HAY CAPS FOR ALFALFA.

Alfalfa should be raked and either
put in the barn or if it is not sufficient.
ly dry, put into hay cocks. 1t is mat
ter of economy to have two or three
hundred hay caps (made of six-cent
cloth one yard square) to use in case
of bad weather. You may think this
is considerable bother, but poor al
falfa is poor stuff, and when we re-
member that good alfalfa brings us in
actual results nearly as great returns
as wheat bran, we can better realize
the importance of taking care of it.
If any of us had 500 hay cocks of
bran" in the field, we would take care
of them, but with alfalfa we think of
it as lust hay"
These cloths may have wooden pegs
or some sort of weights attached to
each corner to hold them in place; the
pegs can be pushed into the hay to
hold the corners fast. Hay caps will
soon pay for themselves in finer
quality of hay guaranteed by their

How to Be an Inventor.

retired professor of mechanical
engineering was called upon to deliver
u few lectures on invention to the
senior engineering classes. His first
injunction was that when one attempts
to devise a machine to do a certain
thing, one must consider directly the
fundamental operations to be perform
ed and must wipe from the mind all
existing methods and all preconceived
notions. He stated that one so called
inventor attempted in the days of the
scythe to invent a moving machine.
Being familiar only with the scythe.
he designed horse drawn machine
which would swing a scythe. He
simply replaced the man by a mech
anism. 1t is needless to say that his
invention did not survive. The prob
lem of efficiently cutting hay and grain
was not successfully solved until it
was attacked by man with an open
mind, and he devised the knife of the
modern moving machine or reaper

Ithiel Falls
BY RossIE BENNETT ROONEY


Sing on, sing on, fair lthiel.
Thy songs they are divine!
Thy well-worn disks perfected
Thru skill of Master Time.
When you're lulling in the sunshine
Your muslc's soft and low;
Or basking in the moonlight
Meath that soft and golden flow.
The same sweet notes your humming
AS out the Book of Life
You sing as you are running
Your race of earthly strife.
You sparkle, dance and glisten
Thru the shining rays of sun;
Fen when the storm bursts on you
You simply rush and run.
In your rush your tones are louder,
And we see you fret and foam;
But when the storm cloud passeth,
You resume your path at home.
| have watched your frozen beauty,
When you held the rainbow tiuts,
Saw the leaping, tumbling ice works
Seem to dash you into splints.
But you clear your every struggle,
And like truth itself you sound,
Welcoming friend and stranger
Unto you and your camp ground.
Let us listen, ever listen,
TO your music on our ear,
From thaa dra w our inSnira tiOD
When we come to worship here.

The pigs shown in the accompanying
chart were litter mates. The larger
pig was fed on a ration of corn and
alfalfa hay; the smaller on corn alone.
Several filters of weanling pigs were
equally divided into two lots. The
pigs were carefully chosen as to
weight and thriftiness, SO that each lot
represented fair average of the total
number Of pigs used in the expert
ment.

a period of eight months. At the end

on corn alone were thin and scrawny
and averaged but 60 pounds each. In
the latter case, one pig died of what
the veterinarian declared to be starva-
ton, notwithstanding the fact that
this lot Of pigs had all the corn they
could eat.
Must Have Protein.
The 60-pound pigs lacked protein,
that element required in growing
animals, to develop bone and mus
Gle, blood, nerve and tissue-that
which builds the frame-the very
ching that the pigs do not get when
fed upon corn alone.
Corn is deficient in protein and has
an abundance of starch and sugar.
Neither alfalfa nor corn when fed
alone will give the best results, but a
combination of the two make a per-
fectly balanced ration.
A balanced ration is a combination
of feeds containing elements necessary
for the proper physical development of
the animal. Protein, the most essen
tial element in animal feed, builds the
frame of the body while corn is essen
TALLY valuable for the production of
fat.

fed on corn alone and stood a breaking

pounds for the lot fed on single ra-
