NOT AN ElGHT-HOUR LAW.
Recent Hold-Up Legislation Does
Not Shorten Workday
Minute.

AS a matter of fact, it is not
an eight-hOur law at all. 1t does
not curtail the trainmen's work
day by a single minute. If an
engineer has been receiving So
for working ten hours a day, this
law will raise his pay to $6.25;
but it will not shorten his work
day even the tenth part of sec
ond. This is no more like the
true eight-hour principle than
chalk is like cheese.
The reason why people call
this an eight-hOur law is be-
cause it says that in the case
Of railroad trainmen they shall
get their days pay for the first

rest is to be considered over
time.

GUARDING AGAINST

Big Item in Preparedness as Ap-
piled to a Live Stock Farm
Found in SiIo.

Silos are effective Notifications
against feed shortage, ravages of dry
weather, hail storms, late spring, early
frost, and poverty-suggests Prof. c.
Larsen of the South Dakota state col
lege. He says:
-Four silos are standing in one row
on the north end of the state college
dairy barn. A visitor to the college
said, From distance those silos and
barn appear like one of those ancient
castles with its towers and forts that
we see over in the old country In
these days when there is so much war
and preparedness talk in the air, there
is some excuse for applying it to silos
and dairy barns.
"A big item in preparedness as ap-
piled to live stock farm is to have a
silo. Just now seems to be the time
when money is appropriated for pre-
paredness. Why should not every
farmer make an appropriation for pre-
paredress in the shape of silo? A
elo will pay for itself in two years,

nothing. At every fresh step in the
forced acquaintance the newcomer
was painstakingly developing new an
tagonisms. Sooner or later, Brouillard
knew, it would come to an open rup
ture, but he was hoping that the actua
hostilities could be postponed until
| after Hosford had worn cut his tenn
| porary welcome as guest in the engi
neers' mess.
For time the big man in the easy
chair smoked on in silence. Then he
began again:
Say, Brouillard, saw one little girl
today that didn't belong to your work
men s-family outfit, and she's a peach /;
came riding down the trail with heT
brother from that mine up on the
south mountain-Massinga isn't it?
By Jove! she fairly made my mouth
water!"
Inasmuch as no man can read field
notes when the page has suddenly be-
come red blur, Brouillard looked UP.
"You are my guest, in a way, Mr..
Hosford; for that reason can't very
well tell you what 1 think of you"
So much he was able to say quietly.
Then the control mechanism burned
out in flash of fiery rage and he
cursed the guest f1uently and compre-
hensively, winding up with crude
and savage threat of dismemberment
if he should ever venture so much as
to name Miss Massingale again in the
threatener's hearing.
Hosford sat up slowly, and his big
face turned darkly red.

didn't suppose anything like that
ever happened outside of the ten-cent
shockers. Wake up, man; this is the
twentieth century we're living in.
Don't look at me that way!"
But the wave of insane wrath was
already subsiding, and Brouillard, half
ashamed of the momentary lapse into
savagery, was once more scowling
down at the pages of his notebook,
when the door opened and Quinlan,
the operator, came in with commu-
nication fresh from the Washington
wire. The message was an indirect
reply to Hosford's telegraphed appeal
to the higher powers. Brouillard read
it, stuck it upon the file. and took
roll of blueprints from the bottom
drawer of his desk.
Here are the drawings for your
power installation, Mr.. Hosford." he
said, handing the roll TO the man in
the chair. And little later he went
out to smoke pipe in the open air,
leaving the message of inquiry he had
intended to send unwritten.

For Brouillard it had seemed the
most natural thing In the world to fall
under the spell Of enchantment. He
knew next to nothing of the young
womans life story; he had not cared
to know. 1t had not occurred to him
to wonder how the daughter Of man
who drilled and shot the holes in his
own mine should have the gifts and
belOngings-when she chose to display
them-of q woman OF q much wider
world. 1t was enough for him that she
was piquantly attractive in any char
acter and that he found her marvel
ously stimulating and uplifting. On
the days when the devil of moroseness
and irritability possessed and mad
dened him he could climb to the cabin
on high Chigringo and find sanity. 1t
was keen Joy to be with her, and up
to the present this had suficed.

the expression of vital need" he
said after the divagating pause, de-

isfaction than in self-defense.

By GRACE MARIAN SMITH)
In buying alfalfa seed it is well to
test 1t before planting. Examine it
first, and if there is large percent
age of weed seeds or small withered
alfalfa seed, do not use it.
Your state experiment station will
tell you where you can get good seed.
Nurse crop.-Sometimes alfalfa is
seeded with a nurse crop. The nurse
crop is supposed to keep the weeds
down. But the barley, or rye, or
oats or whatever is seeded with the
alfalfa will use moisture and plant
food which may be needed by the al
falfa. 1t shades the young alfalfa
plants, and when it is cut, the alfalfa
is suddenly exposed to the suns rays
which may cause the weak plants to
wither. The young alfalfa may be
trampled when cutting the nurse
crop. All these things should be
considered in deciding whether or not
to SOW with a nurse crop.
Care of Plot.-After the alfalfa is
well started it must be watched
closely the first year. If it turns vel
low or sickly looking, NOW it down
but don't become discouraged. The
roots are probably all right yet, and
If you give them a little help, they
may surprise you later by sending up
new shoots.
Alfalfa which turns yellow is usu-
ally in need of lime, drainage, or bac-
terra, or all three. When alfalfa turns
yellow it should be moved at once.
Take good care of the baby plant and
when it is a little older it will be
strong enough to fight it's own bat
ties.
Harvesting.-Now about the time
to harvest. Experience proves that it
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1916-06-23

| is important to cut alfalfa at exactly
the right time, and that neglect may
result in the dying out of the plants.
Usually the alfalfa begins to bloom
about the time it is ready to cut, but
we must not depend on the blossom
to tell us when to cut. Watch the
basal shoots.
There are always more or less
shoots starting on alfalfa and little
experience is necessary to know just
exactly when is the best time to
cut.
When there are great many new
shoots and these have grown to one
and half or two inches high, then
we should cut at once. If we cut ear
lier we will have taken off the first
crop before the new came on and so
lost some growing time. We want
to keep the alfalfa crop working all
the time so as to get as many cuttings
and as large yield as possible.
If we cut late, the mower is apt to
clip of the heads of the new shoots.
Alfalfa grows from the end of the
shoot as fern does, and if we in
jure the second growth by clipping
off the heads, the next crop will have
to start over by growing an entirely
new set of shoots. If the cutting is
delayed too long, until the plant be-
gins to go to seed, the vigor of the
plant is gone just as it is in any plant
where seed is allowed to ripen.
We must also be careful not to cut
too late in the fall but to leave
growth of six or eight inches high.
This holds the snow, protects the
roots, and serves as a preventive
against the heaving of the ground
caused by alternate freezing and thaw-
ing. Heaving loosens the roots and
they are apt to be killed by exposure.

Brouillard's reply; and with this the
matter rested for the moment.
1t was later in the day, an hour or
SO after the serving Of the hearty
supper in the engineers mess tent,
that Brouillard was given to see an
other and still less tolerable side Of
his temporary guest. Hosford had
come into the office to plant himself
solidly in the makeshift easy chair for

instant she held him with low-spo-
