Alfalfa A Great Flesh
Producer.
(By A. d. Burhans.)

Throughout the whole corn belt, where
the main live stock feed has been corn In
some shape or other, the alfalfa gospel is
taking root. There Is no forage that can
do as much for the land. for hogs, cattle
or growing stock Of any kind, as alfalfa.
The writer was "A young man working on
the farm to gain a practical knowledge of
live stock growing at this time. He well
remembers how wichita. Kansas, was the
great market for Texas hogs, and has seen
thousands of these rnil-splitting animals
driven on farms almost wholly given to al
falfa growing. They foragcd on the al
falfa pastures all summer and early In the
fall were finished of with "A bit of corn for
the Kansas City markets.
Kansas farmers knew the value of pure
bred hogs. but they could buy the Texas
animals too cheap to bother with raising
the honor of teaching farmers that alfalfa
was the greatest swine feed on earth. Al.
falfa keeps the blood cool, grows great
bone. makes thrift. keeps the hogs system
clean, and provides Il perfect growing ra-
ton.
The dairy farmer of the corn belt also
has learned "A thing or two about alfalfa.
He has found that three crops of hay from
n well cultivated field are sure every season.
Alfalfa Is never resecded to preserve It's
density on the ground in favorable local.
ties. II spreads from the roots AS well as
from the seed.
A disc set Just a trine cutting, run over
a field of alfalfa that has grown too coarse,
will split the crowns of the plant and cause
1t to sprout up finer In stem. This discing
can be run again across the field in thu
opposite direction DO this after cutting off
"a crop.
In the major portion Of the corn belt, in
1906. four crops of alfalfa Of over a ton
to the acr" each wcr" cut. The year was
particularly good for this plant.
The dairyinan likes "A finer stem to his
alfalfa than does the average farmer. He
finds that the cattle, the milk cows rs well
as calves and growing hcifcrs, appreciate
the most easily chewcd stems.
In the alfalfa country one can see the
colts and calves in shelter places partaking
of this hay the whole winter through. and
IL brings them out to spring fat and sleek.
Where so much corn is fed to live stock
as in the belt where II thrivcs best, there
Is no plant that can take the place OF al
falfa, II, with corn, forms Il perfectly bal
anced ration for all growing animals. The
dairyman does not have to worry over the
high price of bran If he can grow alfalfa.
for the thing he buys bran for Is wonder
fully abundant in this plant.
We have seen dozens of dairy farmers
who made bright alfalfa hay and ground
corn, an all winter feed that produced heavy
flows OF rich milk.

Soon the regiment was in the thickest Of

up. and waving them aloft said Come on,

the battlefield Of Shiloh. as given by the
daily papers. was the name Of Private John
Harris, Company --, Kentucky In

This. however. was an error.
Il is the 31st of December, 1862, and we
are on the bloody battlefield OF Stone River,
when General McCook's army was over
whelmed by the onslaught Of the Confed-
crate army. driving back Sheridan. Davis
and Johnson's divisions. Baldwln's brigade
OF Johnson's division was deployed to stay
the onset of the victorious enemy. John
Harris was carrying the colors Of the Ken
lucky regiment. In the charge OF the enemy
the entire color guard was either killed or
wounded John Harris alone held the flag
aloft until he was pierced with many bull
lets and fell to the ground, then the flag
was given into other hands.

bloody battle, one OF the bravest of the

their wounded, and John jumping from his
horse ran down into Lost River, and there
concealed himself until his enemies gave
up the chase.
It was a beautiful morning on April the
9th, 1862, and General Buell's command
was making a forced march through Ten
nessee. John Harris with knap-sack and
gun was marching in the ranks OF q Ken
lucky regiment, his face was pallid and
his hands trembled as ne held his gun.
Distant cannonading could be heard. and
occasionally an orderly would rush up and
say to the commander OF the regiment.
General Rousseau says for you to hurry
up with your command" And in a few
moments the men we're marched out to the
roadside, and ordered to pack their KNAPP
sacks in a bulk. A detail was ordered 10
guard the knap-sacks and the march was
resumed.
The Captain noted John Harris's condi-
ton, and suggested that II would be bet
ter to leave John behind. saying, 1--WE will
never get him into battle" But John, all
trembling, appealed to the Captain TO let
him continue with the ranks, saying, 81
shall never turn back until commanded by
you"
April the seventh. Buell's advance had
reached the battle field OF Shiloh. and was
advancing on the enemy. John Harris was
again pale and trembling noting his condi-

around his neck. one end being thrown

others cowed the mob.

said, Men, mount your horses and pur-

Birds Are Money Savers.

The fruit grower who does not take the
birds into consideration Is in the wrong
business, to say the least.
Some growers make the fatal mistake Of
destroying the birds that eat cherries and
berries. II Is true they do sometimes be-
come very annoying, but this can be les
sened by planting wild fruits that ripen at
the same time AZ the cultivated ones. Null
berries will help save the cherries, as will
wild cherries, elderberries. wild grapes. etc,

That .sHog" Ordinance.

A petition, asking the Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen to. Aullify the
ordinance relative to- the running at
large. on our streets of hogs, sheep
and goats, was circulated Monday
and received q number of sigma
lures. W.flile-every man has a right
to his own opinions in matters OF
this kind, the ordinance referred to
was adopted by q goodiy majority
6fsthe voters of the town, and we
believe its repeal would be a step
backward.
Aside from the injury done private
property by loose hogs, the depreda-
tons to the public thoroughfares by
inyeterate roeters have always
;been cause of ANNOYANCE and their
repair matters of expense.
And should this petition, when

would do we1rto make sure that the
