And these privileges are
just what Ireland wanted a

find a way to exercise them

FARMING IN ALASKA.

So
mate determine the matter, Alaska has
probably 100,000 square miles of area
on which there are possibilities for
farming and grazing. The larger pM?'
tlon of the farming land is in the. tab
terior, in the Yukon drainage, according;
to the department of agriculture's Tiejsr
bulletin, entitled -Possible Agriculture
al Development of Alaska.
Currants, raspberries, gooseberries.
strawberries, blueberries and cranber
ries are plentiful in Alaska. Varieties
of wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes
and many other vegetables have ma-i
tured every season since the depart'
ment started its work at its two most
northern experiment stations. . The de
partment has four stations. One is on
the Yukon within seventy-flve miles of
the arctic circle, another is also in the
interior, while there is one in the
southeastern and another in the south
western portion of the territory. .
It has been positively demonstrated
that forage crops may be grown in the
southwestern and central portions as
well as potatoes and other garden veg
etables. Chicken raising is also prov
ing feasible. It has also been estimat
ed that a great number of farm prod
ucts are shipped in that might easily
be raised on the ground.
The new bulletin on Alaska, while
citing so many optimistic facts, also

warns the homesteader that there are
many difficulties to be encountered.
On the south coast, where the cli
mate is mild, tillable land is scarce be
cause of the proximity of the moun
tains to the shore line. Elsewhere in
Alaska the winters are long and very
cold, and frostproof buildings must be
provided for shelter of family and
stock.
The swampy character of much of
the surface of Alaska makes it a great
breedine ground for mosquitoes and
gnats, which are almost intolerable
pests to both man and beast. It also
makes drainage a prerequisite in or
der to remove the surplus water so
that the land can be worked, raise the
temperature of the surface soil, lower
the frost line, facilitate the decay of
the accumulated organic matter and
bring about chemical changes which
will transform the soil from a very
acid condition to one much less so.
Nature reauires much time for this
last process.
Where the vegetable accumulations
are largely moss this must be destroy
ed either by burning or by carting it
from the land, for if plowed under it
decays very slowly and seems to have
an injurious effect on most crop plants
The timber growth, which occurs
on practically all the land suitable for
tillage, must, of course, be cleared from
the land.
All this work building houses and
barns, draining, clearing land of moss
and timber is very slowly accom
plished in the short outdoor working
season if done single handed by the
homesteader and costly, almost pro
hibitively so if hired labor is used, be

'" ' What to Do.
The following su.agestwns to farmers
are offered .by i the department, of ag
riculture as; am aid to the early recog
nition of hog cholera in a herd: T
First. Keep" punted concerning- the
condition and health of hogs on other
farms- in 'your neighborhood. " Sick
hogs on a neighboring farm are a posi
tive menace, for the. germs of hog
cholera are easily carried on the feet
of men or animals.
Second. Look over your herd regu
larly in order that any sick hogs may
be promptly discovered.
Third. If any hogs in the herd are
found to be "off feed" or appear in

ately from the remainder of the herd.
and keep them and the main herd un-

a-- C3
cholera. . This diagnosis may be con
firmed by killing one of the sick ani
mals and examining the organs in the
manner described in Farmers' Bulletin
379.
Fourth When the first symptoms of
sickness are observed an immediate
change of feed sometimes corrects the
trouble. That is particularly true of
swill fed hogs.
Fifth. If there is any tendency for
the disease to spread in the herd do
not temporize, but immediately treat
the herd with serum from the state
college or state live stock sanitary
board. Prompt administration of the
serum is essential to success.
Seventh. Remember that hog chol
era kills millions of hogs where other
diseases kill thousands. Dismiss from
your mind all thought of such diseases
as "lung plague," "infectious pneu
monia," "pig typhoid," etc., for these
are generally merely fanciful designa
tions given to hog cholera by uninform
ed men.
ALFALFA SEEDING.
Experiments to Determine the Proper
Amount of Thickness.
It ia often recommended that alfalfa
be seeded with twenty pounds to the
acre in order to insure a good stand of
plants, yet experience of many farm
ers shows that splendid results have
been secured from only ten to twelve
pounds of good seed. A great deal de
pends on how much of the seed germi
nates In either case, and the question
is how much seed would give the best
yields of hay if different rates of seed
ing were tested under uniform condi
tions. Ten rates of seeding were made
at Rocky . Ford. Colo., oa the experi
ment station farm.
The lowest seeding was two pounds
per acre, Wltn an increase 01 iww
pounds per acre up to twenty pounds, j
The seed was sown under ideal condi
tions on a very uniform field. The
test was made in duplicate, one series
with common alfalfa and another with
Baltic alfalfa. Records have been
completed on four cuttings of hay dur
ing 1913. There is very little differ
ence in the tons of hay per acre, and
the records should be continued for
several years before the results will
indicate what rate is best
The thin rates of seeding made coars
er, more stemmy hay, while the very
thick seedings gave very fine leafy
hay, almost too fine to get the maxi
mum yield. The thin stands were
more weedy the first and second sea
sons, while the thick seedings were al
most free from weeds the second year.
Plots seeded with eight to ten pounds
of seed per acre were the best, all
points considered. If conditions are
good for germination, ten to twelve
pounds of good alfalfa seed should give
satisfactory results, and if conditions
are not good twenty or even thirty
pounds will not insure a stand. -
ASHES GOOD FERTILIZER.
As the time approaches to clean up
ash pits and bins and to distribute ash
piles, it is well to be reminded of the
value of this product.
Coal ashes may be put upon the land
If the coarsest portions are raked or
sifted out, and these clinkers will
serve as drainage or foundations for
walks about the barnyard and poultry
yard.
Fine coal ashes may be worked into
a clay soil with very good effect of
rendering it more porous as well as
supplying some of the chemicals nec-
jessary to the growth of plants.
For fertilizing the lawn nothing is
hotter than fine wood ashes, and if
distributed during the winter and early
spring the result will be a heavy growth
Of grass.
All small fruits and orchard trees are
benefited by a treatment of ashes, and
borers that work around the base of
the trunks of trees are almost entirely
prevented from entering the bark.
A moderate amount of ashes and soot
worked into the soil around roses
greatly Increases the richness and bril
liance of coloring in the blossoms and
mate's fine foliage. Care must be taken
not to loosen the roots, as roses like
rich, firm soil.

Cicero's Villa
By WILLIAM CHANDLER
1 was very green when I went to
Italy that is. about Italy. I had been
used to "going anywhere In America
without thought of injury, Tinless late
at night in certain parts of great cities.
so 1 supposed 1 would be as safe in
Italy. I have always been fond of
walking, and when in Rome lustead
of going about among the environs in
a trolley or other vehicle 1 tramped.
A man may walk all over Italy and
not be injured, but there are certain
chances that he will he robbed or mur
dered or kidnaped.
1 was hunting for one of the many
ruins of Cicero's villa. The site in
Italy is like what Ceueral Washing
ton's body servant was half a century
ago. The old negro expired every few
years until he goj beyond a possible
age. then took his final leave. 1 had
heard of one of Cicero's dwellings be
yond the Campagna in a southeasterly
direction and resolved to visit it 1
hunted all day. finally finding a few
stones, which uaitfht have once been
a part of a villa or a wall inclosing a
nasture. It was too late to return to
KOUie tlUll
niht. so 1 looked about me
for a plat to spend the night. Seeing
a house or. a hill near by. I went there
and found a stone structure that might
once have been a villa, but was now
occupied
bv the lowest grade of Ital
iaus.
1 was toUl by a surly Italian man
that I couldn't stay there they had no
room to spare. This surprised me, for
they "Were evidently very poor, and
one of this, class would usually sleep
out in the cold himself for a few lire.
1 asked if there was any conveyance
at hand, aud when he said no I told
him that 1 was going to stay in the
house whether made welcome or not.
The man. a hag and a younger worn
an consulted angrily in Italian with
each other. Not understanding their
language. I did not know what they
said, but finally they consented to let
me remain. They gave me some black
bread all ihey had for supper and I
smoked before going to bed. Two
more men came in while 1 was eating
and on seeing me looked very much
disgruntled. It occurred to me that if
they wished to murder me they would
be pleased to have me staywith them.
Consequently I was in no danger. But
I could uot make out why they con
sidered me an intruder.
On being shown to my room, not be
ing pleased with the looks of the bed.
I spread my overcoat on it and lay
down on the coat without undressing
I hadn't lain there long before I heard
a tapping on the wall beside me. 1
was not long In understanding that
some one was rapping by the telegraph
code. But the language was not Eng
lish. I had picked up the telegraph
code some years before while station
agent on a railroad, but I knew no
other language han English. I under
stood a few words 'of French and knew
that the rapper was talking in that
language. I concluded to try English
and asked who was rapping.
A reply came in English, mixed with
a little French. The person first ask
ed me who 1 was and on my replying
that 1 was an American, stopping in
the house for the night, rapped back
that he was a French amateur ar
chaeologist, that he had been hunting
for Cicero's villa and that while doing
so had been surrounded by several
men. brought to the house and held for
ransom. He had sent to Rome for
10.000 lire ($2,000) and. was awaiting
the issue.
It was plain to me now why I was
not wanted in the house. The rascals
didn't care to tackle another man.
made up my mind that they were not
regular bandits only a few persons
who were used to the criminal meth
ods of the country. Having a loaded
revolver. I began to think up a plan
by which I might get the prisoner out
of their clutches. I was not a prison
er myself, for ou reaching my room 1
made bold to take the key out of the
door before I could be locked In.
I asked my correspondent If he had
a weapon and was told that it had
been taken from him. I then asked
him about the lock on his door, and he
said it was screwed on the inside. He
had an implement in his pocket that
he used for stone scraping purposes
which would do for a screwdriver.
After more talk 1 told him that if he
would take the lock off his "door and
come out I would Join him and we
would attempt an exit at the point of
my pistol. He seemed fearful of our
both being killed, but I convinced him
that we were not in the hands of real
bandits, and he finally consented.
He removed the lock without much
difficulty and came out to meet me Id
the hall, which was unlighted. He had
found a poker in his room beside the
fireplace and had armed himself with
it. I led the way toward a dimly light
ed apartment on tiptoe and saw a man
asleep with a carbine in his band. I
whispered to the Frenchman that
while I clasped my bands over the
fellow's mouth he should seize his
gun. He agreed to this, and we got
the man's gun without his making the
slightest noise. With my pistol on his
temple, I drove him to the door and
motioned him to unlock It. He did so,
and the prisoner and I passed out.
We spent the night under the stars
and in tin morning got back to Rome.

UNPRODUCTIVE BLACK S01L8.
Unproductive black soils are
of swampy origin and ihflirt have
an adequate system of drainage
before iieruianent .improvement
can e btained.
Both peat and unproductive
black Cr peaty sand soils are
more often deficient in potash
than any other element, and pot
ash can nearly always be ap
plied to such soils at a decided
profit. -
Some black soils are found to
be niore or less acid. Where there
is strong acidity some form of
basic lime, such as pulverized
limestone, should be applied.
On acid soils phosphoric acid
is almost always needed in ad
dition to limestone. Potash is
usually a secondary need on such
soils.
Nitrogen is not necessary as a
fertilizer on unproductive black
soils, except in a few cases.
Potash" acd phosphoric acid
will remain in the soil until used
(loose sands and gravels except
ed), so there need be no fear of
loss in making large applications
of mineral fertilizers.
A field plat test is the only sure
method of determining the ferti
lizer treatment needed, although
the character of the vegetation
is an indication.
Chemical tests are sometimes
an indication, but they are too
unreliable to be entirely depend
ed upon to determine fertilizer
requirements. From Bulletin of

NEW DATA ABOUT CORN.
Shape of Ears Bears a Relation to the
Yield.
The superintendent of the Texas sub
station at Temple, after a careful
study of the" relation of shape of ear
to yield of corn, concludes that slight
ly tapering jparent ears give the high
est yield. This is in accord with the
resultsof .experiments at the Ohio ex
periment station, in which extremely
tapering ears gave slightly higher re
sults than cylindrical ears. High yields
were" associated with comparatively
smooth kernels of slightly more than
average depth and of medium horni
ness. The 'yield increased with an in
crease in the total weight of the ear as
determined by slight increase in length,
amount of grain and rather marked in
crease in weight of cob.
In experiments at the Ohio and Ne
braska experiment stations it was
found that the highest yields were ob
tained with medium t medium long j
ears. Poorly filled butts and tips were
more frequently associated with well
filled butts' than with well filled tips.
The old score card placed much em
phasis on good filling of butts and tips,
but for several years past investiga
tors have been getting away from
this idea. It has been found that
these characters when highly develop
ed are usnaljy so developed at the ex
pense of more valuable characters,
such as yield; constitution, etc. There
appeared Jo be no relation between
yield and shelling percentage and cir
cumference and width or thickness of
kernel.

A KISS IN
THE DARK
By EVERETT P. CLARKE
When consciousness came to me 1
found myself in a strange room sur
rounded by a -number of persons, all of
whom were looking at me with sympa
thy ou their faces. 1 could not re
member how I came to be there in
that condition or why 1 felt as 1 did
The truth was that in crossing a stree
I had been knocked dowu through tin
carelessness of a chauffeur and se

he ordered every one out of the room
and. after telling me that 1 had been
run over, said that I had been carried
into a house near the scene of the ac
cident and could not be at once re
moved. One of my eyes had been injured,
and a strip of linen was laid over both
of them. Then I suppose 1 was left to
myself for awhile, for 1 beard no sound
in the room, though at intervals per
sons came and went. After having
been alone, so far as I knew, during
one of these intervals I heard what
sounded to me to be a faint rustling of
a woman's skirts. "Then there was a
vague consciousness that some one
was standing hear me looking at me.
One thing I felt sure of a warm
breath against my cheek.
Suddenly I felt a pair of lips pressed
against mine. It was only for a mo
ment, after which by the sound of
skirts I knew some one was scamper
ing away. I bad evidently been kissed
by a woman.
Now. I was at an age when a kiss
like that would naturally stir the im
agination. Was the kisser young? I
judged so by the feeling of her lips,
which were soft and warm. I longed
to get well that I might find her out
I remained where I was but a few
days, when I was taken to my own
borne. I was not permitted to remove
my eye covering before leaving the
house, so I was ignorant of the mem
bers of the family. As soon as 1 was
well enough to be out again I went to
thank them for the care they -had
taken of me. I was received by the
lady of the house, and I asked that 1
might thank every one who was In the
house during' my stay there. The lady
told me that the members of her fam
ily were one son and a little daughter
eight years old. I knew that the per
son who had kissed me4 was neither of
these, for the swish of skirts I beard
was not that of a child. I asked if
there had been any one besides the
family in the house during my sojourn
there, to which she replied that no one
had been staying there. The accident
had caused considerable excitement in
the neighborhood, and a number of
persons had come in to make inquiries.
This was as far as I could go in my
Investigation, at least at the time, and
I felt discouraged. There was a strong
probability of my remaining in igno
rance of what I was extremely anxious
to know.' I resolved to cultivate the
acquaintance of the Murrays, who had
housed me, with a view to a possible
meeting with the kisser.
This I did. The son, Ed Murray.
was about my age, and 1 took especial
pains to cultivate him. He was noth
ing loath, and we soon became excel
lent friends. I have often thought
that the kisser, seeing me going about
with him. must have quaked in her
boots. But. though I purposely talked
with Murray about my stay in his
mother's house, I gained no informa
tion as to who was there on the day
I was taken in. Ed had been away
at the time. However. I was doing
my bit of detective work very well,
and it was quite likely that by being
a good deal at the house I might run
across my quarry, and if I did I was
quite sure she would show in her fea
tures a consciousness that would be
tray her. "
Time passed, and. having thus far
failed, I concluded to reveal my secret
to some one of the family and ask as
sistance. Neither Mrs. Murray nor Ed
could be relied on to give the girl away.
I chose Efile Murray, the daughter, as
one too youtay to have mauy scruples
about giving the lady away.
'I do believe it was Kit Travers,"
she said. "She's just the kind of girl
to do a thing like that."
"Who Is Kit Travers? Was she here
on the day I was brought here?
I don't know about her being here.
but she might have been. At that time
she used to come here quite often."
"At that time? Doesn't she come
here quite often now?"
"She hasn t been in the bouse in a
long while."
I felt quite sure 1 was on the right
track. I based my conclusion on the
fact of Miss Travers having formerly
been often at the Murrays' and having
suddenly dropped off after I became
Intimate with them. I induced Effie
to send for Miss Travers on some pre
text and telephone me on her arrival.
One day I received the message and
hurried to the Murrays. 1 had my
own pretext for coming prepared, but
did not need to use it. I suddenly en-
tered a room where Effle was talking
with a verv pretty girl. The moment
the pretty girl saw me she blushed
beautifully, and I felt that I had land
ed the girl who had kissed me.
I often tell my wife that it was her
appreciation of me that brought about
my appreciation of her and. conse
quently, our marriage. If she. moved

REMARKABLE
CASE of Mrs. HAH
Declares Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Saved Her Life
and Sanity.
Shamrock, Mo. "I feel it my duty
to tell the public the condition of my
V i.i s
n neaiui Deiore using
your medicine. I had
falling, inflamma
tion and congestion,
female weakness,
pains in both sides,
backaches and bear
ing down pains, was
short of memory,
nervous, impatient,
passed sleepless
nights, and had
neither strength nor
energy. There was always a fear and
dread in my mind, I had cold, nervous,
weak spells, hot flashes over my body.
I had a place in my right side that was
so sore that I could hardly bear the
weight of my clothes. I tried medicines
and doctors, but they did me little good,
and I never expected to get out again.
I got Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and Blood Purifier, and I cer
tainly would have been in grave or in an
asylum if your medicines had not saved
me. But now I can work all day, sleep
well at night, eat anything I want, have
no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells.
All pains, aches, fears and dreads are
gone, my house, children and husband
are no longer neglected, as I am almost
entirely free of the bad symptoms I had
before taking your remedies, and all is
pleasure and happiness in my home. "
Mrs. JosiE Ham, R. F, D. 1, Box 22,
Shamrock, Missouri.
