THE GOLDEN SWORD

Throughout the war the Kaiser
has constantly laid great stress up
on the efficiency of the German
sword. With its vengeance he has in
turn threatened all his opponents.
Upon it he depends for the overcom-
ing of all obstacles to his ambitions,
the bringing Of the world to it's knees
the gaining for Germany. of place
in the sun, and the fixing Of Kultur
irrevocably upon all the vanquished.
And what with the manning of wo-
men and children and old men, to
say nothing of the running through
of crying babies, it has been busy
weapon in the Hun hands.
But the German sword is destin-
ed to fail its Master. 1t will make
him a lasting reputation for butch
cry. 1t has accomplished that al
ready. 1t will leave behind it a oam-
nable record of atrocities and little
claim for mercy for its wielders, but
in the end it will be beaten back and
broken. 1t will cease forever to be
a plaything for the mad war lord.
For America is foregoing today for

If your ground is suited to alfalfa
you should be able to get as good
stand of alfalfa as red clover and a
whole lot more and better hay.
On my last year sowing I have
taken 2 crops will cut again about
August goth. then about Oct. LIST.
this 5 acre field lies on the Spencer
pike and can be seen from the road.
A part of the same boundary I
had in alfalfa several years ago
when ] plowed it raised 2 crops of
tobacco and 2 crops of corn one of
wheat and it seems as good as be-
fore sowed the first crop.
l think will be able to get as
much hay from this 5 acres this year
as would get from 20 acres of red
clover.
Try for yourself a small boundary
this next year, don't SOW too much
wheat on this boundary so as to
smother it out.
Will be glad to answer any ques-
ton that l can over the phone and
help you to get a start.

THE ALFALFA CROP

Having just read the article in the
Herald in the Bluegrass edition of
July goth. "On Alfalfa" and having
experimental with alfalfa some !
want to give my experience in order
to encourage the growing of the
crop. In the main the article refer
red to is correct but | differ as to
time of sowing and the preparation
of the soil. You don't want to get
the impression that unless you have
your ground like an onion bed you
can't get a stand of alfalfa, or that
your ground must be turned and har-
rOwed several times to have in best
of condition and have the weeds
thoroughly killed out. OF course this
kind of preparation is fine for it if
you can afford to lose IA crop of
wreat or corn in order to secure an
alfalfa stand. My method of inocu-
latiOn is to SOW about one fourth al
falfa seed with my red clover or the
ground use for my meadows thus
securing a light stand Of alfalfa
which will give the necessary inocu-
lation so that at any future time
you want to SOW all alfalfa your
ground is filled with the needed bac-
terra. BY this method you can tell
what portions of your ground is
suited to the growth of the crop.
l have sown this year about 30
acres to alfalfa and have secured a
good stand on all the ground, sowing
nearly all of my wheat land. Red
clovering being $22.5O per Lushel,
and alfalfa $14.5O it seemed to me
like it was the proper time to sow
all in alfalfa.
Last fall I prepared my ground
for wheat with randall harrow sowing
~ bushels of wheat then the latter
half Of March began sowing alfalfa
about 10 lbs. per acre which I think
with fair season will make a plenty
as a plant to the square foot after
the first season will make a good
crop of hay, as it stools out wonder
fully.
This seed was all put in with an
alfalfa seed drill, which l think is
the only safe way to SOW it, as where
you sow it with hand sower it don't
get in the ground deep enough.

her champions in the field a golden
sword of irresistible might. A sword
against which the merciless German
implement of murder and rapine will
be blunted and dulled and broken
for all time.
And that sword is the Liberty
Loan, the war fund of America and
if need be of her allies.
And into its temper, into its
strength is going the determined
spirit of millions of thoroughly
aroused lovers of liberty and right
and truth. The millions who refuse
longer to see all that democracy
stands for outraged and trampled
into the earth by Prussianism ruth
lessness.
Put your contribution into the
crucible. Do your part in forging
freedoms falchion that will blaze
eternally down the ages the path of
liberty and justice for all the world.

East Prussia" said Col Fair in con
clusion, the announcement was made
that Germany deplored the loss OF 40
900 choice mares from one OF its most
famous breeding studs more than any
other misfortune connected with the
campaign. | am ready to subscribe to
the sentiment that such a number OF
the proper type Of mare would be In
valuable to us today. To Germany
whose horse wastage is greater than
that Of any other country, they would
be priceless. The Jockey Club, its
chairman, Major August Belmont, r.
Ambrose Clark, Henry T. OInard and
many others have donated or loaned to
the Government for term of years
horses OF the type to benent the move

Col. Bristol has had much to do with
the selection of the stations which
have been inaugurated at Front Royal,
Va. and Forts Reno and Keogh in Ok
lahoma and Montana, respectively. He
and those working under his supervi-
sion have been extremely careful in
making their selections. No unsound
or bad tempered animals have been &C.
cepted, and whenever horse was
found with a GOO racing record he
was preferred to another of equal
merit in all other respects. New York
ers had an opportunity during the re-
cent Belmont Park meeting to see

Farmers Cooperation Essential.
In discussing the Governments re-
mount plan In general, Col. Bristol
said:
There was a disposition at first on
the part of some to think that we were
engaging in the breeding business in
opposition to the farmer. Nothing
could be further from the truth. We
have no desire to antagonize the farm
er in his breeding ventures AS a mat
ter Of fact we are laying the founda-
ton for plan which will be of untold
benefit to the farmers and horse breed
ers of the Union. 1t is our idea to
l'reed stations at our depots which will
be distributed to the farmers free OF
any obligation. There will be no serv-
ice fee and every aid will be given to
stimulate the production of the proper
type Of remount without any strings to
the proposition.

creased interest in the racing, horse
show and hunting activities of the
country, as all of this makes for tho
development of the type of horse we
want"

manity. That result only can justify
the awful sacrifice
This is the conclusion reached in q
statement given out by the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor pledging labors loyalty to the
United States and indorsing President
Wilson'S war aims placed before con-
gress. The council had been in ses-
sion here seven days.
The declaration says the peace par
leys between Russia and Germany
have shown the futility of diplomatic
negotiations until the German mill
tarists are convinced they cannot SUI
perimpOse their will on the rest of the
world, and that spontaneous uprisings
in Germany have demonstrated that
the militarist government still is
stronger than the movement there for

White Guards Defeat Rebels at
PetCherSk.
okraInIan Troops Are Fighting and
Will Act MercilessIy Against
Bourgeoisie.

Petrograd, Feb. 1S.-A dispatch from
Kiev says:
White guards, after defeating Red
guards and revolutionary troops hold
ing the arsenal at Petchersk, shot near
ly 1000 Workmen. All who wore the
workmen's blouses or who. had horny
hands were massacred, and all the
members of the revolutionary military
committee were shot.
"Ukralnian troops of the council of
soldiers and wOrkmen's delegates, un-
der command of COmrade KObiubinsky
are fighting desperately and are deter
mined to act mercilessly against the
bloody mercenaries of the Ukrainian
bourgeosie"
lndlScriminate shooting now is going
on throughout the city of Petrograd
both by day and night, but usually is
most general by nightfall. Pillaging,
followed by shooting, spread last night
from Voznessensky Prospect past ST.
lsaac'S cathedral to Galernaya street,
where private apartments were broken
into and plundered eliminating in pro-
tracted firing between the pillagers and
Red guards. The wounded were taken
to hospitals.
Stockholm, Feb. 1S.-Grim stories of
atrocities committed by the Red guard
in southern Finland were told by the
$40 refugees who reached Stockholm
with the second relief expedition sent
from here.
Eleven men were taken from a large
estate near BjOerneborg, stripped and
compelled TO run around a walled gar
den while the Red Guard used them as
targets until all were killed. This is
but one of a score Of similar stories
related by the eyewitnesses.
The Red guard makes a speciality OF
mutilating victims faces, so that rela-
tives cannot identify the bodies.
Six wounded members of the gov
ernment force were killed with knives
when the Red guard captured Kotka.
Murders are of daily occurrence In
Helsingfors.
