Alfalfa as Cow Feed.

It has often been said that from a
chemical standpoint alfalfa is an ideal
ration for milk cows but this is not a
fact. A COW weighing 1000 pounds and
giving her full capacity of milk should
receive twenty-nine pounds of dry
matter, 21s pounds Of digestible pre-
tein, thirteen pounds Of digestible
carbohydrates and one-half pound of
ether extract daily. If COW should
receive thirty pounds of alfalfa day
with no other feed she would not get
enough dry matter by ~ pounds.
She would receive thirty-two per cent
too much digestible protein and not
enough carbohydrates or fat. Theo-
retically speaking, in feeding alfalfa
to dairy cows it should be fed in COM
bination with some crop which will
supply the nutrients in which alfalfa
is deficient, such as corn fodder. AL
falfa and corn fed in combination re-
suits in greater efficiency in that 1t
requires less dry matter to produce
one pound of butter fat or 100 pounds
Of milk. The nutritive ratio Of al
falfa, that is the proportion of protein
or albuminoids to carbohydrates and
fat is undoubtedly too narrow for best
results. Corn and other crops supple
mentary to alfalfa must find an i'm
portant place in farm practice in the
irrigated west.-Denver Field and
Farm.

Striking STYLES In Hats.

0AJICo Il
A striking little toque is Of soft,
velvet-fnished beaver, methodically
strapped with narrow bands OF velvet
in shades ranging from deep pinkish
yellow through burnt orange to brown,
in wonderful gradations OF color.
Browns in coppery and chocolate
tones are still the shades par excel
lence for this season.
Another smart model in hats Is OF
reddish brown velvet, having a large
oblOng crown which is further in
creased in size by loose drapings OF
the velvet. Underneath the rim are
encrustations of Irish crochet and
above are long floating plumes OF
brown. MORE ribbon strings COM
plete this charming model
Almost all skirts shown are shirred
or plated at the waist, and all the ex-
cess material falls in voluminous folds
to the floor and trails, indeed, for
from three to six inches all around.
The lower portion is deliberately
trimmed with founces, festoons, ruch-
ings and all sorts of odd, old-fash-
Toned adornings.
Among the new evening coats
shown are some in shawl or cape eff
fects, entirely devoid of sleeves. These
are provided, of course, for those
evening gowns which even this early
have the immense sleeves and puffs
Of decade ago, and are warranted
not to crush the delicate fabrics.

Cakes for Afternoon Tea.

Dainty little cakes for the afternoon
tea may be baked in tins of fancy
shapes, iced, sprinkled with broken
nut meats, and dotted with candied
fruits. An excellent old rule for cake
calls for an equal weight of eggs,
-four butter, and sugar. Cream the
sugar and butter together very thor.
oughly. Then drop in the eggs one
by one. beating each after 1t goes in
until the mixture is very foamy. After
the beating has made the batter as
frothy as possible, fold in the flour
Bake this cake slowly. Otherwise it

Cause Of strlnalness in MIX.

Stringiness in milk is caused by
fungi which develops in the system Of
the COW. In an affected COW the TEN.
perature is raised one or two degrees
above normal. Like most other fungi
this does not grow out into filaments
in the milk while within the body, but
in five or six hours after the milking
the surface layers are found to be one
dense network of filaments. If a
needle is dipped in this and lifted the
liquid is drawn out into a long thread.
Care should be taken in the water sup
ply which is likely to cause stringi.
ness and two drains bisulphite of soda
daily until the stringiness disappears
is recommended.

Foundation of Dairylnq.

The motherhood of the COW is the
foundation of dairying. This founda-
ton has not been understood in the
past, and the mother quality was set
at naught. The care and feeding of
the mother are things that should
receive our first attention, but they
have been the things to receive at.

dry 1t has been the custom to cut
down her feed and sometimes to let
her go with only hay and a poor quail
ity of hay at that. This is not treat
ment that is likely to develop the calf
within her or to improve the milking
qualities of the COW herself.

To Make Lace GIrdIe,

The very newest girdle is made with

GUAM ISLAND
THE LITTLE KNOWN POSSESSION
OF THE UNITED STATES IN THE
WESTERN PACIFIC OCEAN.
BY WILLIAM R. RHODES.
OF the Civil Service in Guam.


When Uncle Sam embarked in the
profession of acquiring possessions by
force of arms, in '9S, one of the most
picturesque of the islands thus secured
was Guam, a little island about 13 de-
grees north of the equator and more
than five thousand miles southwest Of
San Francisco. Before the Pacific Ca
BILE arrived here we were very much
isolated as we were dependent entirely
for news upon the monthly transport
en- route from San Francisco to Manila.
Guam is southermost of all the Lad
rones a group of about sixteen small
islands discovered by Magellan in 1921.
These have been in the Spanish possess
sion from that time until the cruiser
Charleston commanded by Captain
Glass, steamed into the Port de Apra
and with a shot or two put an end to
the three hundred years of Spanish
regime. The Spanish population show
ed much surprise on learning that their
mother country was at war, but the
natives were very happy to learn that
their little island was to change rulers.
The first impression a newcomer gets
of this beautiful little isle is a long
strip of land that presently grows in
to a mountain range. The island is
very hilly but all along the shore in
certain portions the hills slope down to
a shelf bordering the water and on this
shelf the little towns are situated the
hills rising behind them. On the up
lands and in the hills the natives have
their ranches, for they are entirely an

there is a little excitement aboard as

and marked and is comparatively safe,
although there are very few good an

roads in Guam now, the main one lead

working and learning trades in the
daytime and going to school at night.
The young generation of Guam have
every inducement in the world to get
an education as they can see that
respectable native can have any posi-
ton that he is capable of filling. There
are now boys apprenticed as carpen-
ters, blacksmiths, dentists, clerks,
butchers, musicians, hospital nurses,
plumbers, printers, electricians and
machinists. There is also an agricul-
tural school of thirty boys.
Governor Dyer has established a ma
tive band and procured them instru-
ments similar to the ones used by the
naval band, and two of the best must
clans from the Station band give them
daily lessons. They are learning to
play very rapidly and have, on one oc-
casion, furnished music for a ball that
was held in the Agana high school
building.
The natives consider themselves very
fortunate in falling into the hands of a
paternal government and they are Civ
ing every assurance that they are be-
ing treated satisfactorily. The natives
are very peaceful, orderly and re-
spectful people, but unfortunately on
ly few of them enjoy a good educa-
ton as that was one of the many
things that their former rulers neg
lected. But they are quick to learn as
is shown by the fact that several of
the boys who have been in the high
school for one year are now teaching
the primary classes in the Agana pub
lie school,
