 FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES .,
 It is certainly surprising to all of us to find Grace Butner and Rose Downs at school when the rest of us arrive and learn that they have been there for some time as they are working earnest ly to get the half holiday which was promised to the classes that have no tardiness during the month.
 One cold frosty morning when Geo. Sampson was taking weath- CT observations he accidently slipped off the roof, and cried while in the air: Ohl where will 1 be next Fall.
 We the Commercial and Fresh man babies are ever willing to stand back for the Sophomore $ as their declining years are to be respected.
 After Grace fell and broke her bracelet last Wednesday, some one from above was heard to shout. If Grace fell down would an ink-stand. Grace disgustedly demanded, 'Who was that?" The answer was, T am the guy who put the Dad-in-Dadey.

USE ALFALFA FOR PASTURES
Any Field May BE Probably Pastursd
II Proper Precautions Are Ia
ken-FIns for Hogs.

Considerable difference of opinion
exists regarding the pasturing Of al
falfa, and for this reason the following
advice from the Nebraska station WIN
be of interest:
IAN alfalfa field may be probably
pastured II proper precautions are
taken. 1t is especially valuable for
hogs, is good for horses. and II mixed
with grasses can be safely pastured by
cattle and sheep. Some farmers prac-
tice pastufing with cattle and sheep
and state that their losses from bloat
are not great enough to Offset the
value of the pasture. II pasturing II
attempted. great care should be taken
to see that the cattle are not hungry
when turned on the pasture and that
they have a sufficient supply of other
forage available. The danger from
bloat is always present.
Alfalfa should never be pastured
the first year, and should never be-
pastured heavily. 1t Is better to pas
ture lightly enough to allow at least
two cuttings to be made during the
season, and better results can be Sc
cured IL the normal number of cut
tings are made Stock should not be
allowed to pasture Immediately after
cutting, unless there is a portion Of
the field which has not been cut"

For hay, soy beans arescut with the

Experience is necessary in curing soy

further attention Is given until the
hay is cured. He claims that the hay

quality. but does not say how much
time 1t takes to handle the hay in this
manner. 1t would probably not prove
practical on. large scale, but Is
worth trying with small crop.

Another contrfvance often used in
curing soy bean or cowpea hay Is IL
Illustrated here. Tho hay is allowed to
wilt and is then raked into windrows
and piled over these frames. Being
held up from the ground and having
an air space in the center of the
shock. the hay, of course, cures quite
rapidly. This apparatus appears to be
more practical than the one described
above.
Neither soy bean nor cowpea hay
keeps well in stack unless given a
good covering Of timothy or other
grass. because the coarseness Of the
stems allows the water to penetrate
SO readily. The stacks should also be
made on brush, rails or boards to
keep the hay from becoming damp
and moldy at the bottom.

The shrewd farmer is finding more
than one way in which to meet the
crying need for more help One Of
the most profitable methods Is to grow
cowpeas and let the hogs do their own
waiting on table.
Cowpeas may be seeded In the corn
at the last cultivation or they may be
put in the row when the corn Is plant
cd.
To be sure of stand 1t il best to
lay by the corn a few days earlier
than usual. They may be broadcasted
and plowed In, but this method is not
so sure Of securing a stand as is the
method of drilling them.
Where planted In the row the best
plan is to use a special cowpea plant
ing attachment on the corn planter
These attachments are now on the

market. In this case six quarts OF
peas should be used.
The difficulty in putting peas In the
row, writes an expert in the Farm ana
Home, is that corn is usually planted
about two weeks before 1t Is entirely
safe to SOW peas. This plan 10 very
commonly practiced. however. Peas
planted in this way will make more
seed than where they are sown at the
last cultivation and are especially val
liable for hog pasture.
Many men find 1t very profitable 10
hog down both corn and peas. The
New Era or Whippoorwill varieties
may be used where they are to be
hogged down, or q vining variety

be used and both corn and peas cut

sank; she never doubted the purpose
for which that boat was brought into
the bayou. or that 1t nearly concerned
herself.
Half an hour later Mrs. Hicks ap
peared with their breakfast 1t was
in vain that Betty attempted to en-
gage her in conversation. Either she
cherished some personal feeling Of
dislike for her prisoner, or else the
situation in which she herself was
placed had little to recommend 1t
even to her dull mind. and her dis
satisfaction was expressed In her at
