Alfalfa meal, though only a very
short time on the market has already
become an appreciated feeding stun,
according to the Breeders Gazette,
Chicago, which says: It's chief handi-
cap has been its relative cost, but de
spite that 1t has attained such wide
use that every alfalfa mill IN the coun-
try has been pushed to Its utmost ca
pacity for some time This in q meas
ure accounts for the phenomenal de-
mand which has existed for months
for well cured pea green third and
fourth cutting hay OF this sort Pre-
dlction among The best informed men
In the hay trade Is that the demand
for good alfalfa hay is just starting
and that the product Of the thousands
Of acres Of new seeding laid down each
successive year viii attain ready
sale. The main trouble, 1t is alleged, Is
that so far no machine has yet been
invented for the sole purpose OF grind
ing alfalfa. However inventive genius
Is at work on the problem, and It Is to
be presumed that before very long an
alfalfa mill will be perfected that will
materially lessen the cost Of grinding.
II Is predicted that when this happens
milling alfalfa VIII be one Of the lar
gest industries and equal to the flour
milling business now.

sels of the Elilabethan era, the Wis tory, the Triumph and the Dread- nought, and that famous little Revenge all bore an heraldic lion, couchant or gardant as the figurehead. James brought about change, the lion ram pant of Scotland being substituted for the lion couchant, and crown being placed on it's head Nor was this the extent of James innovation. For the Royal Prince, built in 1610 and launch ed by the kings son, Prince Henry, had an elaborate design upon her prow to twpify her name.
 This was the first of the figureheads of individual significance, and the founder of a race that in time num- bered many thousands. For the best part of a century the special figure heads were confined to first rates, the second and third rates having only the lion, but suddenly there were in- troduced large number of full length typical figures for frigates, and from that day the lion, except for the one on the prov of the ship Lion, was nev- CT seen, The Royal Prince of King James was speedily followed by the world famous Sovereign of the Seas of Charles l.

FAIR HAVEN NOTES

A large picnic from this section yes terday was that of the Seaweeds at Mansfield's Grove. At l o'clock the call went out that the chowder was ready, and seventy-six hungry people sat down to dinner. Over the tables was hung an American flag decorated with a string of seaweed which showed i the headquarters. During the day games of quoits and bean-bag were in- dulged in, and the boats were used to good advantage. Some of the party remained during the evening, but the majority came home to enjoy the even ing in viewing the fireworks on the green. All voted that the affair was complete success socially.

 There is a complaint among the res idents in the vicinity of Grand avenue between Ferry and James street, in the Eleventh and Twelfth wards, that milk left in bottles is being stolen every day. One party has seen the milkman leave the milk in the customary place, only to be followed by two thirsty men, who act as though they were used to chasing the bottle. The police should be on the alert for this nuisance. Anthony De Matty, the Grand ave- nue shoe dealer, who was seriously in- jured by falling from trolley car in Bridgeport recently, Is able to be about The accident happened as a result of the car coming to a sudden stop, throw ing Mir DeMatty from the running board, disclocating his shoulder break ing his arm, cutting a deep gash near his eye and shaking him up generally. It was thought he had been killed when picked up.
