and in hospitals and prisons. the glory
OF The day was recognized in some form
or other The melody OF Christmas was
heard in every hearts golden chamber.
And then the day was typical OF
Christmas. Early yesterday morning the
kindly north winds sent tioir Christmas
greeting yelled in white, and when the
sun broke over the WasatCn range from
a clear sky. tho earth was clad In that
mantle OF snow without which Christmas
lacks It's proper color.
Salt Lakes unfortunates were well pro-
vidcd for yesterday. Il anybody holds
the opinion that there are no good fel-
lows In Salt Lake, that opinion must
be discarded after yesterdays splendid
showing. The royal ruler Of good fcl-
lows led his army of men. women. bows
and girls in an able manner and al the
last count more than eleven hundred
youngsters who otherwise would have
awakened TO empty stockings in homes
destitute Of even the common neccssi-
ties of life. were made happy.

Cowpea Hay for Dairy Cows.

What about the hay crop? Will
you have plenty of good forage for
next winter or will you be forced to
fall back on straw or crab grass
hay? Cows cannot maintain their
milk yields unless fed literally of
right kinds of feeds. These feeds
must contain a relatively large
amount of protein This is furnished
most cheaply in forage. 1t is not
found in sufficient quantities for
milk cows in timothy, prairie grass
crab grass, sorghum, or straw, but
is found in cowpea, soy bean, alfal-
IA or clover hay.
Uo"pea hay has about the same
feeding value as alfalfa and is
some better than clover. Cowpeas
can be sown after wheat or oats,
and will generally mature enough
to cut for hay before frost. AS
soon as the crop which they are to
follow is removed the stuble land
should be double disced and then
narrowed to make the best possible
seed bed. The seeding can be done
with an ordinary grain drill using
the oat cups wide open. This will
SOW at the rate of 4 or S pecks to
the acre.
1t is best to cut the peas for hay
when the first pods ripen, shocking
them in narrow high shocks the
day after cutting, and allowing to
cure in the shock for a couple of
weeks. With favorable weather
the hay will be ready TO bale, stack
or NOW away at the end of that
time. Rains do not harm the hay
very much when in the shock
On average soil sown as indicated
above in an average season. cow
pea hay makes about a ton per
acre. Farmers with dairy cows or
any other live stock should SOW as
much as possible on stubble or any
other vacant land. Now is the
time to get ready to SOW.
