DR.. BRADY HAS NEW PLAN
FOR HANDLING ALFALFA HAY

a new method OF caring for alfalfa
hay is being cried out by Dr. J. b
Brady at his upper valley farm. In
stead Of allowing the hay to wilt on
the ground after IL was cut. DR.. Brady
had his ranchmen rake and stack the
hay into cocks at once. II was then
permitted TO wilt in the cock for three
days before IL was placed in the barn.
The hay was then stacked i'm the
barn. which was arranged to give the
hay ventilation from the bottom OF the
pile and from the sides. This prevents
II from heating and also makes it
much more desirable for feeding.
The cattle on DR.. Bradys farm show
a preference for hay cured in that way
over the dry, saled alfalfa and other
farmers in the valley are planning to
adopt the plan.

Washington Needs Stimulant

Gen. PeTshings warning to Americans not to expect
too early results In the Villa chase is most timely.
II is to be hoped that the truth about this will sink
in at Washington. We on the border do not need
the warning the information, but Washington does

But within a few hours after Pershing had entered
Mexico, Washington began to express disappointment
fear of failure and growing Encouragement. 1t would
be funny if it not fraught with tragic posi-
bilities Washington scarcely gave Pershng time to
get his guard the line before it began to
express doubt of the chances of success to worry
the absence of from Pershing, and to imagine all
sorts Of things happening. Washington tremulous
and hestant, fearing the shadows the wall might
turn into clouds and umbrellas in stock.
Gen. Pershing is undoubtedly planning his work
mehOdically while executing it with all possible dis
patch. All he asks is adequate force and adequate
supplies and then be let alone to carry out orders
competence may be doubted-he will succeed if he be
not hampered from headquarters.
But Washington may well settle down to a long
period Of waiting for definite At least something
is doing There is travelling being done by Villa
and his men, and they not running through U. S.
cavalry camps in the night any more. They may be
bold as ever but they learning discretion every

TTALK is a violent form OF physical
exercise with an eight-day main
- spring. It is one OF our greatest
American commodities and is usually
retailed in long, thought denuded
packages. This country produces every
year millions OF yards Of talk which
never comes in contact with a thought
wave or any other obstacle. and can
therefore be used over and over with
out showing any signs Of wear.
Long ago Ralph Waldo Emerson OF
Boston. Mass, who had one Of the best
intellects ever produced in that city,
declared in one Of his immortal essays,
Talk is cheap. but it takes money to
buy salt pork" This statement by
man who was able to think in several
different languages created n sensa-
ton in intellectual circles. and upset
the theories Of a great many Massa-
chusetts people who had been paying
most OF their bills in talk. The world is
indebted TO Ralph Waldo Emerson for
some OF the brightest remarks ever
uttered in any tongue, and II Boston
had any sense OF appreciation she
would emhlazon this imperishable
axiom upon the dome of the state
house

Not Ready To Quit

Talk OF peace IN Europe somehow fails to

long way off. Nothing but tremendous internal dis
turbances in some Of the principal countries bring

The allies, far, have maintained their mastery of
the sea, but on land they have got the of it
almost everywhere. They would be giving up most
of what they went TO for if they should stop
And the central empires have such huge slices of the

Panama Troubles

In the meantime the Panama canal is having troubles
Of its and all sorts of things being said about it.
D. F. Macdonald chief geOlOgist for the canal during
the years of its completion says that dire prophecies
are only lively imaginngs unconfirmed by geological
data The geological story, however, is that while
the canal is not likely to be destroyed by earthquake
any violent shock, there is continual shifting or
breathing" a rising and falling Of the land Of the
isthmus that makes some difficulty and adds con-
tinual item to the dredging expense.
The ground of the iSthmus is rising about three
feet every year. with corresponding sinking of the
ocean bottom outside of the Isthmus. This motion
helps the slides along, but the slides are chiefly the
result Of cutting the walls of the canal too steep and
Of the immense amount of blasting done.
They will themselves in time The lOosened
earth will all fall and the engineering done by gravity
will cut down the grade of the walls; then the canal
will be free from great slides Gossip says that if Gaun
rocks dissolve into mud and let the locks slip
into the lake, the surrounding hills likely to also
and the whole face of the earth; but there is
geological history to indicate that any such thing is
likely to happen.
The Panama canal is likely to live the tranquil
undsturbed existence of duck pond; it will always
have its problems but in spite of tremendous earth
forces to be overcome it is and is likely
to be while lives to use it.
So says Macdonald who reads the stones for his
books and tell you what earth throes and earth
growth have gone in that little neck of land that
hinges two continents and connects two oceans
