Inoculates His Alfalfa

H. A. Bowden of the Damascds
section bought ten pounds of Grimm
alfalfa seed last week, mixed them
with the same quantity of ordinary
seed, and then bathed the mixture
in bottleful of an inoculation liquid

he sowed the seed over an acre of his
land day before yesterday. The pur-

the plants to absorb nitrogen from

There was a time not so long

wear solemn clothes. Happily
that day has passed. These
two important professions are
not damaged in popular esteem,
but, it seems to me, rather gain
goodwill from the circumstance
that their representatives are
less gloomily clad than they
used to be. [ am sure that my

and brought an added beauty to thai

Jenny assembled the mountain as
lightly as a butterfly. She moder'
ated her pace to the slower gait OF
the elder and presently they both
stopped before little grey chapel
perched beside the hill path.
Mr.. Albert Redmaynes silkworms
in the great airy shed behind his
villa, had nearly all spun their CO.
coons now for it was June again
and the annual crop of mulberry
leaves in the valleys beneath were
well-nigh exhausted.
Therefore Assunta Marzelli the old
bibliophile's housekeeper, made holi-
day with his niece, now upon a visit
to him, and together the women
climbed, where food might be pro-
cured for the last tardy caterpillars
to change their state.
And then, where two tall expresses
stood upon either side, Jenny and
Assunta stayed a while.
The lake below was now reduced to
a cup or liquid jade over which shot
etreamers of light into the mountain
shade at it's brink; but there were
vessels floating on the waters that
held the watchers eyes.
They looked like twin, toy torpedo
boats-mere streaks of red and black
upon the water. with Italy's flag at
the taffrail. But the little ships
were no toys and Assunta hated them,
for the strange craft told of the cease
less battle waged by authority against
the mountain smugglers and reminded
the widow of her own lawless hus-
bands death ten years before.
The women climbed presently to

sparkled with tink flowers and spread

them; but first they ate the eggs and

I'VE shall see as to that. Prepare

In half an hour Jenny returned
with Mr.. Redmayne's tea.

side, pretty one" he began, for my
amazing friend, Peter Cams, who

hardly be peaceful now and confess
that the presence of Doria would go
some way to compose my nerves. He
is powerful, cheerful, and full of re-
source. He is also brave.

apparently felt no desire to see him

A boatman quickly rowed them to |

soon reached the dwelling of Albert's !
friend, who welcomed them with an |
equal measure of surprise and delight. |
At 9 o'clock next morning Mr.. |
Redmayne and Jenny were rowed |
home again, only to hear that no in
truder had broken upon the nightly |
peace of Villa Pianezzo. Nor did the
day bring any news. Once more
they repaired to Bellagio before dark,
and for three days lived thus. Then
there came a telegram from turin to
say that Doria was returning immedl-
ately to Como and might soon be ex-
pected via Milan; while on the morn

The other managed to understand
and declared that she felt no fear.
They parted and Jenny fastened,
risked her neck sometimes and sped
forward with the energy of youth and
on the wings of fear.
Jenny saw and heard no more of
the being who had thus so unex-
pectedly returned into her life. Her
thoughts were wholly with Albert
Redmayne. He was at Bellagio when
she reached home, and his man
servant, Assuntas brother Ernesto
explained that Mr. Redmayne had
crossed after luncheon to visit his
dearest friend, the book lover, Vir-
gilio Poggi
Jenny waited impatiently and she
was at the landing stage when Albert
returned. He smiled to see her and
took off his great SLOUGH hat.
He looked at Jenny's frightened
eyes and felt her hand upon his
sleeve. "Why, what is wrong? You
are alarmed. No i'll news of Giu-
seppe?"

Jenny told him that she had seen

Jenny. "Assunta says that cried

She sent no direction that might
enable him to acknowledge her gift;
but there was postal stamp upon
the covering and Brendon noted that
the box came from Italy--from Ven

mentioned in connection with the
ruined castle and vanished splendors
of his race.

During the next thirty years Ger

revolutions especially in the South

THIRTY YEARS OF
TROUBLE AHEAD FOR
WORLD, SAYS SEER
EWEDISH PROPHET PREDICT.
ED WORLD WAR AND DE-
FEAT OF KAISER: THE U.
S. WILL HAVE FIVE WARS

BERLIN, March 29--Anto Johan-
son, the little old Swedish farmer who
predicted the world war, now declares
the United States will, during the
next thirty years, wage five great
wars.
One of these will result from COM
plications in Canada and the other
four will be civil wars.
Johanson's predictions t. date have
been accurate. He isn't the average
kind of professional seer. His new
prophesies have, therefore, aroused
the greatest interest.
His predictions cover the happen
ings throughout the world for the
Aext 30 years. They tell of great in
Sensational wars, unprecedented pla-
CUES, revolutions and
Among the things Johanson pre-
iicted in 1913 were:
Belgium would be "the nail in Ger
Hany's coffin"
Great plaques, including Spanish
ieffuenza."
The world war and the defeat Of
0e German forces.
New disorders in Ireland. He isn't
given much credit for this prediction,
Aowever.)
And now Johanson predicts:
Five wars in America.
A great English Indian war, about
1925, beginning with uprisings in
Northern India. The decision will be
reached in Delhi and Calcutta, after
$4,000 900 have lost their lives. The
Indians will literally drive the En-
gish into the sea, after which India
will tear herself from Britian's grasp
