and while atlll a boy a dispatch "per
ator had taken a fancy to hint and
taught him telegraphy. and at the
earliest momeut he could leave home
ha turned his face westward
At the division headquarters of the
P. <}. railway, Artaona, an opening was
found for him. and he was sent oat on
the line. 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

In despair Clarkson
centered all the seven wires In his
charge, including the overland press

The “ hobo" put down the

and sighed.

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

that he would sleep over the matter

A lfalfa Gaining Favor
Among Horse Breeders
Many fannsrs havs looked with sus
plclon on alfalfa hay as a feed for
horsss. "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

The ration should include tankage or
skim milk. With a good pasture to

Self-feeders are a convenient mean*
for feeding corn and tankage, and
the use o f self feeders results I d as
good nnd often better gulns than the
hand feeding method, fawik the self-
feeders over before you need to sturt
using them to be sure they are In
good working order.
A self feeder
should keep the feed dry, Insure that
feed Is before the pigs at all times,
and prevent waste by leakage or too
free running of feed.

pasture for rattle and horses but, of
course, Is not equal to the legume*,

dan grass Is as a catch pasture or
