Motorcycle ard Mule.

Blandinsville Star-Gazette: It was

pride OF ancestry or hope of posterity
and had to be driven thirty miles a
day in hot weather and have his tail

the mule thought he was safe, he roll

He must fight He stopped short and
for five minutes you couldn't see a

a halo of hind legs. He shut his eyes
so as to concentrate his mind on mis-

ALFALFA IN IOWA.

Early last month attention vas
called in these columns 10 the facs
that Van Buren, county farmers, On
the line OF the Rock Island railroad
between Ksokuk and Ouumwa. we're
experimenting with alfalfa with salts
factory results. II vas suggested that
Iowa farmers generally would find
alfalfa profitable crop Now comes
the Des Moines Register and Leader
with an inspiring article along the
same line. In its visE the lucky farm
or in Iowa today is the farmer Who
has an eight or ten acre field OF
alfalfa, because he Is certain 70 have
enough hay for his liye stock IN spite
OF the long term Of -procrastinased
precipitation, as Coburn Of Kansas
calls It The reports from the first
cutting OF alfalfa fields in the latter
part CT June indicate that they yield
sd quite generally from TWO to three
tons per acre OF cured hay. There
are two cuttings still TO come and
there Is reason TO believe that The
average acre Of this forage crop viii
yield somewhere about five tons Of
haY. or better After that, the alfalfa
fields viii furnish some pasturage-
In noting these things the Register
and Leader takes occasion TO say:
There isn't farm in Iowa that
cannot grow alfalfa successfully. Ii
has been tried in every kind OF Iowa
soil and il has thriyed in each
Splendid fields OF il may be found in
every section OF the state. and ex-
periencs iustiles the statement that
with patience and care in cultivation
q stand OF alfalfa may be secured any
where as easily as stand Of clover
or timothy.
There isn't q farmer in Iowa who
should not grow alfalfa. He needs
this crop, because IL will give him
larger profit than any other crop he
may put in. The soil needs II, be-
cause alfalfa puts into il great guam
titles Of nitrogen, an element that
rich farm land needs. The live stock
needs it, because alfalfa is rich in
proteids and they are necessary to
balance the corn ration for cattle and
hogs. Not many years from now the
Iowa farmer will look back and won
der that he was ever so foolish as not
10 give alfalfa place among his
crops

Its forty miles to water

I'm leaving of this d country
And leaving it for good"

That is not very nice and we do
not like to print these authorizations
in this paper, but it is very expressive.
Iowa people have had it rubbed into
them so much that they were losing
population that now and then one
likes to read something on the other
side. Those movers were simply
not prepared to stay in a dry country.
They were induced TO cross the Mis-
souri, river under Influences. They
were told that dry farming could
be carried on even in the bad lands
and they have been disillusioned. A
dry country is all right In the years
when it rains, but it is different when
it doesn't rain.
If those movers with their pro-
fame signs should come back to Iowa,
let no questions be asked and let
them not be tainted with the fact
that they have made mistakes. Iowa
Ia ready and eager to welcome back
all its prodigals and like the father
in the Bible account, we are willing
TO kill the fatted calf and to ask nc
explanations.

Fears Canadian Reciprocity.

Monmouth Atlas: This is an agri-
cultural country and the Atlas be-
lieves In protection.
1t fears the outcome of Canadian
reciprocity. and while it believes in
driving a good bargain it fears the
trade with Canada may let down the
protection bars.
Reciprocity as advocated by McKin-
ley and Blaine did not anticipate the
wholesale schedule that in the case
of Canadian reciprocity covers about
all that the farmer produces.

SCHOOLS TEACH CATTLE TESTS
Pupils Of Chase County High School
Tell Farmers Which Are His
Profitable Cows.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, Oct. 81
The Chase county high school agric.
ultural class is making it easy for
farmers and dairymen of this county
to ascertain which of the mich cows
in their herds are profitable and
which are simply "boarders,' by test
ing free of charge all samples of milk
and cream which may be sent to
the school. So far the tests have
varied from 1.3 to 6.1 per cent butter
fat and have shown the farmers
some surprising results.
Not only will the agricultural class
test all samples which may be
brought in, but it will go to any
schoolhouse or farm in the county
and do the work upon the request of
the farmers.
