second after wheat harvest, the third
after the thrasEing is done, and the
fourth after corn cutting, and much
Of the seeding is done. So where al
falfa is not generally grown, the day
working men can be had to help handle
it. Most farmers who undertake to
grow a large area will find it conven-
lent to drop out some crop in rotation,
or change the use Of crop. Do not
quit growing clover, but quit growing
for hay and seed On this farm wheat
| is dropped out Of rotation, and rye

usual way, but harvested with stock
A few acres of Alfalfa on stock farm
will easily double the stock-carrying
capacity of the farm. One-fourth the
area of this farm, or nearly so, p acres
out of SO and one-half, makes it pos
sible for me to stock up with 900 feed
ing lambs, when if did not have alfal-
| ia, and if I was not vastly more for
tunate with clover than others in this
section, I would not have clover hay
for 100. A farmer can hardly under
stand the possibilities till he is in pos

to care for it as it should be cared for
The last number of the Rural New
Yorker contains an account Of some
experiments with alfalfa in New Jersey:
At the Training School for Feeble
Minded Children at Vineland, N. J.,
experiments have been made in feeding
alfalfa in comparison with grain. Geo.
A. Michel has charge of these expert
ments for committee of the Grange.
A mixture of 400 pounds brewers
grains, 800 malt sprouts, 400 wheat
bran and 400 pounds linseed meal was
taken as a standard grain ration. The
homegrown ration consisted Of: 40
to so pounds corn silage, "a pounds
green alfalfa, Is pounds green Crimson
clover, one and one-half to two and
one-ha1f pounds cottonseed meal. The
partly purchased ration consisted Of:
40 to 80 pounds corn silage, eight
pounds feed mixture, one to two and
one-half pounds cottonseed meal, so
pounds mixed forage (rye, chiefly,
some Crimson clover and Orchard
grass. Good COWS were selected for
the experiment, part being fed one
ration and part another. From the
report we learn:
The cost of the homegrown ration,
figuring green alfalfa S. per ton, green
crimson clover 81, corn silage 81, mix
ed forage So, makes the cost of 100
quarts of milk equal SLIP. The cost
Of the partly-purchased ration makes
the cost Of 100 quarts of milk equal
1894 The total yield Of milk with
the homegrown ration from the eight
COWS for Is days was 1920 pounds
The yield Of milk with the partly
purchased rations from the eight COWS
for Is days was 1884 pounds. These
figures will vary in different localities,
but the general result is the same

to his happiness and prosperity, and
will doubtless continue so to the end.
About one year ago | had letter
from one Of the editors Of the leading
farm papers of Ohio, expressing the
belief that it would only grow in the
Miami and Scioto Valleys of Ohio,
and not north of Columbus, and only
successfully in the limestone soil for
nations Of Ohio. Recently the expert
mentalist at the Wooster Station,
seconded my opinion that it will grow
in every county in Ohio. It is now
grown in one Of the most northern
counties of the state.
About seven years ago, the first
sowing was made in this part of the
state. A few days ago [ made out
from memory list of SO farmers who
are growing it, or making the effort.
These, in the main, do not cover a
very large range of country There
are many growers about the county
seat, Chillicothe, whom [ do not know
A seed dealer told me about August
~, that so far that month, they had
sold about 60 bushels Of seed, which
would mostly be used in the county
of Ross. When a farmer once has an
alfalfa field he need not worry, and
lose sleep, because his tools do not
suit the crop, or it's destruction, for
there will be time for the pillow to be
invented that will cut the roots by the
time he wants to p1ow it. The West
ern farmers do not howl about the
difficulty of blowing it, when they want
to do it, no more than the silo user
howls about climbing the ladder into
his silo once or twice a day. In the
pleasing contemplation of the value OF
the two products, they forget these
minor inconvenience.
I have field that I have been now
ing for five years. With the finish Of
this season it will have been mown
II times. Now I am not anxious as to
what kind of pillow I will have to pos
sess to be able to p1ow it. [ am more
anxious as to my possible ability and
skill to keep a pillow out of the field. I
can grow alfalfa easier than I can corn,
my land suits better. Some Of my
neighbors have better corn land than
mine, the kind that never fails to give
them a crop, and they have corn to
sell Corn sometimes fails to give a
satisfactory crop on my land, but when
alfalfa once is set, I can be sure of
satisfactory return Since I have had
alfalfa there have been two or three
horses on the farm, driven in by
callers, that would not eat it when
given to them. In a very short time
horses develop an appetite for it. My
farm team only gets alfalfa hay and
blue grass, and do the heaviest farm
work, such as hauling manure, gravel,
etc. No man has accused me Of feed
ing short.
Alfalfa roots go deep, but they are
slim, averaging nearer onehalf inch
in diameter than one inch; this, with
roots on my own farm that are now
six years old Many farmers will not

FROM GAME WARDEN CHASE.
Official Makes a Statement Covsrins His
Term Of Office.

Editor Bauner-In view OF the action
taken at meeting OF the Bennington
Fish and Game club Saturday evening
/ desire to submit the following report
to the citizens of Bennington county:
/ have now been County Warden for
q mo this. During that time deputy
wardens and myself have made 50 ar
rests for violations of the Fish and
Game laws of Vermont. Before my
time, I believe three arrests we're made
in the county in eight years. 1t is
needless to say that there was not
m n, woman or child In Bennington
county who had much respect for the
game laws previous to 1905.
At the end of my first year as war
den procured for the fish and game
department 10 fines, sales OF illegal
fish and deer, and non resident licens
es total OF s705.0l. received for
per diem, travelling expens and pay
for deputy wardens total OF S599.ls
This left the state profit of Sl05 So on
my work without paying me one cent
from the annual appropriation.
During my entire term there was
s assessed In the courts from my work
fines and costs TO the amount OF Sl573..
80. I have received from all sources
Sl2l2 sc. More than half this sum has
been paid to deputy wardens for as
stance and for travelling expenses.
received less than $500 for my per
dem. / only charged the state on an
average OF about IL Gays each month,
when my diary shows that during that
time put in 525 days Of hard work,
or an average OF aoout % days each
month. Some may inquire why did
this. The reason Is this: am deeply
interested in the cause OF fish and
game protection and rs the fuuds OF
the department we're limited willingly
gave all my time to the work realizing
that 1t could not be properly done
otherwise.
Now, according to Commissioner
Thomas report ] received more than
any other warden in the state. But In

this connection one must remember
that over half was for expenses aud
paying deputies. Also, | Travelled
more and farther than any other war
den and as result Bennington county
courts assessed the largest sums in
fines and costs.
Outside of Bennington county | did
other work assigned me by the COM
missioner. Mr. Parmenter OF Benning-
ton and myself had the honor OF catch
ing and convicting the liking OF YER
mont poachers'' at Lake Bomoseen.
This man had violated the laws for
years and defed capture and he was
never taken before nor since. also
worked on Mississquoi bay and in
Windsor and Windham counties.
| freely admit that have doubtless
made mistakes, but if so, they were
mistakes of the head and no. OF the
heart have honestly tried to en-.
force the game laws, have always been
willing to listen to the advice OF
sportsmen aud we'll meaning citizens,
and have Invariably followed the or
ders OF my chief, the commissioner,
as the law requires me to do. The du-
ties OF the Office are extremely onerous
In a way, but / have always attempted
to dc, equal justice by all men and
give every one square deal.
Some have criticized my deputy war
dens For this l am certainly not re
sponsible. 1t is extremely difficult to
secure good men in every town among
strangers. Rut the majority OF the
deputy wardeus are good men and
have co-operated with me at all times
and haye done their duty, so that am
proud of them and am willing to stand
or fall by them.
In ave also stocked q number of
streams in the county and am now
awaiting shipment to stock others.
In conclusion ] submit to- every hon.
est sportsman In the county whether
or not the hunting and fishing has not
improved hundred per cent in the
last two years.
