EXPERIMENT TO FIND OUT
TRUE WORTH OF ALFALFA.
Only by This Means Will You Get Con-
v~incing Evidence as to Its Value.

Only by systematic experimentation
on the part of the individual growers
living in various sections can be proved
the true worth Of alfalfa as a soil i'm
proven and a forage plant.
This was the opinion which l.. +.
GRADER, secretary of the Alfalfa Order
of the Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment association. expressed at the or
ganization meeting of the Kentucky
Alfalfa Growers association. He re-
ported that in Wisconsin many of the
growers have been carrying on expert
ments for several years TO determine
the best rates of seeding and have
found that from fifteen to twenty
pounds TO the acre are generally best
under Badger State conditions.
Southern and northern grown seed
have also been tried out In competition
with each other. The reason has been
that southern and southwestern seed,
which usually is somewhat cheaper,
seems to do as well under Wisconsin
conditions as that grown farther north.
The Wisconsin Alfalfa association
numbers 1000 members and is stead
lily growing In popularity and influence.
The policy of the organization is a con-
sentative one. its members not desir-
ing to encourage the growing of alfalfa
in places where clover grows more cas-
lily and luxuriantly.

WINTERlNG YOUR BEES.
Safe Plan For Leaving Them Outside
on Summer Stands.

S@'S HCfT OuLSlQ0
on Summer Stands.
1t is a common practice in New Eng.
land to winter bees on their summer
stands, and this Is a perfectly safe
plan if suitable protection be given.
Probably the simplest and most suc-
cessful method is TO keep the bees I'm
ten frame hives and to replace the
end frame on each side with a char
division board. This confines the Gins
ter to eight frames and keeps IL away
from the cold walls.
In any case the top of the hive
should have careful attention. for that
Is where the greatest danger lies. The
best plan is TO tack a piece of burlap
on the bottom of a super or a winter
case and set it over the hive without
any board under 1t. Then the sinner
should be filed with shavings or chaff.
This arrangement allows for the grad
ual escape of moisture from the hive
and gives greater satisfaction than
the use of a board over the hive. An
ordinary hive cover may be used. but
the new metal root double cover il
much to be preferred.
When this general plan is adopted II
is n simple matter to feed the bees
even In winter by using the Q
cakes now on the market. These
cakes come in pie tins. which are in
verted over the frames. and may be
slipped In place at any time by simply
raising the super a little.-Amerlcan

power, but will be lowed through by
electric locomotives running on cog
rails laid on top of the lock walls. The
usual number of locomotives required
for q vessel is four. two ahead. n on
each wall, imparting motion to the YES
sci. and two astern. one on each wall.
Filling the Locks.
To fill a lock the valves at the upper
end are opened and the lower valves
are closed. The water flows from the
upper pool through the large culverts
and thence through the holes in the
floor into the lock chambers. To empty
a lock the valves at the upper end are
closed and those at the lower end are
opened and the water flows into the
lower lock or pool in Il similar manner
The depth of water over the stills Of
the locks will be forty feet in salt wa
ter and forty one and one-third feet
in fresh water.
The average time taken to fill or
empty a lock is fifteen minutes. The

Dimensions of the Canal.
For the first eight miles to Gatun
dam the canal is 500 feet wide ut the
bottom and Al feet deep at mean tide.
43 at flood. For the next thirty-two
miles-that is, from Gatun locks to the
first Pacific lock-the minimum chan
mel depth is 40 feet. and the bottom
width up to the Culebra cut is from
1000 feet to 800 feet. Through the
Culebra cut, a distance of nine miles.
the bottom width Is 800 feet, the mini
mum depth 40 feet; the width at bot
tom in the Pacific locks and to the
ocean is 800 feet and the depth As feet
at mean tide.
Both entrances of the canal are am
ply protected from storms and destruc-
tive currents. At the Atlantic side
violent storms occur; TO provide a safe
harbor 4 breakwater extends two miles
in a northeasterly direction from a
point near Colon known as Toro point.
At the Pacific entrance a dixie Is be-
ing built from the mainland asdistance
of four miles to an island known as
Naos. This not only protects the en-
trance. but has prevented dangerous
shoaling. 1t is on Naos island. an alb
rupt. steep hill, that the most extensive
canal Notifications have been erected.

Tobaceosstems For Hens, Nests.

The fumes from tobacco stems used
in nests for laying hens will not in

Some men use tobacco stems for not
only the laying hens. but also for sit

men have for years used them for
nesting material.

Most Remarkable Piece of Engi-

Opened to the Shipping Of the
World by President Wilson-ln-
teresting Facts About This New
Ocean Highway.

s~tupendOuS piece or nglneer
ing the world ever witnessed,
was opened for commerce in
July. One might be led to say that 1t
came into being to the salute of the
laundering guns of Europe as the
great powers of the old hemisphere
sprang at one another with jealous
fury.
The canal will soon be opened off,
cially. When the president says the
word in a short time the world in gen.
eral will know that a new waterway,
'the pride Of America" is ready to
receive all the ships that nations east
and west Of US choose to send
through 1t.
Warships even from som Of the
countries at war are to take part in the
naval parade attending the opening.
The old Oregon, which made a record
run around the Horn during the Span
fsh-American war, and the Olympic,
Dewey's flagship during that period in
our history, will stand out prominently
during the ceremonies.
There have been undertakings, such
as the organization Of the United
States Steel corporation, the consolida-
ton and development of t%ransconti-
mental railroad systems or ~stupendous
Industrial combinations, that have in
yolved a larger sum of money, but no
single undertaking Of actual ~construc-
ton has involved such colossal ex-
penditure or employed such an army
Of workmen as the historic canal
across the isthmus of Panama.
The Canal.
Briefly summarized, the canal ex-
tends for fifty miles, from Colon, on
the Atlantic side of the isthmus, to
Panama, en- the Pacific. 1t proceeds
at sea level for about seven and one
half miles at each end, leaving thirty
i've miles OF lock canal which will be
eighty-five feet above the sea. On the
Atlantic side this level is obtained sew.
en- miles from the ocean by the cree
ton of the great Gatun dam. This
dam fills the valley between the hills
through which the Chagres river flows
to the sea. 1t will be about 1900
feet long, and its maximum thickness
at the base is 1000 feet. At the water
surface it is about 400 feet thick and
extends above the water about thirty
feet. and at the top has a width OF
about 100 feet. The dam rests on i'm
permeable material and is so construct.
ed that it is absolutely safe.
The effect of the dam is to hold back
the waters of the Chagres river and
its tributaries until they form a lake
eighty-five feet above sea level with
an area Of 1854 square miles.
On the Pacific side this lake is con-
fined by a smaller dam between the
hills at Pedro Miguel. thirty-two miles
away, or nearly forty miles distant
from the Atlantic entrance.
Ships Elevated Eighty five Feet.
Ships are elevated to this lake a
height of eighty-five feet by a series
of three locks. located at Gatun. seven
miles from the Atlantic side. each with
lifts of about twenty-eight and one
