ALFALFA HAY

Thousands of farmers are this year making alfalfa hay for the first time. They will encounter much that is new to them. Alfalfa leaves when dry crumble easily asd separate from the stems and are lost. The alfalfa can not be left to dry completely in the swath; 1t must be raked while the leaves are a little tough. There is good reason for saving the leaves. They contain 60 per cent. of the protein of the plant and nearly all of the fat. Alfalfa leaves are more valuable, pound for pound, than wheat bran

and even more valuable than wheat

and even more valuable than wheat middlings.
 The oldest makers of alfalfa hay, from long habit and from encountering all sorts of weather conditions, us- uaily follow this procedure: To mow as soon as most of the dew is off the alfalfa. To let it lie undisturbed in the swath until it is dry enough to rake, only on rare occasions using the tedder. There will be crops so heavy that the swaths must be turned, either by hand fork or tedder, but normally even 1 1-2-ton crop will need no

When working about a car on jobs that necessitate a good deal or dabbling in dirty oil. the stuff gets under the finger nails and is extremely difficult to dislodge. Prevention is better than cure, however, and if a little soap is scratched off a cake and worked under the nails before beginning work the oil will not get far and it's removal will be an easy matter. A very effec- tive method of getting oil under the nails so that it is almost impossible to get it out is to wash the hands in kerosene while they are oily. The kero- sene carries the oil further under the nails.

A cause of fan breakaqe that is rather common is the running of the fan when it is considerably out of bal ance which results in setting up stresses that the sheet metal often will not withstand. If a fan does not turn true it should be made to do so by bending back into position the blade that has been bent or bringing the circumferential wire or band into shape if it has been distorted. Often a fast running fan, if much out of balance will set up a noticeable vibration of it's own, which is hard on the fan bearings as well as the fan itself

The action of valves sometimes is l interfered with by a ring of hardened oil which collects just above and below the actual valve-s seating, and occa- sionally holds the valve off it's seat for an instant if the stem is a trife loose in the guide. The remedy by scraping off the deposit Is obvious. It is not nothing on the contact face of the valve and seat that all is well: there should be no deposit anywhere near the valve. It not infrequently happens that the gummy stuff looks a good deal like the rough iron. but a touch show the difference

It's mere commonplace to say that farmers are as honest as other men. Of course they are. But I fear that there is more than a grain of truth in that western produce buyers belief that they have been "flim fammed'' So often themselves, they think they must film fam the other fellow in return.

As a result of many trials extend ing over many years and involving all most every thing in the way of coun- try produce, this particular buyer has reached the point where he now in variably turns down the farmer who wants to see to him direct, and deals with jobbers and speculators, though he knows that thereby he is putting another profit upon the ultimate cost of the goods.

In a letter to the editor Of the

chat within the past five years the
various States Of the Union and
Congress combined have enacted
twenty seven thousand laws Of .
general nature a. against less than

tain.
Mr.. Knight protects vigorously
and righteously against this deplor'
able state Of affairs. but a. these
laws were passed by legislative
bodies, a large majority Of whose
members were lawyers, 1t seems
that the sin Of excessive legislation
should be laid right at the door Of
the profession Of which Mr.. knight
u q shining light and distinguished
ornament. It would seem to have
almost the force Of corallary that
the only way to get less legislation
is to have fewer lawyers in our
law-making bodies.
Lawyers and law-making natural
ly 60 together and the trained minds
of the former are practically indis-
pensable in shaping and correlatine
our statutes, but there are lawyers
and lawyers, and a few Of them,
