Occupation Of Jerusalem.

The occupation of Jerusalem by Cen
eral Allenby's expedition caused great
rejoicing among Christians and Jews
of the civilized world. The event has
more than a sentimental value. for the
possession Of the Holy City by tine
British makes safe the Suez canal and
provides them with a base from which
to threaten seriously the Turks to the
east and north. In conjunction with
the British operations in Mesopo-
tamla, Allenby's success in Palestine is
very important to the cause of the al
lies. As was predicted, Jerusalem was
taken without the necessity of a bonn
bardment, and Its captors are ade-
Quately protecting the holy places.

a strong force of Turks and Germans.
The British were compelled to fall
back across the Diala and Edkem riv-

recapture Bagdad

was severe and the losses large. but

the Italian line, gaining a precarious
foothold in some positions on Monte

are fighting with the utmost determine

NAIL HURTS ARE DANGEROUS.
Ii Immediate Attention Is Not Given
Wound May Cause Lockjaw or
Permanent Lameness.

It is better to be safe than sorry
When horse steps on nail take no
chances. Remove the nail as soon as
possible and thoroughly cleanse the
wound. When horse limps investi-
gate the cause. The removal of the
nail can easily be accomplished with
an ordinary claw hammer, a small
block of wood being used as fulcrum
over which to pry. If the nail is not
too large a pair of pliers is suitable for
this work.
If not cared for Immediately the
wound may cause lockjaw or perna-
-nent lameness. For cleansing the
wound syringe and warm water may
be used if care is taken to cleanse
thoroughly. The best method is to ap-
ply literally any coal-tar product, such
as creolin, as it is effective in break
ing up the infection. If nail wound
is given immediate and careful atten-
ton the life Of a horse is usually safe.

PLAIN TESTER FOR ALFALFA
Percentage Of terminating Ability
Easily Determined by Method
Described Herewith.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
The percentage of alfalfa seed that
will grow can be easily determined by
means of simple tester. The seed
should be thoroughly mixed, after
which 100 or 200 seeds should be count
ed out. The seeds should be placed
between two pieces of blotting paper
or two folds of piece of flannel cloth,
care being taken that the seeds do not
touch one another. The seed contain
er should then be put on a plate, well
moistened without saturating, covered
with another plate inverted, and the
tester then placed where the tempera-
ture can be kept at about 20 degrees
Fahrenheit. After about three days
the sprouted seed should be counted
and removed each day until about the
sixth, when most of the good seeds
will have sprouted and the percentage
that will grow can be determined.
Some hard seed are occasionally pres
ent in a sample. These may be alive,
but they require additional time for
termination. In the case of Grimm
alfalfa as much as 35 per cent Of the
seed is frequently hard.

Died Of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear of COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 70
or 80 years Of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, it causes
auto-intoxication. The more injuri-
GUS the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
II Is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life. to tighten the work Of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
ing plenty of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double

CULTIVATE TO AID ALFALFA
1t Will Pay Farmer to Go Over Alfalfa
Field With Disk After Cut
ting First Crop.

It will pay you to cultivate the
ground as soon as you get the first
crop of alfalfa hay off of the ground,
especially if it is an old stand Of al
falfa. The crop has shaded the soil.
When you cut it, you let the hot sun
strike the earth and it bakes it hard.
If you will break that crust, you will
add much to the crop. 1t takes nerve,
but it pays to right your disk and set
it so it will throw some dirt, and go
over the alfalfa both ways, and then
harrow it. If you set your disk too
square you will destroy some of the
crowns. Learn just how to set the
disk by experience. 1t will do your
alfalfa as much good as cultivation
helps the corn. Try it once and be
convinced.

STARVING TREES IN ORCHARDS
Neglect Means Greater Loss Than to
Any Other Crop-Food and Care
Are Most Essential.

Has the orchard played out? Has
1t begun to weaken and give way to
the ravages of insect and fungus pests?
Has it ceased to produce profitable
yields of good sized fruit? If so, the
chances are that you are starving the
trees. Fruit trees need food and care
the same as other plants. Neglect
means the same loss-no, it means
greater loss than to any other crop. If
you starve corn or oat crop, it can
be remedied at any time in one year.
They are ANIMALS. But when you
starve the orchard and weaken it till
1t is killed by it's enemies, it takes
years to grow another, however rich
you may make the orchard soil.
