MODERN DRAMATIC CHANGES.

or something or other in the rustic reyels.
But worst of all he missed the dear old

ALFALFA AS FODDER.
Its Value as u Stock Fattener on the Ire
Less Plains of the West

Its Value as "a Stock Fattener on the Tree
less Plains of the West.
There are many advantages in grow
ing alfalfa clover or lucern for fodder
and seed in that vast region west of
the ninety fifth meridian, which has an
annual precipitation Of only 10 to 40
inches The soil of these great treeless
plains is of such porous nature that
the surface water is readily absorbed,
and freezing and thawing will not throw
out or heave the long taproots of this
plant as the soils farther east will do.
Nothing Injuries it after it is thoroughly
rooted excepting gophers, which burrow
in the ground and cut off the roots.
Drought, grazing and frequent moving
do il no material damage. 1t should be
sown in the north not later than the LIST
Of May at the rate of at least one-half
bHshel per acre in a very finely pulver-
lied seedbed, evenly spread on the
ground and thoroughly narrowed in and
rolled. The first summer is the most
trying time to the young alfalfa plant,
but when the taproots have become tho
size of the little finger they have reached
depth of at least two feet, which, in
ordinary seasons. they will do the first
year.
Alfalfa grows upright and seldom
lodges like red clover The stem is
smooth and slender and the growth
thick and luxuriant The flowers are
purple and very fragrant the pods spi-
rally twisted, with seed about the size
Of red clover No other known plant
will fatten stock as rapidly as this or
produce as much forage in one season
per acre. 1t can be cut two or three
times for hay and once for seed. Three
TO four tons per acre is common yield,
and it never sells for less than IS per
ton. 1t produces five to ten bushels of
seed per acre, selling for about So per
bushel
Last summer was very dry for Kan
sas, but nay neighbor had a 20 acre pas

! AS TO TIE FLOOD. DOCTORS DIFFER.


Some Think 1t Local to the Euphrates. 9th
ers the Melting of the Ice Age.
Suess, in "Das Antlitz der Erde, !"
and Neumayer, in "Erdesgeschiohte, :"
have attempted to show that the Mo-
sale account of the deluge was copied
with little from an original Assyrian
version, and that it was local flood
which took place in the plains of the
Tigris and Euphrates, not in the valley
of the Jordan. In a recent number Of
Natur Wochenschrift, however, Herr
Richard Hennig tries to prove that a
general flood took place in the ice age
during the quaternary period
Many facts, such as evidences Of gla-
citation and lowering of temperature,
found in the rocks and in sagas and
myths, as we'll as the vast extension of
a great lake in the far west of America,
whose level was 1000 feet above that
of the Salt lake, go to prove that floods
accompanied the retreat of the glaciers.
Countries in warmer latitudes-for ex-
ample, the Sahara-were converted into
seas and swamps or were locally food
ed. Isolated lands kept clear of the in
undation-for instance, Egypt-but we
may remind Herr Hennig that. accord
ing to Herodotus, Egypt was formerly
in great part a marsh.
1t is curious to note, IN connection
with the glacial theory, that an old
Aryan tradition tells of the "Aryans"
having been driven from their original
seat by the country becoming colder and
the winter longer The German flood
saga tells that the floods of the north
came far from their home and were
turned into ice, and the ice stood still,
and the mist which hung over it froze. "

E.perlments IN FattenIng oalves.


Professor F. B. Mumford of the Mich
igan agricultural experiment station
conducted a trial in lamb fattening dur
ing the past winter. From the report of
the experiment the following facts are
obtained: The food was carefully weigh
ed and daily record kept. Care was
taken to feed at regular intervals They
were fed grain and hay at 6:30 each
morning, roots and silage at noon and
grain and hay again at $3.50.
Lots receiving corn in the grain ra-
ton. either in whole or in part, produc-
ed the best gains, We're apparently III
better finish and in general were fed at
a greater profit than the lots receiving
bran or oats.
A grain ration of bran proved to be
an inferior material for fattening lambs
A ration of corn and oats produced
slightly better results than either mix
ture Of corn and bran or of corn, oats
and bran
The results of this experiment indl-
cate that the gains resulting from fat
tening lambs by means of self feed
/ are pIOulCeu ny a Ad1BCl NOhSuiA PNASN
of grain for one pound Of gain than
when fed at intervals in the usual man
ner, and other things being equal the
gains are less profitable.
A mixture of fodder articles composed
largely of a good quality of silage
proved cheap and successful ration for
fattening lambs.
The rate of gain was apparently in
creased by shearing during the fatten-
ing period
In this experiment colder tempera-
lures were quite generally accompanied
by increased gains
The amount of available protein in
the various rations was apparently q
less potent factor in producing gains
than the amount of available carbohy-
drates.
Small gains are not necessarily un-
profitable, nor are large gains sure in
dex of profitable food consumption.

Great complaint is already made
about the loco weed in the west and

the plant 1t starts up green in the
spring before other vegetation, and thus
cattle and horses turned out too early

no active poisonous property i'll it that
chemists have as yet been able to dis
cover 1t is said simply to contain no
nourishment, and animals eating it die

actually go crazy, so that apparently
there must be something in the weed
that affects the brain and nervous sys-
tenn This is rendered all the more GER
tain by the fact that the animal ac-
quires an appetite for the weed, as hui
man beings acquire taste for opium
| or tobacco. After the loco habit is fixed
the animal will eat nothing else volun-
