Random Notes on
Alfalfa BY Experts

The best implement for renovating'
or cultivating an alfalfa field is a
good spike tooth harrow. This seems
to be just as satisfactory as any pat
ented form of alfalfa c~ultiyator and
involves no extra outlay. / believe
Mr.. Wing is right in his suggestion to
use the harrow after each cutting. It
is not good practice to use the disc
harrow, because 1t kills out a good
deal OF the stand.
1t is probable that the poor spots
in alfalfa fields are due, either to poor
drainage, sour soil or lack of inocu-
lation. If you will send in one-half
pint Of the soil to Professor J. G.
Hutton, he will test it for you for
acidity. The acid or sou condition
can be remedied by the use of ground
limestone. # the soil lacks inocula-
ton, you can determine it yourself by
looking for nodules or small punches
about the the size of BIB shot on the
roots. If it needs incubation in these
poor spots and is inoculated in the
good part of the field, all that would
be necessary would be to take sur
face soil from the good part of the
field and scatter it over the poor spots
and harrow in we'll.
The college does not make inocula-
tion material, but you can probably
get it from the Secretary of Agricul.
ture at Washington, D. G., if you think
it is necessary.
If the spots are poor on account of
poor drainage, and there is no partic-
ular outlet, it may be best to disc them
up thoroughly or plow them up and
drill in red top, as this will stand
poorly drained soil better than other
grasses or legume and it makes q
good quality Of hay.
When starting a new field of al.
falfa, 1t is a very good practice to use
oats as a nurse crop and harvest them
for hay as 0 as they are in the
milk stage.
1t is impossible to tell whether
alfalfa seed is genuine Grimm by the
appearance of It, although it is some
times possible to identify growing
plants by means Of the leaves, as thu
Turkestan and the common South Da
kota have a high per cent Of rount
or oval shaped leaves.-By Mamie!

Radiurn Will Not

In view Of the exaggerated idea
prevalent of the effects Of radium in
cases Of cancer, the American Society
for the Control Of Cancer requested
DR.. H. H. Janeway of New York to
prepare an article which would give
the exact facts and show how mistak-

this mysterious substance was the

way discusses the results secured with
radium at the four principal institu-
tions In Europe where it has been en-
ployed under the most favorable con
tiitions-Paris, Tendon, Vienna and
Heidelberg.
The reports from each of these Eu-
ropean institutes Justify the state
ment that radium exerts a selective
and destructive action on the majority
OF cancers, but that this action never
reaches to the more distant extern
sions Of the deeper and more serious
forms Of the disease. In fact, there is
good ground for belief that unless the
greatest care Is used IN the applica-
ton OF radium the more distant por.
tons OF the cancer viii be stimulated

Orthodox Faith is
Dying in Russia

The declining faith among the
Russian clergy presents, say a Rus

when this is added to the enormous
fact OF the %faithless Russian people.
For centuries the Russians, declares
Mr.. Menshikov in the Novoge Vremya.

most religious and church-loying.
Their waYering faith now gets little
support from orthodox priests who
ARE preaching the gospel, not because
they believe in it, but simply as a
means of earning a livelihood" The.
first symptoms Of decline were noted
in the fifties Of the last century, when
seminarians OF the type Of Dobroluboy
and Tcharnyshevsky (two well-known
Russian writer's Of the nineteenth
century became the leaders OF radi-
cal nihilism. The writer proceeds:
For about q thousand years ortho-
doxy has existed among the Russian
people. For about q thousand years
the poorly educated but devout clergy
men have been able to communicate
their faith to the good-hearted and ig-
norant people. But something catas-
trophic has happened, and this great
religious mood began to die out at
first among the aristocracy, then
among the intellectual classes, then
among the clergy. Finally. when
the pastors began TO desert their
charges, their flock also scattered"

radium ID preference I Dgplesra.tion.|
The true position al radium at present
is that It does not cure disease unless.
the cancer il superscial 81 is of i
variety particularly susceptible to M
influence.
IN the last nine years Dr.ssWickham
of Paris has treated 1000 cancer pa
tients at the L~aboratoire Biolosique
du Radium, and has found that While
the influence Of radium on All types
of cancer is favorable its effects do
not extend to the limits of the al.
sease In any hut the most superficial
varieties. The Radium Institute of
London treated 467 cases during 1912.
No patient has been classified as
cured, since ance is not regarded as
tured until at least three years have
elapsed without recurrence OF the di-
sease. OF 10I patients with the Slow
growing, benign form of cancer OF the
skin, 81 were apparently cured, AL

body, is cases were apparently cured,

The establishment OF the fact that

Efficiency
System Is
Successful

How to build better products at
smaller cost is a problem with every
manufacturer, regardless of what he
makes. In the mad rush for supre-
macy scientific management is bccom-
ing more and more important. one
of the first to take it up I'm the auto
mobile industry was the II. H. Frank
lin Manufacturing company, of Syra-
cuse. n. Y.
Survey for the Taylor system Of
scientific management was made in
the Franklin plant in 1908, but the
installation of the system required
several years and it was not until
February, 1912, that the system was
in full control. Almost the first
thing indicated by the system was the
desirability Of manufacturing but one
chassis instead of several. This change
was made with the result that the
Franklin Company was able to pro-
duce an even better car at the as
tonishing reduction of $500 in selling
price.
At the new price sales increased
by leaps and bounds and for the past
year the company reports a 81 per
cent increase over the previous year.
In the face of this big increase. the
output for the 1915 season will be
about double the past years produc-
tion.
one thing the Taylor system has
done for retail dealers IS to keep
them supplied with cars every month
in the year, without any break This
Is possible through continuous pro-
duction schedule and the fact that
cars are built in series rather than
yearly models with radical changes
OF course, the Franklin Company
has had the advantage over many
manufacturers in this respect. as they
originally started with the right fun
damental principles of design and
their problem has been the develop
ment and refinenlent Of this original
