Not a Sentimental Story.

Many years ago little boy was
of the merrymaking he slipped away
from his young friends and went up
garnet to hide in an old trunk. TWEEN
ty years later he again went up gar
ret. There stood the same old trunk.
All, children, I do not blame you for
asking how in tunkett he could open
the trunk and find his own body in it ?
He didn't. When he raised the lid
there was nothing in the trunk but an
old Powered waistcoat and six copies
of Hostetter's Almanac, all the tangi-
BILE assets that had been left by his
lamented Uncle LATE. who had been
a vaudeville star-Kansas City Star

WOOD LOT VERY CONVENIENT
Useful for Fuel Supply as Well as for
Fence Posts and Timber for
Other Purposes.

During the years that have passed
many men have been engaged in fight
ing the forest, cutting and clearing
land of timber, preparing it for the
pillow. In other words, making farms
and homes. The work still continues
in the heavily timbered sections.
Much bad judgment was used in
the early clearing, often rather steep
hillsides were denuded of timber and
the soil put under the pillow, while in
many instances more level portions
of the farm were left in timber. Wash
ing soon followed the cultivation of
such rough tracts, and today many
OF them are badly SCARED by deep
gullies and much of the surface soil
has been carried away.
Every farm should have a small
wood lot. Forestry on the farm is to-
day an important feature of agricul-
ture and ought to receive considerate
attention from farmers. A wood lot
is very convenient to have, not only
as source of fuel in times of scarce
and high priced coal as at present,
but to furnish fence posts and timber
for various uses and to add beauty
to the landscape and premises, afford
shade, shelter and comfort to a large
extent for all the occupants of the
farm.
A wood lot properly cared for will
continue to grow and produce suffi-
cient for the needs OF the farm for
time. And little study of the sub
ject OF forestry will greatly aid in
maintaining the tract in good condi-

NEW SEEDLINGS OF ALFALFA
Damage Is Done by the Tram
pIina of the Plants.

New seeding of alfalfa should not
be pastured. The ground in these
fields is not firm and considerable
damage is done by the trampling of
the plants, especially during wet
weather.
Fields established a year or more
may be pastured lightly in the fall, but
should never be eaten down close.
If the growth of alfalfa is not very
strong the field may be top-dressed
any time during the fall, preferably
just after the third cutting has been
removed
New seedlings may be top-dressed
at any time except during wet wealth
er when the ground is soft.

Squads are ready for the market u.s.
ually from three and one-half to four

they soon lose their baby fat and their

SUFFRAGETTES
I'M sHUNT SUPPORT

Chicago, June 5.-Thirteen hun
dred determined suffragists. dele
gates 20 the woman's party conven-
ton. today descended upon candi-
dates row and the down town hotels
where delegates to the republican and
progressive conventions are quarter
ed, demanding immediate and de-
cisive action toward submission Of
the federal equal suffrage amend
ment.
Each woman worked under instruc-
tions to get a fiat YES or mo" state
ment from the delegates she was list
ed to see. No evasion was to be al
lowed. and every delegate was down
on the visiting list OF some one of the
workers.
The only Nat rejection Of the suf-
frage appeal came from Senator
Weeks. His name at once went on
the party's black list. Weeks was
told that 100000 voters of suffrage
states holding the balance Of power
between the republican and democra-
tic parties. would cut him cold in
event he should win his fight for the
republican nomination.
Suffrage workers are not satisfied
with progress that the party plat
form contain endorsement Of equal
suffrage, nor even that they pledge
the party to submit federal amend
ment in event 1t Is returned to power.
The fight is for immediate action by
which the republican party would
pledge its support for such an amend
ment at the present session OF con-
gress, there being sufficient democra-
tic sympathy for suffrage to pass the
amendment II given support by the
opposition.
