ALFALFA 3 LINE

We have found out a good many
things about Alfalfa on our farm.
Some of them may help you. No other
forage crop requires so much lime
in the soil as does Alfalfa. The young
plants are very tender and are apt
to be killed by weeds during their
early stages iof growth. Alfalfa is
often killed by overfiows from streams
"a well drained soil is essential.
Well rotted barnyard manure is the
most satisfactory fertilizer as fresh
manure is apt to carry too many
weeds. The time of seeding Alfalfa
varies but late sumemr is usually best
in the East and South, while spring
is the time in the irrigated and semi
arid sections of the West, and also in
the North Better experiments on a
small acerage.-C. M. C..

crossed with Alexander Gold Stand
ard. Last years prize winner is the
most perfectly formed ear of the two,
though it requires q careful judge to
distinguish the points Of superiority.
The trophy awarded to Mr.. James
was made by Tiffany. of New York,
for Mr.. W.. X. Kellogg, at q cost OF
$1,000. It is made OF Sterling silver
bronze and enamels, and is q truly ar
stistic creation. It stands 80 inches in
height. Mr.. Kellogg's interest in
corn growing can be understood when
it is stated that the kellogg Toasted
Corn Flake Co., Of which he is presi-
dent, has an output, requiring 10000
bushels of corn a day, raw product
for its manufacture. A peculiar fea-
ture is that while the Kellogg pro-
duct is made exclusively from select
ing white corn, the Kellogg throphy
has been won each time by a yellow
corn exhibit. The trophy is offered
for annual competition until won
twice by the same grower.

the award was made, vas an event of

Toasted Corn Flake Co., Of Battle

Thousands of ears of corn from all
parts of the country and of all varie-
ties were entered in the competition.
The selection of the grand champion
Sweep stakes and the award of the
Kellogg trophy were made on general
points of superiority.
The ear of corn grown by Mr.. James
is of Reds Yellow Dent variety. 1t is
10 inches long, z IL inches in cir
conference, and has 20 rows of ker-
nels. 6 to the inch in the row, aver
age 5-8 of an inch in depth, 5-16 of an
inch in width. 1t is indeed a very
correct type of yellow dent corn.
Mr.. James, the winner, is a vigor-
Gus farmer about 40 years of age and
of pleasing personality, a man who
has given careful study to corn cul7
ture, and who has achieved his sue
cess as a grand champion winner
only by years of hard work and pains
taking seed selection and careful
breeding from season to season.
illinois growers are especially elat-
ed over the result for the reason that
this is the first time in four years that
the honors have been wrested from the
state of Indiana. Last years cham
pion "a the first winner Of the KEEL
logg trophy, was grown by Mr.. Fred
C. Palm, OF Newton, Ind. It was

WHAT DOES FRESHNESS REALLY
lean

Flowers plucked yesterday, left in the
living room, will not be found as fresh
today as those plucked even days before
which have been kept protected from the
atmosphere and dust.
Exactly the same thing is true of
cooking fats. Most of them are packed
in tubs or loose-covered pals exposed
to the air, dust or doors, and they
quickly deteriorate in quality. Cotto-
lene, however, is packed in sealed, air
tight pals Nc matter how long it is
kept, C~ottolene is absolutely fresh-"un-

Aged SOws The Best For breeding,

ABeu 0OWS lie BEST FOR bre601ngs
An investigation at the Iowa Elk
pertinent Station to discover the in
fuence of the age of sows upon their
prolificacy and the weight and growth
of the pigs they produced, gave some
interesting results. 1t was found
for example, that Is sows bred at s
or 8 months averaged z 2-3 pigs per
litter. while IA sows about "a months
old averaged 9 6-10 pigs per litter,
and aged sows averaged 10 6-10 pigs
per litter. Pigs from the younger
sows weighed on an average 2.?o
pounds per pig; from the two-year-
old sows, 2.63, and from the aged sows
2.61 pounds. When about six weeks
old the pigs from the young SOW made
an average daily gain of 80 pounds,
while the pigs from tw~o-year-old sows
gained 40 pounds. No data is given
on the gain of the pigs fro mthe aged
sows.
Stated In another way, it was found
that the ~two-year-old sows farrowed
"a per cent more pigs than the young
sows, while the old .sews narrowed SO
per cent more. The weight of the
pigs from the ~two-year-old sows was
> per cent greater than that Of the
younger sows. while the pigs from the.
old sows We're II per cent larger than
the young sows. The pigs from the
~cWo-year-old sows made a more rapid
gain than those from the young sows.
amounting to rs per cent. In each
instance the older sows narrowed more

and their pigs made the most rapid
