After the siege had lasted for a long time the emperor determined to take it by storm and to destroy all it contained by fire and sword He did not. however, wish to injure the defenseless women. Therefore he sent a proclamation into the town saying that all the women might leave the place unhurt and carry with them whatever they held most precious. The nobleman's wife instantly decided to take her husband, and the other women followed her example. They soon issued from the city gate in a long procession, each one with her husband on her shoulders. The emperor was so much struck with the noble conduct of the women that he spared alL Even the city itself was left untouched. To protect telegraph poles from rotting in the ground a new French practise is to surround their ends with earthenware pipes and fill the pipes with melted rosin and sand, which solidifies and becomes waterproof. Using special breathing apparatus suplying oxygen three Frenchmen recently ascended nearly thirty-three thousand feet in a balloon without suffering any 111 effects.

A systematic canvas from farm to farm, grange to grange, and oftentimes from field to field was made in an effort to bring to the farmer in his own home the facts and figures which have been stored up in the pamphlets and archives of the agricultural schools and colleges. Taking part in the campaign, either in an advisory capacity or as speakers, were the following members of the Agricultural Extension Depart ment: C. M. Carrol!, formerly with j the Crop Improvement Committee; W. R. Baugham, a prominent rancher and alfalfa rrnr nf TmtB T V. Warn. goner, formerly of the Mississippi Agricultural College; R. W. Umson of Iowa; J. E. Buck of Chicago; C. W. Farr, assistant county superintendent of Cook County, Illinois; the Hob. O. H. Alford of Georgia, and C. H. Allen, a retired banker of Ohio. That the farmers were ready for the blessings which alfalfa strews ever a neighborhood which gives it a neighborly welcome, was evidenced everywhere by the crewds that greeted the campaigners at every stop. At no time were any of the speakers without an enceurarin au dience, and on seme occasions the rartv was oblieed te divide, a nart addressing the school children while others spoke te the farmers. The advent of the cortege into a community was made Alfalfa Day in the schools. In the towns the children paraded eut to meet the antos, singing special al falfa songs and waving flags. It Is estimated that between three and four hundred farmers in that one county alone pledged themselves to make a start with alfalfa and do It according to the rules laid down by Federal Expert J. II. Skinner. Kent County, In the census of 1910. was credited with raising only 73 acres of alfalfa, but all Indications at the present time are that by 1915 there will be 10,090 acres flourishing with this legume. It was shown that en the typical sand or clay loams east ef the Mississippi alfalfa could be raised as easily and as surely as clover yielding three crops a season and that ft was the greatest plant the farm world has yet discovered for extracting nitrogen from the air and storing it up in the soil, thus rejuvenating run down aad ever-cropped farms.
