On the afternoon of the same day
of cutting, if weather has been favor
able, the alfalfa should be raked and
put into small cocks. These cocks
should not be left standing in the
field more than two or three days
without moving, or the alfalfa plants
underneath the cocks will be partially
or completely smothered. By taking
a pitchfork and running it into cock
of alfalfa near the bottom one can
easily pull alfalfa from the place pre-
Vlously occupied. If it is exceedingly
green when cooked or rainy weather
sets in it will 'heat'' unless the cock
in opened every day or two. In favor
able weather no more difficulty will
be experienced in curing alfalfa than
in curing heavy growths of clover.
Like clover, the leaves are rich in
nitrogen, and they drop off readily
when dry, and therefore the aim of
the farmer should be to cure alfalfa
with the least possible handling. One
half of the feeding value may be lost
through the weathering and improper
handling Of the crop.
A much better quality of hay will
be secured if the crop is cured under
hay caps. Caps can be made from
light cotton duck by hemming the
edges to prevent raveling. Eyelets

FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom of Stomach Trouble Cor
rected by Good Food.

There is, with some forms of stom-
ach trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for
good appetite" A lady teacher
writes from Carthage, Mo, to ex-
plain how with good food she dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger.
81 have taught school for fifteen
years, and up to nine years ago had
good, average health. Nine years ago,
however, my health began to fail,
and continued to grow worse steadily,
in spite of Doctors prescriptions, and
everything / could do. During all this
time my appetite continued good, only
the more I ate the more l wanted TO
eat-I was always hungry.
"The first symptoms Of my break
down were a distressing nervousness
and a loss Of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally 1t amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stom-
ach troubles, which were very painful,
constipation which brought on piles,
dyspepsia and severe nervous head
aches.
"The doctors seemed powerless to
help me. said I was overworked, and
at last urged me to give up teach
ing, if wished to save my life.
"But this could not do. kept on
at it as well as could, each day grow
Ing more wretched, my wil[power
alone keeping me up, till at last a
good angel suggested that I try diet
of Grape-Nuts food, and from that
day to this have found it delicious
always appetizing and satisfying.
II owe my restoration to health to
Grape-Nuts. Ny weight has returned
and for more than two years have
been free from the nervousness, con-
stipation, piles, headaches, and all the
ailments that used to punish me so,
and have been able to work freely and
easily" Name given by Postum Co.

the fewer historical incidents connect

A Bullet chugged Into the Ground at His Feet

not being seen. Confident as to this,
he retreated openly, without making
the slightest effort to conceal his
movements, until he had regained the
scene of murder. In evidence of the
truth of his theory no further shots
were fired, and although he watched
that opposite sand bank carefully, not
the slightest movement revealed the
presence of others. That every mo-
ton he made was being observed by
keen eyes he had no doubt, but this
knowledge did not disconcert him,
now that he felt convinced fear of re-
vealment would keep his watchers at
a safe distance. Whoever they might
be they were evidently more anxious
to escape discovery than he was fear
full of attack, and possessed no desire
to take his life, unless it became
necessary to prevent recognition.
They still had every reason to believe
their attack on the wagons would be
credited to hostile Indians, and would
consider it far safer to remain con-
cealed, and thus -larbor this supposi-
ton. They could not suspect that
Keith had already stumbled upon the
truth, and was determined to verify
it.
Secure in this conception of the sit
uation, yet still keeping a wary eye
about to guard against any treacherv,
the plainsman, discoy ering a spade in
the nearest wagon, hastily dug a hole
in the sand, wrapped the dead bodies
in blankets, and deposited them there
in, piling above the mound the char
red remains of boxes as some Slight

He searched the clothing of the men,
but found little to reward the effort,
few letters which were slipped into
his pockets to be read later, some or
binary trinkets hardly worth preserv-
ing except that they might assist in
identifying the victims, and, about the
neck of the elder man. rather pc
culiar locket, containing a portrait
painted on ivory. Keith was a long
time opening this, the spring being
very i2genioGsly concealed. but upon
finally succeeding, he looked upon the
features Of a woman of middle age,
strong mature face of marked re-
fnement, exceedingly attractive still,
with smiling dark eyes. and a perfect
wealth of reddish brown hair. He
held the locket open in his hand for
several minutes, wondering who she

attack, but must guard against treach-
cry. AS he rode, his eyes never left
those far-away sand dunes, although
he perceived no movement, no black
dot even which he could conceive to
be a possible enemy. Now that he
possessed ample time for thought. the
situation became more puzzling. This
tragedy which he had accidentally
stumbled upon must have had a cause
other than blind chance. 1t was the
elimination of a plot, with some rea-
son behind more important than ordi-
nary robbery. Apparently the wagons
contained nothing of value, merely the
clothing, provisions, and ordinary
utensils OF an emigrant party. Nor
had the victims pockets been care
fully searched Only the mules had
been taken by the raiders. and they
would be small booty for such a
crime.

EXTENSION SERVICE
AT CALL OF FARMERS

Some farmers wonder how they can
get any real good from the state money
given to the agricultural college. The
services of the extension department
Of the Wisconsin Agricultural college
are at the disposal of every native
farmer. Whether it be the question
of a demonstration meeting, a prob
lem of sour soil, a sick COW or horse,
the college authorities are glad to as
sist
In order to keep in close touch with
local conditions at certain central
points in the state local demonstra-
lions and experiments are conducted.
A group of farmers of the same local
ity interested in similar lines Of ag-
riculture is made the unit for these
demonstrations as the expense and
scattered location of farmers prohibit
personal attention in all cases. This
system affords an excellent medium
for the uplift and improvement of local
districts and communities.
Then again where occasion demands,
the experiment station co-OperateS
with the local farmers in investiga-
tons and experiments in an endeavor
to solve problems of soil fertility,
crop adaptation and efficient rotation
for that district. The experts from
Madison study the conditions, map out
the tests and combine with the farm
ers in their application.
Farmers who are up against particu-
larly knotty problems upon which they
desire advice may secure it by writ
ing to the department of the station in
charge Of that subject Carefully
prepared answers to all questions are
sent to the inquirer in addition to all
available publications containing help
full information in this regard. If the
matter is of sufficient importance, one
of the experts will make personal
visit either at the expense of the sta
ton or at the joint expense of the
farmer and the station.
Bulletins and circulars containing
valuable, practical information about
the experiments and Investigations
~ issued. These publications are
sent free to residents of the state
who are interested in agriculture, and
names are placed upon the regular
mailing list upon receipt of q request
stating the line OF farming followed.

tural Experiment Station, Madison,
Wis.
The annual reports which deal with
the work of the year in all lines Of ag-
ricultural activity and technical re-
search bulletins are also available to
residents of the state. AS far as pos
sibIe the Investigations of the station
are made public through the medium
of agricultural journals and newspa-
pers.
The average farmer sadly neglects
the rich opportunities afforded by the
agricultural extension service for his
Improvement and development. Tech
nical agriculture has proved it's
value; every progressive countryman
should relize its worth and not let
skepticism and the innate desire to adj

prevent him from realizing the max

FORGOTTEN Foods.

1t is well to remember that many
plants which once were used as veg.
etables have been allowed to drop ou;
Of our bills of fare. Our forefathers.
for instance, sometimes dined off elder
top and burdock root, and the early
shoots Of the hop were considered q
great delicacy and were cooked and
eaten as asparagus. Walter Jerrold
in his Highways and Byways in
Kent" recalls a time when Kentish
children could tell of many pleasant
hours spent among the hedges in
search of the wild hop top and OF
the wholesome suppers made upon the
well earned treasure ero they learned
to think their food the better for be-

SO she plunged along for the next.
But eggs were sixteen cents there, too.

An Arrest

The Santa Fe trail was far too ex-
posed to be safely travelled alone and
in broad daylight, but Keith consid-
cred it better to put sufficient space
between himself and those whom he
felt confident were still watching his
movements from across the river.

cion his discoveries he possessed no
means of knowing. yet, conscious of
their own guilt. they might easily feel
safer if he were also put out of the
way. He had no anticipation of open

hope to accomplish nothing more
here, and the plainsman swung him
self into the saddle. He turned his
horses head eastward, and rode
away. From the deeply rutted trail
he looked back to whero the fire still
smoked in the midst Of that desolate
