Experiments had shown that the nutritive value of the clover hay was less than 50 per cent. of that of corn meal. Charts were shown kinds of hay and grain feeds, and the speaker described in detail the experiments that had been made to ascertain these facts. Cows, like man he said.-I Ii s1 variety They got tired of eating the same thing all the time. It was not necessary to give something different at every meal, but the food should be changed. Pro. lessor Otis gave figures showing the relative space taken up by hay and grain food stuffs: He secuted the irnpracticable. It was not only prac- tical, he said. but should be used in the interest of economy.

One farmer had asked him how to feed it to hogs, and the speaker told him to take pitchfork and throw a little over the fence and the hogs would take care of the rest.
 Professor Otis said in the west 1t had been used successfully as a sub stitute for wheat. and had been in troduced into bread He believed the time would come when men would buy their cigars one end tobacco and the other end alfalfa; then they could smoke and chew at the same time and get some IHourishment out of the proposition. Experiments had shown that a stalk of it would grow as high as fourteen feet. While the stalk was going into the air the roots were going down in the other direction and one Western farmer said the roots of his alfalfa had grown down so far the roots had burned off. Professor Otis appealed to Connecticut farmers to think of alfalfa growers. He said he had been surprised to hear Profes- on hard soil The speaker said it was surprising the different kinds of soil in which it could be grown. In closing he emphasized the necessity of keeping the herd clean, and keep ing the poorer animals out of the herd.

TAKING YOUR BEARD TO BED.

Former Senator Tom Carter. in the debate before the National Press Club. of Washington, as to whether a beard or a bald head was the greater disad- vantage to a man, claimed that beard was a wonderful help. Carter, by the way, has a beard which would make an alfalfa field look like an arid and dusty desert.
 Soon after the debate he received from one of his Montana friends this communic cation:
 Dear Tom-Your speech on whiskers seemed to settle all the disputed points except one. What we cant decide out here, and what we want you to tell us is: When a man goes to bed ought he to put his beard under the covers or leave it outside2"

 The express companies do not dis tribute to the farmers who live be- yond the line of the railway-terri- tory which the R. F. D. serves as a matter of routine.
 Certain legislators, who have more or less consistently opposed the pas> sage of the Parcel Post Bill are com~ mencing to realize that their heads stand tickle on their shoulders that an outraged public is awakening. and that soon there is to be day of reckoning for them.

"The ailnre of foreign steamships

Judgment, the accident could have
been avoided. The failure to supply
the proper officers with binoculars
was unquestionably an act Of negli'
gence, espec' lily as gather from the
Testimony that a demand had been
made by the proper officers for them,
and the demand has been refused.
There was n the proper attention
paid ito the wireless messages that the
ship received. This appears to me to
have been an inexcusable act of negli.

1.-The speed of the vessel was not
lowered, as 1T shou' have been, when
notice was received that she was in a
dangerous zone. My own judgment
therefore is THAT there was negligence
in this case and that the disaster was
attributable to the want of due care
upon the part OF the company and of
Those in charge OF the ship. The
proper tribunals will determine upon
this question unaffected by any con
clusim that we may arrive at in the

Does Prohibition Prohibit?

LOGS TFONIOitIOn TToHI0h!
Often the statement us made that
there is more Intoxicating liquor drank
in North Dakota than in the high IL
cense states. Few, if any, really be-
lieve this, but mere is a clincher OF an
argument that prohibition does pro-
hibit. l have the Year Book of the
United States Brewers association,
1911, and on page eleven Of the appen-
dix is table OF statistics showing the
number of gallons of intoxicating
liquor of all kinds used in each state
and territory of the United States. l
nave separated them into three groups
as follows: Mine prohibition states,
fifteen local option states where a con-
siderable part is dry by counties, and
q saloon states where all or most OF
the state has saloons, These stats
tics are corroborated by the United
States interstate commerce commits
sion except that the commission Is a
little more favorable to the prohibition
argument in that they put the con-
sumption in the mine prohibition states
at IN gallons, and the rest OF the
states at Is gallons per capita. The
brewers will not object to these fig
ures, certainly, as they are from their
own Year Book.
