Grower Should Know Variety.
Before buying alfalfa seed the pur-
chaser should inform himself fully re-
garding the variety best suited for his
section and the quality of the seed
with regard to both termination and
purity. In choosing a variety or
strain it is well to bear in mind that
the quick-growing alfalfas, because of
their tendency to produce heavier
yields, should be used as far north
as they will survive the winters. In
the northern sections the variegated
alfalfas, including the Grimm, the
Baltic, and the Canadian varieties, have
proved most successful in withstand
ing winter killing. In sections having
very mild winters, Peruvian alfalfa
has proved more profitable than long
er strains, owing to its ability to pro-
duce considerably heavier yields. Usu-
ally it can be grown to advantage only
in sections. where minimum tempera-
ture is not lower than 10 degrees Fab
renheit, and where ordinary alfalfa
will succeed. Throughout Maryland
and Virginia all the common strains
of alfalfa which have been developed
in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and un-
der similar conditions, give the most
satisfactory results.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Rescue.

Out Of the darkness little light be-
gan to glow. 1t shone and sparkled,
and suddenly raced skyward, disclos-
ing the outlines of the schooner
stranded upon the edge of the ice field.
Baptiste drove his vessel straight
toward it, running upon the gale. The
little group upon the deck watched in
terror as the flames spread, until it
could be seen that they enwrapped the
entire fore part of Dupont's schooner.
Dupont, in his madness, evading
Brousseau, had set fire to the lumber
with the aid of the petroleum kegs
which he carried in the hold. And
Brousseau, at the wheel. was striving
desperately to run the burning vessel
back into open water and cast her
upon the ice-free shore of the south
passage, beyond the point. In his
fear he had forgotten Madeleine and
Hilary.

was the second schooner. At the same
time voices hailed them. They had
been seen.
Brousseau. upon the poop, yelled in
answer. And he began to run to and
fro in his excitement, possessed only
by the fear of death by fire.
The flames spread. The cabin was
now involved, and a great column of
smoke was shooting skyward, carrying
with a fiery spark cloud.
Dupon came out of the smoke. his
face alight with fanatic madness. He
caught him by the arm.

ship glided alongside and passed.

by the whipping wind. but not before
Dupont's words had been heard.

The Wrong Disease.

A Greencastle physician was ap
preached by a patient who was III
poor health. The patient explained
his illness, and also the fact that he
was not able to pay for the profes-
sional services at once, but would do
so within short time. He got the
medical services and was improving
nicely, in fact he had recovered suf-
fciently to go to work. The patient
met the physician, who broached tht
subject of his fees. The patient said ::
"Well, doc, don't you know l was just
talking to another doctor. and he told
me you doctored me for the wrong
thing. and l don't want to pay you
for doctoring me for the wrong dis
ease. e."-Indianapolis News.

POULTRY REQUIRE DUST BOX
AS Chickens Never Cleanse Them
selves by Washing, as Many Birds
Do, WaIIoW Is Needed.

Chickens never wash, as many birds
do, but cleanse themselves of insects
by wallowing in dust. Where board
or cement floors are used In the
chicken house, some means of busting
should be provided. A dust box three
feet by five feet, or four feet by four
feet will be found large enough in most
instances, the United States de-
partment Of agriculture suggests, for
a flock of so or 60 fowls. 1t should be
placed where it can be reached by
sunlight during as much of the day as
possible.
Fine, light, dry dust is best for the
box, but sandy loan is good. Road
dust is recommended by many, but it
is often hard to secure. Coal ashes
may be mixed with the soil if desired
to make it lighter

TEST SEED BEFORE PLANTING
Even Under the Most Favorable
Weather Conditions.

Practically the only element in crop
production that the farmer has COM
pletely under his own control is the
planting of good seed.
It is important that farm seeds be
tested before they are sown. Other
wise, full crop cannot be grown even
under the most favorable conditions.
Seed testing for practical results,
says the United States department of
agriculture, can be done much more
easily than is generally believed.
The essential preparation for MAX
ing seed tests consists of providing the
simple apparatus necessary and of be-
coming familiar with the general pur-
poses and methods of testing and the
features of importance peculiar to
tests of particular kinds of seeds. Ask
the county agent, or write the depart
ment of agriculture for a bulletin.

why DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is physicians prescription.
Swamp Root is strengthening medi-
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has SO many friends.
Be sure TO get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

RANGE ON NATIONAL FORESTS
stocEmen in Drought Stricken Dis
tricts Eagerly Sought Permits to
Save Their Cattle.

The demand for range in the ma
tional forests was greater the past
year than ever before in the history
of the forest service, which branch of
the United States department of agri-
culture has control of these tracts.
Especially in the drought-stricken re-
gions stockmen, using the unreserved
public domain or private pastures, ca
gerly sought forest permits in order
to save their stock. The value Of the
system of range regulation in use has
been so thoroughly demonstrated that
representative stockmen from all the
western states have declared emphat-
ically in favor of placing the remain
ing unreserved public lands under fed
eral control and having them managed
under a plan similar TO that in effect
on the national forests.

gravely.
"Well, I'm darned!" exclaimed Lafe.

The cure smiled whimsicalIv and
laid his hand on Lafe's shoulder.
"Ah, Mr.. Lafe," he answered. "wben

Lafe stared at him. And SLOWLY he
began to understand. Father Lucien's
ways were often inscrutable, but some
how he got there in the end.
"By jing, you're brick, father" he
cried, striking the priest between the

inside the store, came out. "Drouin

said.

by the arm. The three began to stroll
toward the wharf. When they arrived
at the wharf-head, however, instead
of proceeding toward the schooner the
cure led the way, still holding Bap

to alfalfa. The fertilizing value of
barnyard manure is so great and its
liberal application is so beneficial to
the alfalfa crop that specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture advise farmers to use all the ma
nure they have available. The plant
food realized from the fertilizer will
tone up the soil and nourish the young
seedlings so that they will get the
jump on the weed crop, and once
given this advantage the alfalfa plants
will smother out the majority of the
enemies which may develop. Save all
the manure to which you have access
and distribute it in liberal quantities
over the field to be plowed for alfalfa,
preferably before the breaking is at
tempted.
1t is largely matter of individual
preference how many times the field
is narrowed, dragged and rolled be-
fore being seeded. 1t is essential that
the subsurface of the soil be COM
pact, and then be thoroughly fined be-
fore seeding. The seed should be
sown preferably in special alfalfa
drill, as it is necessary not to bury
the seed too deep, mispractice which
often results where an ordinary grain
drill with a grass seeding attachment
is used. Where the alfalfa seeder is
not available, wheelbarrow or hand
seeder may be utilized. The rate of
seeding will vary in different locali-
ties. AS rule, from Is. to 20 pounds
of good quality seed to the acre are
deemed sufficient, although in some
localities as high as 25 pounds of seed
implement for covering the seed after
broadcasting, but If it is not available
a spiked-tooth harrow may be used.
Soils Must Be Well Drained.
All soils designed for alfalfa cul-
ture must, of necessity, be free from
surplus soil moisture, that is to say,
well drained, while they also must be
slightly alkaline. The simple litmus
paper test which can be made by any
farmer will indicate whether or not
the soil is acid. If acidity exists, it
is essential to apply lime in whatever
form is most practical ana readily
available. Burnt lime, hydrated lime
finely ground limestone, ground or
burnt oyster or clam shells and high,
! grade marls are all valuable for cor
rection of acid conditions. Very much
larger applications of ground lime
stone and mari are necessary than OF
burnt or hydrated lime. AS good re
suits are obtained from all the forms
of lime, price and availability will
usually determine which form to use
If the farmer is not familiar with the
subject it would be well for him te
apply to the director of his state ex
pertinent station and the United States
department of agriculture for litera
ture and information on special points
incubation of alfalfa fields is essen
tial. The best and most simple sys
tenn is to transfer some inoculated sol
from an old sweet clover field to the
new stand. This is best done in the
afternoon of cloudy day, the soil be
ing distributed by shovel in the amount
of about 800 to 400 pounds to the acre
This work should be done in the alb
sence of sunlight, as the sun destroys
the bacteria which induce incubation
