RAISING ALFALFA IN ILLINOIS f SSBMBBSJBBBBS!
Charles E. Yannpy of McLean county, on the George S. Hanna Place, has some remarkable results with alfalfa. He got a good stand on six acres by breaking the ground tne last of July, disking it thre times, harrowing and cross-harrowing two or three times, dragging twice, sowing 20 pounds per acre of seed broadcast, harrowing It In arid rolling the groand. This was in 1906. The alfalfa grew about four inches high that fall and was not cut In 1907, it yielded about two tons per acre, but in addition 150 pigs In 1908, the big return.! began. Three cutting of hay'rehirned 2y2 .tons per acre, but in addition 150 pigs were pastured on this alfalfa from the time of the first cutting until December. The pigs were bought when Second Cutting they weighed 45, 50 and 60 pounds, and when they wew weighed in the middle of December they av-araged 125 pounds. Gounting a cain of 75 dbounda per head and allowing $100.00 for about 200 bushels of corn fed to the hogs, and figuring the pork at 5 cenU per pound, these hogs re turned 5462.00: the hav was worth S3. 00, total $657.00 from six acres or $103.00 per acre. Contrary to the results in many other cases this pasturing did not hurt the alfalfa and was repeated without harm the next year. In 1909, this pleco of alfalfa yielded 3Mj tong per acre in threo cuttings and pastured 83 hogs from tho t!mo tho alfalfa was four inches high In tho spring Until Auguat 14, when 6C head wcro sold, and from thon till froat It pastured tho remaining 17

Counting only 80 hogs and noth-1 ing for the pigs, they returned, after: paying for the 250 bushels of corn fed, $420.00 to the credit of the alfal-' fa alone; the hay was worth $273.00; I total $693.00, or $115.50 per acre. This alfalfa was not injured by this extra hard treatment but some parts of it were frozen out last winter, and this spring the field was disked and ; .rneellDlroil on1 V, ' cross-disked and the thin spots reseeded, securing a fair stand. While many doubt that alfalfa is suited to Illinois, not having examined the evlof Arfalfa. dence, and many more hesitate to, start this new delicate crop, Mr. Yanney and hundreds of others are getting splendid results from it. Coburn on Alfalfa. 'The cultivation and feeding of al falfa mark the highest development of modern agriculture. Alfalfa is one of nature's choicest gifts to man; it is the preserver and tho conserver of the homestead. It does not fail from old ago.

WITCHCRAFT IN ENGLAND.. Th Last f the Judicial ProMcutlon and Executions. Sir Matthew Hale, it is true, had hanged two poor women at Gambridge in 1664, but a few years later Lord Chief Justice Holt set himself strongly against such charges and in every case tried before him
directed the jury to bring in a verdict of acquittal. In a celebrated trial at Guildford in 1701 not only was the supposed witch found not guilty, but her false accuser, one John Hathaway, was condemned to a year's imprisonment and to stand in tho pillory three times. Yet, horrible to relate, a woman named Hicks and her daughter, a ohild of nine, were hanged together at Huntingdon on July 28, 1715 for raising a storm of wind in league with the devii. The !;:st judicial sentence for witchcraft in Kntrland was in 173, one Jane Wen bam being actually found guilVv, nrvonling to the indictment, of conversing familiarly with tin- leil m the form of a cat' Tl., iclae, however, procured a reprieve r poor old Jane, and she was ultimately released, to end her davs in nrace. Last, tlv witchcraft act was repealed for the United Kingdom in the same year. It was quite time, for onlv nine vears earlier, in 1727, a woman was brought before Captain David Ross, deputy sheriff of Sutherland, charged with "causing her daughter to be shod by4 the devil," and so making her lamebbth in hands and feet. The fact having been proved to the captain's satisfaction, the old woman was put into 'a tar barrel and burned at Dornoch. The weather being cold at the time, we are told that she "sat composedly warming herself by the fire prepared to consume her while the other instruments of death were getting ready . . . The last attempt to execute a witch in England ended disastrously for the perpetrators. In 1751 at Tring two old people' named Osborne, in an and wife, being suspected of witchcraft, wcro seizeä by a crowd, stripped, cross bound and thrown into a pond. Both died of this brutal treatment. But tho witchcraft net had been repealed. and, a verdict of willful murder haying been returned against one Colley, the chief instigator of the aatault, he was in duo course trieft!
