Any time during the fall is best to plant it. It can be planted any time that you can plant oats or vetch j as it does not mind the cold. i The first thing to do is to select I the land. Any will do. so that the j water level is at least 2 1-2 f- et j below the surface, and it is not sub" ; ject to overflow. Take land, if possible, with as much i humus as possible, such as grass W weeds, hay or stubble. On this spread all the stable manure, woods rak- j | ^ ing, etc., that is available', and if you j | can. why put broadcast about 200 | pounds or more of muriate of potash on this. This must now be plowed in with a turn plow, following eacn turn plow ; furrow with a bull tongue or subsoil plow. After this ias been done, not before, broadcast 2,000 pounds (one ton) of lime, shell lime preferred, as it is free of all harmful bacteria germs and magnesia or earthy matter and will destroy all acidity in the soil and render it sweet for a number of ttdo to T.imo ic vprv PSCiPntial t.O al ^ VW.1 -UXUAVs A >w> VA falfa. This must then be thoroughly harrowed in. Lime works downward and as it convicts the humus and stable manure into available plant food, none-will escape. Allow this to remain 30 days, then harrow again, until you have a nice seed bed, freshly harrowed. Next get the best alfalfa seed you can, 20 or 25 i pounds per acre. Inoculate the seed | with the freshest bacteria germs you can get. Let it be done with clean I I , The Nev ^MM Capital St T?he Bank i <5$H !?ai5>j?

S lect a cloudy day, soon in the morning, or late in the evening, and cover as fast as sowed with a harrow, so as to prevent th hot s^n rays from killing the germs you have applied to the seeds. I)o not be discouraged if your plants do not grow f?st during the winter. .Th roots are growing, and vnn q1-on If] find fhpm vprv soon nllpd with nodules. In the spring you will find you will have a fine, healthy field of alfalfa. Make your first cutting as soon as it is in bloom. It will last you as a forage croo for ten years, with as many as five cuttings each year. After the first year it increases in yield each year. It does not mind drouth, for the roots will find the water. It does not ^eed fertilizer, for the bacteria germs 011 the roots will continue to draw nitrogen from the atmosphere through the leaves and j stems. These little miscroscopic ani mals live on the saccharine matter they get from the plant, and pay the j plant back in nitrogen to make it j grow, for the fin-:r it grows the more food they have to live on and to mul- j tiply in thp soil, carrying out that provision of nature for the animal and vegetable kingdoms to live upon one another. WOMES TO WEAR TWO STOCKINGS One For Each Leg: Under Tariff.? So Tillman Declares. Washington, Oct. 13.?Senator Tillman, who illuminated the pages of The Congressional Record a few days ago witji> an 18-year-old cartoon of the "income tax and Wall street Cow," added another chapter to his reminiscences today when he had read before the senate a poem submitted during the tariff debate of 1889 by Senator Zeb Vance of North Carolina. The poem was entitled, "A Girl With Aerry Savin; :ock z That Always Has T1 TfSfntE /SkTlTE^ 5|V M y w> $hw A j 1lo > W-banic ^Acspwp Copyrirht 1909. by C. a. Zimmermaa Co ?x*?

One Stocking?a Prot ctive Pastoral." It open d with the lines: "Our Mary had a little lamb, And her heart was most intent, To make its wool beyond its worth, i Bring fifty-six per epnt." I 1 The poem went on to show thai un- j der the protective tariff i "Wh rever that jioor girl went, One leg was warmed with wool, And one with 56 per cent." Under "free wool'' the girl would be j able to wear two stockings. "It is appropriate to reproduce it i just at this time wnen we nave t-n| acted another tariff law." said Senj ator Tillman. "With free wool Mary j will have to forego the 56 per cent, | and let her woman friends wear siockj ings on both legs instead of one? ! something they have not been able j to do in more than 20 years." ; KENTUCKY SENATOR j INVITED TO FAIR | I Ollie James Yesterday Received a Letter From South Carolina Officers.
