
the garrison of Wexford, Dermot was
enabled to muster 5000 men, but his
principal reliance was on his foreign
friends, in whose ranks he chiefly re-
mained; and the Wexford men were
SO hated and distrusted by him, that
they were not allowed to encamp at
night with the rest of the army. Thus
Dermot marched into Ossory, where
the inhabitants made brave stand;
but after a good deal of fighting, hav.
ing been decoyed from a strong posi-
tion into one where they were exposed
to the Norman cavalry, they were ulti-
mately defeated, and three hundred of
their heads were piled up before Der
mot as trophy of victory. This fero-
cious monster is said to have leaped
and clapped his hands with joy at the
sight; and Cambrensis adds that he
turned over the heads in the CHASTITY
heap. and that, recognizing one Of
them as the head of man to whom
he had particular aversion, he seized
it by both ears, and with brutal frenzy
bit off the nose and lips of the dead
enemy. Such is the character which
we receive Of this detestable tyrant
even from contemporary English au-
thorities. Roderic, awakening at
length to sense of the duty which
devolved on him, convened a meeting
of the Irish Princes at Tara, and, in
obedience to the summons, a large
army was mustered; while Dermot,
who had already carried desolation
through a great portion of Ossory, be.
came dismayed at the first symptoms
of preparations against him, and halt
ing with his English friends in their
career of havoc, returned to Ferns and
hastily entrenched himself there.
Scarcely. however. had the Irish army
assembled when dissensions broke out
in it's ranks, and on marching as far
as Dublin, Roderic thought fit to dis
pense with the services of Mac Dun
levy of Ulidia, and of O'Carrol of Oriel,
who accordingly drew off their respec-
tive contingents, and returned home.
Still the monarch arrived before Ferns
with an army sufficient to annihilate
the small force which he found col
lected there round Dermot; for it must
be observed that on the news of an
Irish army being in the field the King
of Leinster was abandoned by u great
number of his Irish followers. The
conduct of Roderic on this occasion
lamentably illustrates the weakness
of his character. Instead Of proceed
ing at once to crush the dangerous foe,
or insisting on the unconditional sub
mission of Dermot, he entered into pri.

The nomination Of John French for
sheriff heralds the recognition OF a
pioneer and a man eminently fitted
for the position. 1t is not said In

ALFALFA STARTERS.

Approaching the benefits of soil
In occultatiol for alfalfa in Mime
sofa, Prof. Army Of the Minnesota
Agricultural College makes the nov
Ell suggestion Of establishing alfalfa
starters or small we'll. inoculated
fields in every community. His sug-
gestions apply with equal force all
over the northwest, and here they
are:
Every buttermaker understands
the necessity of introducing Into the
cream for each days churning the
right kind Of bacteria to bring about
the proper acidity in the cream and
flavor and arena in the butter. The
starter is made by introducing the
proper bacteris into sterilized sour
milk, these bactera develop rapidly
and at the proper time the starter
is mixed with the cream. No butter
maker would think of relying on the
various kinds Of bacteria that are IN
the cream to bring about the proper
changes. In order to make a uni
formly good product, he must have
the conditions under his control. He
takes no chances. Every man who
makes a seeding Of alfalfa during the
spring or summer Of 1914 wants the
highest success with his crop right
from the start. What the essentials
for success are has been determined.
Is it not wise to make 8 Of the ex-
perience of others, rather than going
ahead without looking up the matter
beforehand?
sfmtAlfalfa. bacteria are, absolutely es.
sential to the best success Of the al
falfa plant. One or Mora men in
every community should take 1t upon
themselves this spring to make alfal-
fa-starters, so that the proper bac.
terra may be had IN every community
during June and July Of this year
and throughout next year and the
years following. With small patches
Of alfalfa bearing these bacteria, thu
soil for inoculating other fields will
be near at hand and the 8 Of soil
for i1oculating purposes will be more
general. To make an alfalfa-starter
this year use nj pound Of soil from
oil OIu di1d1l0 Il0lV 6uU Ol6 OH tWO
ounces Of alfalfa seed mixed thor
oughly and SOW on a square rod Of
garden soil that has been we'll pre-
pared. This will provide soil con.
tanning an abundance of bacteria for
more than n hundred acres in June
or July of this year, or in seasons
that follow. The soil from a patch
like this can be used to a depth Of
eight or ten inches. Securing the
proper soil for a square rod is easy.
1t can be sent by nal and the ex.
pense is almost nothing. A half
acre or an acre field is better than
a small patch, but whore one can
start an acre field, a thousand can
start a square rod Of alfalfa properly
inoculated. Fifteen or twenty thous-
and men in Minnesota should moke
alfalfa starters this spring. Get in
touch with your county agent. He
will be able to tell you where to get
soil containing the alfalfa bacteria.
Secure from him a pound of soil and
Al ounce of seed and make an alfalfa
starter this spring."

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT HY.
DRoPHoBIA,

In the current issua of Farm and
Fireside, Herbert Quick, editor of that
publication, goes on with his articles
showing the damage done to the sheep
industry of the United States by
worthless dogs, He says that there
are many reasons for the proper con.
troll of dogs aside from their effects
on sheep. He says that dogs diss an.
mate the germs OF hog cholera and
other livestock diseases from farm to
farm. But there is another reason for
the confinement and regulation OF
dogs, and that is hydrophobia OF
which dogs are the sole source Of In
lection. Following is an extract from
Mr.. Quick's article:
THE strict muzzling of all dogs in
all seasons of the year-for dogs run
mad as often in winter as summer
has been shown to be an absolute pre-
ventive of rabOies. 1t has been work
ed out perfectly in Great Britain since
1887. In that year and the two fol

was passed and enforced. In 1890 the
number of deaths dropped to 1923, and
in the two following years to 70 and
80. In 1892 the ordinance was repeal
ed by the dog worshipers. Deaths
from the bites of mad dogs rose by
the following steps in the years which
succeeded: 80, then 248, then 672.
Mortified by this sacrifice to unmuz
zled dogs the law was passed and en-
forced again. In 1896 deaths dropped
