ALFALFA CULTURE.
Some Facts Regarding II as Feed for
Cattle, sheep and Hogs.


Alfalfa is not intended in the main
as pasture crop; that II to say, cat

and animals that do not chew the cud

greater profit in other ways. One of
these ways is to cut 1t up and feed 1t
uncured. II so used, slightly wilted,

bloat A piece Of land in alfalfa can
be cut from one side to the other and

get through from one side Of the field

Aside from its value as forage crop
1t has almost equal value as a renova.
tor, renewer and fertilizer of the
soil. Properly, man should have
part of his farm In alfalfa while he is
raising other crops on the remainder,
and after field has been in alfalfa
for four or five years he should plow
It up and plant other crops and SOW
the rest of the land In alfalfa, and
keep up that sort OF rotation.
One of the most wonderful things
about this plant is its root system. No

Patience and energy we'll applied

An indiscriminate mixing of breeds
will produce scrubs.

Scrubs among sheep are just as bad

The earlier the fat sheep are put

Sunshine is as valuable In the barn

building upon that plan, and they are
doing more under It in year than
they ever did In ten years thereto

the ranks Of state aid states, and so
the good work goes on.
There is a double advantage in
building under this PLAN the first Is
a larger property list to assess for the
purpose; the second. the roads must
be built under a capable engineer,
which insures proper construction.
Those in position to know generally
agree that the money spent by the
local road officials Is often one-half to
three-fourths wasted. II they do the
right thing, they are apt to do 1t at the
wrong time. State aid solves this
problem.

not take away from the locality its

This plan has worked and is work

Fifteen years ago New Jersey awak-
ened to the fact that the highways
are public property and the state owes
a duty to them. After bitter con-
test, in which the farmers who we're
to be the greatest beneficiaries, almost
to man opposed the plan, they began
to build roads by state aid. When
they had had the experience of build
ing roads, using them and paying for
them, and found how state aid had
relieved their burden, more roads we're
demanded State after state has
fallen into line to improve the high

the bright steel bcak on the lofty PROV, this
boat does not appeal so successfully to the nau-
tical mind as it would seem to do to the artistic
and r~oetical one. But on the miles of canals
in the city Of Venice this craft is peculiarly
adaptable. The gondola was formerly the only
means of getting about the city, but it is now be-
ing displaced in part by small launches. The
ordinary gondola is 80 feet long and four or five
feet wide, and is fat-bottomed so that the draft
is light. The bottom rises slightly above the
water at the ends, while at the bow and stern
slender ornamental stem and stern pieces reach
to about the height of a mans breast. There is
4 covered shelter for passengers in the middle
Of the boat which is easily removable. In &C
cordance with medieval regulation %gondolas are
painted black. The gondolier stands erect with
his face toward the bow and propels the boat
with a forward stroke, making his way through
the narrow and often crowded canals with amaz-
ing deXterity.
Throughout the islands of the Pacific the ca
noe is a common sight. Strictly speaking the
canoe is a light boat designed to be propelled by
a paddle held in the hands without any fixed
support. although in some cases canoes may be

favorable condluoSS.
The canoes most commonly seen in the waters
Of the Hawaiian islands are built from a single
tree trunk followed out with an Cutrigger as seen

natives who in them often undertake long sea
VOYAGES, far out of the sight of land, and passing
from one island to another.
The canoes of Samoa are built of several
pieces of wood of irregular shape fastened to-
gether and cemented with gum to prevent their
leaking. The coasts of the mainland of Siam,
