ALFALFA AS CROP FOR DAIRY CATTLE

Alfalfa is the one best dry roughage for dairy
cattle. 1t has high protein content which makes
it very desirable in balancing the rations.
Alfalfa grown on the Kentucky Station Farm,
and shown in the first illustration in this article,
was found to contain 121O percent of protein
the basis of 10 percent of moisture in the hay,
which is thoroughly ar-dry condition. This is
almost as much protein as is contained in wheat
bran although there is difference in di-
gestibility in favor of the bran.
Alfalfa is a splendid soiling crop for dairy cat

CURING THE HAY

The proper time to cut alfalfa is when
growth appears at the crown.
The same principles apply in curing alfalfa as
in curing other hay. 1t should be cured by
willing and not by sun burning the leaves AS
soon as it is in good wilt, it should be thrown
into windows. Whether it should be taken from
the windrow to the barn or put into cocks de-
ponds on whether weather conditions will per-
nit it to cure sufficiently in the windrow

Since it costs about $500 an acre to subsoil
with dynamite, it will be seen that it is unproht-
able on this type of soil, as measured by the
above-named crops When the alfalfa becomes
deeper rooted the results may be different. The
gain of alfalfa for ordinary subsong is COS

dollars

themselves
Mrs. Arthur NJ Dodge. the president o.
the National Association opposed to Nom-
an Suffrage is well known for her work
i'm day nurseries, and is also an active
worker in many other organizations for
social welfare Mrs Dodge, in stating
her position on the question Of woman
suffrage. says:
I'VE have no appeal to make TO the
emotions We have no war cry. We
cannot supply the glamour OF propa-
ganda, but we have behind US the sane
conviction Of the sober minded women of
this country, who are striving to bear
their responsibility and carry their pare
Of the burden of society, and do not see
in the ballot the most effective means OF
performing these responsibilities
Mrs. William Lowell Putnam, Of Bos-
ton. known all over the State Of Massa-
,husetts for her determined campaign for
pure milk says:
THE danger to the nation in the agita-
ton for woman suffrage is very grave
and the sophistry with which it is urged
IS most decelving. Its advocates have
the ardor of the fanatic and the zeal OF
tho crusader. They believe themselves 10
be the true advocates Of progress. II Is
for us TO show that progress can only
be made along the lines where nature
leads. that only by working with her can
any gain be effected. The time in which
We are living is a very critical one not
only for our country but for the whole
world. Women hold the future In their
keeping. and il IS because we believe 50
strongly i'm the need for woman's work
and woman's power, that We are anti
suffragists."
Few women in America are more aG-
nired for sanity of viewpoint than Ida

tory of the Standard Oil Company and
numerous other books.
