ALFALFA AS MILK PRODUCER
Hay, With Proper Kind of Grain and
Little succuience, viii Duplicate
June Pasture.

By L. n. wADRoN Superintendent
Dickinson, N. D., Satisfactory
Alfalfa is of great value as a milk
producer, for it is a well known fact
that an ample milk flow requires rich
feeds. Good June pasture produces
an abundance Of milk. 1t has been
demonstrated that alfalfa hay, when
used with a proper kind Of grain, and
with a little succulence, such as en-
silage, will practically duplicate a
June pasture.
When cows are properly fed, before
turning onto pasture, they show no
increase Of milk flow upon the pas
ture. II a dairy COW is properly fed,
she must have a ration that contains
a larger percentage of protein than
is found In common hays or in most
of the grains. Protein is supplied
through bran, linseed meal or some
other concentrate. To pay high prices
for these to increase the milk flow
means that the cost of milk produc-
ton Is increased, and in many cases
TO such an extent that milk Is pro-
duced at a loss, or at a very nominal
uargin.

MUCH LEGISLATION or VALUE
Anti-TubercuIosis Workers Have Rea-
son TO Be Satisfied With Laws
Passed in 1918.

Out OF Al state legislatures in SEES
sion during the season of 1913. laws
dealing with tuberculosis were enact
ed in 80 states, while in "a states con-
sideration was given to bills dealing
with the prevention of this disease.
This is a summary OF the legislative
campaign for 1913. issued by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis. Appro-
priations to the amount of over $4,000
600 have been set aside for the treat
ment and prevention OF tuberculosis
by the various legislatures in session
this year. In addition TO these, con.
gress will be obliged to set aside near
iy $1,000,000 for the maintenance of
the United States public health, the
army and navy sanatoria, and the tu-
berculosis hospital of the District OF
Columbia.
Among the notable advances in the
legislative enactments of this year are
the tuberculosis registration law Of
Colorado; laws providing for subsidies
to local hospitals in Minnesota and
Wisconsin, an act providing for the
establishment of county hospitals in
Indiana, and the establishment of
state bureaus for the prevention of
tuberculosis in Ohio and California.
A complete analysis of the tubercu-
losis legislation considered and enact
ed in 1918, is being prepared by the
national association.

are constantly coming and goicg, and
if 1t can find a suitable place 1t will
build directly over the walk. This
makes a number of interesting facts
easy of observation
Let the nozzle of the hydrant drip
until the ground below 1t hofas a
little pool of water, OF by some ether
means provide a pool somewhere in
the yard. To this pool the robin will
come for mud to build the walle of
her nest. Into it she viii souse bill
fulls of dried grass before mixing 1t
with the mud. In it she will wet
herself before flying to her nest TO
mould the mortar wall OF mud aud
grass to fit her body.
When the young fill the nest every
child in the family will want to climb
up to see them, and the older chit
dren will be tempted to lift them ont
of the nest, hold them in the hand,
a moment to show mother what bird
babies are like. But to do this Is all
but sure to result in the death of the
young. A young bird once lifted from
the nest has found his legs" and
will never be satisfied in the nest
again. He will climb upon it's edge
and go humping down on the lawn
long before he is able to fly, and the
neighbours cat is sure to get him.
Young birds should never be handled
until they leave the nest of their own
accord.
AS the parent-robins search the
lawn for worms to feed their young,
hopping a little way and then stop
ping to look and listen, you will often
see an English sparrow following
close behind and a little to right or
left. He is expecting the robin to
pull a worm from the ground, when
he will dive boldly for it, snatch it
away, and make off with it. In this
piratical enterprise the sparrow is not
infrequently successful.
Note your robins carefully. Dis
cover upon them if possible some dis
..inguishing mark, and see whether
they return to you another year. A
male with left wing dropping almost
to the ground as it hoped, returned
three successive years to the same
yard. 1t has doubtless been injured
in a fight, which is not an ~infrequent
occurrence. One may not be certain
that plumage markings OF exceptional
character will recur year after year.
al plumage may vary with moultings.
But any malformation, resulting usual
ly from injury, renders identification
all but certain.

STATE OF NICARAGUA
Has Greatest Area of Any In
Central America.
Facts About Character, Resources and
History of the Country for Which
a United States Protectorate
Is Proposed.

New York.-Of all the Central Amer
lean states, Nicaragua has the great
est area. The country is almost exact
ly as large as New York state.
The population of Nicaragua is
about 600, 900; that would give about
twelve inhabitants to each square
mile. There are few Europeans in Mic
aragua. The great mass CT its popula
ton consists of Indians, negroes, Elu.
lattoes and mixed races. The popula.
ton descends chiefly from the native
Indians, from their Spanish conquer
ors and from the slaves introduced
during the colonial period. Intermar.
riage with other South Americans, and
also with Europeans, has further com.
piicated the race situation. Hence In
Nicaragua we find half-castes with Eu.
ropean features and Indians with fair
hair and blue eyes.
Despite the fact that there is hardly
any immigration the population is in
creasing with great rapidity. Among
the Europeans in Nicaragua the Span
ish element is naturally the most
prominent.
The capital of Nicaragua is Mana
qua, a city of some $4,000 people. 1t
is situated on the Lake of Managua.
The largest city in the republic, how
ever, is Leon, with about $4,000 people.
The chief ports are San Juan del Sur
on the Pacific, and Bluefelds and Grey
town-the latter known 10 the Mic
araguans as San Juan del Norte-on
the Gulf of Mexico.
Nicaragua is a ~typically tropical
country. 1t is a very rich country nat.

wealth are agriculture, timber and

It would add to the revenue of many
farms If a flock of sheep were kept.
Besides being profitable they are great
weed eaters. They will eat five out
of six of our known weeds, where a
COW or horse will eat only n out of
every six.
Range-bred sheep are the right kind
for the average farmer to buy. Such
will be graded Merinos and il they

and other mutton blood, SO much the
better. 1t would not be advisable to
buy Mexican sheep or low grade sheep

The ewes purchased for the founda-
ton flock should be good, large ami
mails from one to four years old, and
weighing more than 100 pounds.
Where possible it would seldom be
practical to start with less than SO
ewes, and a larger number would be
better still. A flock of a dozen would
require almost as much care as so or
100. These ~range-bred grade Merinos
should be bred to a Dorset ram If
possible.
The reason we recommend buying
range-bred grade Merino ewes is that
thousands of these are available,
while Dorests are not to be had in
large numbers.
These fall or early winter lambs,
by good feeding and care can be made
to weigh 80 to 100 pounds by May 1,
when they will find a ready market
and will always be in. demand. Such
lambs should bring from IS upward.

technical knowledge on the part of the
farmer to improve corn, for the meth
DDS of selection are very simple.
Every farmer who is growing corn
should plant some standard variety
which he knows has been tested and
gives the most profitable yields in his
locality, and from this he should Sc
lect, each year, seed that comes near
est to his ideal. 1t is necessary to
make this selection each year because

In your selections, instead Of look
ing for an ideal ear only, look for an
ideal stalk made up Of an ideal stem,
OF ideal foliage and Of an ideal root
system bearing an ideal ear or ears
covered with ideal husks, and support
ed by an ideal shank. Possibly this
will be hard to find; but you can find
something which approaches it and
from this, with your ideal in view, you
can select continuously until you have
a plant very nearly approaching that
ideal.

Plant That Catches Its Food.

The common bladderwort, an
aquatic plant not only defends itself
against insects and animals, but
catches worms and fish for it's food.
As it floats underneath the surface of
the water its leafy branches spread
out in all directions. It's leaves are
covered with little oval bladders filed
with air, and at one end of each blad-
der is a cavity which leads into the
mouth below. Inside the bladder is
a small trap door which opens when
pressure is put on it. A small worm
or a small fish can enter this door,
but they can never come out.

uct is coffee. The coffee estates are
largely in American and German
hands. Another important agricultural
product is cocoa. 1t is grown chiefly
in the south along the Pacific coast.
Sugar is also widely cultivated. To-
bacco is also grown; the leaf is good,
but as 1t is not well cured it is not ex-
ported. Like many another region bor-
dering the Caribbean sea, Nicaragua
finds a profitable export in bananas,
which are grown in large quantities,
especially nea Bluefields OF the Gulf
of Mexico.
AS to timber, the Nicaraguan forests
contain splendid mahogany and cedar
trees, the wood from which is largely
exported. The forests also contain
many valuable dye woods, gums and
medicinal plants. Rubber is also
grown there.
AS to mining, the gold mines are
very important and are worked by
American and British companies. The
gold export averages a million dollars
a year.
Nicaragua trades with the outside
world, but the volume of commerce
might be greatly extended. OF the ex-
ports about a third come to this Gun
try; the rest go chiefly to Great Bri-
tain, Germany and France. OF the i'm
ports more than half come from this
country, and the remainder mostly
from the three countries above men
