OVER 300
OF The Worlds
Best-Known
Instruments

sold since we started to close
out our stock less than two
months ago. While they
have been going fast, there
are still a number of good
values in strictly high grade
instruments left, but they
will soon be snapped up, as
the people who are expect
ing to buy a piano within the
next two or three years are
buying now. In order to
take advantage of the big
saving there is to be made,
many are buying even
though they have to sacrifice
something else to do so for
the time being.
No home is complete with
out a piano, and if you ever
expect to own one, now is
certainly a grand opportu-
nifty. For instance, just think
of a high grand Standard
make of piano that has been
on the market for over 25
years, and sells regularly
for $415, now being sold for
1928 on reasonable terms.
This is just one illustra-
ton - many others just as
good ranging in price from
$105 to 1898, according to
the quality of the instru-
ment.

FEEDING VALUE OF ALFALFA
One Of Very Best Foods for Dairy
Cow and Excellent for Stock
Most Dependable Crop.

tBy w. c. PALMER Agricultural Editor
North Dakota Agricultural College.)
A ton of alfalfa has the same feed
ing value as sixty bushels Of oats
Alfalfa will average two tons per
acre. This is the equivalent Of 12o
bushels of oats No land will average
12O bushels of oats per acre and the
conditions have to be very favorable
to average sixty bushels This gives
some idea Of the amount of food that
can be produced from an acre with
alfalfa
Alfalfa is one Of the very best
foods for the dairy COW. It is excel.
lent for beef cattle. Hogs thrive on
both alfalfa hay and alfalfa pasture.
1t has been fed to horses with splen.

amounts, Even the hens will eat tho

In mind that alfalfa 10 q roughage:
that 1t is bulky, which means that It
cannot always take the place If
grain
Alfalfa is one Of the most depend
able crops. 1t requires less labor and
expense to produce than grain crops,
This in connection with the fact that
1t produces more food value than Z
grain crop emphasizes the value OF
alfalfa. At least few acres should
be kept in alfalfa on every farm.
These acres will prove the most
profitable and will be the best insur.
ance that a supply Of food for tho
stock will be on hand whatever tho
season.

farmers almost instinctively turned
towards clover and timothy to use In
their pastures and hay lands While
these crops we're generally successful
IN their home state. the same success
was not met with In North Dakota.
The reason for this was two-fold;
clover and timothy have not the
hardness necessary to withstand the
severe winters of North Dakota, often
times: but more especially, clover and
timothy are not able to resist the dry
weather Of this state, and at the same
time make paying crops. In one
word, clover and timothy are not sum-
GENTLY cold and drouth resistant to be
crops Of the nrst Importance In the
state.
There are. Of course, certain re-
stricted areas in the state where this
statement does not hold true Aside
from the Red River valley one would
flnd timothy having the wider range
Of adoption.
These two plants. June clover and
timothy, are recognized as standard,
though not necessarily superior. hay
and forage crops The hay and forage
producing power Of state in large
part is measured by its ability to pro
duce these two crops, or something
equally as good. II clover and tim
othy cannot be grown satisfactorily Ia
North Dakota, what have we to sub
stitute for them?
