freedom from tuberculosis. The in
spectors tested 4,741 head and out of
this number only thirty-seven head
were reacters. This is little less
than l per cent. There were 1876
herds tested. Chippewa county COM
pleted the area test with less than l
per cent of reacters. Eau Claire coun-
ty put the proposition of area test
ing for tuberculosis across in a short
time, as the county board voted to
have the area test and each member
signed the petition and got signers in
his township. This resulted in get
ting over 1900 signers when only 14OO
were needed to obtain the area test.
Washbum county is tested. Wood,
Marathon, Polk and st. Croix coun-
ties have their petitions nearly signed
for area work. Pierce county will
soon be the only county in the north
western part of the state that will
not have had the area test work done.
Farmers who are planning to sow
alfalfa the coming spring should have
their soil tested for acidity and find
out if the soil needs limestone. There
is no use trying to raise alfalfa unless
the soil is free from acidity. The on
ly way to neutralize this acid condi-
ton is by the application of some
form of lime We hope to have one
crusher going this winter somewhere
in the county, but this will not any
where supply the demand. 1t will
have to be shipped in to some places.
Fall is a good time to ship in lime
stone as the roads are better for haul
ing and the lime can be applied on
plowed ground in fall with better re-
suits than when applied in spring.
The acidity test can be made at this
office without any charge. One or two
samples of soil from the field to be
tested can be sent or brought to this
office. One-half cup full constitutes a
SIMPLE. This should be taken about
two inches below the surface of the
soil.
Late melting hens are the best lay
ers. Repeated tests show that heavy
producing hens mott late and rapidly.
Choose hens that mott in October and
November. This is probably the best
way to select good layers. Early mol
ting hens are usually loafers. If the
yellow skin variety is kept, one can
easily pick hen that has laid consid-
cradle as the feet and beak become
pale and white in color after the her
has laid number of eggs. Look

is three tons per acre in two cuttings
though it often goes 2 IL tons in one
cutting. At $40 per ton and three
tons per acre, in year the income
per acre would be $50. Suppose it
cost $40 per acre for limestone the
first year, there would still be gross
profit of $50 per acre. Now there are
many farmers raising and selling oats
at 35c per bushel. Their yield will
not average over As blu. per acre.
Many fields will not go over 30. But
as bu, per acre would give gross in
come of $16.65. The cost of putting
up the three tons of alfalfa will be
about the same as harvesting and
handling the oat crop. This leaves a
balance of about $35 per acre in favor
of growing alfalfa for cash crop
rather than oats.
And we know that it can be done,
for there have been enough trials con-

speaking, our soil is well adapted to
alfalfa. Get your soil tested for acid
ity and then try an acre of alfalfa
next year, giving the crop right con-
ditions. In many cases it will not be
necessary to use limestone. Sor.e of
our best stands are produced on soil
that is naturally sweet. But if lime
is needed, don't try alfalfa without
first applying the amount indicated by
the Truog Acidity test. Further,
don't try more than few acres unless
you have already grown the crop sue
cessfully.

County Agent Notes
(Bv H. G.. Seyforth)

| have found out recently that there
is plenty of picric acid left on hand
and if you intend to do any stump
blowing or stone breaking this fall or
early spring, / advise you to get your
order in as soon as possible so that
YOU can get the material in short
time. The price is still 11.2 cents per
pound plus the local freight from
some nearby county that has shipped
in carload. One party is allowed
to get 500 pounds. 1t can only be got
ten in 100 pound cases. Each case
contains approximately 275 to 300
cartridges, each cartridge being equal
in explosive power to a cartridge OF
dynamite usually weighing one-half
pound For this reason Plcric acid
will go further than dynamite. 1t is
a faster explosive than low grade dy-
Mantle. The picric acid is a cartridge
and made ready for use in much the
same manner as ordinary dynamite.
1t requires no special preparation. 1t
is fired with an ordinary blasting
cap III eAdCIly Tic ociiiS ""y 60 ~
Mantle. 1t is slightly less sensitive
than dynamite and will give greater
efficiency if a number 8 cap is used.
The picric acid does not freeze. 1t
does not give headaches when used
in open air for stump and rock blast
ing. 1t can be fired by either the
electric cap or the ordinary blasting
cap used with fuse as both these det-
orators act the same on the material.
1t is not dangerous to use the handle
of a cap crimper to punch holes for
the cap in the cartridge. Picric acid
can be used in wet places the same
as dynamite and will stand at least
as much moisture as ordinary dyna-
mites do.

WHICH FOR PROFIT?

(Released for last week.
In these times of scarce money, low
prices and bumper crops, many farm
ers are wondering what crops to raise
to furnish the cash with which to meet
their payments and make their pur-
chases. One of the best cash crops
that could be grown in ST. Croix coun-
ty is alfalfa. 1t can give net re-
turn of $40 to $50 yer acre. But the
average farmer will say that it costs
more to start alfalfa than it is worth.
This is certainly not so, for there has
never been time within the last ten
years when good alfalfa hay was not
worth around $40 ton at st. Paul.

TIM ELY ADVICE

Once again we desire to call the at tention of our people to the necessity for team work, If we are every to en- erge from the period of a dolescence and become a full fledged city. We have everything necessary for small city but the spirit, and without that while the town will flourish in a way it will never get above the milk-fed stage.
 If you believe in Seward, talk Sew ard, work for Seward and above all spend your money in Seward. A prom inent visitor from the states who has a wide reputation for making towns grow, says we lack team work, that a cursory glance over business condi- tions shows that our citizens are fudg- ing on each other. We are helping to build-up other towns with our money and attempting to make living here
 That this condition is true is appar- ent to anyone who has lived here for a time. A large part of the business men are trying to build up Seward by buying everything possible at home while others are as rapidly nullifying their efforts by getting nothing in Sew ard, but their salaries and the air they breathe. Some of our worst offenders are the greatest boosters in talk but not in deeds. Another practice which Is bound to rebound to our disadvan- tage is charging visitors more for a thing than we do home folks. Five or ten cents appears an easy graft to some. but we again assert that the av- craze man, who is beaten out of nickle in this way remembers it long, CT than he would a blow or any other form of insult It is up to our people to make or mar our fortunes. They can not be made by sharp practices.

MORE WOMEN AS m~ NiCipEA.
 OFFICERS

Seward is very proud and rightfully so. of the good record that is being made by her women municipal officials The people over there point to the fact that Seward is the only incorporated town in Alaska that can boast of a woman councilman, as well as a wo- man clerk and magistrate. But we inn agine that next spring the various el- ections turnout the Territory will re suit in the selection of many women for different municipal positions In most instances they would certainly be an improvement on the men who so often serve in a careless and indiffeT- ent manner. As an exchange truthful!y says. Tt has been demonstrated time and again in outside cities that the el- ection of women to public office re- suited in a cleaning up of political cess pools and abolition of corruption of all kinds The modern woman has fitted herself to keep pace with the men; in few years they will have passed him.

ASTOUNDING SETTINGS FEATURE Qf "THE SEEK

One of the most impressive features of "The Sheik," George Mel ,ord's lat est production for Paramount, whicl comes to the Liberty Theatre tonight are the many magnificent settings in which the various scenes are enacted These include:
 A remarkable conception of public section of the ancient City of Carthage under Roman rule; birdseye shot of the City of Biskra, the Monte Carlo ot the Algerian Sahara, taken from min |aret with an Arab praying in the fore ground; fifteen actual shots about the city of Biskra, especially made for the picture by representative from Para mounts London studio; a picturesque African oasis, especially constructed on a desert site near Hollywood; a complete Arabian village-the strong hold of the bandit chieftain, Omair and beautiful exotic interiors, such as the interior of the Shieks tent, and the desert palace of Omair.
 In the Carthage episode, which is a vision in the picture, a very unusual effect is presented. Agnes Ayres, play ing the principal feminine role, is shown as the naughty queen who rules the city under Roman dominion. When tho coaDa first ODonS if shows a nrOll6 English girl, later to be captured by the Sheik, encamped at night among the ruins of Roman splendor in the ancient city. There are broken pillars and crumbling ruins.
 Then the girl becomes Carthagin- ian queen, the architecture is restored and scenes of splendor, people with the royal court, flower girls, harp girls slaves, centurions and Roman soldiers follow. This vision establishes the naughty and dominant character of the girl, who insists upon taking a journey into the desert despite her brothers objections.
 The role of the Sheik is played by Rudolph Valentino, the popular Julio" of "The Four Horsemen of the Appeal ypse." The cast further includes Luc- fen Littlefield, Adolphe Menjou, George Wagner, Ruth Miller, Walter Long and F. R. Butler.

AT the council meeting Monday 1t was proposed to investigate the propo- sition of placing Tarvia, a permanent road-building compound, upon the streets and roads surrounding Seward This city has the incest streets in AL aska, being we'll kept and solid, and with the addition of Tarvia to the sur face, our town would indeed be noted for its beautiful appearance. The cost of this material is slight and it knits the roadbed together in manner mak- ing 1t practically indestructible. The council is on the qui vive to do every thing to make Seward attractive and beautiful, and in no other way could so much goode be done, as to have per, manent streets.
