Information Regarding Seeding for Alfalfa.

Alfalfa seems to be a subject of general interest to the farmers of the county and I am extremely glad to note that interest. Several have asked me regarding the seeding of alfalfa and I am more than glad to do aU that 'I ean to encourage the farmers along this line and help them to get a stand of alfalfa, if possible, and we know that it is possible because quite a few have tried and met with success already. Right now in a very good time to prepare the seed bed for your alfalfa. If you have rye or oats which you can get off directly, plow the ground, or if in suitable condition, disc it thoroughly, then harrow it frequently—about every week or ten days—until the seed bed is in ideal condition, for the secret to success in securing a stand of alfalfa Mes largely in the seed bed. The seed may be sown any time till the middle or of next month. Use about 15 or 17 pounds of seed to thfi acre. In regard to the innoculafcion, Which is a very important point if the crop is to do its best, both with regains to its own growth and to the improvement of the soil, I may say that the most advisable way is to apply about one load of'soil - which has grown alfalfa or sweet clover with nodules on the roots, to the acre of land that you intend to seed. In examining alfalfa or sweet clover to find If there are nodules on the roots, dig the plant up and shake the dirt off carefully, rather than pull the plant, for in this way the nodules will be Stripped from the roots. In applying this innoeulated soil it is best to do so on a cloudy day, if possible, or else harrow the ground on which the load is sown after each load and mix it with the soil of the field, for If left on the surface and subjected to the sunlight the bacteria Will be killed. After securing'a stand of alfalfa, clip the crop and weeds which will be inclined to dhoke out the young, tender alfalfa plant, allowing the clippings to remain qn the field if not so heavy that they will smother it. To determine when your alfalfa is ready to out for hay watch for the shoots which will appear at the crown rather than the blossom. The two, however, generally go hand in hand. I Will be glad to confer with anyone; personally, at any time, on this subject. O. G. BARRETT, County Agent.

BREAD ON THE WATERS.

Recompense, Just Lika In the Merisi and Plays, i A Cleveland paper tells of * trantf who came to the bask door of a rest dence and begged for shoes. Tbs mis tress of the house gave him a good pair and said to him: "There, pat these on, and Jf you want- to ebon your gratitude, just happen around here some morning after a snowstorm and clean oft our sidewalk." Some time after the lady was awak> sued early one morning by some one scraping the sidewalk In front of Die house. Looking out, she found that there had been quite a heavy fall of snow, and there she beheld the tismg to whom she had given the shoes, clearing away the snow • from the sidewalk with an old broken shovel When he eaught sight of his benefactress at the window he raised his tattered hat to her, and his self-imposed task finished, went away without saying a word or even asking for anything to eat Three times the same thing happened daring the winter, but the man never asked for compensation or food. A New York woman once invited a ragged, dirty beggar into her house, and -after he had had a comfortable meal and some clean clothing she sent him away with words of encouragement telling him that he was mads for something better than tramping; that it was a shame for a man of his apparent intelligence and good health to be getting a living In such a disgraceful way. This lady became embarrassed financially and was in sore need of money. She asked a friend where she could borrow SSOO, but he could not accommodate her, nor did he know of any one who could not Next day, to her great astonishment a man, total stranger, as she thought, called at her house and told her that he had heard she was pressed for money, and that he had come te fond her the amount she needed. With growing surprise she asked how it was that a complete stranger, whom she had never seen, waa willing to, trust her. The man then explained that he was the tramp whom, aj year before, she had taken to her home and treated like a brother; that her kindness on that occasion had < been the turning point in his career,, had made a man of him again; that his had prospered beyond his deserts, and that ever since he had gotten on this feet he had been wishing for an (opportunity to show his? appreciation! of what she had done foe him. .

Birds That Can Talk.

Professor Scott of Princeton says that wild birds sometimes Introduce variations into their songs and, again, more rarely, imitate not only the songs of other birds, but the barking of dogs, mechanical sounds 'like the creaking of wheels, the flllng;of a saw and even human speech. A writer in Bird Lore gives*this welltauthenttcated incident: One morning while I was standing on my back steps I heard a cheerful voice say: “You are a pretty bird. ) Where are you?" I wondered how any/parrot could talk loudly enough to be/heard at that distance, tor the houses f on the street behind us are not near. Preeiently the voice came again, dear, musical and strong: ‘You are a pretty bird. Where are you?” For several days 1 enduredvthe suspense of waiting tor time} to \ Investigate. Then I chased him! up. There he was in the top of a w alnut tree, and his gorgeous attire totyl me immediately he was a rose broasted grosbeak. At the . end of <a week he* Was saying, “Pretty, pretty bind. Where are you?" He and his mate stayed/ near us all last summer, and this Wring they came again. He* is making the same remark as plainly as 'Over a bird can speak.
