CAN'T LOSE HAIR
Twenty Years from Today a bald
headed Man Will Be an Unusual
Sight.

One of the most prominent druggists
of America made a statement few weeks
ago which has caused a great deal of
discussion among scientists in the medi-
cal press.
He said: 'Tf the new hair grower,
Mildredina Hair Remedy, increases its
sales as it has during the past year, it
will be used by nearly every man, wo-
man and child in America within eight
years.
When Mildredina Hair Remedy is
used almost universally, dandruff will
disappear and with it badness, itching
scalp, splitting hair and all scalp dis.
eases will follow and twenty years from
now bald head will be rarity"

ruff, and that is to kill the germs. There
is only one hair preparation that will
killlthe germs and that is Mildredina
Hair Remedy. This unusual hair re-
storer with its record of thousands OF
cures will grow hair on any head where
there is any life left; it will cure dan

the scalp in three weeks or money back.

SHELTER FOR SHEEP

rule. The breed may also AFFECT the
kind of shelter required. some breeds
being more hardy than others.
The sheephouse or shelter should
be located upon rise Of ground slop-
ing away on all sides, or at least to
the south and east It should be pro
tected from and should face the side
least exposed to winter winds. The
floors should be dry; there should
be plenty of ventilation, but also free
dom from drafts.
An abundance Of light Is desirable,
as ts convenience of arrangement,
making necessary the least amount OF
work. There should be adjustable
partitions forming pens for the differ
emit classes Of sheep, and It Is desir"
able to have door leading to the out
side from every one Of these. The
doors should be wide enough 80 there
will be no danger from crowding,
which may result In broken-down
hips and abortion. II the doors are
closed at all, it should be only in
very severe weather. Corners on
posts and beams where the sheep
come into contact with them should
be rounded so that the sheep will not
rub their heeces against them. From

used In the production Of wool and

HEAD BRUISED, PIANO RUINED
instrument Falls Distance Of Thirty
Feet and SpIinters on Man, Whose
Injuries Are Trivial.

Only slightly dazed when he dropped
80 feet with a grand piano, which fell
ON top OF him and was badly damaged,
Morris Gross, twenty-eight years old,
colored, was held for further exami-
nation In the West Philadelphia
Homeopathic hospital, where the
physicians were puzzled at being able
to find merely a few scalp decorations
instead of the fractured skull they
expected.
Gross is a piano mover At Sixty
second and Arch streets he was one
of several moving men who had been
hired to hoist a piano to the top floor
of four-story building. Gross had
the Job of riding" the piano to keep
it from swaying into contact with the
brick wall. Between the second and
third floors the rope broke, and Gross
and the piano were dropped to the
sidewalk. A corner of the piano landed
squarely on the mans head and shout
ders. He was taken to the hospital,
and q short time later appeared none
the worse for his accident, which he
says is his fourth. The cement side
walk was cracked in several places.

(By J. T. BARLOW, New Mexico College
of Agriculture)
Although it is true, as most farmers
know, that alfalfa will grow and pro
duce fairly profitable crops on almost
any kind of soil, it is equally true that
certain soils are much better adapted
for growing alfalfa than others. In
stead Of trying to adapt our soils to a
particular crop, we should more often.
If possible, try to adapt our crops to
the soils that we have.
In selecting suitable soil for pro.
posed alfalfa field we should bear in
mind that alfalfa is very deep-rooted
crop, it not being uncommon to find
old alfalfa plants with roots 80 feet
or more In length. The alfalfa plant
is also very voracious feeder and
requires large amounts Of plant food
to produce maximum yields Of crops.
Obviously, then, from the above points
the best soil for alfalfa is a very deep,
uniform and fertile soil containing
abundant -plant-food material. These
conditions would best be found then
In our heavier sandy loans. silt loans,
and very light clay loans.
A soil with too much sand, /. g., our
almost pure sands and very light sandy
loans. Is not the best for alfalfa be-
cause "a of the difficulty Of getting a
good stand Of alfalfa due to the blow
ing of the sand particles and cutting
of the young plants near the surface
Of the ground as well as the uproct.
ing of the plants. (2) Sandy soils are
very apt to be lacking in available
plant-food material, particularly nitro
gen, and especially after few years
cropping 60 Sandy soils do not hold
water well, /. g., they have low wa
ter-holding capacity, due to several
factors, two of the most important OF
which are the ease with which the
water percolates away, and secondly
to the usually low content Of humus
and organic matter. Other things be
ing equal. 1t takes more irrigation wa

ter to produce crop Of alfalfa on q
light sandy soil than on one Of heay-
Ter nature.
A very heavy clay soil is likewise
not the most suitable for growing al
falfa, because ~ the roots have much
difficulty in pushing down through the
heavy soil and hence their feeding
area is restricted; (2) drainage is poor
in heavy clay soil and the subsoil
may contain too much water for Opt
mum plant growth; (3l heavy clay
soils are difficult to irrigate, and II
the fields are not leyeled properly,
when the irrigation water is applied
1t will stand in the low places and In
all probability kill the young alfalfa
plants.
Another thing to be avoided in Sc
lecting an alfalfa soil Is an impervi.
Gus layer of "hardpan" few feet be.
low the surface. A layer Of hardpau
is liable to cause waterlogged soil
because it holds water very efficiently
and does not allow downward percola
ton Of the excess irrigation water
This impervious layer also hinderl
root penetration very materially.
Another factor of Importance is the
depth of the water table below the
| surface. Alfalfa roots cannot live fol
any length of time in free water. II
the water table is within few feet Of
the surface, as soon as the alfalfa
roots reach this free water. the plants
begin to lose their vigor and very
soon die. This is due to the fact thai
the roots become diseased and decay
In the free water and also because
their feeding powers are restricted tc
such a degree that they cannot sur
vive.
Since alfalfa is usually planted with
the intention of growing the crop or
the same field for a long period Of
years, the above factors should be
taken into consideration as much az
possible in selecting suitable soil fol
our alfalfa field.
