Alfalfa Good Breakfast Food.

Dreadful news comes from Chi

company has surprised his friends
by telling them that he ate break
fast in the form of alfalfa pancakes
The numberless people who enjoy
a stack of wheats' at least once a
day will shiver in their stummicks at
the thought that some day some one
will slip them an alfalfa stack in
stead of feeding it to the COW. To
add to the tragedy, it is reported
from Sioux Falls, South Dakota
that fine quality of syrup can be
made from alfalfa. 1t is claimed by
the South Dakota discoverer of al
falfa syrup that from ton of hay
the minimum worth of syrup pro
duced would be $50, which makes
the stuff too valuable to feed to cat
tie and hogs. Most people, how
ever, will be inclined to say don't
