Alfalfa the Stuff

Alfalfa is the stuff. The handwriting
is on the wall. The man who can sell
beef will have buyers at his door. The
great western ranges have been hurt
perhaps irretrievably-and the condi-
lions of the cattle industry in this coun-
try is such that, unless more forage is
grown, the poor man will be fortunate
if he has meat on the table three times
in the week. In 1890 there were in the
country $50 head to every 1000 inhabi-
tants. In 1900 there were only 375.
There will be no such thing as over
production of beef cattle in the United
States if stuff can be produced to feed
them on. Alfalfa is the stuff Fresno

Ways Of Using Lemons

In addition to the ordinary and we'll
known uses of lemons, the Pacific Ru-
raj Press names dozen others.
Lemon juice removes stains from the
hands.
A dash of lemon in plain water is
an excellent tooth wash. 1t not only
removes tartar, but sweetens the
breath.
Two or three slices of lemon in a cup
of strong tea will cure nervous head
ache.
Lemon juice Outward application
will allay the irritation caused by the
bites of gnats and flies.
No family should be without lemons
Their uses are too many for enumera-
ton.
Lemon and orange peel should be
saved and dried. They are capital
substitute for kindling wood. A hand
full will revive dying fire.
The juice of lemon taken in a glass
of hot water on arising in the morn
ing is an excellent liver corrective, anG
for stout women is better than any
anti-fat medicine ever invented.
Glycerine and lemon juice, equa
parts on a bit of absorbent cotton, is
an excellent thing wherewith to mois
ten the lips of a fever-parched patient
The finest of manicure acids is made
by putting teaspoonful of lemon juice
into a cup of warm water. This re-
moves most stains from the finger:
and nails and loosens the cuticle more
satisfactorily than can be done by the
use of a sharp instrument.
Lemon Juice and salt will remove
rust stains from linen without injur!
to the fabric. Wet the stains with the
mixture and put the article in the sun
two or three applications are some
times necessary. but the remedy neve

Figures on Hay Crops

There is no line of work more init
mately connected with the agricultu-
raj interests of the country than inves-
legations of grasses and forage plants.
Grasses are so common, growing
everywhere in meadows and waste
places, upon hillsides and plains. COW
ering the bare places of the earth with
their myriad hosts of individual plants
that we are apt to forget their vast
significance in the economy of nature
and that they constitute the greatest
of our agricultural resources, and form
the very foundation upon which rests
all our agricultural wealth and pros
perity. According to estimates of the
division of statistics, the hay crop OF
1896 alone amounted to 60,000,000 tons
valued at nearly $4,000 00, 900, exceed
ing by third the total value of the
wheat crop. In addition to this vast
quantity of hay, which would barely
suffice to carry through the year the
100000 mich cows owned by the
United States, enough pasturage, fod-
der and green forage were supplied tC
feed 100000 sheep, 30,000,000 cattle
100000 horses and 100000 mules
A conservative estimate places the to-
tai annual value OF the grass and for
age crops of this country at more than
81 900, 100000
Among the great nations of the
world, ours has been the first to give
official recognition to the Importance
Of these crops by establishing in the
department of agriculture a division OF
agrostology, especially devoted tc
working out grass problems.
During the past year 5000 trial
packages of seeds from the collection
made by the division have been dis
tributed, more than 300 grasses have
been identified for correspondents, and
replies to more than 600 inquirers, rel
ative to the methods Of cultivation
uses and feeding value of grasses, have
been prepared Arthur Henry in

Lemon Shipments

The shipments of lemons from Cali

about 400 by water and $50 in mixed
cars of oranges and lemons, amounting
to 1000 cars, which is about one-fifth of
the lemons used in this country; an in
crease over last year of nearly one
twelfth. This rate of increase will be
greater next year, as new orchards will
begin to bear and old ones will bear
more. In few years it is manifest
that California lemons will supply the

Doctoring the Horse

Not infrequently horse gets "off it's
feed" 1t will be discovered that it's
grain Is untouched and possibly its hay
is merely mussed over and not eaten.
In nearly all such cases the conclusion
is jumped at that the horse is sick.
Then, of course, drugs are the next
thought. The horse needs "toning up
and condition powders or some condi-
mental "stock food" is resorted to,
with a child-like faith that it is good
for the horse, "just what it wants." be-
cause somebody. never before heard Of
and that nothing is known about, has
said so in an advertisement that reads
as if written by a sanity benefactor.
Now, before beginning to dose the
horse with such stuff-stuff you can
know nothing about-try a change of
feed, and it will probably be found that
the horse is not sick at all, save of the
kind of food that it may have been
compelled to eat three times day for
possibly weeks and weeks. Some roots
or other succulent food at such time
will be found excellent; substitute fod-
der corn for hay, and corn or barley
for oats, or vice versa, and give bran
mash occasionally, warm if it will be
more appetizing, and the chances are
that the sickness CD of the horse will
disappear at once.-Farm, Stock and
