-North Puote Neb., March 13,' 95.
Ed. Tribune. .
Deab Srn: Since the board of di
rectors" of theT. M.C. A. have chosen
me as secretary for an indefinite time, I
desire to say a few words to the public
through your columns.
1st. What should be the attitude of
a business man toward the associatio n?
Fifty years ago tho 6th day of last June
the Young Men'a.Christian Association
was founded. The world might possibly
call this simply a coincident but to the
christian it is'very different. The,
founder of this ihstitution, George Wil-
iams, a clerk in?:one of the large mer-
cantil houses, ccljoadon gathered a few
of bis coinpt
ijec
and in
friendly -association together, builded
much better than he knew, for, as a re
sult of that humblb beginning we have
the Young Men's -Christian Association
of to-day. It is doubtful if christian
society would have tolerated the associa
tion if it had been launched upon the
world at that time with all its modern
equipments, sucb as basket ball, bowling
alley, punching bag, bicycle and base
ball clubs, yet it is gratifying to know
that all these agencies have been mighty
instruments in bring young men to the
Jesus Christ.
The association is keeping pace with
tho times and in many cases it leads the
times.
There is nothing attempting to do the
same kiud and range of work, and there
is nothing more calculated to make
manly young men. It has broadened
the views of christians and is bringing
all classes closer together and offers
ample fields where all may -consistently
work, and more, it lays on every com
munity a responsibility which cannot be
set aside, and as Johti Wanamaker says:
"No community' has done its duty until
it has a place in' its tnidst where young
men can enjoy improving and elevating
surroundings, and which counteracts the
haunts of vice which are ever bidding
for their patronage and making them
heartily welcome as long as they have
money to spond or influence to bring
others who have, after their own wealth
is gone." What is more natural than for
them to be drawn to such places com
paring the cold and uninviting rooms
where they often live with the warmth
and brightness of such places of sin?
The association rooms are also for the
business man in whom dwelleth the love
for man. He ought to be a visitor there
even if they are not so attractive as his
owu home, in order tbat he may know
who is there and who is not. They afford
an excellent opportunity for judging the
habits and inclinations of young men,
your own sons, your own employes, and
if they are there, what their tastes are,
how they spend their leisure time when
different. ways are open to them. If
they are not there, why hot? Their ab
sence needs looking into. .
They are either' In some better or
worse place- If the former, you should
know it, and'itrwill-be vlry gratifying to
you. If the latter it cannot'be unearthed
too soon for your good and for that of
the young man.
Business men, financial men, profes
sional, is there any comparison between
the foregoing practice and that of forti
fying property interests behind an in
strument that chains a man up as if be
was a being that could not be trusted?
The tendency of to-day is the deplor
able one ot making men into machines,
and the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion can and ought to be used in a large
measure to set the current in the other
way and make men out of men.
Does it pay? -

When and How to Sow Alfalfa
Del phis Vincent, of St. Edwards,N"eb
thus gives his experience in the Ne
braska Farmer, upon the subject of most
vital interest to Lincoln county farmers.
"in answer to inquiry oy your paper
last week about sowing alfalfa seed in
the spring on winter wheat or on rye
helds I would say that it is not ndvisa
ble. I have sown- twice in the oast ten
&
years. It has nover been succeesfu
with growing crops in my locality, but
in the spring of 1892 I put in twenty-five
acres again on rye field. Later in the
season my experimenting was success
ful. If a farmer has not a trood stand of
winter wheat and wishes to put in alfalfa
I should use a disc harrow both ways
before sowing it, and then sow the seed
broadcast and harrow twice. The best
time to do this work is the first week of
May, allowing the green stuff to lie
where it falls. In this way vou would
prevent the fine dust from blowing
away and give the plant a chance to take
root. The fall plowing makes a fine
seed bed and the ground is in fine shape
but it is not advisable to sow on fall
plowing where there are severe .wind
storms, such as we very often have in
early spring when there will be clouds
of dust on fall plowing. Much of the
seed will be blown away before it has a
chance to take roots. Our best alfalfa
fields are on rolling land. We have
some growing wnere our nrst water
vein is from ninety to 200 feet beiow the
surface. It has been growing there for
the last eight 'years and is just as good
to-day as the year after sowing. This is
my experience here in Boone county.
In some localities, on low land, where
there is plenty of moisture, and where
irrigation is practiced, it will do twice
as well. I sow all my alfalfa alone now,
as the nature of alfalfa demands light
and sunshine. Now, my friend, in read
ing this you might say we had too
much sunshine last- year, 1894, but I had
sown ninety-live acres in the spring. It-
did wonderfully well for the season un
til the hot winds came. It then with
ered down and it was doubtful for a
long time whether it would come up or
not until we bad the fall ram. Then it
grew up to eight inches and its roots
were twenty-two inches deep in the
ground. If we have any rain this spring,
it will be successful for last year's sow
ing. I am going to sow fifty acres more
this spring. We have a 318-acre alfalfa
field besides that ninety-five acres, but
the hot winds and the panic did not
wither the old alfalfa field. It was as
fresh and green as in the spring, only it
was short. We cut one and a half tons
per acre in the season, and I threshed
out fifty acres which gave 197 bushels
first quality of seed. In good seasons
we cut five tons per acre on the same
ground. I must remind you this is not
grown on irrigated lanu. it n were, it
would be as good again. I hope this does
not tiro you. I must stop. There has
been a ereat deal said about this excel
lent forage plant for the last two years.
Of course there is a variety of opinion
as to its culture. But there is enough
in it to call for thorough and good atten
tion. The farmer must determine
which pays the best for growing it by
his own experiment.
The ladies are having a hard time of it
in the Colorado legislature. According
to the dispatches they were "blushing
furiously" through nearly the whole
session b riday, and one of them pro
tested with a very red face that "the
language used by the men was an insult
to the women of Colorado." If the men
purposely turned the debate in a way to
be offensive to the women on tho floor,
they deserve the severest condemnation.
But ladies will lose their case if they
blush and protest when the debate be
comes too pointed for their comfort.
Unless they are able to steel themselves
against these annoyances and take part
in the proceedings with cold-eyed can
dor, it would be much better for them
to remain away from the sessions of the
Colorado legislature.
The majority of the retiring members
of the late congress protest that they are
poorer to-day than when they took their
seats in that remarkable and odorous
body. So say we all of us. There are
mighty few men in this country that are
not poorer either in property or wages
than they were in November, 1892. And
they generally believe that it was the
servile insurrection of the Fifty-third
congress against the republic that made
them poorer. Journal,

The democrats may be right who are
saying that the body which has just
6teppeddown was not a billion-dollar
congress hi appropriations, but it cost
the country several billions in the losses
to business which it caused. In that
respect.it was the most destructive con
gress which the country ever had.
The department of agriculture reports
a loss to farmers of $192,000,000 in the
value of their horses during 1891. Dur
ing that same year we imported foreign
horses worth more than $1,000,000, Of
course, this is a trifling amount in com
parison with the destruction to our home
market, wrought by the free-traders,
but the sale even for 81,000,000 worth of
horses at home would be a consolation
to farmers in these days.
The Illinois legislature has decided to
float the national flag from the dome of
the state house every day in the year.
The Hags will cost between two and
three thousand dollars annually, as a
stiff breeze will tear the bunting to rib
bons in a very few days. It will require,
besides, the exclusive attention of one
man to see that the flags are flying regu
lar and kept in good order. It h rather
meanly intimated by the opponents of
this movement that the resolution was
passed at the instigation of the nag
trust, which hopes to make a mint of
money out of the patriotic desire of the
people to see the stars and stripes float
ing from every school house and public
building in the country.
Why Was It
that Ayer's SaraapariUa, oat of the great
number of similar preparations manufac
tured throughout the world, was the only
medicine of the kind admitted at the
World's Fair, Chicago? And why was it
that, in pite of the united efforts of the
maaufssCurers of other preparations, the
decision of the World's Fair Directors was
Botreversed?
BECAUSE
According to Kcle 15 "Articles
that axe in any way dangerous or
oifensira, also patent medicines,
aostrnms, and empirical prepara
tions, whose ingredients are con
cealed, will not be admitted to the
ZxpositioB," and, therefore
Beeaute Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a
patent medicine, not a nostrum, and not
a secret preparation.
JSectmue Its proprietors had nothing to
conceal when questioned as to the for
mula Trom which it is compounded,
caui it is all that it is claimed to be
a Compound Concentrated Extract of

Charles H. Robinson, pension agent at
Des Moines for the district of Iowa and
Kebraska, has received official notifica
tion from Washington to the effect that
all pensioners receiving less than 86 per
month shall hereafter receive that
amount. There are 3,300 pensioners in
this district who come under the new
law, and the disbursements of the office
there will be increased more than $11,000
per annum. There are 2,600 pensioners
who receive U per month and 600 who
get 82. The remainder of the 3,300 re
ceive above those rates. The pensioners
affected need not be re-rated. Atrant
