Australian Alfalfa-Eed StOOn.
IN A7otralia the great value Of lu-
cerne to the pastoralist consists Il
grazing stock on it, says a writer IN
Australasian. The employment Of many
hands in farming operations, such AZ
conserving lucerne In the form Of hay
or ensilage, is dreaded by all flock and
herd owners. Nevertheless I am a
firm believer in the conservation OF
fodder in both forms, so that the stock
may be helped over bad season. BY
the aid Of modern agricultural ma
chinery hay-making is easily and
cheaply performed, and the labor and
cost are still less when ensilage Is
made. Many stock-owners are of opir-
ion that lucerne is better for making
fairly good sheep and cattle prime
than for fattening stores from the first.
In both cases the stock would prob
ably do better II they had grass pad
dock with the lucerne. All stock like
a change Of food, and will do better
with change than with a single ar
ticle Of food, no matter how nutritious
1t may be. While on Mr.. ]. S. Hors-
falls estate of Widgiewa met with
good illustration of the value Of lu-
cerne on q pastoral property. The
manager (Mr. Morrison) weans the
stud lambs at a very early age, and
when taken from their dams they are
put on q lucerne. The result Is that
the lambs never sustain the slightest
check, and the ewes. relieved from the

Feeding Dry Cows.

1t is now pretty we'll established,
says a writer, that it pays as well to
feed cows grain pretty literally when
dry as well as when giving milk I'M
less the pasture be especially good,
says Kansas Farmer. This is a fact
that many dairymen lose sight of and
suffer for the neglect. A cow that is
profitable in the dairy is not a flesh
former by any means. In fact, she
becomes quite poor as a usual thing
while milking, and in order to enable
her to stand the strain of this deple-
ton she should be made to gain rap
idly in flesh during that period that
she is dry. This does not mean that
she should be fed highly on milk-pro-
ducing food just before calving, but It
means that after going dry she should
have liberal feeding until say a week
before calving. II arg fear is enter
tanned Of her being too fat at calvinx
time a good sharp purgative just be-
fore o. after ca!ving will obviate any
trouble along that line.

was also found that the desire of COW
for water was about an hour after eat
ing, but the evening thirst was never SO
great as in the morning. With some
of the cows there was some variation
in the quantity of water consumed
daily, but with others 1t was as steady
in quantity as standard measure. In
this there might be some variation In
results from some other herd not so
cared for; these cows being continuous
ly stabbed at the time Of the expert
ment, while herd that ran outdoors
more or less might show different re-
suits. In another thing I was con-
WINGED. that a cow did better that
drank several times day, and SO con-
WINGED was l of this, that watering
system for the COW stables was put in
several years ago: and my opinion Of
their value has never changed, more
than a more thorough belief in their
promoting the milk flow: and if our
cows were to be turned out every day
for exercise, l should not connect out
door drinking with it, but hold to the
manger water basin. In this connec-
ton there is another point I think of
importance. and that is in stable water
ing there is uniformity of the temporal
ture Of the water. and the COW, being
habituated to drinking water at say
81 degrees day after day-as the water
in my big stable tank indicates-is rot
subjected to the extreme temperature
ranges of outdoor drinking water, and
air included, and she must do the bet
ter for this uniformity, with the shocKs

period OF low prices. Our next predica-
ment, if all signs do not fail, will be a
great scarcity of horses. We base this
opinion upon the fact that everybody
IS selling and that very few are breed
ing. We do not believe there are more
than 10 per cent of the horses being
bred in the United States to-day that
there were six years ago. This can
not possibly help but produce a great
shortage, and this shortage in supply
can have but one effect-namely. to in

the time can not be abridged by any
possible means, and as the breeding be-

TOUR years ago, the shortage is bound
to begin to manifest itself inside of the
next two years. The produce of mares

Mamie was a beautiful black colt
Agatha knew how proud her husband
was of the intelligent animals beauty

clare that money could not buy her.
And Hardness was noted for his cruelty,
the last person into whose hands Eu-
gene would be willing to place Mamie.
Then that mention of the lumber

The matter was not referred to again.
But there was a cloud between husband
and wife-the first since their wedding
day.
The third day after the scene at the
breakfast table, Mrs. Ferris, called and
asked Agatha to accompany her to O
meeting Of the sewing society. The
young wife eagerly accepted the invita-
ton. It would enable her to forget, for
n little time, at least.
Agatha went rapidly about her toilet.
Her guest was seated In the dining
room, and by leaving the door open
conversation could be carried on dur
ing the hair brushing and dress chang
Ing.
"Where are you going to spend
Thanksgiving?" Mrs. Ferris asked,
while she studied the arrangement OF
the violet-strewn silkolene drape on the
shelf near her, secretly wondering II
she could not initiate II.

with hard, little laugh. "There Is to be

"Why, Mrs. Clair! l supposed that
you were thankful that you and MIR.
Clair were still living in the borderlund
Of bliss that lovers imagine will last"
There was moments silence.
Agatha was busy fastening the collar
OF her pretty green serge. Outside the
window, opened to admit the crisp au-
tumnal air, a white-faced man leaned
against the house, the golden straw
with which he had been covering the
pansy bed blowing UNDECIDED about his
feet.

Ten minutes later Eugene Clair came
forward to put his wife and Mrs. Ferris
irto the waiting carriage. lie replied
courteously to the question of his
neighbor, and as they we're starting,
sud:
"Good.by, Agatha"
But Agatha was too busy covering her
dress with the robe TO do more than
nod in reply.
The sun, red and angry.looking. was
just disappearing behind the forest
crowned hills west OF Agatha's home
when Mrs. Ferris left her at the gate.
The wind walled loudly around the
house, and the young wife shlvered us
she hurried up the path.

said to herself. "He always remembers

For once he had not remembered.
The house was empty and cold. On the
table lay q letter addressed: agatha"

ried 1t to the window and, by the dim
light, read:
