Feed XaIne of Alfalfa.

IN composition alfalfa is nearly, If
not quite, equal to bran pound for
pound. The excellent feeding value of
"Aaifa lies in its high content Of di-
seSuoIe protein With an average yield
VI Tour tons, alfalfa will produce $50
pounds Of digestible protein to the acre.
lllis amount of protein were sup
p"ed from oil meal. which is usually
purchased for it's protein content, it
would require Is tons, which would
'oT more than $50 at present. The
aI1aIfa mills which are being estab-
"she0 all over California are turning
vi ton of ground alfalfa for $3.50.
ne same quantity of protein in bran

Pnnlfry Items.

Look for lice if the poultry refuse tt
go into the roosting house at night.
Lice are the cause of death of more
half-grown turkeys than from any 9th
err cause.
Foul yards are great sources OF dis
ease. Fowl diseases are also caused
by foul coops and foul drinking vessels
Make the entrance to the nests from
the back to make them dark, and make
them big enough SO the hens can get IL
and out without breaking the eggs.
Almost any breed Of fowls may be
kept within bounds If rightly treated
even though it is much easier to con
fine large breeds than sma Her ones.
No one wants eggs that have beer
washed: they don't look right. To gel
a good price for eggs they must Dc
naturally clean as well as fresh.
Oyercrowding or confinement in un
healthful quarters causes diseases
among poultry. This, however, is MOI
axcnsahle on the farm. There is plen
ty of room and sanitation snouiu oS
perfect.
Corn is not a good feed for poultry
that il kept in yards too small to grow
green stuff, but it is the very best feed
for fowl when they are on pasture
where they get plenty OF insects ano
clover to pick at.
loss or waste is one Of the great
arouhacks in the poultry business
waste should be prevented, and every
nound of feed should be made TO pro
duce the greatest possible gains Clean
1iness is one-half the battle in prevent
ing loss. Keep everything about the
word clean and much loss will be stop
ped.

of the pipe screw a large wooden block.
By arranging the affair as shown in
the sketch water in the barrel will be
heated rapidly and can be removed as
desired without bothering the fire. Do
not make the mistake of putting a
metal cap on the end of the pipe or
the steam may sometimes burst the
piping before the cap will come off.
The wooden block acts as a safety
valve and will fly out if pressure is
too great.

Farm Fowls.

Fowls on the farm should in the very
nature Of things be the most profitable
Of all fowls. They cost little to feed
and the space they range over costs no
more on account Of the presence of the
fowls. Most Of them have free range
and forage for their food; this is profit
able for the owner and enjoyable to the
fowls
Most farm f1ocks are too small. They
might easily be increased in size with
little effort and small expenditure. II
has been said that fowl will pay d
dollar a year clear profit under such
conditions as prevail on the average
farm if they are rightly housed and
cared for This is surely large enough
a profit to be interesting to any farmer
Usually the farm fowls do not get cred
it for all they really do, for the farmer
seldom figures in the eggs and other
poultry products used by his own fam
ily. which make quite an item in the
course of year.
Not only the quantity should be in
creased, but also the quality. There are
vastly greater possibilities for profit III
pure-bred fowls than in scrubs They
look better, weigh and lay better, anG
really are better in every way.-Agri

Every time that this experiment was

The Bulletin urges that the managers
of cheese factories and creameries see
that the operator is a reliable man,
who will not only practice cleanliness,
but will insist that the factory uten-
sis and those of the patrons are in
frstclass condition. He advocates the
use of only such cans in which heavy
steel is used that have been well tin
ned, similar to those used in Europe.
Experience has proven that the cans
of the best quality, even though they
are quite expensive, are the most eco
n0mical in the long run.

SHORT METER SERMONS.


No man ever overshoots his own
moral aim.
All worthy education is training of
the will.
The dogmatic are always strong on
barking.
Counting your blessings discounts
your burdens.
Character is what we make of life's
conditions,
1t takes more than good living to
make the good life.
1t takes a lot Of piety to stand up
against prosperity.
He is a foe to truth who would try
to defend it with error.
The holy life is the one that is
healthy all the way through.
No day is long enough to waste any
of it in nursing enmity.
There never can be sufficient public
virtues in a life to balance private
vices.
Whether earth shall be like heaven
depends on whether heaven is in our
hearts.
There are many things we cannot af
ford to get for less than their full
price.
Some men think the only way tC
preserve the landmarks is to sit on the
fence.
When q man gets to arguing with
his conscience you may be sure his ap-
petites are busy.
The minister who is thinking all the
time Of the 1imelight cannot do much
for the lives of men.

IMMoRrAL1TY OF FRIENDSHIP.


BY Henry z. Cope.
THAT where I am ye may be Also"
John IA
Friends go on before, but friendships
abide. The grave cuts no chasm ;
through love and through the dark door
of death runs warm and holds firm the
cable of affection.
No voice may come to Us; no eyes
look into ours years may dim the
memory of fec lures, but still within us
is this cherished treasure OF their love
and firm as eternity the faith that they
love us still.
We plant the flowers on the mounds
in the churchyard not because we ever
think they are lying there, but because
our love for them must find some ex-
preston yelling up within it must
work itself out at hands and finger tips.
Blinded by tears, watering those flow
ers, we weep not with sorrow that they
are gone, but with surfeit of emotion.
more the pain of JOY than of bitter
ness, that we can thus in such little
way express our love to them.
Eere is a form of friendship alto
geGher unaffected by the passing of the
years or by the tides of fortune. 1t
has laid hold on that which is eternal.
It's bonds bind not flesh nor clay, but
spirit to spirit and heart to heart
Friendship defies the fading leaf, the
whitening cheek, the devouring worm
its possessions are In personality, its
treasures are beyond moth and rust and

any harm we should know it. The
FOREST Service proposes to find out
just now much, If any, and when wind,
breaks increase crop yields Instru.
ments will be used to measure heat and
cold, moisture and dryness, both above
and below ground; to register the force
or the wind near the windbreaks and
some distance away to measure light
intensity and take note of the effects OF
shade; to register frosts at different
distances from the trees and to keen
account Of the effect Of windbreaks on
the snow which covers the ground to
leeWard in winter. Many other meas
urements and tests will be made and
elaborate data will be collected by ex
perts who will have charge of the in
Yest1gation. Corn will be the first crop
studied behind windbreaks. Corn is O
particularly good crop to experiment
with because it is easily injured by
hot, dry winds, will not stand shading
and is very sensitive to frosts.
II it is found, as is generally sup
posed, that windbreaks are a decided
advantage to crop yields, it will be an
easy matter for the farmer to plant
trees in his fence rows or along the
sides Of his fields toward the prevail
ing winds and thus protect his crops as
we'll as produce valuable crop Of tim
Der. In view of the fact that our tim
Der supply is rapidly waning it stands
every farmer in hand to plant some
trees and to maintain the wood lots
upon his farm, SO if windbreaks can be
used to advantage, he can easily make
the trees he plants serve a double pur'
pose. The results Of the investigation
will be awaited with interest.-Farm

It comes to pass that some of us have
the best part of ourselves over there,
and all Of us are made more tender by
thoughts of unseen eyes that look down
on us, measuring us with hearts freed
from the bias and lusts of the world
we yet are In.
We need not worry whether we will
know them again, those friends whose
faces ightened ours in days gone by,
for though they be changed to a
seraph's beauty, we shall see not their
faces, but their affection. He lives yet
preservation and Identification. This
we all know, who hold deep within us
the friendships Of those who are living
in larger life, that love can never die,
that affection enlarges despite the de
Gays Of time and grave, and that some
thing of the self which is the basis Of
friendship Is immortal.
This sense Of the persistence Of
friendship is more than state Of feel
ing; it is the first flower Of immortal
ity; 1t is the eternal and divine in us
answering to eternal and divine in lives
that have been loosed from our limita
tions. 1t has nothing to do with al
legged communications from the other
strengthening sense that the web Of
love cannot be cut by the keen edge of
death, that friendships abide through
all, that love Is immortal and loving
the measure Of our Immortality.
No wonder the immortal hope burns
low when unfed by this secret supply;
no wonder men doubt the future, when
their hearts find no vital contact with
it's life, when they must depend on
what the head may reason from analy-
ses and probabilities.
I am not worried as to life beyond,
because I know there is love beyond.
The only going out from life I need to
fear would be going out into world
where love was not. Precise plans Of
eternal redemption lie beyond my rea-
soning, but on the fact Of infinite
friendship I rest and know that the
eternal affection will find me and teach
me the larger life Of the world where
love shall have its liberty and shall
be the law of all.
l know not where I shall meet those
friends, where father and mother and
child will wait, but love light, that
burns clear within, will lead me to
them and shall know them by that
light. Love will come into its own;
friendship into it's fullness. The bar
riers will have been broken down. We
shall know even as we are known, for
we shall love even as he loves.
So what can I do better in these days
than cherish this hope, magnify this
life OF loving, make more friends that
| may have greater fullness Of living
there, and If the great hope &c that life
be this free fullness Of friendship, bring
into this drear world as much Of that
life as I may by being good friend to
as many as I may?

The ,IolIv Fat Man.

When you meet bow-legged man
in the street, do you stop him and
ask how It feels to walk that way?
On being introduced to a man with
a face like an inverted comic sup
plement, do you condole with him on
being so homely? Do you recommend
to the sallow man sitting next you
in a car tonic for his liver? At
luncheon do you hint to the puffy-eyed,
red-nosed stranger opposite you that
he ought to get on the water wagon
OF course you don't! You would not
be so impolite. You might hurt their
feelings.
But when you meet fat man, it's
different Everybody recognizes him
as legitimate prey He Is a butt for
jokes, a subject for coincidence, an oh.
ject for advice. Even the man SO
thin that he does not know whether
it is his back or his stomach that
hurts him, takes it for granted that
he is the fat mans ideal, and in
sists on giving him advice on how to
reduce. Everyone imagines that the
fat man must be unhappy because he
weighs more than the average per-
son.-Exchange

Freed from ocean-liner imitation, you
are Immediately introduced to a 200
miles-an-hour cyclone, coming from the
floor, ceiling, walls and in fact from
all sides. The floor begins to move
sideways with a quick-jerky motion
You try to steady yourself on rail,
just perceptible in the blackness.
Ouch! It's charged with electricity.
Ahead are several 6saircases and you
feel rather relieved to think you're
out of it at last. Reaching them safe
ly you start up when, without warning,
the whole contrivance begins to move
backward and forward, compelling
you to grab the rail for safety. In
darkness again, you try to make your
way through typical labyrinth of
rooms. Feeling along the wall with
one foot ahead of you to ascertain the
nearness of bottomless pits, ETC., for
your minds eye sees lots that don't
exist, you bump your nose against a
few barriers and eventually push
against wall, which gives way and
you find yourself alone in turnstile,
inclosed on all sides. When your ter
ror has reached a burning point some.
one else behind pushes the wall as you
did and you are liberated, only to
again find yourself in the midst Of
weird ghostlike cries and see skele-
tons darting hither and thither (on
pulleys). A little scream just at this
moment might be appropriate. Just
to get your mind off the terrors of the
place, the next few turns are tame,
when suddenly your feet slide out from
under you and you find yourself shoot
ing down a chute in sitting position.
Daylight ahead and once again, before
you have time to think 1t over, you've
landed among the crowds outside,
thanks to the manly strength of the
spieler, whose arms received you
where the chute ended.

resorts. In the midst of all the merry
making the dead actor is remembered,
and persons in automobiles, in car
riages, on bicycles and on foot make
a pilgrimage of devotion to the little
cemetery where he is buried. Every
conductor on the Ocean Beach trolley
line can give minute instructions for
finding the Mansfield home and the
Mansfield grave, and very often they
are required to furnish 1t. Having
left the car line and climbed hill on
Edgewood avenue, there still is q
hot, dusty walk ahead on Ocean ave-
nue. before the cemetery is reached,
but many a Mansfield admirer trudges
over it uncomplainingly. In the
lawns of the big estate gardeners are
at work who speak but little Eng

Too Much.

There had been small bank failure
in an Iowa town, and the bank had
gone into the hands of receiver. The
receiver proved to be dishonest, and
had absconded with what remained of
the funds of the institution. Expert
detectives were, however, on his track,
and he was run down in neighboring
state and taken back to the scene of
his financial exploits.
1t was about midnight that the de-
tectives arrived with their prisoner,
and Mr.. Collins, the principal de-
positor in the bank, and, therefore, the
principal loser, was awakened at his
home and informed by telephone of the
capture
He expressed his qualification and
went back to bed.
Shortly afterward he was aroused
to receive another telephone message
to the same effect, from a different
source.
This sort of thing continued to such
an extent that Collins grew very
wrathy; so that, when he answered
the phone bell for the last time, he
was in anything but an amiable frame
of mind.
Hello, Collins" came over the wire
''Yes. What do you want?"
Collins, this is Deputy Sheriff
Myers. We've caught that runaway
receiver. Is there anything you'd ike
to have me do, personally, in the mat
ter?"
"Yes!" roared Collins, hang up the
receiver! Sunday Maya,
zine.
