TO quote professor of the University of Cali
fornia, alfalfa is three times as rich food
as the best wheat hay. 1t is twice good as
the best oat hay. 1t is one a half times better
than barley
Those who have had practical experience in
the feeding of alfalfa and who have fed intelli-
gentry can verify the above, but in spite of
inns Iact IL is perhaps fitting at the present
caution to those who are directly interested in
etlher the production consumption of alfalfa,
or who contemplate interesting themselves.
because alfalfa is quoted being three
does not necessarily follow that it should sell
TOT three times as much wheat hay. A pro-
Queer should not be led to believe that when
me value of alfalfa is generally known it will
kinds of hay. On the other hand, the consumer
should not be led to believe that he must soon
pay extreme prices for what alfalfa he may
wish TO USE The value of the proposition lies
In the fact that ii can be produced cheapy and
at a moderate price to the consumer
Afalfa hay ground into meal has been
round to be very economical feed for many
purposes for in pulverized condition it is more
easily digested and in this way by preventing
waste and by saving energy that would other
wise be expended in chewing, it is a very valu-
able feed for dairy stock. etc
With the development of the consumption
OF altaita meal, better and cheaper processes for
grinding have been invented until now it be
readlly stated that with ordinarily good crops
Alfalfa meal can now be sold at from sits to
SIS per ton, delivered and with the further
development of economic grinding it is antici-
pated that these figures win be still further re-
duced.
The future development of the state there
fore, promises much to the dairyman with pleD-
tifui supplies of low priced but valuable feed.

MARKET GOES
THROUGH MOODS

NEW YORK, May 9.-The stock
market went through many varia-
tions of speculative temper today
and. showed a feeling of hesita-
ton in the retention of any of its
moods until the firmness of the
final advance.
Business in London had got well
under way before the opening
here, giving time to demonstrate
the feeling of confidence there
in the ability TO resist the de-
preston of the king of England's
death. Threats of the London
financial markets depression was
due partly to the opinion formed
over the Sunday interval that
something like a truce would be
adopted in the bitter political con-
test being waged over legislative
questions affecting the British
government A postponement in
volved. il was felt, would do much
to bring security to the financial
markets.
Large Importance was attached
to the government report on the
May 1st condition of wheat crops
as a factor in shaping opinions.
The first reaction in stocks from
the reflected London strength was
due TO advance fears of a poor
report Selling by western ware
houses on that account wiped out
about all the opening gains. Quick
changes followed the actual pub
LEGATION.
Great Importance was attached
to the April Improvement in con-
dition reported. in view of the
dangerous weather conditions
which have existed. \ The pro-
pitious planting conditions for
spring wheat also, as well as the
opportunity for replanting of
abandoned winter wheat acreage
and subsequent improvement of
the crop before harvest, inclined
to a favorable speculative view of
the outlook in spite of the de-
crease OF about 100000 bushels

the result being to arouse fear
OF hitch in the business. Southern
Pacific, on the other hand. was
aggressively strong from the re-
vival of reports of an intended
extra distribution to stock holders
of the oil assets of the company.
The unfavorable copper sta
tistics for April had been abund
antly foreseen and there was a
disposition to look on them as
past influences. Reports of some
recent large sales of the metal at
the price concessions were of more
effect. The strong tone of
