We want Bro Bentley to distinctly understand

Not being specialist on the subject Of
worms we cannot undertake to decide dis

which their denizens are afflicted, but we
are reliably informed that the druggists

contests for the girls as well, with
prizes for baking and sewing.
In all the United States there can
not be found finer army of young
people than those enrolled in the
junior extension work of the state
college. They constitute the very
choicest boyhood and girlhood Of
every community in which the work
has been organized. They are keen,
bright boys and girls, eager for a
larger knowledge of farming and
home work. The work is giving them
a new interest in their communities;
social life that is wholesome wher-
ever local clubs have been organized;
and it is making farm life more at
tractive, because it is demonstrating to
them that farming means head work
IS we'll as physical effort.
There are thousands of other boys
and girls in Iowa who would find It
profitable to join in this great educa-
tional movement. It costs nothing,
except little time and thoughtful
ness. The extension department Of
the college stands ready to help every
boy and girl who is interested enough
to write to Ames about it.

Sell Timothy and Buy Alfalfa.

The wise farmer who has dairy
herd will sell his timothy hay and
buy alfalfa, if he does not grow any
of the latter. 1t will do his pocket
book good and increase the produc-
tivity of his cows.
Choice timothy hay is quoted at $25
per ton and more in the Chicago mar
ket. Alfalfa hay was quoted at
something like $14 or SIS recently in
Waterloo. It is certain that the Iowa
farmer will be able to get at least
ton for ton of alfalfa for his timothy,
and probably more. As feed for
cows, alfalfa is worth three or four
times as much as timothy hay. Ex-
periments at the Iowa Agricultural
Experiment Station have shown that.
Timothy has only about per cent Of
digestible proteins and alfalfa has II
per cent. Cows will not do we'll on
timothy hay and it is wasteful to feed
it to them; they will become highly
productive on alfalfa, when it is fed
properly. Dat straw is about as good
for cows as timothy and much
cheaper.
The farmer who sells his timothy,
therefore, will get probably more ton
mage of alfalfa for it and fodder that
is worth several times as much for
his cows. If he buys his alfalfa now
and sells his timothy in mid-winter,
he will make his profit still larger.
