soMEspossiRlLlTiEs OF ALFALFA
Professor d. Fl. Otis of the College
OF Agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin has just concluded series
Of experiments with alfalfa as n feed
Tor dairy cows. He finds that young
cows not giving milk can be kept In
good condition during the winter and
gain from I.25 to LIS pounds per day
when fed nothing but alfalfa hay.
Speaking further of the value of alfal-
IA as a ration, he states that, with an
average yield Of four tons. alfalfa will
produce $50 pounds of digestible pro-
tein per acre, to supply which In the
form of oil meal would require 15
tons, which at present prices would
cost $3.50. A summary Of the feed.
ing trials which were conducted show
cd that alfalfa could be made to take
the place Of at least one-half OF the
grain usually fed to dairy cows The
cash returns from feeding alfalfa at
the different experiment stations range
from $40 to $50 per ton. Professor
Ots states in closing his report that,
with a yield OF four tons per acre, a
conservative estimate would indicate
that the Wisconsin dairy farmer would
be able to Increase his profits from so
to 10 per cent BY the liberal yet Judi
cious use Of alfalfa grown upon his
owu tasn.

RIGID EXAMINATION
IS Being CONDUCTED
Unlicensed Doctors Will Be Prose-
cuted by the State Board-Secretary
Mclean Is Looking Them Up and
Several Will Stand Examinations.
Daily News Special.


Jackson October 13-There were
about two hundred applicants before
the State Medical Board at the open
ing of the regular fall examination
of applicants for licenses to practice
medicine in the state this morning.
The class is one of the largest in the
history of the state.
The examination is to be a very
thorough one, lasting two days, and
while the list OF questions is little
or no more rigid than heretofore. the
examining board have pledged them
selves to pass nobody whose papers do
not grade up to the standard required,
as demonstrating the qualifications for
admission to the profession.
Another thing to which the state
board stands pledged is to prosecute
vigorously all cases discovered where
unlicensed doctors are practicing med
icines. 1t had been thought that there
could be very few such doctors in the
state, but it is declared by those who
professto know that there was a great
many of them. These. or as many of
them as the board can reach, will be
prosecuted as soon as the proof is OBJ
tanned against them
DR.. S. H. Mclean of this city, sec
rotary of the state board, has been
particularly active in looking up these
cases, and he has had valuable assist
ance along this line by other members
of the board. as well as from other
physicians throughout the state. The
policy Of prosecuting these doctors,
announced at the last examination,
has had the effect of forcing several
of the unlicensed practitioners to come
up and take the examination.

BOARD Of
MISSIONS
CONVENES
Famous Mission Workers From All
Parts of the World Are Gath
ering in Brooklyn.

New York, October 13.-Distin-
guished missionaries, clergymen and
laymen from many parts of the world
are assembled in Brooklyn today at
the meeting Of the American Board of
Feroign Missions. For nearly CEN
fury Congregationalists and others in
terested in foreign missionary work
have made this board a channel for
their gifts 10 aid the propagation Of
the gospel in other lands.
China and Japan have in the past
been the principal beneficiaries of the
board, but owing to the awakening in
Turkey, that country will probably re
ceive much attention. Many authori-
ties on missions believe that the time
is now ripe for the Christianization Of
the land Of Abdul Hamid and that
properly directed efforts will result in
the substitution of the cross of Chris
tianity for the crescent Of Mohamme-
daniSm.
It is alleged by the missionary work
ers that the yearning for freedom and
for righteous government so strong
just now in the breasts of Young
Turks can, in not few cases. be
traced to the indirect influence OF
splendid schools like Robert College
and the American College for Girls,
as well as to the fine institutions at
HarpoOt and Aintab. An attractive
personality at the meeting is DR.. Hi
ram Bingham, now residing in Homo
lulu, but who for fifty years was the
chief factor in the Christianization of
the Gilbert Islands. He has trans
lated the Bible into the vernacular and
is just now in America to carry
through the presses a Gilbertese die
tionary.
