Every Woman in America & Inter ested in This Young Girl's Experience, Alfalfa. Alfalfa is probably one of the most valuable plants for feeding live stock that is grown in this country. There are so many kinds of grain, grasees and legumes adapted to the soil and climate of Missouri that have sup- plied our wants for feeding our live stock and hence but little attention Wn given to growing alfalfa in ns State. However, it bas been grown in a small way in nearly every section of the State, and the area is being largely increased every year. It hae been demonstrated by theexperi- ment stations that a ton of first- class alfalfa hay is almost equal in ‘| value to a ton of bran for the pur- pose of feeding growing pigs, calves, colts or lambs, or for feeding milch cows or breeding sows and ewes. The dairymen of the eastern states have learned the great value of alfalfa and are feeding ground alfalfa hay, called alfalfa meal,in preference to wheat bran. Alfalfe may be prodnced in Mis- IS BEST NEGRO HELP. President Writes Letter to Secretary of National Negro Business League. New York, August 21.—Two hun- dred business men opened the sixth annual seasion of the National negro business league in this city today. The object of the league is to bring together the negroes who are en- gaged in business for themselves for mutual help and support. Booker T. Washington has been the preai- dent of the league since itsinception. A letter from President Poosevelt to Secretary Emmett J. Scott was read as follows: “Oyster Bay, N.

But when coughs and colds are properly treated, the tri y is averted. F.J. Huntly, of Oa! ‘on, Ind., writes: “My wife had the consumption, and three doctors gave her up.

The Wyoming experiment station has found that land previously in alfalfa produced from $8 to $12 more value {n wheat per acre and $16 worth of potatoes more than land previously cultivated in potatoes or grain. The alfalfa was not turned under but was taken off for hay for a period of five years. Kind of soil necessary.—While alf- alfa thrives best on an alkaline soil full of humus with a porous sub-soll { will produce fatrly well on most of the well drained soils of this state It will not be profitable to sow {¢ on a soll with a hard pan or impervious clay subsoil. It will not do well on land that fe acid, that !s land the farmers call sour land, but the acid soil if well drained may be prepared for alfalfa by sowing from 1000 to 2000 pounds of pulverized limestone per acre or about one half the amonnt of air slacked lime. It is preferable, however, to use the ground limestone which may be bought at the mills for about $1 per ton f. 0. b. Testing the soll for acidity —The farmer can determine whether-his soll {a acid by the litmus paper test. Buy five cents worth of blue litmus paper from the drug store. Take a small amount of soll from the field, put !t in a saucer, moisten with rain water to the consistency of thick paste, then with clean dry hands take two or three strips of the litmus paper, after making an opening in the wet soll with a knife insert. one end of the litmus paper in the opening and close up the soil. After the paper remains in the soil for a few hours remove it carefully, wash of the soil adhering and if the blue paper has turned de- eldeily red {¢ indicates an acid con- dition of the soll and indicates the need of lime. Ifthe paper has not turned red your soil probably does not need lime. Preparing the soil for sowing.— While good stands of alfalfa have been secured at different seasons from the first of April until the firet of October, probably the safest time to sow isfrom August 15 to Sep- tember 20.

Bear “signs” had been noticed for several days {n a melon patch. Last night Bailey went on guard early and thie morning at day break a big bear appeared. The first shot at 30 yards seemed only to anger the bear, and a hand-to-hand eon- flies ensued. The bear was finally killed and weighed 1100 pounds, the largest ever killed in the Kiamich! mountains. Its carcass was peddled out in the streets of Tallhina at fancy prices.
