All About Arizona AlfaIfa.

It will be of interest to the
 farmers of the state to know that
 there has been issued from the
 University of Arizona Agricultu-
 ral Experiment Station a com
 plete bulletin on the subject of
 care and culture of alfalfa. This
 bulletin takes up the subject from
 the beginning, showing methods of clearing and preparing the land and the best procedure in making the seed bed, time to sow. amount of seed per acre, etc. It is intended as a handbook for alfalfa culture in the south
 west and gives many facts which the alfalfa planter disires to know. Some of these features may be mentioned as follows: A table glves the limit of alkali permissible for alfalfa land. Slick spots so troublesome on many farms are discussed and means of preventing or curing them given. The correct length, width and slope of ground best suited to the different kinds of soil and different heads of water used are given. Methods best suited to Arizona conditions, irri- gation. cultivation, harvesting and storing are discussed at length; and such practical points as rules for measuring hay Tn the stack. size of hay shed required for a certain amount of hay, shrinkage, storage, etc., are set forth. The latter part of the bulletin is devoted to insect, fun gous and other enemies of alfalfa, and there is a chapter on seed production. The worst weeds in the alfalfa heldS or Arizona are described and means given for their eradication or control. Fin ally, a table, giving the com position of alfalfa in all of its stages as we'll as the food and fertilizing values of the hay and stubble. This publication should be in the hands of every alfalfa grower in the state, and IS known as Bulletin No. 73. The author is Prof. G. F. Freeman, the Plant Breeder of the Agricultural Ex- perlment Station. Bulletin 73 may be had for the asking.

Kansas City Cattle
 and Sheep Prices

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. IA. 1914. The cattle market advanced 25 cents last week, ln- cluding the good kinds of fed steers, which have been selling so mean. Today receipts are 15- 900 head here, and all kinds ex- cept fed steers are selling about steady. Beef steers are under the handicap of an excessive SUD- ply at Chicago, which market is reported sharply lower, and prices are off Is to 25 cents. The big run at Chicago presumably came from districts recently un- der quarantine because of foot and mouth disease, and uneven supplies at points getting stock from these sections. and cratic markets, will continue till the en- tire embargo is raised. Butcher and canner grades of cattle are less affected. because there is a demand sufficient to use all the butcher stuff coming, and canner grades go to fill war contracts. The canner market has about reached it's limit. cows at $4. 65 to $5. killers baking on advances asked during the last week. Some beef steers sold at $9.75 today, although nothing strictly prime was here. Short fed steers sell at SIPS to $8. 75, and there is a better outlet for the cheaper grades of beef steers than for others. Quarantine receipts con- tained some good steers last week at S7 to S7. 45, sales of steers to- day, from $6.7O to ST. 40. Stock CTS and feeders continue firm, but there may be some lower spots thls week, due to extreme cold weather, and reluctance of country buyers to take cattle on in such weather. Prices range from $6. 50 to $7.75 on bulk of the stockers and feeders. Dealers be- lieve this class of cattle is selling worth the money. and expect an advance of around a dollar within the next 40 to 60 days. Sheep and lambs have had a weak un- dertone for several days, but de- clines have been staved off in most cases. Aged sheep sold strong today. top ewes $5 60, lambs 10 to 15 lower, with noth- ing choice in the offerings, total receipts $500. Choice pea fed Colorado lambs sold at $8 50 and $8. 60 last week. but nothing brofght above $8. 15 today.

THE TURKEY SUPPLY

The annual period of turkey slaughter has begun, and reports from the regions where turkeys most abound are to the effect that the supply is abundant.
 In Kentucky the turkey grow CTS have had a good year for bringing their annual crop of fowls to perfection. Dry weather prevailed, as a rule. during the entire period that the young tur- keys were progressing to matu- rity, and dry weather is es- peciallY favorable to the welfare of the turkey that is in the making.
 Turkeys are raised in. all parts of the country and the industry is increasing everywhere, as the people of the United States are consuming more turkeys every year. Theoretically the eagle is the national bird of the American Union, but as a matter of actual ity the turkey has a better claim to that distinction. Turkeys are produced on about one-ffth of all the farms in ,KentuckY; in some of the other states the proportion is much higher. In practically all the states, with the exception of Texas. the turkey output this year will be larger than last.
 Much of the entire production of the country goes to the large cities of the North and East. Much of it also is put in cold storage there, and some of it comes back after the lapse of many days to be purchased in the country of it's origin at enhanced prices. Locally there seems ground for hope that reasonable figures will prevail when the con- sumers go about the business of providing themselves with the material for a Thanksgiving or Christmas feast. = Louisville Herald.

able dinner parties given in

less to try to describe the elabor-

singing like the inside of beehive,
and then out Of the hole popped a
brand new fly, just born.
My gracious, but he was whopper,
and he almost frightened Jessie 80
that she cried, for you must remem-
Der that she was not very big when
she had the Sandman's cap on, and
she kept forgetting that the fly could
not see her or hurt her when she was
with the Sandman.
This fly was lots bigger than the
Ants told you about ia the first
story. He had great long tongue,
almost as long as piece Of garden
hose, and he kept it rolled up in his
mouth just like your Daddy rolls up
his hose. He had two great big eyes
that stuck out on the sides Of his head
as big as rubber balls, and each eye
had hundreds and hundreds Of little
eyes all over it, so that he could see
better. That is why it is so hard for
you to catch fly with your hands. He
can see behiAd him as well as he
can see in front, and he can jump and
fly away quicker than wink.
Besides the funny tongue and the
funny eyes, this fly had two of. the lov-
lest wings, that you could see right
through, and they were colored just
like the rainbow. When he folded
them up they were right on top Of his
back, and that was where he had
them when he crawled out Of the pile
Of straw and sat still in the sun to
dry his wings, for they were very new
and wet.
AS soon as they were dry he spread
them out and flew away. Like all
other flies he was very naughty, and
probably you would like to know just
what he was going to do. First he few
over and lighted on the old horses
back and bit him real hard, and then
he went over and bit the poor cow.
Wasn't that too bad! They chased
him away by switching their tails at
him, so he hurried over to the
screen door that led into the kitchen
and the very minute the door was
opened, in he slipped, as sly as you
please.
There on the table was some nice
cake for supper, so be went over and
lighted on that and ate some Of 1t
without asking permission Of any
body.
After this he crept into the garbage
pail where he got his feet very dirty
and then he flew right over to little
baby brother in the high chair and
wiped them on baby's face
The Sandman was angry when he
saw the fly do all these naughty tricks
and he made up his mind that this ay
would have to go to Jail. He slipped
up beside the fly and whispered in his
ear that there was some sugar out in
the barn and he had better hurry up
and get it. The fly jumped up into the
air as soon as he heard about the
sugar and flew out to the barn and
the Twins and the Sandman went right
after him to see the fun. AS soon as
the spider heard the fly coming he
poked his shining gold head out Of his
tunnel and the fly saw it and thought
1t was sugar so he flew right over and
lighted on the spiders net
There he stuck fast because when
he tried to get away the hooks on the
net he'd him tight, and the great big
red and g. and black spider skipped
across the web and tied the naughty
fly up with a whole lot Of his silver
rope And that served him just right.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot

There IS only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a ruznbling sound or imperfect
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
hanmation can be taken out and this
tube. restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
which is nothing but an iafamed condi-
