SOIL ADAPTED TO ALFALFA
In Regions Of Heavy Rainfall Natural
Drainage Must Be Provided
Few Good Plans.

In the humid sections of the cOun-
try it is especially important to pro-
vide a well-drained soil for alfalfa. IN
the irrigated districts the problem of
drainage to prevent or reduce the ac-
cumulation of alkali is often serious.
In the regions of heavy rainfall natu-
raj drainage must be provided. 1t has
been found that alfalfa requires much
more complete drainage of the soil
than do other field crops.
Where the underdrains are unable
to carry off the rainfall rapidly enough
for prompt drainage, it is sometimes
the practice to backfurrow. leaving
the dead burrows at intervals of rod
or less. This permits the water to run
off quickly in the event Of heavy rains.

OLD COURT PROCEDURE
SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT FROM
THAT OF THE MODERN DAY.
Elaborate Ceremonial and Dignified
Proceedings Were Frequently Dis
pensed With in the Early Days
of the Country.

"Oyez! Oyer! Oyer! Know We
all that the honorable circuit court
of Peoria county now stands convened
pursuant to adjournment"
This is the impressive ceremony
used and the words spoken aloud when
circuit court judges step to the bench.
In federal courts all spectators and at
taches are required to arise and re.
main standing until the court has been
seated.
In the days of 1918 to 1880 things
were different. as early historical rec
ords show, observes the Peoria Trib-
une. Records of those days show one
incident in which Judge John Rey-
nolds was seated on the circuit bench
in Washington county when the fol-
lowing procedure was followed;
Boys, come in. Our John is going
to hold court" the sheriff said to the
spectators, jurors and attorneys who
had gathered on the grass in the court
house yard.
The courts in those days were held
mostly in log houses or in barrooms
of village taverns fitted up for the pur-
pose, with a temporary bench for the
court and benches and chairs arranged
for the jurors, lawyers and spectators.
In general, the judges were adverse
to rendering decisions on points of law
and preferred to submit all questions
to the Jurors for a decision
One instance is cited when attorneys
requested the court to instruct the ju-
rors on questions of law. The judge
after rubbing his head and face with
his hands and rejecting few mo-
ments, said to the lawyers:
why, gentlemen, the jury under
stands it; they need no instructions:
no doubt they will do justice in this
case"
The same justice presided in a case
Of man named Green who was con-
victed of murder 1t became the I'M
pleasant duty of the judge to pass SEN
tence upon the man. He called the
prisoner before him and said:
Mr.. Green, the jury says you are
guilty of murder and the law says you
are to be hung. l want you and all of
your friends down on Indian creek to
know that it is not who condemn you.
1t is the jury and the law. Mr.. Green.
what time would you like to be hung?
The law allows you time for prepared
ness"

CAN GROW BULBS. IN ROOMS
Prepared Fiber Enables Flat OweiIers
TO Have Choice Flowers at
Their Pleasure.

Lovers Of flowers who live in flats,
apartment or uptown houses where
there are no yards lor bulb planting
can have their plants in their rooms
The wizards OF the flower world have
discovered that the rarest bulbs, as
we'll as the common ones, grow their
best in prepared fiber. This is fer
tilized and is cheap. Bulbs can be
PLANTED in this fiber in vases ana
bowls. The fiber is dsmpened from
time to time and nature does the
rest
In the last IS years bulbs have never
been as cheap as they now are. nor
has the American market been sup
nIied with q better quality than can
be bought this season. the Memphis

TIMBERING MINES is COSTLY
Owners Compelled to Put Millions OF
Dollars Underground Every Year
of Operation.

Nearly 9O,O0O,OOO cubic feet of tim.
Der are placed in the anthracite mines
of Pennsylvania every year, if an esti-
mate in the Colliery Engineer, lately
acquired by Coal Age, that the amount
of timber in anthracite mines is ap-
proximately one cubic foot for every
ton of coal mined, is correct. The tim
bered gangways and drifts cover a
vast extent, exceeding 1000 miles. and
the closely timbered shafts with their
miles of heavy guide timbers which
must be constantly replaced, form a
0rge item. The total output since the
beginning of anthracite mining is over
2,500,000,000 tons.
A billion tons of water, or over IL
times as many tons as the coal pro-
duced during the year. must be pumped
out of the anthracite mines every year.
According to the chief of the Pennsyl-
vania department of mines the timber
ing is an even greater expense than
the pumping. The cost of placing this
vast forest below ground is stagger-
ing.
The cost of the material is given as
about 6.5 cents per cubic foot for
round timber and 20 cents per cubic
foot for sawed timber. At the lower
figure this would make 90,000,000 cubic
feet cost $5,S5O,OOO. In addition to this.
there are millions of mine ties, and
heavy white oak is used for the mine
cars. The use of steel timbers, which
are being adopted on account of their
longevity, for main gangways, turn
outs, pump rooms and shaft and slope
bottoms, will add to the total cost Of
mining for the next few years. but will
effect a final saving. Most Of the tim
Der now used in the anthracite mines
is yellow pine from the South.

Successful Brain Amputation.

The Paris Journal cites a surgical
miracle. Doctor Guepin expOunded
before the Academy of Science the
case of a soldier of twenty-five years
of age, who had to undergo a partial
amputauion of the brain. The wounded
man has so far recovered that he will
not be discharged from the active
army. The doctor verified the fact
that the rapid removal of part of the
cerebral matter has been productive
of no appreciate trouble. The oper-
alton depends for its success on speed

choice of the select bulbs. Today
these markets practically are closed.
The Holland bulb growers look to this
country TO buy their output and for
this reason are offering the choicest
bulbs at prices so cheap that bulb
planting is placed in easy reach of
nearly every person.
1t is to the thoughtful lover OF fiow-

WHITMAN TURNS
FIRE UPON GLYNN
Saws Ex-Governor Should
Have Been Impeached in
Sinking Fund Case

Binghamton, n. Y, Oct. l9-ln nine
speeches he made to-day since leaving
Buffalo, Governor Whitman continued
his explanations Of the $40 100000 di-
rect tax, renewed his challenges 20
Samuel Seabury to be specific in his
charges, reiterated his statements that
the Democrats he ripped out Of Office
were removed for the good Of the state,
and told his audiences he would be re-
elected by a larger plurality than two
years ago. He attacked former Gov
ernor Glynn's diversion Of some of the
sinking fund for expenses OF govern
ment saying:
Governor Glynn diverted these
funds and he ought to have been i'm
peached for It."
While he showed his feeling toward
his predecessor, whose financial oper-
atoms he holds responsible for the
imposition Of the direct tax, ne has not
forgotten the newspapers which at
tackled him for signing the law Great
ing the tax. After declaring that ne
was ADVISED Dy ALLOfAey brAcA a.
Woodbury. that his oath CT office re-
CURED him TO sign 1t, he said:
Immediately a storm OF protest
arose in New York City. They said
the Governor deserted the city Of his
adoption. He is going TO stand FOL
this, and he might have avoided II II
he had used the sinking fund. The
Democratic press, led by The New
York Tribune and The New YorE
Tines declared that the Governor, i
he would, could save these many mill
ions TO the city and the state"
In the middle Of his trip to-day he
dictated a statement answering Thomas
Mott Osborne's charges. he SAID: Mr.
Osborne's statement that have cham
pioned Clinton Prison is absurd and
without foundation, as are his other SO.
called charges against Mr.. Carter snc
myself.
