' HOW DO YOU USETHE TELEPHONE? n The manner in which a person uses a telt:plume indicates his character to a grout extent, and inakus either a good or bed impression. All this impression is reflected directly upon the establish- ment from which such message comes." A card bearing these words is on every telephone in one of the largest cormnercial houses in:the United States, and a hint like that is neer:Won a great many telephones. Is it not a little bit ridiculous that so many business men assign to the job of answering the telephone the newest employee on the premises? Is it not rather startling when you telephone a man who is known to be courteous and dignified, and ask if that is his office, to receive a rather impatient reply: "Yes -what do you want?" Perhaps you explain that you want to speak to the proprietor. "Well, he's not in." You ask when he will be in. "Dunno when he'll be in." In too many cases, tbe fact is forgotten that to the other man on the other end a the line the voice on the telephone is the voice of the firm. The voice that answers on the phone answers for the firm -represents it like a traveller on the road, or an advertisement in -the press, and creates an impression every time on somebody. Why is it tsat the man who, if he calls in person, is greeted by the gener- al matmger, is greeted only by the raw- est recruit in the office if he calls by telephone? A Toronto man called up a business firm in this city four times in one day on a business matter. Each time he was answered by a difiereet voice and had to explain his case all over again. To such an establishment, the telephone is perhaps, more of a hi:Ara:lee than a help. The worst of all offendess among telephone users, perhaps. 18 the man who rings you up at your house at eigist, finds he does not want you but has got the wrong number, and erns,: ily tells COULD NOT STRIIIiINTEN UP For Lame Back.

Murderer's Grave to be Opened.77, As soon as the weather will permit the grave where the murderer Haag is supposed to be resting will be publicly opened in Walkerton. The hanging1 which took placeabout fortyyears age, is suid to have been done by a nigger who was brought here from Toronto for the job, but the black skin is said to have cut the body down before life was ex- tinct The old sexton, Daddy Geeson, who by the way was no George Wash- ington for truth, claimed many years afterwards that the murderer came into his hands alive and that he let, as it were, the cat out of the bag, and 1lowered an empty box into the grave. Color was lent to the story by parties ; returning from Detroit, who claimed tol have seen Ilaag tending bar in a saloon there. The opening of the grave will reveal the falsity or veracity of the old sexton's story, and set at rest a long standing doubt. -Herald Tim( s. One hundred and fifty million dollars annually is the estimated loss to the farmers of the United States as a re - suit of loss in meat animals through disease and exposure in that country, aecording to an official report. Losses from disease of cattle, hogs and sheep were about $122,00,000, and losses from exposure of cattle and Aileen about $28,000,000. The loss in meat, it is de - Oared, wonld have been more sufficient to furnish a normal years's supply of meat to the entire population of the New England States. scoufrIs.ri OF !IT:`.f.°A How to Recognize the 1)1t ntiQ anu What to Do. The following suggestions to farmers are offered by the &pertinent of ag- riculture as an aid to the early reeog- nition of hog cholera in a herd: First. -Keep posted concerning the condition and health of hogs on other farms in your neighborhood. Sick hogs on a neighboring farm are a posi- tive, meettee, 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 A BOG CHOLIEMA anywise skit separate them immedi- ately from the remainder of the herd. and keep them and the main herd un- der close observation daily. If there is a tendency for the disease to spread in the herd the tron bits is probably hog cholera. This diagnosis may be eon• firmed by killing one of the sick ani- mals and examining the organs in the manner described in FarmersBulletin :379. Fourth. -When the first symptoms of sickness are observed au immediate change of feed sometimes corrects the trouble. That is particularly true of swill fed hogs. Filth. -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.-Itemember 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 is often recommended that alfalfa be seeded with twenty pounds to the acre iu 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., on the experi- ment station farm. The lowest seeding was two pounds per acre, with an increase of two pounds per acre up to twenty pounds. Tbe seed was sown under ideal condi- tions on it 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 eontinued 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 shouldgive satisfactory results, and if conditions are not good twenty or even thirty pounds will not insure a stand. ASHES GOOD FERTILIZER. As the time approachea 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 tipon 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. Pine coal ashes May he worked Into a clay soil with very gooa effect of rendering it more parous as well as supplying some of the chemicals nec- essary to the growth of plants. ror fertilizing the lawn nothing Is better than fine wood ashes, and if distributed during the 'winter and early spring the result will be it beavY growth of grass. All small fruits and orchard trees are benefited by A treatinent Of ashes, and borers that work around. the base of the trunks Of trees are almost entirely prevented from entering the bark. .6„ moderate alnount f ashes and soot Worked into the soil around roses greatly increases the riehriess and brit.

The Possibilities of That Territory, and What Can Be Grown. So far as topography, soil and cll. raate determine the matter, Alaska has probably 100,000 square miles of area on which there are possibilities for farming and grazing. The larger por- tion of the farming land is in the in- terior, in the Yukon drainage, according to the departeueut of agriculture's new bulletin. entitlea -Possible Agricultur- 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- tured every season since the depart- ment started ita work at its two most northern experiment stations. The de- partment bas four stations. One is on the Yukon within seventy-five miles of the arctic circle. another is also in the interior, while there is one in tbe southeastern and another in the south- western portion of the territory. 11. has been positively demonstrated that forage crops mas• be grown in the soutbwestern 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 sb many optimistic facts, also ON A FARM IN ALASKA. 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 breeding 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 requires 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, tor if plowed under it decays very slowly and seems to have an injurious effect on most crop plants. The timber growth, wlaich occurs on practically all the la.nd suitable for , tillage, must, of course, be cleared from 'the land. 1 Al! this work -building houses and barna, draining, clearing land of mess and timber -is very slowly accom- plished in the short outdoor working 1 season if done single handed by the homesteader and costly, almost pro- hibitively so if hired labor is used, be- cause of the high wages and living ex- penses. Lack of genera.' tranaportatioti which I 'would open ep the country, of local wagon roads, schools, thurches and other features of present day life and of the markets In which to sell farm products and from which to obtain home supplies and farm equipment BM deterrent features at present, but they will disappear in time. The federal homestead laws extend to Alaska, excepting that, instead of 160 acres, 320 may he filed upon. Very little of the available land has been serveyeth but that work Is now in hrogresa. One may locate on union- veyed land, file a claim and establish lines by metes and bounds, but he cannot secure a title until a survey has been made by an authorized snr- veyor and the survey approved. If the survey Is made In advance of that male by the government it is done at the expense of the homesteaders, froil that Is heavy. _ NEARLY DIED GI' STONE THE BLABBER GIN PILLS sAVCD HIM 513 jAmus Sr. Ithere'roer, ONT.

While they are saying nice things about the country editor in the city press, and bewailing his unrequitted and unappreciated talents, it will be well to remember that his lot is not al- together an unhappy one; there are oases in his desert. It is well to remember that he be- longs to a favored 'class that enjoys real food. While his pocketbook may occasionaly be empty, he has no meal ticket worries, and the rich bounty of the farm falls into his waiting lap. There may have been rumors of newly laid eggs, in the city marts, and corn - fed pork and corncob -smoked hams and golden butter firkined in poutingcrocks; of morning's milk crested by solid inches or rich cream; or tender broilers, and of fatted calves; but to the country editor these are no idle dreams, but established facts of his existence. What boots it if his ready, print bill be in temporary abeyance, if he may tuck his limbs under a table bearing real food borne thither by his constant readers? There are disappointments, of course, to the sensitive country editor. It is disquieting and discomposing to learn from a subscription that his paper is Loxtlar with the farmer's wife because it tts her pantry shelves; it is a shock to note that the president of the local bank reads the continued story before he scans the able and fearless editorials; and it is an unpleasant task to meet, face to face, without office boy bumpers, the brawny citizen who takes excep- tions to the item in this week's paper. But there are compensations; he has health and his regular rations of fresh, nutritious foods. The country editor is doing no less a work than his metropolitan brother. He is filling his field ably and intelli- gently, and doing his share toward building the greaterrepublic. He is a prominent member of his community, his opinions carry weight, and he is a useful citizen. Too often it happens that his treasure accumulates only on the far side of the river. Some day, somewhere, a marble shaft will point heavenward in memory of this useful citizen's virtues, erected by appreciative admirers who sensed, too, late, the value of his services.
