ALFALFA CULTURE
BY j. C. BEAVERS, Department Of
Soils and Crops. Purdue Asricul-
tural Experiment Station.

The interest In alfalfa culture is
rapidly increasing In Indiana. Farm
ers are realizing more and more that
much Of the profit In livestock hus-
bandry lies In the production of home
grown feeds. especially the legumi-
nous crops which furnish feed OF n
high protein content. BY growing
crops like alfalfa. dairymen and other
stock feeders may greatly reduce the
need for purchased grain OF high pro-
TEN content. and thus greatly reduce
the cost OF production.
II is sometimes hard for the man
unaccustomed to feeding alfalfa to
fully appreciate it's worth. But few
can realize the great value OF this
crop until feeding results have proven
to them hat IL is worth as much as
wheat bran for feeding mich cows
md sheep. When farmers know tha'
they can grow four or five tons o.
alfalfa 70 the acre that is worth as
much as wheat bran then they viii
be willing TO spend a few dollars ar
acre to get a field started.

TREATING DISEASES
BY OTIS CRANE, Lecturer on Poultry,

tension.

Fowls. like human beings. are sub
ject TO diseases and death. BY the
violation of natures laws many trou-
bles are brought on unnecessarily.
Who ever heard of a robin having
the roup? Ii has vigor and strength
and fresh air to breathe. BY the
use of proper food, much OF the diges-
mails could be prevented. There are
four ways of treating disease OF
fowls. by neglect. by doctoring, by
decapitation, or by prevention.
Too many employ the first method
and too few the last. Prevention Is
way to treat poultry diseases. Sun
shine and fresh air are the cheapest
and best disinfectants. clean food and
pure water are the best medicines,
and exercise the best tonic. Admin
lister these with common u and
watchful care and half your troubles
will be solved. But any ~poultryman
Is liable, through neglect. TO have a
sick fowl and should know what to
do In time OF trouble. IL a fowl IL
very sick, IL would take more time
and expense TO cure IL than IL would
be worth, the best thing to do is to-
kill at once and burn it. IL a rem.
edy Is decided upon, remove the sick
fowl from those that are we'll and
place II In a dry, we'll ventilated
room. Try TO determine the trouble
before giving any treatment. Give med
icine suited to the case. The follow
ing treatments have proven valuas
in many asses:
Cold and Roup.
One of the most common diseases OF
grown fowls is colds which sometimes
develop into roup. II a watery dis
charge OF the nostrils is noticed. IL is
evident that the fowl has become toe
hot and then chilled. or has roasted
in a draught. Move TO better quar-
tiers. Dip the fowls head in a pint
OF warm water into which has been
put one teaspoonful OF ~creolin. or In
ject 1t into the nostrils and roof Of
mouth with medicine dropper. II IL

potash In the drinking water to give
it a purple color. This treatment Is
generally successful. II pus forms In
the air passages above the nostrils
open through the face with a SHARP
knife and after the pus is removed
wash with diluted ~creolin.
Gapes.
Gapes is caused by a small worn
that fastens itself to the inside linins
OF the chicks windpipe. These worms
are sneezed out after they have per
formed their LIES function, being full
OF eggs. or else are swallowed an,
passed of with the droppings. Tn
eggs or worms are taken In with foo,
or drink by other chicks. Manur
piles, chip yards. damp. shady OF

WATER METERS FOR ALL

The City Council will Immediately
take steps to pass the necessary ordi-
nances and resolutions requiring that
every consumer of city water be plac-
ed on meter and pay for the amount
of water actually consumed by him,
and it is expected that the necessary
steps will be taken at the next regu-
lar meeting Tuesday night
When the council met in special
meeting this week, there was before
the body Mr.. Benham of Oklahoma
City, special consulting engineer for
the city to assist Mr.. Danford. Mr..
Benham made talk to the council,
and among other things, recommended
that by placing all consumers on me
ter, the water allowed to waste will be
kept at minimum, and that the result
would be less water pumped ans
smaller expenditure for fuel.
Mr.. Benham took up the discussion
OF the sewage disposal and stated that
in SO much as the city owns it electric
light plant it will be more economical
to put in an electrolytic disposal,
system by which the bacteria in the
sewage is destroyed by process of
electrolysis, than to contemplate a
septic tank plant, and for the further
reason that the latter sort of disposal
would require the purchase OF addit-
fonal ground.
Mr.. Benham also recommends that
1t Will be economy to do away with
steam pumps for the city water and
filter plants and run both with power
generated by the city's light plant.

WATER SYSTEM CHANGES

1t has developed in investigation
connected with the drawing of the
Specifications for the water and sew
er extensions, that former city water
superintendents have laid many lines
of small water pipes for which abso-
lutely no record was kept, and the
city water department now has a man
busy hunting out all of these lines and
making records OF them. Records were
kept of the larger mains. from four,
six, eight, ten and twelve inche sizes.
City Engineer Danford advises that
a number of larger pipes will be laid
where there are now very small pipes.
For an example, on North Third ave-
nue., where the houses are close to-
gether, and where practically every
body is water consumer. the water
line is so small that. regardless Of the
high pressure of the city water in the
large mains, there is scarcely enough
pressure to do a half way job of
sprinkllng lawns.

quality, all accompanied by right
treatment. The home merchants do
not resort to any of these tricks to
get the trade, but give full value for
the money spent with them.
And il is a trading axiom that
money spent at home stays there and
helps those who spend it. While all
that is sent away very seldom comes
back, and never helps those who spend
it. Neither do the mail order houses
pay any taxes, make any donations
to the needy, or in any other way do
anything for the home people. They
do not even save them any money on
their goods, quality considered.
