Alfalfa a Medicine.

With every seasons new additions
to the growers of alfalfa comes new
accounts of the marvellous values of
the plant Here is a contribution to
alfalfa lore from w. S. McAuley of
Americas, Lyon county, Kan:
"A few years ago, said he farmers
were almost afraid to raise hogs on
account of the prevalence of cholera.
Once that disease got a start in a herd
it generally succeeded in practically
destroying it. Not only the aged stock,
but the pigs rs we'll were affected Hog
cholera remedies were sometimes used
to good advantage. then again they
proved to be ineffectural in stopping
the ravages of the plague. Since the
farmers have taken to growing alfalfa
extensively as a field forage plant for
hogs, however, the situation is changed.
Now hog cholera in our part of the state
is rare and loss of swine by disease has
been reduced by more than so per cent.
Farmers everywhere attribute the
shange to the wonderful plant, alfalfa,
and l sincerely believe that Is what
worked the Transformation.
THE difference in the health of hogs
that have been pastured on alfalfa and
those that have been kept in feed lots
and fed grain and dry feeds, is pro-
nounced, and particularly so with re-
gard to young pigs. Stockings that have
alfalfa-fed mothers are far more rug
ged and healthy than are those that
trace their ancestral dam to the pig
sty. Sows that forage on alfalfa raise
lusty, hearty pigs that seldom fall
victims to cholera, while mothers that
are kept on other feeds and not per-
mitted the freedom of the alfalfa fields,
are generally inclined to be sickly
Kansas has made great, strides in
growing alfalfa the last two or three
years, and / think you will find those
sections of the state that raise the
greatest quantities of the plant are
turning out the cleanest hogs and COM
plain less of the prevalence of cholera"

the baas in charge is anxious for the
boys to be all at work. But 'Ntwalo
neither realizes nor shares this solicit
tude, regarding the great man without
the least awe-as one out of a. bean
OF small white potatoes. Just as the
august official draws up 'Ntwalo leaves
his work, sits down upon a rock, and.
puIllng out plug of tobacco, proceeds
to cut and manipulate the same with
great satisfaction and gravity. At the
expiration of some five minute the pipe
is carefully filled. Next it has to be
lighted. A match is produced, but the
smoker is aware of the presence of a
southeaster; SO he crawls behind his
rock, takes off his shirt, which he puts
over his head, and behind and beneath
his screen leisureIy accomplishes his
purpose, finishing with a gentle stop
pering with his finger. Then, standing
proudly erect and glancing at the en-
gineer, he gives a wide smile of salts
faction, as who should say, THAT bit
of work is all right now; now for a
little gentle stone rolling, narrowing,
spadlng or anything else that has to be

They have arrived at the place of
work, and have been duly booked Last
to arrive is Koko, the interpreter, who
does not work; a tall, handsome young
man, very erect and stately with small
hands and feet and a brown skin. He
is grave and silent, and very courteous
withal. The boys grin and laugh, and,
raising the right hand in salute, vo-

who speaks Dutch fluently, together
with good grammatical English, grave
ly says, Good morning, sir" The boys
continue to laugh, chatter and lark, but
koko preserves an impaSsiVe demeanor
sitting for hours silently upon d stone,
putting at his pipe. He is a Christian
in every sense of the word; honest.
honorable and true, ever mindful of his
duty, and a treasure to the white man
who bosses up" the Kaffirs. But
though brought up at Lovedale, he
wears native charms around his neck
beneath his shirt. AS he naively says,
'Oh, no, of course they can do no good;
but. you see, they will do no harm"
Zazini, the chief, does no work. Moth
ing would induce him to soil his hands
with the indignity of manual labor. He
is paid extra to keep his tribe in order,
and sits all day in a wheelbarrow
smoking, with an umbrella over his
head and couple of attendants be-
hind him.
