ALFALFA FOR

In composition alfalfa is nearly. II

Of alfalfa lies in its high content OF
digestible protein. With an average
yield of four tons, alfalfa will produce
$50 pounds OF digestible protein per
acre. II this amount OF protein Is
supplied from oil meal, which is US
ually purchased for its protein con
tent. it would require 10 tons, which
would cost at present $3.50.
4 summary OF feeding trials with
dairy cows shows that alfalfa can be
made TO take the place of at least
one-half of the grain usually fed oul
dairy cows, and as the nutrients need.
ed by dairy cows can be produced
much more cheaply with alfalfa than
with grain, the cost Of producing milk
may be greatly reduced by its use.
The cash returns from feeding
this crop at the various experiment
stations range from $40 10 $40 per ton
With four tons per acre, these figures
show excellent returns from the land
devoted TO alfalfa. conservative
estimate would indicate that the Wis
consin dairy farmer can increase his
profits from so to 75 per cent. By a
liberal but judicious use OF alfalfa

differ very greatly as to their notions

any trimming and some trim of every

The men that do not trim at all
say that a tree should be taken out OF
the ground with the greatest of care,
that its roots may not be injured.
They advocate digging circular
ditch far from the little tree and grad

all the small. fibrous roots may be

they would save the top because that

THE BEE BEGINNER

A few suggestions may be helpful to
the beginner in bee keeping and en-
able him to make his first years work
a marked success.
/. Shade your hives, II possible
with trees carrying heavy foliage
Swarms should be shaded from nine
a m. TO five p. m. during the hottest
season OF the year
2. Get a super Of honey from the
hive wintered over by putting a super
containing sections with full sheets OF
foundation or super containing ex'
tracing frames on the hive as soon
as there is a good working force.
3. When the swarm issues remove
the super from the old and place II
upon the new stand. Your new swarm
will not leave their hive and will be
quite likely 10 continue working in the
super.
4. Arrange a wind-break to prevent
loaded bees from being dashed against
the hive fronts by the prevailing
strong winds.
5. Provide supports for the hives
which will lift them foot or more
from the ground. Ants and insect
eating animals may give ,rouble II
the hives are on the ground.
G. Get your extra hives and supers
set up for use sey sral weeks before
any swarms are expected or the honey
flow may be half over before you are
ready 10 take care OF IT.
7. Keep all comb-honey In moth
proof cases and examine frequently
9. Set the hive with the front Of

which a tree is pruned By the so-called
StringfeIIow method. All the roots
and all the branches are removed
The setting of the tree is reduced TO
the least possible work. A man goes
along with crowbar and jabs a hole
in the earth. Another man follows
with an ar1nful of trees AMI pushes a
tree into each hole. This method is
found to be serviceable in many parts
OF the south, where an abundant sun
shine and moisture hasten growth. 1t
is also more adapted to last growing
trees, like the peach. than to any
other kind. In the colder parts Of the
country, where growth is slow, it has
not proved very satisfactory.
