Running Stock On Alfalfa

AS we all know here in Colorado.
where we have had good deal OF
experience, horses and hogs may be
pastured on alfalfa without danger
of bloating. The pasturing of hogs
in this way is very profitable meth
cd of utilizing the crop Generally
one pound of grain day is fed for
every hundred pounds of live weight.
An average irrigated field with a par
tition fence will support continuously
through the season about ten large
hogs. There is more or less trouble
from bloating when cattle or sheep
are pastured on alfalfa. and on this
account many folks discourage its
use. However. If certain precautions
are taken there need be little trouble
from bloat Illuminating animals not
used to 1t should be accustomed to
it gradually. They should not be
turned on alfalfa with empty stom-
achs, but be fed some dry feed i'm
mediately before. II this is done they
will not gorge themselves at once
anu VIII Dt hltit iihtiAhocb oA
bloating. Nor should they be turned
on alfalfa when wet. as experience
has shown that under such condi-
tions there is greater likelihood of
bloating.
In pasturing alfalfa some care is
required that the stand is not injured.
Horses and sheep Craze more closely
than cattle. To prevent roofing. the
hogs should have their noses ringed.
Stock should be kept off the fields for
a day or two after irrigation and while
the ground Is soft. Pasturing hay
meadows In spring has the effect OF
decreasing the yield of the first cut
ting Pasturing in the fall should not
be too close as the crowns should not
go nto winter bare and unprotected.
rapid and vigorous growth the follow
ing spring Many farmers follow the
practice of pasturing the third crop.
When pasturing of hay meadows Is
practiced the alfalfa should be disked
in spring to loosen up the ground com
pacted by the grazing animals.
There are some oD1cctlons 10 th'
pasturing of fields which are also to
produce hay Some of the alfalfa may
be killed and the grazing tends to
foster alfalfa diseases. which may oc'
casion serious damage. Many prefer
soilng to pasturing and with good
reason as 1t is certainly much more
economical The use of alfalfa In pas
ture mixtures OF tame grasses such as
orchard grass. meadow fescue and tall
meadow oatgrass has much TO com
mend it. Such a pasture is better for
all kinds of stock and the danger OF
bloat is greatly lessened. The proper
ton should not be more than haif
stand of alfalfa. Blue grass has
tendency to crowd out alfalfa. hence
It should not be used in connection
with it. To use the same field of al
falfa for pasture or for hay production
as desired is not entirely satisfactory.
Everything considered. 1t is never bet
ter to pasture any hay meadows but
provide fields for pasture only.-Fieid

MARGIN OF SLAP ON BOX
OF APPLES OF MRS. HIGGINS.

Mrs. J. NJ. Higgins. who owns a
fruit orchard near Fruta, is trying to
find where the profit OF one box Of
fine Ben Davis apples went. When
she packed the apples last fall she
inclosed note asking the consumer
to write her the condition of the fruit
and the price paid for 1t. This week
she received letter from Kent Bros.
OF Mullen. Texas. They paid $1.75
for the box and found the fruit in
good condition. Mrs. Higgins re-
ceived 33 cents net for the box. The
SLAP profit went somewhere but Mrs.

THRILLING RACE For LEAD IN BIC MINOR LEAGUE

Star of the senatorial pitching
staff is George McQuillen, ex-

Bobby Quinn. the shrewd business
head of the club. McQuillen is
pitching grand ball and an offer
has been made, it is said, by the

Bill Hinchman, former Nap, is
manager and has shown unex-

the reins. One big reason for

found in Sid Smith, formerly with

has caught every game played by
the team this year and his clever

batting ability has turned the

Has Tacoma a good baseball
team? Is there any reason to
complain just because the Tiger
percentage Is o little lowf Are
we going to win the pennant?
These questions are asked of
me every day by persons who
can't seem to dope out the right
solution for the Tigers hard
luck. I'm going to answer every
one, and prove what / say.
Tacoma has a good baseball
team-one of the best, in my
opinion, in the Northwest. There
isn't the slightest reason for COM
planning. and any fan in Tacoma
who crabs about the team Is moth
ing less than a knocker. We are
going to win the pennant. I'd bet
my hat on IT!
And here are my reasons for
being optimistic concerning one
of the best little aggregations of
ball tossers that ever breathed
the salt air of Puget Sound:
The Tigers are always danger
ous with the bat. There innocu-
lated with an abundance of real
ginger, and their ninth inning
rallies show that they can fight
like real tigers when there is
need for action.
We have the best pitching staff
In the league. don't think any
one can dispute that statement.
As for management and general
ship, Joe McGinnity has never
been excelled in the Northwest
as o cool. careful manager In
the most intricate science Of the
galra.
Now, as for the present stand
Ing of the team, BAD LUCK Is
the only answer. Any fan must
e6ncede that luck Is an essential
