Soils Not Suitable For Alfalfa,
Any field likely to be under water
or the soil saturated with water at
any time for more than thirty-six
hours at a time is quite ynsuitable
for alfalfa. Any field with a hard
pan subsoil within two feet of the
surface will prove-unsatisfactory for
alfalfa.—Weekly Witness.

: Warts on Horses, ‘
To cure warts on horses rub the
wart well with soft soap, and fn a
few days a scab will appear. Pick
the scab off when it gets loose and
rub again with soft soap, repeating
the operation until the wart is gone,
It will not leave a scar and will not
return.—Weekly Witness.
Raise Corn For Silage,
All dairymen recognize the valuei
of corn ensilage as a cheap food for
milk production. It is but seldom!
on looking over the roughage of any
large dairy barn, that corn stover ls’
seen. The silo has taken the place|
of the corn stalk loft. . |
An experiment conducted recently
at the Pennsylvania experiment sta-l
tion showed that in meat production
steers fed corn silage as part of thelrl
ration made better gains than those
fed corn stover. The stover fed
steers ate more grain than those fed
silage, but the cost of the feed, how
ever, was less, to the credit of a sto
ver ration, But whether corn is in
a silo or on the loft it is a mighty
good food, when rightly used, and
none too much is raised by New Eng
land farmers.—F. P. H,, in the

Setting and Hatching,
When the turkey hen gets broody,
bring her to the house and confine
her in a pen or house where noth
ing can bother her, dusting her with
insect powder when get and again
when taken off with the little tur
keys. I make my insect powder
from ashes, sulphur, snuff and cam
phor balls, j ;
. When the hen hatches do not dis
turb her, ‘except: to!mke the empty
shells from the nestiso they will not
get stuck on the eggs that have not
hatched. Whén she is through hatch
ing, let the little ones stay in the
place she hatched them wuntil they
are several days old. They will be

Handling Hard Land, :
There might be several classes of
land which we could find in this sec
tion. The first would be land which
is adaptable to hoed crops; which
is free enough from stones or sur
plus moisture o that it can be used
in a regular rotation of three or four
years, land suitable for growing po
tatoes or corn, Then there is a lot
of New England land that is too
damp and has too many stones just
below the surface to allow it to he
plowed conveniently. That land we
must handie in a somewhat different
way. Probably as good a method
of handling this land as any is one
that I have seen followed in New
York, topdressing with a light coat
of barnyard manure, about eight or
ten spreader loads per acre, every
Year, and at the same time using a
small quantity of clover seed and
working it in with a light harrow
ing of sowae kind, efther with a spec
fal brush harrow or the ordinary
smoothing harrow. I have seen this
done in several instances with
marked success. There is another
kind of land which is too rough to
bLe handled in either of these ways,
or perhaps too steep, but land which
is admirably suited to the growing
of apples.—W. B. Dodge, U. 8. De
partment of Agriculture,
Farm Highway Fences,
In the early settlement of the
American colonies the gettlers nead
ed every foot of their cleared land
to raise corn, potatoes and pump
kins, and could not possibly spare
any of their small clearings for pas
turage. Consequently everybody's
cattle and horses (and frequently
hogs) were pastured in the woonds
and along the roadside, and of courss
good, high, strong fences bécame an
absolute necessity gfor the protection
of the crops (which nobody disputed
and the law imperatively required),
of no damages could be collected for
injury to crops by a neighbor's cattle.
The woods and roadsides were con
sidered as public commons upon
which everybody's farm stock had a
right to run. In the colony of Mas
sachusetts there was one exception—
ungelded horses ‘‘unless of comely
proportions and of good size, not less
than fourteen hands higl,” were not |
alowed to run in the commons or
woods. |
The necessity which once existed,
for pasturing the woods and road
sides has long since passed in the
~old, settled States, but the fence laws
enacted under 30 old eohe;mofil‘
“have been allowed to remain -on the
statute books of most of them to this
‘day because so many voters without
farms wanted to keep their cows ia
thie streets and not hire pasturage,
and the lawmakers dared not touch
the old laws for fear of loging votes.
With" only the scanty pickings of
the street cattle soon get desperate
with hunger and become breachy.
Not many years ago seven cows were
pastured in our street; sometimes the
whole seven could be seen together.
A farm gate could not be left open
when drawing in hay and grain, or
five or sic of the neighbors’ cows
would rush in. A neighbor’s breachy
cow broke into our garden in the
daytime. Another man’s*cow got in
to the dooryard in the night, the gate
being accidentally - left open, At
length our lawmakers at Harrisburg
ventured to let the people of the
State vote on the question of fence
or no fence, and a large majority
was for no fence. As the law stands
now, everybody must take care of his
own stock. They are not required
to fence other people’s cattle out,
but only find it necessary to fence
their pasture fields to keep their own
cattle in, and no stock is allowed in
the public highways, except when
being driven to market or from
place to place. It appears to
be a just and beneficial law,
producing excellent results, and
it should have been enacted long
ago. The wages of lahor are so high
that men without land can afford to
buy miik or hire pasturage for a cow.
I know several laborers who have
bought houses and lots and paid for
them from their earnings.
The saving in expense to the peo
ple of the State in having fewer
fences to build and keep in repair is
immense, and the saving in annoy
ance and vexation has been still
greater.—J, W. Ingham, Sugar Run,
Pa.
Experiments With Stable Manure,
Ateathe Maryland agricultural sta
tion two sets of experiments with
stable manure—one covering three
years and the other seven years—
have been conducted,
The results as a rule favored the
use of fresh manure applied directly
from the stable as against rotted ma
nure. The best results were ob
tained by applying the manure ag
long in advance of the time the
crop was to use it as possible. As
between applying fresh and rotted
manure before and after plowing,
the results favored applying fresh
manure as a top-dressing after plow
ing. In a comparison of plowing
under manure in the fall and spring,
the differences were slight but uni
formly in favor of allowing the ma
nure to remain on the land during
the winter and plowing it down in
the spring. Subsoiling in addition
to deep plowing did not show suffi
cient advantage to warrant the ex.
tra expense involved. *‘The use of
kainit with the manure seemed to
exert a beneficial influence every
year, and it was more marked in
dry than wet seasons.” The growth
of crimson clover was better on soils
receiving fresh manure than on those
treated with rotted manure.

Too heavy loads make balky
horses.
With all stock discomfort always
costs in extra feed.
Milking should always be done in
a clean, airy place, free from all bad
odors.
Plowing for wheat should begin
just as soon as possible after the
harvest work is finished up.
Dairy stock can not be improved
it a promiscuous trying of all breeds
is permitted to go on.
Cream should have a uniform con
sistency as well as being of uniform
ripeness before churning.
The cow, to do her best and con
tinue it for the longest period, must
have at least one-fifth her food of
some kind of nitrogen,
tl takes longer and costs more to
make up a pound of loss than it doed
to add five pounds of gain under fa
vorable conditions.
~ln feeding fattening hogs, the food
should always be given in a clean,
whelesome condjtion and never al
lowed to become sour.
The walk is the foundation of all
the other gaits, and without begins
ning at the foundation all future de
velopments will be' unsatisfactory.
As soon as the tops of the onions
'are dead they should be pulled,
thrown in rows, allowed to cure a

Good hickory ashes are said to be
excellent for expelling worms from
the bowels of young horses. Give
a couple of tablespoonfuls twice a
week in their feed.
The great secret in making under
draining a permanent improvment is
in securing uniform form in laying
the tile, and maintaining a good out
let. As a rule, the safest plan is to
look the ground over carefully and
then plan out the ditches tq the best
advantage.

ROME IS JOYFUL; . .
ONCE MORE A PORT, =
Sees Vision of Restored Suprem
‘ @cy as Chief Maritime Centre
; of the Globe, r
Rome is mad with joy. Romans
embrace one another in the street
with congratulations and applause.
For the Romans see at no distant
date the Eternal City reinstated in
her place as chief port of the world,
and receiving the riches and mer
chandise of all climes,
The Granatiere (the Grenadier)
has' successfully navigated the wind
ing Tiber and has been welcomed as
the forerunner of a new epoch,
Thousands and thousands of I;g
--mans thronged the banks of the Ti
ber and the surface of the river was
alive with boats to watch the arrival
of Their Majesties the King and
Queen, who were to present the
Granatiere with a banner of honor.
Princess Letitia and the Princes:of
the Blood Royal were present, the
cannon thundered and the flag flut
tered mast high on the torpedo boat.
And indeed the captain of the bpat
deserved high praise, for the wind
ings and shallows of the river are
anything but easy to navigate, A
dozen times bow and stern almost
touched the banks as some sharp
tern was taken. Now the boat lies
at Ripa Grande, the ancient Roman
wharf, waiting for the rain to fall
and give the Tiber sufficient water to
enable it to return to the sea. i
A daily service of boats has now
been started from Rome to Sardnia
direct, and the introduction of ecattle
from Sardinia, with the other pro
ducts of the island, will be greatly
facilitated, !
But the great scheme of the Ro
mans is once more to make Ostia, a
dozen miles southwest, the port for
first-rate seagoing vessels, so that
the great ocean steamships coming
from America, England or the Anti
podes will no longer be obliged to en
ter the ports of Genoa, Livonia or
Naples, but will unship their cargoes
and disembark their pauengetqu"at
Ostia, the ancient port, from which a
Journey of twenty minutes by n’i’! or
automobile will carry them to Rome.
A rallway line will be finished by
1911, and the milllons of visitors
from foreign shores who come to
Rome in that year of festivities will,
instead of having to undergo a
tedious journey of six, seven or
elght hours, find themselves at Rome
in twenty minutes. e
It is not impossible—nay, it is
more than probable—that in three
years Rome will outdistance all her
sister cities of Italy and take ;%rstf’
rank among the ports of the world.
The Romans are arousing from
their long lethargy. Building is to
be carried on with increased vigor,
and f‘ivhen!&mmffifbt":R&!gw' sgghor

Reconcile Religion Too Late,
“The late Bishop Fowler,” said a
Buffalo Methodist, ‘“‘was a broad
minded man, Bigotry he abhorred.
Creed, he claimed, should never
hedge one good Christian from an
other. Sincere creeds, no matter how
diverse, should, on the contrary, bind
Christians together.
‘“‘Bishop Fowler used to tell about
a young Detroit couple, John Smith
and Hannah Jones. e
“John Smith was a Presbyterian.
Hannah Jones was a Baptist. 'They
hesitated about marrying, because
they feared that in later life, when
the little ones came, religious dis
putes might arise. Thus the years
passed. Neither would renounece his
church. John Smith grew bald and
Hannah Jones developed lines about
her mouth and eyes. It was & com
plete deadlock, the world said.
“Then John was sent abroad for
a year by his firm to buy fancy
goods. He and Hannah correspond
ed regularly. Toward the year's end,
by a remarkable coincidence, each re
ceived from the other a letter, the
two letters crossing in the mails.
They said: ol
" ‘Friend John—The obstacles that
stood in the way of our marriage
have at last been removed. This
day I was received in full member
ship in the Presbyterian Church.
Hannah.’
" ‘Dearest Hannah—We have no
longer any ground for dell{‘rF‘ our
union. I united myself this day with

Dr. Wiley's Chicken Pie.
It is told that Dr. Wiley, the Gov

gave a bowing waiter this order:
“Bring me a chicken pie—one of
those little individual pies.”
A few minutes later it was set be

smile of anticipation he ?&. the
crust to find, just beneath, a three
inch feather, ot
“Take this away!” he demanded.
“What does it mean, anyway? Tell

resource, for he immediately leaned
over and said in a confidential voice:

OPEN DEALING IN PAINT.
Buying paint used to be like the
proverbial buying of a *pig in a
poke.” Mixtures in which chalk,
ground rock, etc., predominated were |
marked and sold as “Pure White
Lead,” the deception not being ap
parent until the paint and the paint
ing were paid for. This deception is
still practiced, but we have learned
to expose it easily.
National Lead Company, the larg
est makers of genuine Pure White
Lead, realizing the injustice that was
being done to both property owners
and honest paint manufacturers set
about to make paint buying sate.
They first adopted a trade mark, the
now famous ‘‘Dutch-Boy Painter,”
and put this trade mark. as a guar
anty of purity, on every package of |
their White Lead. They then set |
about familiarizing the public with
the glow-pipe test by which the puris
ty and genuineness of White Lead
may be determined, and furnished a
blow-pipe free to every one who
would write them for it. This ac
tion was in itself a guaranty of the
purity of National Lead Company’s
White Lead.
As the result of this open dealing
the paint buyer to-day has only him
self to blame if he is defrauded. For

: Oldest of Diseases.
Bubonic plague i{s one of the oldest
diseases known to man. Xntire na
tlons have been uwept from the face
of the earth by this dread enamy,
und whole stretches of fertile coun
ity have been abandoned Lecause of
a pestilence therein with which the
inhabitants did not know how to cope.
There bave been times in the world’s
history when this disease ravaged the
entire civilized. globe, as when, in
1334 A. D, it swept from China to
Norway, leaving in its wake more
than twenty-five million victims. Read
ers of Daniel Defce will recall his
vivid description of the awful scenes
in London when England was ravaged
by the Black Death. Creighton in
his history tells of the deaths of 70.-
000 people in London in the summer
of 1665. Benvenuto Cellini suffered
from the plague, and his accurate de
scription of his experience withe the
disease from its earliest symptoms un
til his .complete recovery is not the
least interesting of the writings of
that remarkable man,
Even in our own times the plague
has claimed its toll of myriads of
lives. Since 1895 bubonic plague has
carried off four hundred thousand peo
ple annually in India alone. It is a
curious fact that the connection be
tween the plague and the rat has been
known from the dawn of history. In
some of the most ancient Egyptian
hieroglyphics we find the rat display
ed as the symbo: of the plague, It
was not, however, until within re
cent years that science identifled the
plague germ, a short cocco bacillus
of oval rod shape. The bacillus was
discovered by Kitasato and Yersin
during the Hong-kong outbreak of
18%4.—Harper's Weekly. i

Oid Schoolmates of Theirs. ~
A conductor sent a new brakeman
to put some tramps off the train; they
were riding in a box car. The brake
man dropped into the car and said,
“Where are you fellows going?” “To
Atchison.” “Well, you can’'t go to
Atchison on this train; so get off.”
“You get,” same the reply, and as the
new brakeman was looking into. the
business end of a gun he tock the ad
vice given him and “got.”” He went
back to the caboose, and the conductor
asked him if he had put the fellows
off. “No,” he answered, “I did not
have the heart to put them off. They
want to go to Atchison, and, besides,
they are old schoolmates of mine.”
The conductor used some very strong
language, and then sfid he would put
them off himself.. He went over to
the car and met with the same ex
perience as the brakeman. When he
got back to the eaboose the brakeman
sald, “Well, did you put them off?”
“Naw, they're schoolmates of mine,

in a most miserable condition. For
over two years I suffered from ner
vousness, weak heart, shortness of
breath, could not sleep, etec.
“My appetite was ravenous but 1
felt starved all the time. I had
plenty of food but it did not nourisa
me because of intestinal indigestion.
Medical treatment did not seem to
help, I got discouraged, stopped medi
cine and did not care much whether
I lived or died.
“One day a friend asked me why I
didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking
coffee and use Postum. I[l had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friends I began to use both and soon
became very fond of them.
“It wasn’t long before I got some
strength, felt a decided change in my
gsystem, hope sprang up in my heart
and slowly but surely 1 got better. I
could sleep very well, the constant
craving for food ceased and I have
better health now than before the at
tack of peritonitis.
“My husband and I are still using
Grape-Nuts and Postum.” “There's
& Reason.”
