value
OF ALFALFA
ECONOMY IN ITS USE
Recent Experiments Tend 10
Still Further Demonstrate
lis Worth 10 the Dairy

AS more extended and exact tests
come to be applied to alfalfa as a sta
pie food for cattle the value Of this
really wonderful feed plant is coming
more and more to the front.
An interesting series Of experiments
with mich cattle undertaken by the
Ontario. Canada, Agricultural College,
still further emphasizes the claims
made for alfalfa and brings to the
front its value as a substitute for the
heavy meal ration heretofore consid-
cred necessary for the maintenance OF
the maximum flow of milk.
The information sought was to what
extent alfalfa could be substituted for
meal without permitting the flow OF
milk to fall below what would be the
natural ~shrinkage for a properly fed
animal by reason of lapse Of time since
calving. The tests were undertaken
with nineteen COWS for subjects, divid-
ed into four groups, two of Holsteins,
and II each OF Jerseys and Ayrshires.
Two time periods of eighteen and
twenty-one days respectively were cov-
cred. In the first period the fullest ra-
ton was given including hay, straw,
silage, bran, ]cottonseed and oil cake,
the idea being to maintain the maxi
mum milking strength so far as feed
could do so. During the second period
alfalfa hay was substituted approxi-
mately for the equivalent III weight OF
the first ration so far as ~roughage and
meal was concerned. In both instances
% pounds Of silage was fed so this
item neutralized itself. leaving the de-
termination of final results to be de-
pendent upon the relative food values
of alfalfa on the n hand as COM
pared with the first period ration as
given above. of r.
The results were triumphantly in IA
vor of the alfalfa ration. In many in
stances the milk flow was actually in
creased, in others upheld, and in nc
instance did the flow fall below what
would ordinarily have been the case
under normal conditions, allowing fol-
the additional lapse of time since par
turition. In the second period mea
was omitted entirely from the ration
of some of the COWS while in Others
it was reduced to a minimum, some O
the best tests being secured from
those COWS from which the meal was
entirely absent; in every instance the
meal was but an insignificant factor.
A detailed analysis of each individual
cows performance would be weariSome
in this place, but the subject is Offered
for consideration of all North Dakota
farmers who are interested in dairy
farming. The detailed description car

Salute of Brickbats

Furnished TO The Washington Times by

A rain of brickbats which literally
usurped all the furniture in the front
parlor of Ella Smallwood's house in
Schott's alley, tearing away both
shutters, window sashes and door in
their flight parlorward. was graph
cally described in the Police Court

cutting Rosa Randolph on the arm
with a knife. There were two Rosas
in the case. one of the Helen of Avoir-
dupois type and the other of the sIen-
der ebon- -hued species.
Policemen declared that when they
reached the Smallwood residence they
found the shower OF bricks from
neighbors across the way had moved
all the furniture out of the parlor and
nearly broken in the front of the
structure. Despite the brick storm

During the first hour Of the afternoon

NEW YORK, June 3-The stock mar

prices for the most part slowly rising.
At the opening quotations were from
small fractions 10 p point higher than
Saturdays close. In the early trading
the same selling movement that distin-
guished the course Of the market at the
end Of the week showed itself, and
prices went OF about point. From
the beginning OF the second hour the
situation changed materially, and the
leading issues reEained most Of the
mornings loss, and some of them went
above the opening figures. Sales In the
first hour aggregated about $1,000 shares.
The condition Of the market is per-
haps stronger than at any time since
the beginning Of last week. Prices are
considerably lower, and there Is an end
OF bull talk on the floor of the ex-
change. Undoubtedly a large short in
terest has been created during the last
few days. which is about ready for a
squeeze. At the first show of strength
there would naturally ensue much
short covering by the trimmers on that
side of the market, which would send
prices UP again.
notwithstanding the assurance from
some quarters that the political situa-
tion Ia not a factor in the market, this
view Is not shared by many of the
active traders. They are clearly anx-
ious about the outcome at Chicago,
especially as to the platform declara-
tons Of the party. and the trading Is
