Alfalfa hay has a very great field

writes Prof E. ]. Iddings.
From some sections of the irrigated
belt have come some reports Of a
large percentage of colts born dead
Or weak and deformed. In some cases
an over-used and defective stallion
is undoubtedly responsible. In many
cases. however, when colts are most
In the manner heretofore mentioned,
the farmers are feeding alfalfa alone
to their mares. 1t should not be SO
fed. For best results with the brood
mare some grain should be fed in
addition to the hay. In case It is de-
sired to feed large amount Of hay
as compared with the grain. the hay
ration will be improved and made
safer by combining wild hay. tim
othy or even oat or wheat straw, with
the alfalfa. In no event should a brood
mare weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds
be fed more than is or 16 pounds Of
alfalfa daily.
A sole ration OF alfalfa hay contains
4 much larger proportion Of nitrogen
than the in-foal mare needs or can
use. The surplus must be eliminat-
ed as a waste. and the condition lays
an extra burden on the digestive
tract and on the organs OF elimina-
ton. Especially heavy is the labor
placed on the kidneys.

Oliver Layden on July IL in SeH-

saved him from the electric chair. The

characterized his manner throughout

passed on him without the slightest
change Of expression on his counte-

Judge Lane declared that he had
not allowed himss elf to be swayed by
public sentiment. nor carried away
by his sympathies. The sentence he
was about to impose. he said. would

expiration. but would sti!l leave him
an opportunity to come out and do
