STOCK FOODS.

Used in a pretty reputable agricultural
paper the other day claimed to double
the milk and butter when fed to milk
cows and to fatten hogs and beef cat

classes Of elements which these stock
foods contain which entitle them to
any consideration at all namely.
ground alfalfa and grains In some
form and. on the other hand. tonics
such as salt. spices and roots. The
real food content can be bought vastly
cheaper when not disguised under a
fancy name and wrapper. and the
same II true Of most Of the tonic ele-
ments of such prepared foods. In a
series Of feeding experiments made by
one agricultural college recently it was
found that pen Of fattening pigs that
were given rations Of some Of the lead
ing stock foods did not make az rapid
gains as did those that were not given
any at all and no more OF other foods.
In view Of such a showing. it Is safe
to brand such claims as the above as
bosh pure and simple. and the feeder
who bites at such a bait Is also simple.

A reader OF these notes who has sue.

three acre patch Of alfalfa in lau-
tude and section where practically
none Of the legume has been thus far
grown gives ~ some account Of the
method he followed. and we present 1t
here In the idea that 1t may be helpful
to some who have not had any expert
ence with II. The patch In question
had been In clover which was ma.
nured in the spring and planted to
corn the year before the alfalfa was
sowed. In the fall the corn was har-
vested. and the following spring the
patch was left until about June !.
when it was plowed. following the ap-
plication Of about seven tons OF ma
nure per acre. 1t was made fine with
a harrow and dragged at intervals to
terminate and destroy weed seed until
the first week in August. when the
seed was sown at the rate of twenty
pounds per acre. Our friend broad.

would be well worth while to do so.
He made two cuttings Of this alfalfa
last season. made one the middle OF
June this year and win make a second
in few days. The patch yielded bet
ter than two tons per acre the first
cutting. when timothy and clover
meadows in the neighborhood were
yielding a scant three-quarters Of ton
Of hay per acre. Our friend harvested
no other crop from the patch the sea-
son when he started the patch. but be-

been removed would give even better
results than the plan he followed. as
It would not result in the loss of a crop

or three others factors on which sue
cess in growing alfalfa depends. One
Of these Is q well drained subsoil in
which the water table does not lie
nearer than five or six feet to the sur
face. A porous subsoil is preferable,
but it should not be gravelly. II pos
sible poultry should have the range Of
the alfalfa patch, as in a dry year
grasshoppers are very likely to gobble
the young plants. Sometimes the soil
may be sour. in which case it should
be sweetened by the application OF two
or three tons Of ground limestone per
acre disked in before sowing the seed.
Good seed costs round price, but new
ertheless nothing but the best should
be used. for in the long run it is econ

TEXAS DEFEATS PROHIBITION
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Strange things. happen in Texas. but
the most curious is the wonderful
prohibition campaign that has just
come to an end with the defeat of
statewide prohibition by about 5000
votes in total poll OF about $4,000
the second largest vote ever cast in
the commonwealth. The vote on Sat
urday last was on the proposal to
adopt an amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for statewide prohibi-
ton. One of the most curious fea-
lures of the decision was that consti-
tuNonal, statewide prohibition was
defeated by the votes Of those who
lived in counties now dry" under To-
cal option. 1t is even contended that
the votes which really defeated prohi-
bition were cast by men living in
dry" counties who had themselves
supported county option. They Tear
ed that statewide prohibition would
be ineffective.

ENSlLAGE As A RATION FOR
STEERS.

It has been generally conceded for
years past that the sil0 IL a proper
adjunct OF the dairy in providing
succulent ration for winter. Not until
recently. however, has it also come
to be realized as just as valuable an
aid in fitting steers for market. The
has carried on feeding tests with ST.
lage for several years past and has
lately published the data gathered.
Among facts which should be Of value
to every feeder of steers. 1t was found
that when corn silage was added to a
ration OF shelled corn, cottonseed meal
and clover hay the result was a more
rapid US we'll as a cheaper gain and
higher finish on the cattle; that cat
tie fed corn silage shed their coats
earlier in the spring: that smaller
quantity OF grain was consumed when
silage was fed: that steers receiving
cottonseed meal and corn siIage fatten-
ed more rapidly. required less finish.
distributed the fat more evenly and
brought a higher market price than
similar cattle that did not receive the
two feeds. In feeding operations car
ried on during the winter of 1869
it was. found that corn had the fol-
lowing values when fed in combina-
ton with the following feeds: With
clover hay, 1871 cents; with clover hay
and cottonseed meal, 1913: with clover
hay. cottonseed meal and corn silage,
S5.S cents. and with cottonseed meal
and corn silage. 96.7 cents per bushei.
TWO IMPORTANT CONDITIONS.
Two points are important in the sue
cessful canning Of vegetables. such as
peas and corn-the thorough steriliz-
ing Of the product in the can by boil
ing in the sealed containers in boiler
with rack beneath cans for about
three hours. and. second. having COW
ers that are absolutely air tight.
Many a housewife has worked hard
over a hot Gre to put 10 these vege-
tables only to find in few days that
the cans were fermenting bacteria
working) and all her work gone for
naught. This condition is due to one
of the two things referred to-failure
to properly kill all bacterial life By
boiling or leaky covers which admit
ted bacteria after the cans had cooled.
In the putting up OF corn. il one does
not wish to run the risk of canning.
an excellent method is cooking the
corn on the cob for about twenty min
utes, cutting from cob. then mixing
salt with the corn at the rate OF one
part to four of corn and packing in
open stone Jars. covering with cloth
and plate. as one would sailed cucum-
Der pickleS- Such picked corn has to
be freshened. but the tenderness and
flavor are preserved very well in the
process
