GREAT CROPS FOR DAlRYMEN
Alfalfa and Corn Furnish Nutrients,
When Rightly Combined, That
Are Excellent.

When we find a dairyman that is
growing alfalfa and corn he is invari-
ably successful farmer, says Hoard's
Dairyman. These two plants furnish
nutrients. when rightly combined. that
give excellent results. Prof. w. J.
Fraser, in commenting upon them and
the use of the silo says:
The summer silo gives the best and
most economical protection of all
against drought.
One of the very greatest crops for
the dairyman, and one which is now
being successfully grown on thousands
of farms in Illinois, is alfalfa Every
dairyman should have a patch of al
falfa, and this will supply the finest
of feed when the drought has ruirod
ordinary pastures. The alfalfa at the
university yielded more than six tons
of air dry hay per acre last year.
The great advantage of corn in the
silo and alfalfa is that they not only
produce the largest yield of nutrients
per acre Of any crops. but are in the
best condition for feeding at what
ever date the pasture may fail, while
it is difficult to have a constant sup
ply of other soiling crops in the right
stage of maturity at and during the
uncertain time of the drought.
Never, under any conditions, allow
the cows to go hungry and suffer loss
of milk during the summer drought
which for several reasons is the most
trying season for the dairy herd.

BIRDS WILL PROTECT FRUIT
BY Planting Early Wild Varieties
Sonesters May Be coaxed Away
From Cultivated Trees.
Rx W. L. M,ATEE.l


Birds play very important part in
the economy of nature and by their
destruction of insects lend material
aid in keeping the balance true. Both
the farmer and the orchardist are
greatly indebted to birds for the de-
struction of insects and weed seed.
Both for practical and esthetic rea-
sons, there is demand for informa
ton as to the best method of in
creasing the bird population in re-
stricted areas, particularly on the
farms and about homes. There is a
demand also for the provisioning of
large preserves for both land and wa
ter game birds and the protection Of
crops by cultivating seed and fruit
bearing plants more useful to birds
than tosman.
Various other factors may be made
to contribute to the success of efforts
to attract birds, such as supply of
water for drinking and bathing, nest
ring boxes, protection from enemies,
and winter feeding; but the main pur-
pose is to call attention to the plants
which best serve to provide food for
birds and to draw their attention
away from cultivated crops.
Our native shrubs should be utilized
as far as possible, especially as many
Of them are not exceeded in beauty or
interest by foreign plants. Further
more, as rule they are more attrac-
tive to birds than exotics. 1t should
be borne in mind also that smoothly
trimmed hedges and the stuff trees of
formal garden are not nearly so at
tractive to birds as unframed bushes
and tangled thickets Shrubs of sterile
varieties or those closely pruned after
blooming are not sought by birds,
while those allowed to ripen fruit are
often crowded with feathered visitors.
The best shrubs and trees for at
tracing birds are those most resorted
to for food, and the extensive records
of bird food in the biological survey
make their selection an easy task
The berries of elders are eaten by
the largest number of species of birds,
| namely, 81. Raspberries and black
berries are known to be eaten by so
fruits by AZ, those of the nonpoison-
GUS sumachs by A, the various wild
cherries by 80, and blueberries by 81.
A great many other varieties which
grow in localities where these are nor
plentiful are also very attractive to
birds.
Nothing surpasses mulberries for
alluring birds away from the early
orchard fruits. Early bearing varie-
ties should be planted in numbers
and some should be selected for the
length of the fruiting season.
Where it is desired to attract birds
and afford them sanctuary at all
seasons, large variety of plants must
be used. For this purpose thickets Of
shrubs and other low growths are bet
ter than trees, since tangles of bushes
and vines afford more secure retreat
from bird enemies and are the favorite
cover of many species.

IS sILAGE GOOD FOR SWINE?
Testimony on Its Value Conflicting,
Both Favorable and UnfavorabIe
Reports Made.

The testimony concerning the valve
Of silage as food for swine is con-

On the other hand, a number OF
hog-raisers have had good success
with silage, and feed it regularly to
their swine, 1t is possible that the
difference in the quality of the silage

MARRIAGE AFTER DEATH

The marriage is reported of two
dead lovers from the Japanese village
of Shizuoka. A young couple fell in
love, and sought their parents sane
tion to their union. For some reason
this was withheld in the case of the
girl, and the broken-hearted couple
resolved to commit shinju rather than
be separated.
The two embarked on fishing boat
and when some distance from the
shore bound themselves together with
cloth brought with them for the pur-
and the matter was communicated to
pose, and threw themselves into the
sea. The following morning the
couple were missed from their homes,
the police. Later on the bodies of the
young couple were washed ashore,
and, after the official examination,
delivered to the parents On learning
of the tragedy, the mayor of the vii
lage was much affected, and calling
upon the bereaved parents, proposed
that the wedding ceremony be per-
formed over the dead bodies, so that
the deceased might be united in the
other world The parents agreed.

NOTABLE ENGINEERING FEAT

Recently a notable piece of engi-
neering work was achieved in San
Francisco, while the demolition of the
old city hall was in progress. Be
tween the violent earthquake and the
fearful fire of April, 1906, the building
was practically reduced to a mass of
ruins. So it was determined to raze
the shattered structure and construct
a new and modern hall.
Surmounting the lofty dome huge
statue Of the Goddess of Liberty has
perched for more than twenty years
past. The statue escaped unscathed
both the heavy shock and fire. This
immense metal statue is nearly twen-
ty feet in height, and, with the pedes-
tai, to which it is firmly attached,
weighs about three tons. From the
ground up to the pedestal the distance
is about $50 feet, and to the apex of
tie Goddess, is $40 feet.
AS, it was very much desired to
take down the huge statue undam-
aged and to place it in Golden Gate
park, as public souvenir of the great

took to bring it to earth without dam
age. This proved difficult and peril
GUS feat in engineering, for to bring
down, undamaged. 5000 pounds of
metal from height of $40 feet was
ponderous task However, the work
was done very successfully. BY means
of a system of derricks, steel cables,
tackle, ETC.. operated by several
donkey engines. the big statue was
loosened from its firm anchorage on
the dome's crest, and gradually low
cred to the earth. The work was done
without the slightest accident to the
statue. or to the force of men engaged
lin the task. Engineers declare that
at is a notable feat along engineering
lines, at least of that kind, and the
contractors are being warmly congrat-
ulated over the success achieved.
