ALFALFA FOR DAIRY COWS.

There are two fundamental princi-
Piles of feeding which every careful
dairyman u keep before him, these
are succulence in food and the digest
ible nutriments in food. No other sin
gle food fills the bill, In these parti-
culars, quite SO well as alfalfa. 1t comes
on when the earlier grass and clover
crops are gone, and IL 1t Is fed green,
right along until fall, the cows will go
into the winter in capital condition, n
they will be more likely to keep up
their milk flow during the winter. The
profit of feeding alfalfa Is best shown
when we compare ii with mill stuff. A
ton Of good shorts contains about as
much digestible protein as 2,400 pounds
Of alfalfa hay. SO with shorts costing
$50 a ton, alfalfa hay Is worth Sic a
ton. But the whole value Of alfalfa
is not shown by the comparison, for
alfalfa may be cut three or four times
during the season and h total yield
is frequently from four to five tons
per acre. Grow alfalfa and cut out the
big bills for mill feeds.

DON'T DO 1T.

Dairying offers many temptations to
the man who is inclined to mixed farm
ing. i do not believe that dairying ad-
mits of any halfway course. The most
frequent mistake is in trying to make
the beef herd serve two purposes-that
of making both beef and milk. 1t has
never been done successfully, n 1t is
costly to go on making such expert
ments. Once in a while we find a tip
top milch COW in the beef herd, and IL
she is taken out and handled like a
dairy COW should be handled, h shows
profit. But whenever 0 try to raise
a beef calf from that cow, and then
keep her in beef condition, you have
ruined your dairy COW prospect. 1t sell
dom pays to keep two distinct herds
or the ordinary farm, and 1t nev has
paid to mix breeds in order to get
what is called a double purpose cow.
With cows, as with men. h demand
Is for a class that win do n kind Of
work well.

DAIRY NOTES..

The greatest profit in milking cows
comes In the proper handling Of both
cows and produce. II ones facilities
enable him to handle only ten cows
with profit, it is folly to undertake to
run twenty or more.

We used to think that a running
stream was the ideal watering place
for hogs. But we find now thai this
is often a prolific source Of disease.
Streams running through other feed
yards than your own should not be
used. The spring brook, fed by springs
on your own LAND Is safe, out not many
are fortunate enough to have a nice
spring.

The value of your hay depends upon
it's quality, and quality denends upon
when o cut it and how well you put
1t up and store it, Black or musty hay
shows careless work. The object should
be to get the crop cured and in NOW
without the loss of any of the good
qualities It had when standing as grass.
Good hay is nothing but grass, with

Don't permit the cows to get any idea
of what is over in the next lot. When
pastures begin to tougnen up, the cows
are apt to wander along the fences,
and a lack wire or broken board gives
them the opportunity to break through
into the cornfield.

There is no excuse for lousy hogs, for
they may be gotten rid of easily by
spraying or dipping. Most any Of the
stock dips will do the work effectually,

Of dip is all you usually need. If

aud dip the hogs. That settles the lice.

The strainer is a very useful thing
to have about the dairy, but 1t won't
catch bad odors nor very much of the
impurities. Really, strainers are de-
ceptive; they help the appearance Of
the milk, without separating the par
ticles which do the mischief. The thing
to do is to keep all hairs, dirt and 9TH

PHILADELPHIA and The Ohio.

The newspapers Of the great valley
between the Alleghenies and the
Rockies paid marked attention to the
proceedings before the Board Of
Engineers, U. S. A., at Pittsburgh
in connection with the project Of
canalizing the Ohio to Nine Foot
Stage from Pittsburgh TO Cairo and
the comments were, uniformly, ia
yorable aud urgent on the govern
ment to complete the work That
the press should be favorable to the
project was to be expected. But
that the strongest endorsement
should come from east of the noun
tains is exceedingly encouraging to
all interests in the Ohio Valley and
an omen Of assured success. Ia ITS
issue Of August IL, the Philadelphia
Record says editorially:
The estimated cost of canalizing
the Ohio River, so as to secure a
nine foot waterway from Pittsburgh
to Cairo is $50. 600, OO0. There is
no doubt of the practicability Of the
scheme from an engineering point Of
view nor Of the desire Of the business
interests affected in the populous
states touched by the Ohio and its
tributaries that the great work shall
be undertaken and pushed to early
completion. Such a navigable water
way would be Of vast incidental
benefit 10 compelling competitive
railway freight rates on the great
East and West trunk lines. 1t
ought to have the solid support in
Congress Of all Representatives Of
the Middle States from Pennsylvania
westward to the Rocky Mountains. A"
The entire country is not only
discussing inland waterway improve
ment, but it is bearing strong testi-
mony to the exceedingly great value
Of the improved Ohio not alone to
the six Ohio River states, but to the
trade and commerce of the entire
country. The Ohio is, unquestion-
ably, the most important Of all in
land waterways and unity of action
in the Ohio Valley will make its
improvement an absolute and speedy
certainty.

Went 10 BED With Corpse.

Major James Morton, editor of the
Hardaman (Ky) Free Press, was the
victim Of an exciting experience at
hotel at Grand Junction, KY, which
he will not soon forget Nor will
the two other persons who were prin-
cipals in the comic tragedy find it
easy to erase the episode from their
memories.
Major Morton had missed his train
and going to the hotel late, asked
for a room. The clerk said the
house was crowded, but he "guessed"
he could assign him to a room with
another man who probably would
have no objections.
BY mistake the major was sent
to the wrong room. Not wishing to
awaken his bed mate. the editor qul-
etly disrobed and retired.
Presently a young man and woman
entered the room and took seats near
an open window. The maj thought
this procedure strange, but said
nothing, listening to what they SAID.
He heard something about "sitting
up with the dead He remembered
that the person in the bed had not
moved, and reaching over, he touch
ed his bed mates hand. Major
Morton jumped up with the sheet
over him and ran out of the room.
The young people thinking the
corpse had come to life, broke for
side door, and all met in the office
on the first floor for explanations.
