Alfalfa Gains Ground,
i Alfalfa is gaining in popularity in
every section tried. The Vermont
Agricultural Station gives the results
of alfalfa growing in that State. The
overage total yield per acre ranged
from two and a half to six tons. The
methods of culture indorsed include
thorough preparation of the soil, early
seeding with grain, preferably with
oats, the use of twenty pounds of
i seed per acre, a light annual top
i dressing with commercial fertilizer,
I and the use of land free from weeds,
I especially quack grass and dodder.
I On proper soil the crop liad fair suc-
I cess, and all the growers interested
I pronounced it profitable, particularly
on certain kinds of soil. Gravelly or
slaty clay loams with good natural
underdrainage and gently sloping to
provide surface drainage gave the
.best results.—American Cultivator.
Uliat Salary Does a Farmer Receive?

Wr salary than ninety-nine out of
a hundred of them are willing to ad
mit. They under-estimate their own
Profits, and over-estimate the profits
of men living on a salary. There is a
Steat difference among those who live
by farming. A great many work the
soil because they do not know what
else to do, or because they cannot
by anything else. Many of this
Ciass hardly deserve to be classed as
farmers. They lower the standard of
arming as a business. I believe there

Peaches.
Peaches are raised and nurtured In
all parts of the country, but it is gen
erally agreed that the most tempting
kind comes from the blue grass re
gion of Kentucky.
California peaches are used largely
by Easterners. They are soft and
tender to the touch, rather large and
flowery and are very sweet.
The New England peach Is oftem
hard and sour. Some varieties, how
ever, have a splendid flavor. The
best preserved peaches come from
New England.
The New York peach is always of
the clingstone variety. It is almost
impossible to separate the peach
from the stone.
Our annual crop of peaches, while
very expensive to raise (and constant
ly growing more so), gives employ
ment to thousands of men, who labor
night and day to keep the peaches up
to the standard.
The points of a peach are not un
derstood at all. Those who are inter
ested in their culture should care
fully observe the following rules:
Peaches should be handled witji
gloves.
They should never be picked when
green, but only when they begin to
look good enough to eat.
Every peach should be well
wrapped. Great care, however, should
be taken not to squeeze too hard. The
pressure should be uniform.
Change the variety from time to
time, and you will be surprised at
the results. Almost any one variety
of peach gets tiresome if indulged in
too long.
Peaches should be kept away from
a glaring light. When testing them
turn down the gas.—Success.
-—Hairy Barns.
The Maryland Agricultural Eiperi
ment Station received an appropria
tion of SSOOO in 1907 for the purpose
of constructing anew dairy barn. Ma
terial was high and labor scarce, and
the problem of building a modern
dairy barn for experimental purposes
with that amount of money w T as
solved in the following manner:
A small movable saw r mill was se
cured, and most of the required lum-*
ber sawed from the college farm
forces, which consists of five aefes of
oak, pine and poplar trees.
Gravel for the concrete was ob
tained from a small stream which
runs through one corner of me farm.
One two-story barn ten by fifty feet
and two single story barns thirty-six
by sixty feet were accordingly con
structed.
Concrete was used for the walls of
the single story barns, and for the
first story of the large barn. The
floors and space between the barns
are all of cement.
The lumber and slate shingles
from an old dairy barn, which was
torn down, were also utilized in build
ing the new ones.
The object of the three-barn sys
tem is to compare the differences in
their efficiency, sanitation and prac
ticability.
The first single-story barn is an
open barn; that is, having four feet
of open space between the roof eaves
and the top of the walls. This barn
may be used for sickly cows as a
fresh Air treatment —a guard against
Muslin curtains may be
used weather. The King
system with ample
window light and muslin
curtain installed in the
other two barns.
The open barn has no stalls, but is
provided with a side room into which
three cows may be driven simulta
neously at one entrance, fed and
milked, and let out at another. The
other single story barn is equipped
stanchions.
iJßie cement mangers slope just
enough to permit water to flow from
a hydrant at one end to a drain at
the other. Cows may thus be wat
ered on cold days without being ex
posed to severe weather, and the wat
er may be drawn off before becoming
stale. Removable sheet iron parti
tions are inserted in the mangers at
regular intervals to separate a space
for each cow during feeding time.
The two-story barn contains the
same kind of stalls as the other, also
stalls for calves and box stalls for
bulls and cows during sickness or
confinement. It has a cooling room
and bath room on the first floor, and
rooms for grain and hay on the sec
ond. The cooling room is located on
the side next to the small barns and
is easily accessible from all three.
Three silos are” in process of con
struction. Various crops will be
used for ensilage and soiling in our
experimental work.
We hope to secure some interesting
data from the results thus
in connection with the
three different

NOISELESS, TOWDEBLESS PEN FIRES 100 SHOTS A SECOND
\\ ithout any sound except the patter of bullets as they made holes
rough targets constructed of pine boards, 100 shots a second were dis
charged from a*noiseless and powderless gun in the loft of the Standard
Meter Company’s factory.
At demonstration, which was made by the inventor of the gun,
rederick Bangerter, a mechanical engineer, were several mechanical ex
perts, w'ho had been especially invited to witness the + est.
No one was permitted to inspect the gun, which was completely hidden
by a wooden enclosure constructed around it in the corner of the loft.

DIAGRAM SHOWING THE NEW POWDERLESS GUN AND HOW IT
RIDDLED THREE TARGETS.
Before the demonstration began Mr. Bangerter explained that his in
vention does not require explosives of any kind and that compressed air
has nothing to do with the discharge of the bullets. The mechanism, he
explained, is simple—so simple, in fact, that anyone with a bent for ma
chinery could understand it if once permitted to examine the gun.
Power from a seven-horsepower electric motor supplied the propelling
force which discharged the bullets. This power was transmitted by a belt
which ran from the flywheel of the motor through an opening in the case
ment and over another wheel which was connected with the gun’s
mechanism.
No sound except the whirl of the wheel came from the gun enclosure
when the power was turned on.
For ten seconds the bullets were fed Into the gun. The spectators,
crouching behind'a wooden partition that had been erected to protect them
from rebounding shots, saw the target, which was about ten feet square and
sixty feet away, riddled with holes within a second after the rain of steel
began to rattle on the half-inch pine boards. The bullets were three
eighths of an inch in diameter. —Boston Post.
Book For Manifolding.
Those who are compelled to make
frequent use of manifold paper are
of the opinion that it is possessed of
impish traits. The paper is heavily
weighted with a composition of car
bon, so that the sheet slips and slides
ia a way which Is extremely tantaliz
ing. Then, again, it is difficult to get
it always in place just exactly in the
\ '> ‘j
i A.
right way, so that an imperfect copy
is often the result.
Anew process has been brought
out recently which makes such mis
takes less liable to happen and makes
the handling of the carbon paper
much easier. The innovation con
sists-of making a paper of such a
quality that one side may be written
on for the purpose of making a rec
ord, while the other side has a coat
ing of the carbon composition for
making the duplicate on another
sheet. As the book is bound a plain
sheet of paper is slipped between two
of these combination sheets, and the
act of making a copy is almost auto
matic. —Washington Star.

your many friends wouldn’t be satis

on us when we started on our wed

of wedding presents that we don’t

FFARFUL ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM.

‘ “My son Clyde was almost completely
covered with eczema. Physicians treated
him for nearly a year without helping him
any. His head, face, and neck were cov
ered with large scabs which he would rub
until they fell off. Then blood and matter
would run out and that would be worse.
Friends coining to see him said that if he
got well he would be disfigured for life.
.When it seemed as if he could possibly
stand it no longer, I used some Cuticura
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura
Resolvent. That was the first night for
nearly a year that he slept. In the morn
ing there was a great change for the better.
