Alfalfa as n Good Feed.


In the year 1903 l read great deal
about alfalfa, and SO bought 100 pounds
OF seed and as soon as my oat crop
was sown prepared my land for al.
falfa. | chose very rich piece of
land which l plowed about eight inches
deep, pulyerized it very fine and then
sowed the seed broadcast | sowed a
nurse crop in connection with the al.
falfa-25 pounds Of alfalfa and one
bushel of oats, covered with q drag.
About the first of June L cut and cured
and put in the barn the alfalfa and
oats. | fed this to my horses and they
did well. Twice after this | cut the
alfalfa and let it lie on the land for
mulch. The second year | cut the al
falfa three times, making about six
tons to the acre in all for the second
year. The third year l cut it four
times, making ten tons to the acre for
tie season of 1906. Ny hogs eat the
cry alfalfa with relish, in fact, every
animal on the place seems to be crazy
to eat alfalfa hay. | feed a few cat
tie every year and give them shelled
corn, eal corn and shock corn with all
the alfalfa hay they will eat They
have good barn to stay in nights and
stormy weather, and l never In all
MY feeding saw cattle gain in three
~sonths as these did from the time |
PVT them in the feed yard until they
y re shipped to market. / think al
fdlfa IS one Of the most paying crops
farmer can raise, and | have been
50 well pleased with my experience
that 1 am mulching the alfalfa with
manure and think it will help it to
winter. / think there Is danger OF
freezing, although the land faces to
the south and Is well drained-G. T..

Good shelter with little feed is bet
ter for domestic animals than no shell

toughens. A good barn is a good in

Sometimes there is a petulancy en-
gendered among children in the home.
A good way to cure this is to let some

There is such a thing as fruitgrow-

fruit when he is packing. There is
also a possibility that he will not have

q man to do his grading and packing.

OF Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan and il
Is SAID conducts there gambling opera
lions. Information concerning the results
at the various race tracks of the country
are received ny wireless telegraph and
the steamboat, it is further alleged, IS
operated as floating pool room.
The authorities of Chicago have en-
deavored to suppress the evil, but their
efforts nave been futile. Finally Mayor
RuSse appealed To the government au-
thurltieS urging them To take steps
WNlch would put an end to the opera
TONS of the steamer. Today Acting
Secretary Murray of the department OF
commerce and labor instructed Collector
of Customs John {. Ames at Chicago
that, if the facts were rs represented,
he should cancel tie vessels license at
once.
This involves the cancellation of the
steamers passenger certificate as well.
Tie action is taken under the authority
of tie revised statutes of the United
State which specifically provide that
license granted to any vessel shall not
be considered in force any longer than
the vessel is engaged in the employment
for which she was specifically licensed.
The only business for which vessel
can be licensed to engage in the domes
tic commerce of the United States under
the federal law is for the coasting trade
or the fisheries. and the department
holds that anchoriuG a licensed vessel off
shore ana maintaining her solely as u
gambling house is neither of them.

i'll the same manner.
The animal does not contine itself to
the calves for victims, but has mutilated
several large COWS so that they aavc
either died or been killed to relieve their
suiieriGgs, and il has also caused the
death of one horse. The method of at
tack is somewhat peculiar and has been
the same III every case. 1t first ham
strings its victims and chews their
noses so that, being unable TO eat, they
either die CT starvation or have to be
killed.
Several hunters have been out looking
for the animal. which is supposed t. have
its den on Green Mountain, but they
have not been able To get within shoot
ing distance, although some claim to.
have seen it with a field glass. At
tempts have also been made to kill it by
placing poison on the carCaSses Of cat
tie which ii has killed, but it seems
smart enough to select a fresh victim
when hungry instead of returning to an
old one. Those who have seen the ami
