The Use Of Farm Grown Foodstuffs
Instead Of Purchased Feeds.

ulSkCou VI uGGiIdSGu TtEuS.
The principal line of work out
lined by the writer some years
ago for the dairy herd maintained
by the Alabama Experiment Sta
ton was an investigation of the
extent to which farm grown foods
may take the place of the foods
for which the dairyman ordinary
expends considerable sums of
cash. During the first two Win
ters the specific problem before
us was TO ascertain which was
the more economical and profit
able, ration made up chiefly of
the ordinary purchased material,
namely cotton seed mealand hulls
or one consisting chiefly of cotton
seed and sorghum hay. The re.
suits during both Winters were
decidedly in favor of the home
grown materials as the cheaper
ration. The results of the ex-
periments just alluded to were
published in Alabama Station
Bulletin No. ia, which can still
be supplied to applicants.
\ Last Winter we took up another
subdivision of the same general
investigation and endeavored to
learn whether wheat bran, which
at that time was very high and
which is still higher than usual,
could not be economically dis
placed by some food of somewhat
similar composition that could be
grown on the farm. Among the
home grown foods that cores
pond closelp in composition with
wheat bran are the hays from
cowpeas ,vetoh., alfalfa, crimson
clover. Japan clover and soy
beans. At the time of beginning
the test cowpea hay of suita BILE
quality was not on hand in large
amounts, our supplies of crimson
and Japan clover were pre-empt-
ed as food for very young calves,
and we had only small amounts
of alfalfa and soy bean hay.
Hence it was decided to begin
this series of experiments in sub
stituting home grown hay of
leguminous plants for wheat bran
hay by using hairy vctch hay.
Two sets of cows we're employ
ed and the rations fed to each
were the same except that to one
lot considerable quantities OF
wheat bran were fed while 10 the
other was offered an equal weig ht
of vetch hay. The financial re-
suits were decidedly in favor of
tha vetch for this cost less than
one.half cent per pound whereas
wheat bran was then selling at
one and one-third cents per
pound. 1t is planned to continue
the same general line of work this
Winter, comparing some other
leguminous hay proba bly, that of
cowpea, with wheat bran.
1t is gratifying to learn that
our judgment as to the supreme
importance of this line of feeding
work is confirmed by other sta
tions. The New Jersey station
is at work along the same general
line and the very interesting re-
suits there obtained have just
been published in Bulletin No
161 of that station. That bul.
letin, or an abstract of it's con-
tents, ought to be in the hands
of every man interested in live
stock or in the forage crops
which live stock consume. Es.
pecially should those who are
now becoming interested in alfal.
ia note carefully the very favor.

the rent and shattered walls Of the old
fortress, never since repaired, bear
ample testimony today. Certainly
there was bravery enough shown by
the besiegers to have won a hundred
battles; but mismanagement on the
part Of the leaders and treachery on
the part of the guides brought the at
tack to a fatal conclusion for
troops. The latter. with the same ar.
dent heroism that characterized their
descendants at San Juan Hill, threw
themselves upon the most inaccessible
part Of the fortress, brought thither by
their faithless guides. But Yankee en-
r and bravery was %unavailing be-
fore the terrible odds that confronted
them. AS originally planned, the at
tack was to have been a nocturnal one.
Under no shield save that Of darkness
could the precipitous walls of the fort
ress be carried. But by the time the
men reached the foot Of San Felipe the
full glory Of a tropical sun burst upon
them and, to add the last touch to
their bad fortune, 1t was found that
their scaling ladders were too short
The Americans stood their ground IN

non and musket telling on them, foI
several hours. and did not retreat un-
til 600 lay dead or wounded at the foot
Of the walls.
This disaster at San Felipe virtually
broke the backbone Of the Vernon ex-
petition. To the defeat of the Ameri.
can colonists in the siege Of the fort
ress was quickly added the scourge Of
fever. In less than two days more thar
half the army was stricken with thil
terror Of the tropics. Thus crippled
and vanquished, the feet returned tC

ally sailed ia all the glory Of an as.
sured conquest. only 1000 survived e
reach their homes.
The fact that a half brother of Gen
George Washington participated ia the
assault lends additional interest there
to. It was the cause OF the untimeh
death OF Lawrence Washington. Aftel
his return home he eve recovered
from the effects Of the fever with
which he suffered while with Vernon
and in 1852 died at the age OF "a. Be
tween him and George Washington

Heads we're turned toward the red

A thrilling event In early American
history, which IS not generally known,
has been recalled by the present dis
turbance in Colombia and the possi-
bility that a military force from this
country will be ordered there. It Oc-
Cured at Cartagena and the majestic
ruin Of San Felipe, which rises with
its chartered turrets and bastions high
above the walls Of the picturesque city
which adioins, is ali that is left Of a
fortress which cost Spain 81, 200, 900
$50 years ago. At that time Colombia
did not exist, but the territory which
Il now embraces was a part of ths
Spanish possession in the new world.
SPANS great riches excited the envy
and cupidity of England, the latter
seeing a field for colonial expansion in
South America and, with that region
conquered, a union Of North and South
America to be possible.
In 1889 Great Britain declared war
on Spain. simultaneously Admiral
Vernon crossed the Atlantic with a
feet Of six vessels and captured the
small town OF Porto Bello, on the 18TH
mus Of Panama. The following winter
he was Joined by a fleet Of 100 vessels,
carrying 5000 sailors and 10000 land
troops. At Jamaica this force was
Joined by $500 colonial troops, from
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Connec-
ticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina, the Virginians being led by
Capt. Lawrence Washington, half
brother OF George. Cartagena was Sc
lected as the point Of a concentrated
attack. The fortress Of Boca Chica, at
the entrance to the harbor. was speed
lily taken. Once inside the harbor
there was a delay Of three days before
any move was made, but it was finally
determined to lead a night attack on
