VIII Race Across Atlantic.

VIII race ACROSS
WASHINGTON, March 3.-The ma
w department has been advised of
the departure from Guantanamo for
Pensacola of the north Atlantic squad
ron, which, having practically termi-
mated the winter in the vi
cinity of Culebra, will engage in target
practice on arrival at Pensacola.
An interesting feature in connection
with the northward movement is the
fact that the battleship squadron is
destined for an early journey to the
Mediterranean without coming north
TO the navy yards. The squadron will
stop first at the Azores. thus making
an endurance test. After arriving in
the Mediterranean it now is the inten-
ton to detach two of the battleships to
supcrscde the cruisers Brooklyn and
San Francisco, now en- route to the
United States.
About the time that the American
squadron makes its flying trip to the
Mediterranean it is learned here that
the British admiralty will send over
its north American squadron. Naval
officers are interested in the outcome,
as it is believed that both s%quadrons

ALFALFA FOR THE HOGS.
Good for Building Up the Frame Of
Animals, But Should Be Fed
with Discretion.

There is no doubt that alfalfa is ono
of the best foods that can be raised
for hogs. The cattle man has come to
appreciate the value of alfalfa. and
wherever he has been able to raise all
falfa he has done so. He has recog-
nlzed 1t as cheap source Of protein,
The hog raiser on the other hand is COM
ing to realize only slowly that the hog
needs protein at all. He has come to
think OF the hog as an ANNA that needs
a food that will make fat, ard, as a re-
suit, we see little alfalfa growing on
the farm of the man that makes hog
raising one of the principal features of
his agriculture
Alfalfa can be fed in the same way
as clover is fed, with tne exception
that it is not so readily pastured. Al
falfa may be pastured so close that it
will only slowly revive from such treat
ment, while clover can be pastured close
and still come up quickly. But alfalfa
is good green food and is good when
dry. ii it is cut up and mixed with soft
food or steamed.
IL mas Oeen charged that too much
alfalfa makes soft pork. but this is
the case only when the hogs are not
properly finished on grain No one be-
lieves that feed like alfalfa should be
fed almost exclusively 1t is sood thing

TAR IN POULTRY HOUSES
It Is Very Valuable in Many Ways,
But More Especially as YER
min Exterminator.

Poultry breeders seem to have failed
to discover the value of tar. It is
very useful and valuable in many ways.
Some breeders tar their poultry yard
fences in preference to whitewashing
them, says the Poultry World, though
we do not like to see it done, for it gives
the surroundings such a gloomy, for
tributes largely to the durability of the
wood. protecting it from the ravages
of storm and time. 1t is in the poultry
house. however, that the value of tar
is the greatest. for it conduces greatly
toward healthfulness. When that
sc1urge of the poultryman. cholera,
makes its appearance. We would advise
first, thorough cleaning of the house;
next. generous application of Carolina
tar on all the joints, cracks and crevices
of the inside of the building. and then
plenty of fresh whitewash properly ap-
piled. The tar absorbs or drives away
the faint of disease, and makes the
premises wholesome The smell is not
offensive; in fact, many people like it,
and it is directly opposite to unhealthy

is very repulsive. and but few will re-

with chicken cholera. and by adopting
the above in connection with removing
affected fowls. he soon put a stop to
the ravages. A small lump of tar in the
drinking water supplied to the fowl will
be found beneic provided it is the
Carolina tar. which is very different
from other kinds.

mere Is no reason why farmers
should not handle their bees along
profitable lines, even il they have but a
few colonies. Bees, as i-ept on the farm

oVerstoched as they are frequently in
large apiaries. Almost double the
amount OF honey can be obtained from
colony thus situated, and bee-keep-
