His town consisted o f the station house, depot and water tank. Water tanks ara not particularly In teresting objects, but they act as a magnet toward the weary brake-beam artist, as here he can find rest and liquid refreshment, and being few and far between In this country, rarely a train passes one without stopping for water. Clarkson had not been In his office many days before it was firtnl} Im pressed upon him that when a tramp wanders Into a desert station, the first thing he wants is water. So Is the second and third. His pail of lee w ater would be emptied almost as soon as filled, and nothing would remain to testify that It had been filled except a wet and muddy floor, where the tramp had spilled some of the con tents of the pall. Being of a mild disposition and slight build, ho did not like to argue with the thirsty, and so he set about a plan whereby he might impersonally rid himself of the water hogs. Attach ing a wire to the flo»>r of his office, he ran It to the handle of the drinking cup. so that anyone standing on the wet floor with the cup In hla hand would get the full benefit o f the tele graph wire when a switch or “ ground" wire was put on. When a tramp came for a drink. Clarkson would wait till the fellow- had got well settled back with the cooling ice water gurgling down his throat. Then he would tap his con necting wire and send a few casual train orders chasing Into the drink e rs midst. Now. It is not an Indian summer's dream of peace to drink a hot. blue- tinted train order with sawteeth on It and as this torchlight parade would troop down the thirsty man s throat, he would suddenly let go of the unemp- tled cup. mutter a few relevant but unseemly remarks and hurry away. The fame of Clarkson’s contrivance spread quickly, and the train men neg lected their work to watch for tramps who might chance along to drink a cur report a wrecking order, or a batch of commercial messages One soft-heart ed conductor kindly hauled a “ hobo” nearly a hundred miles to give him a drink with special S. F. B. Morse trimmings. On one of those still and very hot days such as usnally precede a storm In that section, a speck appeared tn the distance down the railroad track, and Clarkson grinned as he watched It approach. A red. dusty tangle of beard covered the tramp's face, aod his lank, shifting person was as rag gedly attired as a scarecrow for coyotes. Altogether, be was a most happy and promising subject, and Clarkson tingled with Joy as the fel low made Mralght for the water pall. When he was well In the act of swal lowing. the dispatches were turned on but he continued drinking without showing the slightest visible cor,.-era. Some train hands were near and Clark son felt that his reputation was at stake. So be tamed on another wire snd gave the tramp certain ‘‘ Inside In formation* on the Mock market. Noth ing happened. In despair Clarkson centered all the seven wires In his charge, including the overland press relay, and let the tramp have them In the next cup of water he drank. In vain. The “ hobo" put down the emptied cup and sighed. “ Much b’llged. This makes me homesick: makes me think o f the old well on the farm. Much b'llged." Then, with a good share o f the tele graphic service o f the P. (j K ill«a y company secreted In his system, he went forth refreshed and rejoicing. That night a rush dispatch from the superintendent of telegraphs was re ceived by Clarkson, stating that he had grounded all the wires of the serv- 1.*, held up seven passenger trains, de layed the Associated Press dispatches, besides embarrassing the running of ibree perishable freight extras. The dispatch closed with the query : “ What have you got to say for yourself?” Clarkson studied the message al ternately with the now empty water bucket, but not finding In them any thlrg to ’’say for himself,” he decided that he would sleep over the matter and answer In the morning He went to beu, but couldn’t sleep The Image o f the “ hobo” calmly drink- m* t>! pori» h b e l» ee •H o« imrtnu tlnnkir the M\ ,} e tlnïecL saw edged tr..in r unted him.

"This, however. Is no longer true." says II. R. Cox. agronomy spo- clsllst at the New Jersey State Col- legs of Agriculture, "fo r actual trial has convinced most farmers that al falfa Is safe and good when certain precautions are taken.” Farmers early found horses to be so fond of alfalfa that If the manger Is kept full tha animals are very apt to eat too much. Accordingly their first precaution was to feed alfalfa In moderate amounts, not more than a pound to a hundred o f live weight Excellent results are now secured by making alfalfa furnish about half of the roughage, the rest being furnished by timothy hay. corn stover, or even itraw. This generally d'H-s away with Uie danger from o\ereatlng alfalfa. A second precaution now taken by farmers Is not to feed dusty or moldy hay to horses, since they are. more susceptible than cattle to aliments caused by spoiled hay. which some times produces heaves and other trou ble*. Because alfalfa Is apt to have s little more dust or mold In It than grass hay. special care Is taken In harvesting nnd storing I t A large crop o f alfalfa was pro duced on many farms In New Jersey this year and. though primarily for cattle feed. It will form a substantial part of the horse ration on these farms. Pigs at Weaning Time Should Be Given Grain t’ lgs at weaning time should be getting all the grain they will eat.
