$4,000 DAMAGE
TO ALFALFA CROP
IN OHIO COUNTY
HARD FREEZING OF PAST WINTER
RESPONSIBLE FOR BIG
LOSS

The freeze Of the past winter did
damage to the alfalfa Of Ohio county.
thai. in tho opinion of County Agent
Hedges, will mean yearly loss OF from
twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars.
This estimate is based on the knowledge
that not less than one hundred acres
have been completely frozen out. This
would have cut about five tons to the
acre and the prevailing price OF $40
ton would he $22.500. In the addition
to the acreage that is total loss con-
siderable other alfalfa is more or less
damaged.

Indiqo Now Easy to Obtain

There was considerable labor in the
first methods of obtaining indigo.
Seeds for the shrubs We're sown and
after the plants had reached their full
height they were cut and carried to
the factory. Here they We're laid in n
stone cistern. Then hurdles We're
placed upon them and heavy beams
laid across the former and secured to
the sides of the vat. the object being
to keep the plants down when they
swelled. Then followed several other
laborious processes. 1t took fifteen
years for one man TO learn to make
indigo, and it required twenty years
more to put 1t on 4 factory basis. But
now, by employing napthalene (tha
substance of moth ballS) enough in
digo can be synthesized to make the
output of the growers of the substance
in India seem Insignificant by com
parison.

Camera Detects Bad Eggs.

Bad eggs are unfailingly detected
by the camera. This has been demon
strated in France, where experiments
are being conducted with a photo
graphic egg-testing apparatus, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
idea of utilizing the camera instead
of the human eye for Gambling is q
new one. SO far it has not been car.
r1ed past the laboratory stage; but
even though its obstacles prevent its
commercial utilization at present, II
is of more than passing interest
Eggs are held in n half dozen oval
holes provided in a metal plate. Their
large ends point toward a common
center. While intense light is passed
through them, they are photographed
A powerful lens is used and an ex
posture ranging upward to three min
utes is made The result is a pic
ture that shows the size of the ali
chambers in the eggs.

Metz lonu Defied Foes.

The fortified walls of Metz were al
ways chip on the towns shoulder.
Metz was threatened by warning dukes
and bishops and swashbuckling adven-
turers-including q band of English
mercenaries who clashed their swords
before it in 1865 But through all
these attacks, thanks to its stout walls,
the place preserved its independence
as frontier stronghold. It's independ-
ence was so pronounced that it evaded
its imperial tax obligations. On April
10, 1852. Henry II took formal posses
sion of the city In the name of France.
and the duke of Guise strengthened It's
Notifications. In 1874 Vauban, most
famous of military engineers, made 1t
the best fortified city in Europe. Vau-
bans walls and forts were strength
ened from time to time, and in 1880
We're thoroughly restored and modern

German war the town was the princi-

BEGINNING Of Tobacco Using.

BY 1860 the smoking habit had be-
come common throughout Italy, and
Sir Walter Raleigh made pipe smoking
fashionable at the court of Queen Eliz-
abeth. Tobacco was an important ar
ticle of trade between the West Indies
and Europe before the commercial cul-
tiyation OF the plant was begun in Vir-
giria, which seems to have been about
1917 or five years after the settlement
of jamestown island. There is a
great deal of uncertainty as to the
facts about the beginning of the tobac.
&C industry in the United States. 1t
is probable that the jamestown set
tiers trafficked with the Indians for
tobacco and shipped it to England, OF
sold it to traders of other nationalities
before they themselves undertook the
cultivation of it.

Be Steadfast.

The truth is that there is no ella
ton SO deep, and no exultation so
long sustained, as that of the man
with the steadfast face, Many man
has passed into the way with the
thought that he was opening a door
into narrow and high-walled lane.
The door has opened to his delight,
into a garden of beauty and of peace.
The acceptance of q heavy burden,
the acquiescence to 1.-THE crook in the
lot" the choosing of the path that
leads To a cross gives a liberty to the
thought, a largeness to the view, an
animation TO the spirit, which is as
far above the calm of a stoical temper
as the sunshine of June day is
brighter than a gary December night

Fire at Middletown Springs.

MIDDLETOWN SPRINGS, Jan. 10
Fire, the origin of which is unknown,
broke loose at ) o'clock Saturday morn
ing in Carpenters drug store and the tel
ephone exchange, starting a confagra-
ton which, unchecked, swept through the
business center Of the town and wiped it
from existence. There was no water
supply available, and everything in the
path of the flames was speedily con-
sumed.
The loss is estimated at $4,000 and
the. buildings destroyed include the Val
lev hotel, the Frost store, Kelley's store,
the home of Harry Gray, and two other
stores. A large barn, south of the fire
center, was saved from a similar fate by
volunteer fremen who tore down an in
tervening building.
