Bedeclled with signal flags and
with the guns of Fort Wadsworth and
Fort Hamilton booming out in well
come. the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria
glided into quarantine at 1888 am,
today. Immediately behind the big
liner came Six ships of the United
States navy with the big battleship
South Carolina in the van. while at
anchor in the roadstead awaiting her
coming was the United States dis
patch boat Dolphin with the secre-
tary of the navy on board.
Mrs. Roosevelt First to Leave.
Mrs. Roosevelt was the first to
come down the gangplank from the
Kaiserin Victoria to the revenue cut
ter Manhattan. In moment she had
thrown her arms about her children,
Archie and Quentin, and effusively
kissed and hugged both of them. She
next greeted Theodore Roosevelt, Jr,
and his fiance. Miss Eleanor AleXan-
der.
Mr. Roosevelt made flying leap tc
the deck of the Manhattan, and,
with the exuberance and spirit of a
schoolboy. he slapped his son Theo-
dore on the back He then turned to
Miss Alexander and kissed her. He
took up Quentin and Archie in his
arms and gave them resounding
smacks.
These greetings over, Mr. Roose-
welt, with Collector of the Port Loeb
at his side, extended cordial greet
ings to the others on board the Man
haitian. He shook hands with every
body, including the members of the
crew.
Naval Parade in Motion.
There was more firing of big guns
when Mr.. Roosevelt left the Manhat-
tan for the cutter Androscoggin.
Then there was comparative quiet
while in the upper bay patrol boats
darted back and forth among the
hundreds of craft of every descrip
tion, marshalling them into line for
the great parade.
The United States steamship Dol
phin, leading the parade and closely
followed by the Androscoggin, got
away at IL minutes past 8 o'clock.
The first address of welcome pre-
sented to Mr.. Roosevelt was handed
him by the boarding pilot on behalf
of the Pilots Association. This as
Sociation was the last to speed the
colonel on his departure from New
York last year.
Health Officer Doty was the first OF
those from the shore to pass their re-
spects to Mr.. Roosevelt.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
Congressman Nicolas Longworth of
Ohio and Captain Budd boarded the
Kaiserin Victoria from the Manhat-
tan and were received by Mr.. Roose-
welt in his stateroom.

Feed the small chicks some green
food every day and keep fine grit and
charcoal before them. Very good re-
suits may be obtained by feeding 2
percent bone meal or wood ashes in a
bran mash, moistening the BRAN with
skim milk.

Of eggs, CD better health.
The same care and attention given
our old farm yard breeds will often
produce the results given by the new
breed.
Get rid of extra cocks and weaklings;
select the healthy, active. early-laying
pullets and keep their eggs for breed
ing purposes. Do not use eggs from
the whole flock for Matching.
To preserve eggs, place in a glazed
vessel and cover them with water glass.
In buying the water glass secure direc-
lions as to the quantity Of water to
add. This is best method for preserv-
ing eggs known up to the present.
Chickens do not like to remain in

Milo should have the same place as a
feed grain in dry land farming in east
ern Colorado that corn has in Iowa and
Illinois. 1t has nearly the same COM
position as corn, like feeding qualities
and can be used satisfactorily for the
feeding of every class of farm animal TO
which corn can be fed.
Milo, like corn, contains an excess OF
starch and is deficient in protein When
fed to growing animals or animals Civ
ing milk. it should be supplemented
with some feed rich in protein. Green
cured alfalfa hay, .ay made from sweet
clover cut when the first bloom appears
and the hay or grain from field peas
can be grown by the dry land farmer
to feed with milo. Bran. shorts and lin
seed or cottonseed meals may be pur-
chased and fed for the same purpose.
Milo is a constipating feed. and ami
mails fed milo without any laxative
feed for a considerable time get off
feed and out of condition, with rough

from four to six weeks and then begin
to look out of condition and get so they

For Work Horses.
Horses doing heavy farm work should
be given three good feeds of milo grain
a day 1t is usually fed in the head,
one-half more heads being given than
would be given ears of corn.
Most teamsters prefer to feed milo in
the head, cutting the main stem off
close to the head. The main stem of
the head and the many little stems to
which the seeds are attached force the
horse to do a large amount of chewing
before the grain can be swallowed, and
this masticatiQn grinds the grain and
mixes it with The saliva, increasing the
proportion digested.
The seeds of milo are small and when
the threshed grain is fed to horses, it
is chewed very little and much of the
seed passes through undigested. Ground
milo makes a good horse feed.

melons too large or too small for fancy
grade, No. 2 grade containing all the
remainder of salabIe melons The No
grade should be of nearly she quality as
fancy grade, but may contain odd sizes,
though the melons in the same pack
age should be nearly uniform
The amount and character OF the net
ting offers a good basis for Judging the
quality. On the fancy grades this
should appear like WhipcOrdS, the
denser and more fully developed it is
the better the quality.
Grading 3seIons.
The No. / grade may include we'll
melted melons with netting not so well
defined and off-sizes of the best netteo
ones. Those with less, but we'll de-
veloped, netting are graded as No. 2.
The extent of development of the net
ting is more important tran the amount
of netting in deciding between No. 2 and
cuIls. Poorly developed netting and
melons, without are claxsed as culls.
Overripe melons of fine quality or
cracked ones would spoil in transit and
sh1Ild be classed as culls.
AS the season advances, the vines
become less hardy and the grading
should become more severe, until No. 1
and fancy grades are no longer shipped
and only NO. are placed on the market
The closer grading will cause the later
season No. to be of a better grade
than those of the same grade shipped
earlier in the sea%on- a number of
melons should be tested every day, so
that if conditions change like the ad-
vent of a period of rains or lack Of
water in the river, the grading may be
changed accordingly.
Different Valley Grades.
Three grades of melons are recOg
nized by the Mesilla Valley shippers:
Fancy. which runs 40 melons to the
crate; jumbo and pony. Last year the
acreage in muskmelons was estimated
to have been between 1900 and 1000
acres, but this seasons crop will be
raised on sons 900 acres. The shippers
are H Woods Co. of Chicago, represent
ed by w. S. Gillian and the Lyons

suits of this seasons attempt al sue
cessfuI melon growing in the Mesilla
valley. Last years results were disap
pointing in the extreme. but the failure
is attributed to untOward conditions that
should have no permanent influence
upon this promising industry. Many
growers have shown their faith in the
possibilities of muskmelOn culture in
this region by planting a considerable
acreage again this year
OF all the garden vegetables the can
talOupe is the most delicious when
grown under the proper soil and eli
matte conditions. When irrigated too
much its fine flavor tends to become in
sipid. but where just sufficient water is
given there is no region that can SUR
pass this one in the production of we'll
formed, sweet-tasting muSkmelOnS The
variety grown here and in the greater
part of the United States belongs to
Cucumis reticulatus, or the nutmeg
or Melted type. The variety Cantalu
pensis, of the muSkmelOn, named after
the castle Of CantalupO, in Italy, where
first grown, have hard and warty rinds
and. although the word cantaloupe is
much used, are very little grown in
this country.
The Packing.
There are many advantages in pack
ing muskmelons and all fruits and veg
gables in grades. There is a decided
increase in appearance, in ability to bear
transportation without injury, in SELL
ing price and ease in selling. a mixed
lot of melons will usually bring as
much as the smaller ones of the lot
would bring if sold separately, and one
loses the increased price obtainable by
separating the large ones into another
grade. When packed at a cool temper
allure their keeping qualities are in
creased and the flavor is retained bet
ter.
Illinois Bulletin 124 gives few sug-
gesfIons in regard to grading musk
melons: The quality of the melon pri-
mariIy determines the grade; the sizes
must be normal and the packing per-
feet. The No. grade may include

When To Cut Alfalfa

as successful as they might De oy
slightly varying their methods?
Alfalfa leaves contain 10 TO so percent
of the total protein of the plant and in
harvesting very often as much as 10
to 80 percent OF these may be lost. When
we consider that the leaves are the i'm
portant part of the alfalfa. that they are
worth as much as bran and four times
as much as the stem in feeding value,
we can form an idea of the loss result
ing from leaving 500 to 500 pounds of
leaves for every. ton of hay on the
ground after each haying. After the
tenth bloom the protein content of al
falfa falls rapidly and has been known
TO decrease from 1875 percent in tenth
bloom to IA percent when in full
bloom. After the half bloom j. over
the leaves drop off easily, so if one
wishes to make hay of the best feeding
value with the minimum amount Of loss
of leaves, it is best TO cut as soon after
the tenth bloom as practicable.
