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.

Uliat Salary Does a Farmer Receive? receives the equivalent of a 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 s ao business by which a man can with so much neglect as agriculture') Still nothing better re iays good care and ability.

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 —C.

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. n'h M ksssv ) ptyf* Hi \f I ’ *•“vJsi “it; LMlaym Vt v ‘ i r*— * \ > I : 1 yxmju, \ |orjiANaf \ jAcramb As# L ?Q ff , 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. How to Prevent Long Speeches.

''&&& ■ your Bye * The Right Sort of Wife. An Atchison man recently refused a proposal of marriage. “I Lke you,” he said to the girl, “but you have too many friends. There would be too many at our wedding, for you would be afraid not to invite them all, and your many friends wouldn’t be satis fied unless they made fools of us by playing some kind of crazy pranks on us when we started on our wed ding journey. You have so many friends that we would get all kinds of wedding presents that we don’t want, and would be kept poor in future trying to pay back when the donors got married.

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. In about six weeks he was perfectly well. HELD UP.
