NEW USES FOR ALFALFA.

1t is not generally known but alfalfa
makes good greens when cooked nicely
with fat pork.
1t makes neat garnish for rare
beefsteak and if culled when in bloom
modifies the odor to juicy richness
impossible to describe.
1t takes the place of lettuce and is
in many servings far ahead of the
same. Served with olive oil, salad
dressing, salt, pepper, vinegar, little
sugar and sweet cream, the most fas-
tidious could not tell it from prime
lettuce.
When pressed in a hydraulic press
ten tons to the square inch, favored
with licorice, dashed literally with
valerian and real strong tobacco tea it
makes good old-fashioned navy plug.
Shredded and treated the same way
except as to pressure 1t is nice arti-
Gle of fine cut.
Porto Rico cigars are often made of
alfalfa wrapped in Connecticut leaf.
And they are better than ordinary
stogies.
A real hungry man can make a meal
off alfalfa, salt, pepper and water any
time, then sleep sweetly on the table,
his nostrils filling with Loney the
me- lntime.
Hung in the center of the parlor or
living room, blooms down, it is u sDlen-
did roosting place for flies In fact
in the dark flies will leave bald human
heads for nice fresh bunch of alfalfa.
If disguised just little and the
cooks conscience is not too acute, it
can be laid on nicely buttered hCt
toast so as to make the most fastidi-
Gus doubtful as to whether they are
eating asparagus or other weeds.
Mixed generously in big boquets of
daisies and other foolish smelling
flowers 1t mitigates and often Obliter-
etes both sight and odor of the other
flowers you must profess to love and
appreciate
Some people say that when properly
dried, heads down, it makes good sage
dressing for the turkey; n. b.-use
sparingly.
With sugar, ice, mineral water and
other things it does very well In place
of peppermint after u midnight.
Stock will eat it after the prairie
and other rough feeds are exhausted.
1t sometimes sells for big prices and
as a last resort after the kitchen and
parlor are supplied. after the old mans
tobacco box is filed and his julip needs
looking after, the punishment cellar
loaded, it can be sold to people who
think horses like It without any tix-up.
