ALFALFA FORAGE FOR HOGS
BY r. 3. Mumford, Director Of Agrl.
cultural Experiment Station,
University Of Missouri.

Alfalfa will give better results for
log grazing purposes than any other
forage known. 1t is a heterogeneous for.
Ggc, rich in protein and calcium. and
therefore furnishes the necessary pro
tein and mineral matter necessary for
the highest development OF bone and
muscle. II Is very excellent early
forage since it begins to grow early
IN the spring
The best results are obtained when
Il il supplemented with corn TO the
extent of one.half of a full ration. or
to the extent of two per cent of the
weight of the hogs. When alfalfa
alone Is fed, Il is about equal TO n
maintainence ration; so when corn il
fed with 1t, every pound fed will be
used for the production of grain. Al.
falfa and corn, We believe, will pro.
duce greater net profit to the farm.
or than any other combination known.
Under ordinary conditions. alfalfa
will forage from 10 to 20 shoats per
acre, a new seeding should be pas.
Iured very lightly the first season. No
larger number than ten shoats per
acre, or one SOW and her litter, should
he used. After the first season as
high as twenty head per acre or two
sows and their litters may be pas.
tured on 1t throughout the season. In
any event, 1t should not be pastured
so closely that no woody growth takes
place. A very good rule to go by is
not 10 pasture It so closely but that
one cutting OF hay may be taken of
in the fore part OF the season.

A horse confined in a field looks over
the fence at the field Just beyond and
beholds the pasture OF his dreams. The
clover in the distant field looks more
tender or more luxuriant growth, and
there seem fewer thlstles than in the
field in which he Is compelled TO Craze.
In discontent with his surroundings, he
jumps the fence and starts on brisk
trot along the road TO find the promised
land OF his hungry hopes. But he travels
along dusty roads. with the grass on
either side fenced beyond his reach, and
when he finds a field that ls open he
realizes how much OF its attractive YER
dure was do to the enchantmsnt of dis
tance, for the thistles arc many and the
grass and clover are scant. just as in
the field he left behind.
The story OF the horse that breaks away
and wanders along dusty roads Is tho
story of the man who has "a stody job,
and instead Of staying by it and looking
for the clover at his feet, cranes his
neck and wastes his time to look with
envious eyes at the clover In some other
mans field. Like tho dlscontented horse,
he jumps the fence and starts along
dusty roads with hope beating high. But
the best fields are fenced In, and when
he gets nearer to his neighbors field he
finds that his neighbor's thlstles arc
many and his rewards not as great as
they seemed in the distance.
lilo can't go back to the field no absn-
donod, and he soon begins to show the
effect of fruitlcss travel along dusty
and weary road. He becomes a man with

Il doesn't get serious. Poor man, It isn't
fair TO let him drift along straight into
serious trouble and never lift a finger TO
help him.
All men are fools where women are con-
cerned. Ten to one that little stenographer
is making your husband think he's sorry
for her, ,and he feels noble and generous
and broad-minded whenever he buys her
a bunch of posles.
It's good for a man to feel like that.
Help him to feel that way about you.
You are little and helpless and loving and
lonely too; and oh, how you do love
posles.
Don't let that helpless man OF yours
get so far away you can't call him back.
Hos drifting. drifting Look out he'll
get into deep water soon and maybe
he can't swim. Give him few lessons in
the art before he drowns befhfel lybhr

to her?
Not one word, not ono syllable. Smile
like the pleasantest kind OF a Cheshire
cat every time you meet her. IL won't bo
long before she'll begin to know why you
smile.
Don't bother with her. She can swim
ali right, and dive, too, very prettily. no
doubt, or she wouldn't be wearing such
an attractive bathing suit, do you Think
