M0NACID SOIL FOR ALFALFA
Highly Essential ia Any Case That
Land Be Well Supplied With De-
caying Vegetable Matter.

Alfalfa requires in the East a deep,
fertile, well-drained, nonacid SOIL
Loan soils with open subsoils are best
for alfalfa, but it may be grown on
soils of almost any texture, from sandy
or gravelly loans to heavy clays. The
proportion of failures, however, is apt
to be considerable on deep, porous
sands or sands underlain by gravel. 1t
is highly essential in any case that
the soil be well supplied with decaying
vegetable matter and plant food.

CARING FOR FEET OF SHEEP
Trimming Should Be Done at Least
Once Year-operation May Be
Dcne at Shearing Time.

The feet of sheep should be trimmed
at least once a year and as much Oft
ener as is necessary, asserts A. NJ. Pat
ersOn, instructor in animal husbandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
"The hoOf grows rapidly and if the
sheep are not travelling over rough
ground the feet will grow faster than
they wear" said Mr.. Paterson. 'The
trimming may be done at shearing
time, and should be done from the I'M
der side with the use of a hOof knife
or a sharp pocket knife"

MUFFLING GAS ENGINE
Good Plan to Exhaust Into Buried
Expansion Chamber.
Point to Be Observed Is Not to Create
Back Pressure Which Will Ma
teriaIIy Decrease Power
of Engine.

In response to query as to the
best plan to deaden the sound from a
gasoline engine in the cellar, F. w.
makes the following reply:
To deaden the exhaust of q gasoline
engine, some sort of a muffier must
be used. The point to be observed is
not to create back pressure which will
materially decrease the power of the
engine. An effective way to muffle
the engine in question would be to
exhaust into buried expansion cham
Der which is connected to the outside.

To MuffIe an Engine.

The accompanying sketch will give
the reader clear idea how to con-
struct the chamber cheaply..
If it is not practical to go through
the bottom of the wall as Indicated
the exhaust pipe could be led to the
top of the expansion chamber. With
this arrangement the chamber would
not need to be SO deep and would not
be SO effective because of the long pipe
from the engine. If the cellar drain
is inadequate, the latter scheme would
be more practical to install.

BIRMINGHAM TO

LEIAS CHARGES
Policeman Formally Sus
pended Until Accusations
Are Threashed.

As result of the acqhittal in the
city court yesterday Of Frank Leias Of
New Haven, who was charged with as
saulting him, and the allegation Of
Witnesses that he was drunk While in
citizens clothes, Policeman Walter
Birmingham has been suspended from
duty until Saturday when he will be
given a hearing before the police COM
missfoners
The case has been the subject of
much comment in police circles and
the trial OF Leias was three times adj
journed before Judge Frank Wilder
rendered decision in the case. Sew
eral weeks ago Birmingham and some
street sitting at table. Birmingham
In the city court testified that Leias
without warning or provocation walk
| ed over. to the table and struck him
| with clenched fist. He further charg-
ed that after running from the sa-
loon, Ieias during a scuffle in the
street drew a razor which fell to the
sidewalk. A policeman in! uniform
happening on the scene arrested Leias
on an assault charge preferred by Bir-
mingham.
In his own defence. Leias stated he
went into the cafe with a friend and
lOOh a 0(dI at lf1O IdDl6 where
ingham's friends were drinking. The
defendant then asserted that the po-
liceman was drunk and twitted him
about his moustache, which resembles
in style the warlike lip adornment of
the Kaiser, after first asking the man
who accompanied Leias why he didn't
go back to Europe and fight for his
country -
One word borrowed another and
Leias states the policeman struck him.
a. blow in the face, the defendant re-
ta1iating by punching the policeman
in the mouth and then running from
the saloon, pursued by Birmingham
The morning following the alleged as
sault Judge Wilder continued the case
until a week ago last Tuesday
The man who accompanied the de-
PENDANT to the saloon appeared and
swore Birmingham was drunk, and
failing to provoke a quarrel with him
by telling the witness to go back and
/ fight for your country assaulted and
then punched Leafs ,The latter stead
| tasty denied he had a razor or that
Ithe one at the scene of the trouble
belonged to him.
| Again Judge Wilder continued the
| case. Yesterday he no1led the charge
| against Leias without hearing further
! evidence. 1t is understood that sever
al persons noting Birminghan1's condi-
/ ton the night Of the trouble were
willing to testify that the policeman
/ was intoxicated.
Yesterday the policeman, pending a
hearing of the allegations by the po-
lice commissioners, was formally sus-
pended. His case win be threshed
before the police commissioners al
Though it is minated in police cir
! cles that he may resign his position.
