ALFALFA AND TIMorHY.

Where winter killing of alfalfa is fear ed, one-fourth of the seed may be re- placed by timothy and twenty pounds of the mixture seeded per acre. At har- vest, if there is a good stand of alfalfa, there will be but a sprinkling of timothy in the first cutting. The secend and third cuttings will be nearly pure alfal- ia.
 The advantage of the mixture is that the timothy takes the place of any alfal- ia that winter-kills Or it serves as iHsur= anee against failure of the alfalfa, Tests at Storrs, Conn, show that such a mixture becomes almost pure timothy af- ter one or two years, even when Grimm is used. Therefore this is not recom- mended where long time stand of aifal- ia is desired.
 As compared to clover, alfalfa is not difficult crop to produce. It requires thorough soil preparation as well Rs lime, manure, phosphorus, and potash. It will not grow on wet soils To succeed well with clover requires that the same con ditions be met. Failures of both crops may be expected occasionally. A single failure of new crop is net sufficient to warrant its being discarded when 1t has, as many good qualities as has alfalfa Henry l..

PINE BLISTER RUST.

The agricultural experiment station at New Haven recently issued an interest ing bulletin describing the efforts being made in Connecticut to stamp out the swhite pine blister rust Dr, E, H. Jen- kins, director of the station, says:
 HThe blister rust is established in some sections of Connecticut, principally iv Litchfield county. So far the aetua! damage from the disease has not been large but there is always danger of it's spreading and causing great destruction. Although. the effect of the blister rust on white pine is somewhat similar to that of the bark disease on chestnut, it is, to- tally unlike the chestnut blight in that it can be easily controlled. Without cur rant or goeseberry bushes of some sort in the immediate vicinity of white pine trees, there is slight possibility of these becoming infested with blister rust. If you wish to protect your white pines, you should destroy all currant and gooseber- ry bushes (wiid or eultivatedl within 200 to S9o yards of them

EVIDENCE OF CRooKEDNEss
 IN PARIS HORSE RAoHs

Paris, July s.-So many queer looking races, (despied outsiders defeating il- 1 lustrious horses) have been uncovered at ] the metropolitan tracks since the open ; ing of the raciag season that Baron Maurice de Rethsehild himself one ef deputy for Pau has brought the matter Co 1 the largest owners in France as well as the attentien-of the French chamber. l Baron de Rothschild has asked the chamber to pass a law for. the suppres- sion of book making in Paris and largest cities in France, the books to be replaced l by Pari-mutuel booths in the cities. The French government receives ten per cent. on all moneys taken in at the pari-mutual booths at the various tracks. AS the amounts bet atthe different tracks vary from 5000 900 to s1e.060,008 francs daily the French government derives from the racing industry a revenue of between 100, 900 and 100000 francs per day. Baron de Rethschild said in the French chamber that more neAey was bet with the books operating in Paris each day that at the tracks; estimating that 10, 6,000,0e0 francs per day were wageFed in the city alone. This is a net loss Of 1, 1,000, 900 francs day for the government

 It has been alleged that the booknak- CTS gather in all the city money in the

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
AVOID swARMING.

It is very important Co keep the col. onies of bees from dividing at this tirle of year. The two parts of colony which swarns will not produce as much honey as if they had remained one colony Ire reason for this is that the. swarm mt dray cue new set of combs, and produce a new batch of brood before 1t can store surplus honey This will take two weeks or more, depending upon the weather.
 The old colony from which the swarFn issued will not produce any surplus for at least two weeks after the swarming time since it has lost most of its field bees and must also have a queen emerge and become fertiliged. It will take week or ten days for enough of the older bees to become field workers for them to bring in any quantity of honey. By this time the new queen will have num- Der of larvae to be fed so that this col eny can get to storing surplus. You will see, then. that swarm takes out at least two weeks at the best part of the the honey flow. says L. B. Crandall,
 5eekeepiRg Specialist for the Exten- sion Service of Connecticut Agricul-
 tural College at Storrs, Conn.
 One of the best control methods to
 use on such a colony is to fe-dueeh

 it has made preparations for swarrning Another method which works out very we'll is the Deinasee method This hriefly is to place all the brood and eggs ta one live body and all the combs of honey and empty combs in another, fill ing up. any empty space with frames of 'oundation, and have the queen in the lody containing the combs of honey and 'mpty combs. Put this last body in
 he old location, and place a queen ex- l lu6er en it. then put on two supers and raiiV the body containing the brood on i top of all.

ELECTRIC SCIENCE
BORN 100 YEARS AGO

The real birth OF modern electrical
science took place on September Is,
100 years ago. This event was some
what extensively celebrated last week
in many of the great laboratories OF
the electrical industry. II was on
this date that Andre Marie Ampere,
a French professor, presented his his
toric paper before the Academy or
Sciences in Paris. which showed that
electricity and magnetism were den
nitely related one to another. This
discovery had only been made a week
prior by Aersted, a professor in a
Copenhagen university.
Prior to this time all the world
knew of the science which, in a
measure today. rules the worlds bust
ness, were few discreet and unre-
lated fragments ~ knowledge CON
corning voltaic electricity and the
magnetism OF lodestones. Many had
dreamed of their relationship. but il
was Oersted who unlocked the gates
to what is the foundation OF electric
development today. IT was Ampers
who placed this knowledge before
the world.
The practical applications or these
discoveries have been many. and they
have been Of tremendous Importance.
In electrical Instruments, In cleo
trical communications, in deriving
mechanical from electrical energy
all these were in principle placed in
the hands of mankind by the two
professors whose search for the ABB
stract truths of nature brought them
to one OF the worlds greatest dis
coverics.

AMERICA LEADS WORLD
IN ELECTRIC SCIENCE
All Nations Accord u. s. Honor as
First NatioS on Practical
ADDiiances

Few people realize that the electric
heating appliance industry OF the
United States pre-eminently leads the
world. The progressive women Of the
world are inclined to look upon the
American made electrical appliances
in the same way as they regard hats
and gowns OF French creation. Amer
lean electrical goods are the vogue
and set the standard In all civilized
countries.
The rapid international develop
ment Of this industry and the speed at
which IL has attained its world prom
inence Is particularly indicative OF
the Initiative OF the American Jeople.
The labor-saving advantages, The
convenience and utility OF American
made electrical appliances, such as
electric washers, electric cleaners
sew motors, the big ironers have APP
pealed very strongly TO the American
woman and in the stress OF present
day servant shortage, they have been
quick TO utilize these advantages In
homes where they are now obliged TO
get along with one servant instead OF
several, the electrical appliances have
proved OF untold value.
Thus the encouragement which
home keepers have given TO manufac-
turers has made II possible to place
American electrical home appliances
in the commanding position which
they occupy throughout the world
today.

CONGRESS TO TAKE
Up RECLAMATION
THREE IRRIGATION DEVELOP.
MENT MEASURES TO BE
BROUGHT BEFORE SESSION.
There 10 No Certainty That Any Of the
Plans Will Receive Approval,
There Being Objections to Meas
ures in Some Quarters.

Washington.-Atl last three concrete
plans for irrigation development in
the west, two of them soldier settle
ment plans. will be brought before
congress at the approaching session,
all of them plans which have been
studied by committees and which have
reached stages where they may be
taken up for consideration il there is
sufficient sentiment and support be-
hind them.
The first is the soldier bonus bill,
which passed the house last session,
and is now in the finance committee
of the senate. One section of this bill
provides for the reclamation of arid
lands, the draining Of swamp lands
and the recovery of cutover lands to
provide homes for soldiers.
The second is the Borah bill, which
is virtually the soldier land settlement
feature of the bonus bill, with an i'm
portant addition to the effect that the
government shall not buy private lands
for reclamation.
The third Is the SmOOt bill, ostens-
IDLY to aid and encourage irrigation
development with private capital, but
putting the federal government back of
such development in way to insure
its success. The SmoOt bill, in its pres
ent form, is not soldier land bill.
To each Of the three plans there is
substantial objection in some quarters
and advocates of soldier relief and OF
reclamation extension are not agreed
among themselves as to which of the
plans, If any of them, shall be pushed
to ultimate passage. Indeed, there Is
no certainty that any of the plans will
be passed during the short session
But the agitation will be renewed and
each of the three bills will be brough,
to the front for discussion, If not fol
action.
Both the bonus bill and the Boraf
bill contemplate the appropriation b!
