' "I used to set traps like that," this man saia, referring to oao which eomo pcy had set up in a city street tp catch sparrows. It was, a small wooden box turned bottom 'side up and iet at the outer "edge of the sidewalk with ope end , lifted and supported on a stick. Ono ' nd of tho stick, was on the sidewalk; and the other end under the box edge. The boys put sonje oats on the side walk under Jhe box, and to the sup porting stick .hero was attached a, ittring leading across the sidewalk to the house area, the boys' lair. When the sparrows came under the box to get the oats you pulled the string and Switched the stick out and down came the box to trap the sparrows under it. Or that was the idea. "Just like that,?' this man went on. "That's a time-honored sort of trap. We didn't have any sparrows then; what we used to try to catch was plgeo&3, Coves, and we used a bigger box, a eoaphox, and what we used to put under it was bread crumbs. "Time and again I've set up- such a trap in a street where pigeons used to come around and baited it and then got off somewhere holding the string and waited for the pigeons to walk, under the box so I could trap 'em. "And the pigeons would come and they'd walk uround the box and pick; up things all around it and sometimes they'd get so' close that I was sure they were going under and then I'd grouch down, all keyed up, ready to pull and get 'em, but somehow they generally Btopped right at the edge, or If one got under and I pulled the fctrlnj the pigeon wag always, sure to, feet away before the box; came down. ' "I don't know Just how it was, but I never caught a -pigeon. I guess it jvill be about the same here now with", these boys trying to catch sparrows. . but It's a lot of fun to set the trap and fry." 5 ' - I x We are now in ! the market for I I all kinds of . t Such as Beech, Birch, ' Maple, Elm and Ash.

AIMfc; The Dairyinio Best Friend. (IJV James W. nEUfE. Ten ?eirs am the' writer beiran to row alfalfa hi southern Michigan.

POJL fOR ALFALFA. Alfalfa seem? to thrive well on san dy or Qlay soils provided they are well drained. Permanent moisture should nut, b nearer than Ave feet of tin Htirface. t does not do wel on rich muck lands or lands natprully wet. and standing Jiurfaco water will kill airalTa In two or Hiree dav8. Utn need a fairly rich soil lu start on It itf a uusiake to sow It on poor lu 1 without liberal fertilisation, SOWING ALFALFA Alfalfa should be sown Just as earl) in tin fpriii as iosslole. in April or vi Mich If posille. Frosts. o,eten irttiity weather, will riot hurl the ou ' tfalfata plants. It jfi'OWt cold weal tier when nust weed are dormant pd early seep Ins Kh'e It b chance to get ahead of the weeds, li may be sown alone or with a urs Ci-op, If the latter is used, a buhe. if barlev to the npre is ihe btst Tin writer sow it alone and generally ret on3 yood rrop of hay the same seasoi. and soiweiimes two. Twenty pound? of seed to the acre Is abut the ritfh amount Hi sow. I prepare my grun ihorJUifhly making a good seed bed, 1 sow broad-cant, use a we rier to covei the seed and then roll the ground. While I have never Inoculoted rav s ii syilh alfalfa baoterla, the vau f a good iUnd of alfalfa is sogreu; that rccomnieud inoculation, li mav be done In three ways. First, b iieiitlng the seed with a culture 01 bicteria which can be obtained at the Agricultural College. IStcond. by sow ing a pound of sweet clover seed 'to every twenty pounds of alfalfa Third, by sowing on the Held, soil taken fremanold alfalfa Held or along tiie road where sweet clover flourishes CLIPPING ANp CUTTING. Unless the weeds show up very had I would not clip it until the alfalfa shows Mosoms. Often the first year t will turn yellow when sij or eight ImcIich high. Mow It doWD at once an't Ir. will rtmo up nice and green Lt it g into winter with an after math siiii'-hes high to hold t he snow TWfi TO CUT ALFALFA IAy. Most people cut alfalfa too late. As soon as blossoms begin to appear It Is time to cut the crop. This Is very im portant especially with the first crop. 11 ine nrst crop is aiiowen to get into full b'oom before cutting, the next crop will be seriously Injured. Ii Is Kuld that tt will pay to cut the first crop on time and lose It rather than postpone the cutting for weather con ditions. Moreover, the hay baa a greater feediug value if cut early and the stand will be benefited. CURING THE juy. Alfalfa will stand more wet weath er in t he cock than red clover. If al lowed to lie In the sun too long the leaves will rattle off. In practice af ter cutting I allow it to get well wilt ed, then 1 rake it up and let it stand and cure In the cock for several days. Then I open up the cocka for about (n hour to dry oil the sweat and then draw. In rainy weather, which Is probable during the first and third putting, I find hay cap of great value. For t hee 1 buy cornmon unbleached sheeting -10 inches wide, making a cap 40 inches square, hi each corner 1 sew an 8-ounce stone to elgh them. Such a cap costs nine cents and will do excellent service for years if. taken care of. ALFALF Ay AS A PAIRY t& Chemical analysts shows that well cured alfalfa hay has the same, food value as bran, pound or pound.

If a (torn mercial fertiliser Is iihed When seed ing, one ktroog with phosphoric acid is the best. WUT EVEUV FARMER SIOULp pROV ALFALFA First. It will yield four to live ton of hay per acre each ear. Second, It has a greater food valu than any other coarse forage. Third, Alt stock like it'aud do wet on It. Fourth, It enriches the . soil am makes possible better crops. Fifth. A seeding once started lasu for years, a great saving oyer feeding of red clover. Sixth, All stook like It aqd It fur nishes a rich food that enables a far mer to dispense with maqy feed bills! Seventh, While, cattle and horses should not (e pastured on It, it makes the very best possible hog pasture foi the production of cheap pork.

The ocean, assailing tho cliffs, gradually tears them away, but this very process furnishes a defense) for the land by building up long beach-, es of sand and shingle which arrest the waves before they can attack the cliffs. An effort Is making to prevent or better regulate, the removal of this material for construction and ro4 building, because In wany places Its removal has permitted the tea freely to exert its power of erosion. The Ordinance purvey has ascer tallied that In the last thirty-five years England has lost ,000 acres by sea erosion, and gained 48,000 acres through reqlairaing land the existence of which Is mainly due to material brought down by the rtvers.
