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 one
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 al
falfa he has done so. He has recog-
nized it as a cheap source of protein.
The hog raiser on the other hand is COM
ing to realize only slowly that the hog
deeds protein at all He has come to
think of the hog as an animal that needs
a food that will make fat, and. as 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 the 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 a good green food and is good when
dry, If it is cut up and mixed with soft
food or steamed.
| It has been 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 a feed like alfalfa should be
fed almost exclusively. 1t is good thing
to build up the frame of the animals;
but it does not provide enough car
oohydrates to make it serve the double
purpose of developed and finisher.-

SIGN of William B. Post, a citizen OF
Washington, Pa. Post enlisted when
less than 16 years of age, was stricken
with fever shortly after entering the
service, and was sent to hospital in
Washington. When able to leave his
bed, he requested his captain to allow
him to return home, promising that,
as soon as he should recover. he would
gladly take up his musket and go to the
front. The captain, however, turned a
deaf ear to his entreaties. and, as last
resort, Post sought an audience with the
president
/ "My boy" said Mr.. Lincoln, as the
lad concluded his story, eff you want to
go home to your mother, you SHALL You
we're too young to go into the war, and
the man who permitted you to enlist
should be dismissed from the service.
I admire your courage and patriotism
but your place is at home with your
mother"
The president then wrote the note
quoted above, handed it to Post, and
telling him that would put him through
his troubles, dismissed him with Goo
bless you!" Secretary Stanton gave
him a furlough and transportation
home. When he regained his health
and strength he returned to the arm!
and fought with his regiment until thu

upon the hearing, or rather seeing, OF
the Left case with something of awe.
ssWhy should a man be brutal to a
woman that couldn' talk ?" asked mere
man who watched the trial.
"Why should a woman find fault with
a. husband who couldn't talk back, what
ever other sins he may have had," was
the retort of a woman waiting the
chance to tell her own story.
Mrs. Left was the first witness on the
stand. Mrs. S. H. Halves was the inter-
prefer and it was through her that the
questions of court and counsel were
made ineligible to the witness.
Mrs. Lefi's fingers flew fast as she told
the story of her married unhappiness.
With rapid gesticulation and emphatic
mods of the head she told OF her mar
rage Is years ago when she was bur 20
years of age; of how he had failed to sup
port her, taking from her money she
got from her father to spend upon him
self; of his having treated her cruelty

1896, leaving to her the support of her
little daughter, now Is years old, and
like her mother without the power of
speech or faculty of hearing.
She had managed the child's support,
| the mother signed, by doing sewing. IT
was the sort of story that is heard every
Saturday in the courtroom of the city,
but it took kind of dignity from the
manner in which it was tried.
Mr.. Somehow and his wife followed
Mrs. Left on the stand. With emphatic
waves of their supple hands they testi-
fed to witnessing Lef's cruelty toward
his wife. They also said they had seen
him scold and call her names upon his
fingers. While the husband talked, OF
rather signed, the wife looked on, and
every question that was put she an
swered also, making what might be
called asides in the conversation.
Deaf-mute witnesses are not altogeth-
ar unknown in the courthouse, and Mrs
Halves is a regular interpreter, but g
case in which all the testimony was
given in the sign language had never
been heard there before.

IT'S OFTEN HARD TO TELL.

There used to be a little boy who never
broke the golden rule.
And no one of his age could peat the
record that he made in school;
My parents used to fret because | was
MT just like Eddie Bell;
If | had patterned after him 1t would
indeed have pleased them well.
But Eddie Bell was forced to leave the
old home place, the other day.
The mortgage was foreclosed because
poor Eddie somehow couldn't pay.
The neighbors say hat If he'd worked
and managed things in proper style
He might have kept the farm and made
"a rather handsome little pile"
His parents in the poorhouse dwell
You see it's often hard to tell.
And there was Henry M~atthewson; he
used to be a model, too;
He danced attendance on his wife as il
the only joy he knew
Was in the grateful smiles she gave,
and often I've been lectured well
Because l lacked the traits he showed,
because | didn't rush pellmell
To pattern after him, and be a second
Henry Matthewson,
Repeating "Dearie," pet" and Love
when others heard, But he has
gone
II don't know where-and with him
went a lady who-well, I'll not say
What other called her-but his
wife and children mourn today.
The case of this dear man who fell
Shows that it's often hard to tell.
Now there is Deacon Cowperthwaite,
an upright man who V smokes
And never tastes those things which
have a tendency to addle folks.
Day after day I have to hear how
myself might yet excel
If l did as the deacon does-how
might have a chance to dwell
In that far realm beyond the skies ant
have a harp and crown some day
If | would take the course he takes
But snares may lie along the way
That he pursues; and, though he still
is ~sinless, / propose to wait
A little while before | try to strike the
good old deacon's gait.
He may be true all through, but
well,
It's sometimes rather hard to tell.

THE VALUE OF BEER.
The Essentials of Quality and Health.
fulness.

Experience has shown that the prime
requisites of a really good beer are
three in number-superiority of the
materials, treatment in the brewing
and proper maturing or ageing before
marketing.
Perhaps first of Importance is the
nature and character of the materials
used. The Anheuser-Busch Brewing
Assn, whose product, BUDWEISER,
has come to be considered as a stan
dard from which beer-quality is to be
judged, have found that materials of
the very highest quality only can be u.s.
ed If really good beer is to result. They
have found also, that of all materials
permissible in brewing, only the best
quality barley-malt, the choicest grade
of hops, superior quality yeast, with
perhaps a small percentage of the best
rice can be depended upon to produce
a beer of the highest degree of quality,
flavor and palatability.
This association confirms what is
generally admitted among brewers that
to produce a beer of excellence, expen-
sive modern methods of brewing must
be followed and the most rigie sanitary
precautions observed at all stages.
Cleanliness, purity and careful steril-
ization are considered vitality essential
by them in ommon with all good
brewers.
Anheuser-Busch also contends that
the exquisite flavor and acknowledged
healthfulness of Budweiser is to be at
tributed, to a great extent, t o their ex-
IRENE care in maturing and ageing.
Their storage capacity of over 100000
barrels makes it unnecessary for them
to market their product until properly
aged, and in consequence it possesses
to the greatest degree the quality, mel
Iowness and flavor which has caused
