George Washington on the steps of the,

streets, New York City. This splendid
likeness Of the Father Of His Country

when he took the oath of Office on April
80, 17S9. Furthermore. 1t marks the

Alfalfa Is not the name of particu-
lar brand Of political new thought in
the Prairie States, as certain benighted
Fasteners have supposed. Nor is 1t
the name Of an Indian tribe. The
word comes from the same language
whence we get algebra, alchemy, alco-
hol and host of other substantiyes.
1t is good Arabic, and means the best
fodder. The Spaniards introduced the
name and the thing Into the Western
Hemisphere, and some Of 1t is sup-
posed to have come up to us from Old
Mexico long while ago. In 1854 Its
successful cultivation began In the
West, when seed was brought to San
Francisco from Chill.
The East ought to know more about
alfalfa than 1t does, for 1t has been
wrestling with the problem Of growing
1t for more than two centuries. But

as excellent instructions regarding the

many as thousand acres are devoted
to alfalfa.

Data regarding the character of the

making such foods ut home are sum

authors conclusions follow:
Stock foods are Of no benefit to
healthy animals when fed according to
manufacturers directions either as to
increasing the digcstibillty of the feed
eaten or rendering 1t more effective for
production Of meat, milk, wool, etc.
They are of no benefit as cure-all

value is found therein, the bulk Of the
foods consisting of filler which pos
sesses no medicinal properties what

Exorbltant prices are charged for
these foods. as is natural, considering
the extensive advertising the manufac-
turers are doing, md the liberal COM
missions which they pay agents and
dealers. The large sales Of stock foods
are doubtless mainly to be attributed
to These facts.
By adopting a liberal system Of feed
ing farm animals and furnishing a va
riety Of feeds, good results may be OBJ
tained without resorttng to stock foods
of any kind. If a farmer believes 1t is
necessary to feed stock foods at times,
he can purchase the ingredients at a
drug store and make his own stock
foods at fraction Of the cost charged
for them by the manufacturers. He
will then have the additional satisfac-

Rations I'm Beef Production.
Some of the general conclusions
drawn from tests il, ratlons for beef
production by the Nebraska Station fol-
low:
Alfalfa hay with corn alone gives
large and profitable gains.
THE use OF well-cured corn slower
with alfalfa and corn, while 1t may not
produce larger gains, will make the
gains less costly because Of its low
market value, thereby increasing the
profits over corn and alfalfa alone.
The results of two experiments indi-
cate that linseed meal is a little more
valuable than wheat bran for supple
menting corn when fed with prairie hay
or corn slower.
When alfalfa Is made at least half
OF the roughness with prairie hay or
corn slower, good gains may be made
and Mt less cost than when no alfalfa is
FED, the protein being supplied by the
use of linseed meal. In other words, 1t
is possible to grow protein on the farm
Mt q price much below what 1t will cost
on the market In the form Of some COM
mercial protein food.
The results Of single experiment
In which but little more than bali a full
feed of corn was supplied two lots Of
fattening steers suggest the possibility
OF making a larger use Of hay in fin
ishing cattle for market than is ordi-
narily made and at less cost, especially
where hay is relatively low and corn
high in price.
From commercial point OF view the
results of this entire series of expert
ments go to show that cattle feeding
can be made profitable when discretion
is used in the selection Of foods for the
ration"
