Watauga Democrat , Thursday, March.2, 1905. Mr. Editor: If theelairaeof thote who have grown the plant are trna alfalfla or lu cerne must indeed be a won derful as well as profitable foragerop, I have noticed articlea in many farm papers, government Year Rook, etc., all of which unite in at once pronouncing it one of the greatest of the 1 a g u in e family. One authority says tbat land which formerly ronld have been bought for $10 an arte, afer having been act in nlfnlfa readily sdls tor from $100 lo $200 an acre It is said to be a great plant for renovotingor bring ing up worn out land as it draws up en much plant food from-the snbsoil, its roots penetrating to a depth of three feet and over, andt be ing a lagume, having the power to utilize the free nitro gen in the air. Of course a plant with such u root sys te in is not affected by t h e droughts ut all, and high au thorities nay it ran be cut three or four times during a season, yielding from one to two tons per acie.and unlike the other clovers, one setting lasts forjthany years. Then ta inn tinria t Ka npiltnari alfalfa and theTnrkesbanal falfia; the latter said to be not so suitable to our coun try. It Is also said tbat not all soils contain the bacteria necessary to the development of the plant, and where it it lacking of course it would not grow. But right here sei entitle research steps in with a little cake of what is called nitro-culture hih being dis solved in water and sprinkled upon the seed jnst before planting will inerease't b e crop from two to ten times! Sow that sounds almost mi- inruiiiup, iiui nit; Bi'ini lima all agree that it is so and . the United States Govern ment in thedepartment of Ag frulture Say it isBoamrsend out this bacteria to the farm ers free of charge wbn tbey have it on hand at present the supply is out, more wiii be available after July lt for fall sowing, but our qxperi ence in this country is t h a t fall is not the time to sow clover as it dot get suffh ient root to withstand the freezes. Now, the object of this ar ticle is to ask if any one in Watauga ha ever tried this plant and if so what success, and if they raffed, why in their opinion the failure. Hope to I a' ' . a neirrironi some one on mis great plant, who knows from "xperifnee something about ft. Hay Seed, . One night last week Thom as Harris, of Baltimore, acor poralin the3Ist Co., Coast Artillery, stationed at Fort , Caswell, N. C, was shot and Wiled by Lee Kye of thesame .company, Kye had been as sfgned to special service in potting down the illicit sale . of Ircpior on the government reservation and accosted Hnr ris in-the dark, commanding .- him to bolt. At this juncture Harris-gave an insulting com ' nana in return ann started fa run whn the fatal hot was tired, Kye is under ar- Ccdcl Dyspepsia Ccro :rJ;.v Cfssts what you eat , )r. C W. Phippa. This writer would like to add one more flower to the chaplet kind friends have al ready woven in memory of Dr. C. W. Phipps. Large hearted, kindcbaritable, his seemingly nntimelv'death is deplored by all, forevery one who , knew him appreciated him for his many superior traits of character that trade him lndefdXoiem of sterling worth. Those wno knew hi in", nest appreciate him most, and bis death has given to the coun ty another one of thosje shocks, as one by one by one our old substantial friends pans into the great mysteri ous unknown. Hedied ''in the harness.' working tor the good of his country. The familiar form and kind voice will be missed in our midbt but we will ever remember him ns oneof our best friends. Our .ten.ierest symdathy iw extended to the lonely wid ow in this dark hour. Friend, At Philadelpota on the 23rd ult. nJismoll box dure up in aninnocent manner was found in a private mail box addressed to United Statts Senator Penrose. The pack age was turned over to a de tective without exploding its contents. The box contained gun powder and a bottle of liquid supposed to be nitro glvcerine, on portions of the wrapper were the"namea of different corporations. An other wrapper',contnlned the inscription: "President Koose velt, we are not in any trust; time limited inauguration." It is thought the machine is the work of a crank, but theie is no clue to his identi ty. One , of the: smallest coun tries in the world, San Salva dor, bait issued the large num ber of 405 difiVrent postage stumps, while England has ouly issued at home 205 kinds, and 5.711 in her colo nies. The total of European issues is 4,089. Impoverished soil, like impov erished blood, needs a proper fertilizer. A chemist by analyz ing the soil can tell you what fertilizer to use for different products, If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the rich, red corpuscles that are lacking in it. It may be you need a toflie, but more likely you need a concentrated fat food, and fat is the element lacking: m your system. There itf no fat food that is so ensily digested and assinri' luted ns Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil It will nourish nnd (strengthen the body when inilk and cream fuil to do it. Scott's Emulsion is nltf'n,v the same? Jifwuve palatable; and always bciiefk'iu) where the body Is want ing from any cause, either in children or adults. Wo wlH sendyoa a tample tete.

When a lad has reached the age of four years his military course begins at home. The our grot prinwnlwj which enter into this military course is the training of the muscles, the stomache, the nerve and the soul. Adolph Webber, a young white man, of Auburn.. Col., has been convicted in t h e courts for killing his mother. He is also accused of killing his father, sister and brother and burning the fa mil v resi dence. He is the sole heir to a largo and valuable estate. What does it profit a man if he gains all and then gets his neck broke? There is an island off the coast of Ecuador which a bounds in black cats These very rertinrk.able cats, dwell in crevices of the lava and live by catching finh and crabs instead of rats and mice. One day last week at Low ell N. C. Mrs. A. J. Clemmer and little daughter was burn ed to death. It was only an other case of kindling the tire with oil. The little girl wns pouring oil on the fire when the can exploded. The insane the Conleder ate soldiers and the educa tional institutions already es tablished come first. No new institutions shonld be launch ed before these are well cared for. The State's income can not properly care for these and make any costly new de parture; the new institutions projected can wait. Hot Springs Ark. experien ced a disastrons fire on the 25, the county j.iil and court house was burned destroying many valuable records. The loss is over one million dol lars. The great tunnel through the Alpes, which has been on der way for seven j ears, has been completed and will be open for traffic by March the 20tb. Louisyile, Ky., is having a remarkable revival of reli gion. Four .thousand have b e e n converted nnd it is thought that the number will be doubled ere the services close. Birds are being shipped in egg crates now. A game war den at Greensboro looked in to an eKg crate and found birds inHtead of egga. Thousands of the younger and smaller orange trees in Florida were killed by the recent cold wave. WANTED.
