FoILED PLAN FOR ALLIANCE
row Bismarck Frustrated Neaotla-
tlons Which Had Been Opened Be-
tween France and Austria.

An incident from Mr.. C. G. Robert.
sons life Of Bismarck throws inter-
esting light on the methodical way In
which bismarck worked out his state
poleies. It concerns the negotiations
opened between France and Austria
after 1853 for an alliance against
Prussia. Emperor Francis Joseph had
emerged from the Seven Weeks war
oesirous of revenge and with substan-
uai forces still intact Napoleon met
Francis Joseph at Salzburg. and a few
weeks later the Austrian emperor tray-
eied to France with his military suite
ana gave orders that the imperial
Train should stop nowhere on German
SOIL. and. in particular. that It should
pass the South German courts at night
In order to avoid embarrassing inter
views.
Nothing marred the monarch's peace
OF mind until. In the dead of night. the
train approached the German frontier
near Baden-Baden; there It suddenly
came to a standstill. The aide-de-
camp. on inquiring for the reason, was
shown a lonely figure wrapped in a
dark military cloak standing In a
pouring rain. The stranger wanted to
speak TO the Emperor Francis Joseph.
Who was het 1t was King William Of
Prusstai
Thus. on dark September night in
1867. did the emperor Of Austria and
the hing Of Prussia meet for the first
time since Koniggratz. The interview
lasted several hours and took place in
the rear carriage Of the imperial train.

writer is satisfied that william of
Prussia asked Francis Joseph not TO

him Of the forthcoming Fsanco-German

Squirrels and Their Nests.

The gray squirrel makes a nest OF
leaves. He Is more or less busily en-
gagged in leaf construction during the
entire year, writes DR.. Edward f
Blgelow In Boys Life. Even in the
summer he cuts off the green leaves
and skillfully packs them among the
branches or in the fork Of a tree, so
that they shed the rain and roof a
cavity big enough to shelter two or
three squirrels Until within a few
years I supposed that these leafy
homes were for rearing the young only.
but in a small grove near my own
home find a number of leaf nests
occupied by the squirrels at various
times. recall wildly the

S0RGHUMS ARE GOOD
CROPS FOR SILAGE
Urged That They Be Grown More
Extensively for Feed.
Plants Need Less Moisture Than
Corn nd In Many Sections Will
Produce Larger Yield Of For
aqe-DesirabIe Variety.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Because sorghums are good crops to
grow for silagein regions of light rain
fall, the United States department of
agriculture is urging that they be
grown more extensively In those Sec
tons to insure ample feed for stock.
Sorghums need less moisture than
corn and in many sections will pro-
duce larger yield Of forage per acre.
When properly made into silage they
supply a. succulent feed which has a
high feeding value. Either the saccha-
rine (sweet) or the nOnsaccharine
(nonsweet) varieties are used. OF
the former the orange and amber va
rieties are the most desirable varf-
eties and Of the latter kafir, milo, and
feterita are common varieties. Exper-
iments at the Kansas experiment sta
ton show that silage made from kafir
and sweet sorghum is nearly equal in
value to corn silage for feeding cows
that produce milk. Since the differ
ence in the results was not great. 1t is
apparent that when the sorghums give
considerably larger yield per acre,
as Is the case In seasons of drought,
and In sections where there is limited
amount Of rainfall, they are the more
profitable source Of silage.
To obtain a good quality of silage
from sorghum 1t Is very important that
they be cut at the proper stage Of ma
turity. This stage is reached when
the seed Is mature Testing the stage
of maturity Of sorghum may be done
by twisting stalk In the hands and
noting the amount Of sap 1t contains.
II 1t contains much sap, the crop is
too green to be made into silage, and
II put up at this stage sour silage is
sure to result. especially with the
sweet sorghum, which is high In sugar
content. It is better to risk frost than
to put the sorghum into the silo be.
fore maturity. A crop that has moi
been sliced before frost should be put
up immediately after. and water shoqld
be added to keep 1t from becoming
dry.

prepared by the United States Depart

A good drainage system on fertile
farm that is not naturally well drained
is permanent improvement which
continues to pay dividends in the form
Of increased crop production. (City
gardens and lawns frequently need
drainage, and If properly tiled.
would be greatly improved.) Tile
drains usually give more thorough
drainage than open bitches. They
occupy no land surface and do not In
terfere with farming operations. If
properly constructed they require al
Economic Arrangement.
The most economic arrangement Of
the drainage system is one that per-
mits the use of long laterals and re-
quires the shortest total length of
main drains. No hard and fast rule
can be given for determining the size
of the tile to be used. Drains should
be large enough to remove the sur
plus water before the crops are in
jured. II is better to use sizes too
large than too small. and no tile less
than four inches in diameter should
be used On common dark silt loans
where the average rainfall is approx
mately 80 inches. eight-inch tile having
q fall of two inches to 100 feet will
provide outlet drainage for 40 acres;
seven-inch tile for 80 acres, six-inch
tile for 10 acres and four-inch tile for
SIX acres.
The proper depth for drain tiles de-
ponds upon the soil and varies from
two to four feet. In heavy silt loans
the depth should be from two to three
feet. In this case the laterals should
be placed from 80 to 40 feet apart In
open soils that give up water readily.
, and where the drains are three to four
feet deep. the laterals may be from 90
to $50 feet apart. In the more porous
soils the space may be even greater.
Secure Proper Fall.
The drainage should have a fall of
not less than one inch to 100 feet II
possible and greater fall than this is
very desirable. Where little fall is OBJ
tanned. particular care must be taken
to secure a proper grade. The drain

Related wedding invitations reach- ing local friends of the couple by the steamer Cordova announce the pros peective marriage of Mir. Jas. F. Hal pin. of New York and Nome. to Miss Louis A. Braun. of Seattle. on June 12. The wedding ceremony was scheduled to occur at the Church of the Immacu- late Conception at Seattle. Mr. Hal pin has been interested in this section of Alaska for years and has been con- nected with several large enterprises. At present his activities are mainly confined to the opening up of the Lost River tin mine, although he is said to be interested in several other mining projects in the Kougarok and else where. The bride is also well known here, having resided in Nome for sev- eral years.
Nome tri-weekly nugget., 1919-07-02

Recent reports of an early>opening of the Siberian country to foreign set clement are somewhat discounted by the statement of one of the Karieff brothers. who arrived in Nome on the Siberian trader Flyer few days ago after wintering at one of the Karieff trading stations. He says that as far as Is known at present in the Anadyr coast section, conditions are such that there Is little immediate prospect of the country being thrown open. and all persons entering the country are still under the necessity of obtaining q special permit. He says, however. that new government was establish ed this spring at Petropavlosk. the administrative center of the North eastern section of the country but no news regarding it's intentions had been received up to the time of his depar- ture. Three factions are still in con-
 hict over the administrative control of Siberia and he is not definitely aware of which one is in control of the Petropavlosk government. He says the first government boats are expect

ed to arrive shortly and until they do it will be impossible to say decisively what will be the outlook for foreigners entering the country without special permission. He believes. however, that the conclusion of peace will have a somewhat settling effect on the Si- berian situation and expresses the view that some arrangements may be made between the United States and Siberia as the Siberians are favorable to Americans and would be glad to have Americans come into their coun- try with their machinery and progress sive ideas. The residents of the sec- ton opposite Nome are generally in clined to the Allied cause anl would welcome the entry of Americans. he says. There is little mining going on in Northeastern Siberia at present. A few foreign prospectors are in the country. but their status and property holding rights are not fully dttermin- ed and may not be decided until the struggle for governmental control
 is ended. Although not inclined to express an opinion regarding tho pios-
