when the greatest factor in determing
the value OF a farm will be its adapta-
bility for growing alfalfa. Under no con-
ditions nor with any combination of feeds,
where alfalfa is not included. can the
animal products of the farm be produced
at the minimum cost. be they beef, pork.
wool. mutton, or dairy products. The al
falfa crop Of the past summer sold as hay
in the winter market at a cash value Of
so to $40 per acre. Where properly utiliz-
ed, IL has returned greater value than
the above when fed on the farm. For in
stance, q daily feed Of Is pounds per head
with grain to fattening steers has saved
one-fourth to one-third OF the 60 cent
corn, and where fed to young, growing
stock. the showing is still more favorable.
Alfalfa as a soil improver stands at the
heard of the list. Due to its extraordinar-
lily deep growing roots, it obtains its min
eral food below where most plants feed.
Like other legumes. it takes free nitrogen
from the air by the aid of little organisms
attached TO the roots. Because Of these
two facts alfalfa may be grown many
years on the same land with the surface
soil becoming richer all the time.

1t is only short distance from CebU
and we arrived there the next morning,

of Carmon. which is situated in the
mountains, where the insurrectcs have
their stronghold. We have been hiking
every day in the hills and plains. but
cannot find scrap, excepting as we
have surprised the enemy in several
villages and shot some Of them; none of
our men having been hurt. A couple OF
days ago we started on a three days
march. but when about five miles out,
we found the intrenchments of the en-
emy on a hin. in which were located a
couple of bamboo houses. The advance
guard had passed through, but when the
officers. Lieutenants Smith, Fetters and
RVeathers and an Associated Press CORE
spondent entered one of the houses, stop
ping in the middle of the floor. the floor
o5ened in the middle and all Of them
went down about eight feet on two bam-
boo spears, the officers being slightly
injured.
we have been hiking every day until
about ten days ago. when the insurrectos
were given ten days in which TO sur
render, which time has been extended
10 fifteen days more, which means that
they will soon surrender as they did at
Cebu. at which time we expect to re-
turn to Cebu City. Carmon is composed
of a church and convent. in which we
are quartered.
