fine road dust should be kept in easy
reach of the fowls at all times. This
will greatly aid in keeping them free
from lice and vermin of all kinds. and
helps the plumage to retain it's natural

During the warm season good sup

stored in boxes and barrels for use in
the winter. 1t will be appreciated by
the fowls and will be found to benefit
them in about the same degree as in
the summer time.

THE KONGO FOREST.


Unfamiliar Animals That Haunt

The miChtiest forest of which the
human race has any knowledge to-day
is that Of the Kongo. 1t is q region
# impenetrable mystery concerning
which accounts have been so strange
that until the past few years they
have been deemed Incredible But re-

quite unfamiliar kind. notably the

tallest mammal in the world. The

Sir Harry Johnston. In his books Of

so anomalous that no scientist of stand

the determination Of Sir Harry John.

Alfalfa ns Horse Feed.

recent publication of the bureau
of animal industry, by l. ID. Graham,
on the uses of alfalfa for farm animals,
summarizes data on the value of this
feeding stuff for horses as follows:
Horses and mules thrive on alfalfa
pasture. = While
alfalfa is too rich a food for mature
horses unless used in combination with
some other roughness, it is an excellent
feed for young horses, as it seems TO
contain just the elements necessary to
develop bone, muscle and consequent
size. Caution should be used, however,
in feeding alfalfa to horses, particu-
larry if they have not been accustomed

mature age and il is desirable to change
from other hay TO alfalfa, this change
much be very gradual, and the alfalfa
selected for the purpose should be more
advanced in growth at the time of cut
ting than that which is TO be fed TO
cattle or sheep. AS general statement,
very ripe alfalfa hay is the best to use
for work horses and driving horses,
while that prepared in the usual way
that is, cut when the field is about
one-tenth in blCom-is better for the
colts. In any event, horses that are
fed alfalfa hay must be given abun-
dant exercise.
