study the human hibernators there.
these poor peasants have very Iii
lie to do in the winter and very little

beds with a bottle of water and a
few loaves, and sleep and nibble,

spring.
"A man of 1SO pounds will sleep As
hours, awake and take a sip of water
and a mouthful OF bread. then fall
asleep again for As hours more. A
loaf and a bottle OF water will last
him a fortnight. When, four months
later, he rises, pale and weak, and
begins to plow the melted SOIL, his $50
pounds has fallen to ITO, Pit other
wise he is well enough. InG I'd. these
Pskoy ,hibernators are note@ for their

CANAL SLIDE
WAS TWO MONTHS
AFTER OPENING

Following Is the official report, In
part, of the recent slides that temper
ariIy blocked traffic through the Pa
mama canal: ....-...
A large slide on the east bank OF
Culebra cut, directly north OF Gold hill
moving between sp. M, Wednesday,
October. IL, and 8 a. m, Thursday,
October Is, carried about 725, 900 cubic
yards of earth and rock into the canal
prism, and blocked the channel for
1000 feet to the passage of vessels lar.
ger than two-boats, causing the suspen-
sion OF traffic. This Aoccurred two
months, to the das, after the official
opening of the canal to commercial
traffic. r. -. SIS
The big dredge5 were working at
Cucaracha slide. south: of Gold hill. at
the time the slide started, and with
commendable foresight on the part of
Messrs. Comber and Macfarlane steps
were taken to move them northward;
but for this action the results secur-
ed could not have been accomplished,
as the condition Of the channel was
such that loaded barges could not be
passed through the slide. The dredges
were worked under triple shift. The
15-yard dipper dfedges Gamboa and
Paraiso, and the 5.yard dipper dredge
Mindi, began excavation at the north
side of the slide during the night OF
October ILLS, while the mass was still
In motion. The dipper dredge Carde-
mas was added to the fleet on October
Is, and during the 10th an extension
OF discharge pipe @as laid from point
opposite Cncaracha slide, which allow
ed. the pipeline suction dredge No. SO
to take part In the work.
The channel was cleared sufficiently
by noon of Tuesday, October 20, to al
low the passage during the afternoon
of seven vessels, which had been de-
layed at the south end of the canal.
The vessels had been ataken to Pedro
Miguel lock and moored alongside the
approach piers and within the lock.
The actual passage of the seven
through the cut occupied about four
hours; they followed each other at in
tervals of about half an hour, propel.
led by their own power, but passing
the slide under the control of a tug

course. Thirteen vessels were await
ing passage from the Atlantic en-
trance: nine ofathem were transferred

south of Gatun.. Lecks. son October 20,
and are being handled through the
cut today.
The. slide which blocked the canal
is 200 feet long. extending from sta.
ton No. 1775 to station No. 1856. and
broke back about 1000 feet from the
center lire of the channel. It occur
red in a part Of the bank formerly In.
volyed in the east Culebra slide, and
is designated as the New Cniebra'
slide. The old slide appeared to be
dead, and the channel opposite 1t had
been cleared to almost full width and
depth. At the present time, no future
movement Is indicated. but practically
all OF the 725, 900 cubic yards involved
in the movement OF October 14-15 will
have to be dredge6 from the prism,
which may cause further motion.

season. When it is planted in the
spring, the first season is required for
getting the crop started. In western
Kansas spring seeding is advised.
Alfalfa responds readily to careful
treatment The old crop will be bet
ter for timely cultivation. It is not
considered good practice, however, to
use an implement which seriously
bruises or cuts the crown of the plant.
Alfalfa crowns which are cut or mu-
tilated are susceptible to disease. AL
falfa cultivators are on the market
now, that stir the surface of the
ground without injuring the plants.
Many growers get good results by u.s.
ing a common harrow with the teeth
well slanted. Often a good soil mulch
may be maintained by running over
the field harrow or good alfalfa cul-
tivator once after each cutting.
If the alfalfa hay is to be used for
horse feed, it is well not to cut it IN
til it IS as much as one-fourth in
bloom. If the hay is to be used for
cattle, 1t is better practice to cut
when one-tenth in bloom. When the
new shoots, at the crown Of the plant,
are one or two inches long, the hay
should be cut even if it has not bloom
ed freely. Better hay is obtained in
Kansas by curing in the windrow in
preference to the swath. If cured
thoroughly in the swath and then
raked, many leaves are lost; and. the
leaves are the most valuable part Of
the hay. When cured slowly in the
windrow, the leaves draw the sap out
Of the stem and there is less danger
of stack burning after the hay is put
up than if it had been cured rapidly
by being spread out to bright sun
light.
