Housewives Welcome a Maple Flavor That Has the Real Maple Taste Vermonters have a reputation for the quality of the maple syrup pro duced in their state. It is but a few years since the discovery was made of a method of imparting this delicious flavor to dishes without the use of maple syrup. The new flavoring ex tract was appropriately named Ma pleine. Strange as it may seem, Vermonters themselves cannot tell the difference between syrup made with Mapleine and that which comes from their own Green Mountain state. This is due to the purity of the ingredients and the care used in the manufacture. Mapleine is perfectly healthful, is purely vegetable and makes a syrup that is equal to any and superior to many brands of maple syrup that are placed on the market. Flavoring for cakes, icings, blanc mange, sauce, etc., that is delicious and has all the piquancy and delicacy of maple syrup can be readily made by the addition of a few drops of Mapleine to a little water in which granulated sugar has been dissolved. Mapleine syrup makes such dishes as rice, tapioca, stale bread, etc., simply irresistible to children. Mapleine Dainties is the title of a booklet full of wholesome receipts pub lished by the Crescent Manufacturing company, who make Mapleine. The booklet will be sent free to anyone who asks for it. You can buy Maple ine of your grocer. Try it, you'll like it as thousands of others have. Here is a sauce for puddings that is deli cious : Whites of two eggs, one and one-half cups of granulated sugar, one cup of milk and one teaspoonful of Mapleine Mapleine can be used anywhere that other flavoring extracts are used.

THE BLOOD-STAINED EOF 0 SEV King; Peter Finds It No Joke to Rule the Fiery Little European Monarchy. HIS PREDECESSORS BUTCHERED. The Crown Prince George Retires and Alexander, a Younger Broth er.

No one nt the time ex pected that he would escape assassina tion or bo permitted to reign for any length of time. In fact It was a long time before the powers accepted him with any cordiality, for It was hard to believe that he was entirely Innocent of at least a previous knowledge of the terrible tragedy which was to shock the civilized world and place a throne at of sterner stuff, even though sh was scarcely a more admirable character. Finally came the tragedy. In the dead of night traitorous statesmen and soldiers broke Into the palace and forced their way to the royal bed cham ber. Then Alexander demonstrated that there was still a spark of manhood left in him. He fought valiantly and gradually retreated to a closet where he was hewn down. The wretched Queen shared his fate. Chopped beyond semblance to human beings, the bodies pf the King and Queen were thrown out of the palace window Into the court yard. The Coiiilntf nt Pel it. m.

Queen Draga, had exhausted the pa tience of their subjects. The King, deaf to all the suggestions of common de cency, was wont to spend his time in the most questionable circles of Paris and to keep himself almost constantly In a condition of besotted drunkenness. Over and over again he would have re signed In compliance with the wishes of kls subjects, but hi Queen was made several years. He has had as a following a large number of the younger and more erratic of these fiery jioople and has been given to some very silly boast ing. When a few months ago Austria-Hungary gobbled up Bosnia and Herzego vina Servla went mad with Indignation and there sprang Into existence a party who would appeal to arms and declare war against their giant enemy. Peter realized the hopelessness of any such effort, but the crown prince, boastful and braggart, talked loudly in the cafes and Jangled his sword as he walked or rode about the streets of the capital, i iie maae a visit to Russia and expected to meet with every encouragement there, but the Czar advised the young man to go about his business and do less talking. ueorge returned to Servla and sulked in his tent. His father threatened him with arrest unless he abandoned his warlike attitude, but there was still a large element which drilled and strut ted and talked of wiping Austria off the map if George would only lend them to the fray. Peter tried In every way to induce the powers to Inter Corn ami i)i..il tm. trla either to restore the two provinces to their former state or to remunerate Servla for the loss of Serb nrostiire. But, while the nations grumbled at the high-handed act of Austria-Hungary, the dual kingdom was adamant Fran cis Joseph knew he had his people sol- laiy behind him. He was prepared for an appeal to arms. IT rptii7i timt- ! Germanv stood ronriv tn eMo n-ith hin, and to frustrate any effort Great Brit ain might make in favor of the Serbs. Russia, to the surprise and Indignation of the Servians, Instead of proving their champion, consented to the pol icy of Austria with scarcely a murmur. King Peter realized that war would mean the effacing of his little kingdom and has used his influence to keep his angry subjects in check. By the col lective action of the powers nt Belgrade the annexation of Bosnia and Herze govina became a closed Incident. Recently the Servian atmosphere was somewhat clarified by the act of Prince George in renouncing his claim to the throne. The Servian Parliament hesi tated o act, but King Peter readily accepted the boy's retirement and named his second son. Prince Alexan der, as the heir to the throne. Alex ander Is a more conservative youth than George and the welfare of Servla would oe sarer uniier lilm than it would be under the former crown prince, though he Is by no means an ideal prospective ruier. Of all the crops produced upon the farm perhaps no other offers so many attractions and advantages to the farmer as does alfalfa. As an im prover of the soil it has few equals and no superiors As forage for all classes of live Btock, whether used as hay, green feed, or pasture, it is unexcelled in yield, feed value, palatability, and permanency of growth. To the farmer keeping cows, hogs, or poultry, it is of paramount value in that it is practi cally the only forage crop that will supply green feed continuously through the dry summer months of this region In addition to these advantages it is superior to all other crops in quickly improving and maintaining the appear ance and selling value of farm lands. Lack of understanding of the peculiar ities of the plant and its requirements, has caused many failures of first at tempts at growing the crop in We3tern Oregon. This has led farmers to be lieve that alfalfa is not naturally adapted to this region While this to a certain extent is true, yet the diffi culties in the way may and have been largely overcome. The splendid re sults obtained by the state experi ment station and other growers in dif ferent parts of Western Oregon should convince the most skeptical of the great future of the crop in this state. As authentic and accurately measured yields to illustrate the possibilities of the crop here, those recorded at the experiment station may be cited. The average of all the yields of the station field for the last eight years has been b.i tons of cured hay per acre yearly. or where cut as a soiling crop, 26 3 tons of green feed per acre. This field has the ordinary heavy clay loam soil typical of the Willamette valley, and has received no irrigation, fertilization or special treatment whatever. Any where in Western Oreeon where cer tain primary requirements of the crop are satisfied, the same or better re sults should be obtained. It only be hooves the beginner to secure the best advice obtainable as to methods of growing; start with a small piece; ex periment with it until its requirements are learned; gather experience from his failures and persist until success ful. The reward of such Dersistence is ample. The primary requirements of alfalfa are a deep, well drained, sweet and fertile soil, free from weeds. The lands most nearly meeting these re quirements are on the slopes of the rolling lands of the valley bottoms ; the slopes and tops of the hills sur rounding these valleys, or the deep sandy loam river bottoms well above the water level. The ordinary valley low flat lands are not suitable. mi j p i . ine aeep ieeaing tap roots upon whose length these plants depend for securing plant food and moisture, make soil eight to ten feet in depth imper ative. Although alfalfa prefers sandy loam, yet it has proved equally prosperous on the heavy clay loam soils, a heavy clay subsoil or hardpan delaying but not stopping the root growth. Owing to the need of its roots for air, alfalfa, especially when young and during the growing season, is easily injured by standing water either above or Deiow ground. Root growth stops ac once on striking water-saturated soil, hence the water table should not be less than eight to ten feet below the surface of the ground during the growing season. Overflow from streams in winter when the plant is dormant does not cause much iniurv. even if continued for several weeks. Of even more importance to the al falfa plant than a deep and well- drained soil, are the bacteria which produce the nodules on the roots. through which the plant is enabled to draw upon the free atmospheric nitro gen, enriching the plant and the soil with this most valuable of all the plant food elements. Conditions unfavorable to the activities of these bacteria cause a corresponding lack of prosper ity in the growth of the alfalfa. Like the plant roots, these bacteria require i i .. .. auuiiunnce oi air in tne soil, upon ...u : i a. t i . . vriucu mj ieea, ana aiso a neutral or slightly alkaline medium such as is supplied in limestone soils, in which to work. Unfortunately the lack of lime in Western Oregon soils, in addition to the prolonged wet season and the pre vailing heaviness of the soil, causes long exclusion of the air from the soil and a tendency towards acidity or sour ness which is very favorable to the al falfa bacteria. Hence it is, perhaps, that in a majority of W'estern Oreeon soils these bacteria are not present, and must be supplied by artificial inoc ulation after the harmful acidity has been corrected. This correction is ac complished in naturally well drained soils by application of different forms of lime.

The land plaster also as sists in making potash compounds for which alfalfa has great need, more available, but to avoid loss through leaching should be used only in small amounts. The need of a fertile soil for alfalfa growing, while not generally recogniz ed, is highly important. Though the plant draws its most important food, nitrogen, from the air, yet it is a heavy feeder upon the other plant foods 'of the soil. On naturally unfertile soils. or those ran down by continued wheat or othr improvident farming, it is necessary to supply immediately avail able plant food such as well rotted barn yard manure, to carry the young plants through the first two years until their deep feeding roots are establish ed. Such fertilization as barnvard manure or green manure (like rye or vetch plowed under) is best applied to the crop preceding the alfalfa or by preceding it with clover or vetch. Aside from its plant food and moisture retentive value the humus from such fertilization is of great assistance to the alfalfa bacterial activities. Preparing for alfalfa in the preced ing crop is also important in enabling the prospective grower to clean up the weeds. Weeds, because of their more rapid growth, heavy draughts on available plant food and moisture, and their shading, are higlhly injurious to the young alfalfa. Hence by preced ing alfalfa with a thoroughly cultivat ed crop such as kale, corn, potatoes, or roots, all of which do best heavily manured, the ground is made clean and fertile for the alfalfa. The causes of failure to secure a stand of alfalfa are generally a poorly prepared seed bed, poor seed, or the wrong t me or method of seeding. The causes of the failure of the crop to grow after a good stand has been se cured, are either lack of alfalfa bac teria, the need of lime, pasturing when too young, an impoverished soil, over crowding with weeds, a shallow soil, poor drainage, lack of cultivation, or improper after treatment. A crop properly started and cared for should produce steadily without reseeding for fifty years or more. Owing to the excessive rainfall of winter and the heavy weed growth of early spring, fall sowing of alfalfa has not proved as successful as sprirg sow ing. The ground should be plowed deeply in the fall if possible, manured and replowed early in the spring. Where plowed rather late in the sp'ring, the land should be disced and harrowed before plowing. If the soil is in the least sour, from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of unburned lime erround or in the lump should be applied very early in the spring, or in place of this, from 500 to 1,000 pounds of water slaked lime may be sown about April first. After the spring plowing the ground should be frequently harrowed to get rid of the weeds, conserve the moist ure and bring the seed bed into a uni formly fine state of tolth. The seed should be sown from April 20th to May 1st. Just preceding the sowing the land should be inoculated wit'a the alfalfa bacteria by scattering over the seed bed about 200 pounds per acre of soil taken from the surface foot of an old alfalfa field. This alfalfa soil should be mixed with about 400 pounds of the surface soil of the new field to facilitate its even sowing. To avoid exposing the inoculated soil to the sunshine, which injures it. it should be sown on a cloudy day or towards evening, and immediately har rowed in. If an acre be once successfully inoc ulated, the next year it will furnish a soil supply for inoculating other land, No faith should be placed in inoculat ng the soil through the purchase of inoculated seed, as under ordinary con anions mis metnoa is seldom success ful. Immediately following the inocula tion the seed should be sown at the rate of twenty pounds per acre, care being taken to secure pure seed of good germinating qualities. Germination may readily be tested by placing an average 200 of the seed between moist blotting paper, laid between the faces of two dinner plates and pouring a little water in the lower plate from time to time. The seed may be broadcasted and harrowed in, but a more even and vig orous stand is secured, especially if the surface soil is a little dry, by drill ing one half of the seed at a time, crosswise. The ordinary grain drill may be used with the grass seeder at tachment so connected as to deliver the seed into the grain tubes. Follow ing the seeding the ground should be rolled well and then very lightly har rowed. The seed should always be sown alone, without a nurse crop of any kind. The field should be mowed whenever the weeds begin to shade the alfalfa, or whenever the growth comes to a standstill or begins to turn yellow; or when the new shoots of the second growth begin to appear; or when the plants show one-tenth in bloom. The cutter bar should be set about 5 inches above the ground the first year, and the first cutting, if light, be left upon the ground. It is imperative that the crop should not be pastured the first two years. Every year about April first a dress ing of 100 pounds of land plaster should be applied, and while the ground is still soft, thorough cultiva tion should be given, with the disc harrow set straight and weighted and run crosswise, followed by the common harrow. This cultivation keeps out grass and weeds, splits the alfalfa crowns and thickens the stand; keeps the surface soil mellow and helps con serve the moisture to carry the crop through the dry months. If the soil is poor a top dr. ssing of well rotted ma nure applied in the fall will prove ben eficial. It is well to let the alfalfa go into the winter with a six or eight-inch growth. In Western Oregon the comYndn va riety of alfalfa shculd be used, prefer ably Montana grown. In pasturing alfalfa, to avoid bloat ing, cattle and sheep should not be al lowed to go on the field with an empty stomach or when the plant is wet, and to prevent rooting, hogs should be ringed. Where cut and fed green to cows, there is no danger of bloating. An acre of alfalfa will furnish pas ture for about ten grod sized hogs, or summer green feed for ten cows. I'll re Fiction.
