Lucern, or alfalfa, is not largely
grown in New York state. Most farmers
believe that red clover is, on the whole,
better suited to their needs We often
find farmers here and there who grow
alfalfa successfully. Some years ago the
New Jersey experiment station conduct
ed some useful experiments with alfal-
ia, but since crimson clover has become
popular alfalfa is not reported SO much.

Saward's Coal Trade Journal, speaking of
the Anthracite coal trade says: The market
at the Eastward is dull, and no one expects
any stir in the trade until at least another
six weeks shall have passed away, the dealers
seem to have all the hard coal they can find
room for The soft coal market remains
quiet, with no particular change in the situa-
ton. The shutting down Of so many of the
large mills, in addition to previous curtail-
ments in manufacturing industries, is going
to have its effect on the soft coal trade.
Thousands of tons less coal will be used than
usual in consequence. Frcights are unusu-
ally low and those buyers who are hesitating
had better make their purchases pretty soon,
for coal will be no lower and freights Ger.
tainly will be higher. The story from the
Northwest is but a repetition of the past few
weeks; the market is awaiting one on An.
thracite and no one cares whether the supply
is great OF small, but holders are firm on the
matter of price, so that they will reap the re-
ward thereof hereafter, if there is any trade
done this year.

and eight and a half pounds l could not
recommend your lactated food too highly,
and hope that other mothers will be helped as
l have been with your lactated food, which l
know they will, if they use the food"
Mothers are often brought to the verge of
despair during hot weather because baby re-
fuses to take food or throws it up. One of
the marked superiorities of lactated food over
other infant foods is repeatedly spoken of in
letters of mothers from all over the country :
Lactated food is taken eagerly, more often
greedily, by babies who are deprived of their
mothers milk, and in hosts of instances it
is evidently preferred by them to breast milk
when the latter has become thin and poor
either from long nursing or hot weather.
Cholera infantum, that is now raging, is
best prevented by lactated food. This dread
disease is due more to faulty feeding than to
heat.
Lactated food is used in all the large homes
for children throughout the United States,
and in families that possess every means for
securing the best for their children and yet
it is easily within the reach of the most
modest household in the land.
