ALFALFA CULTURE
Quality An Important Factor
In Securing Best
Results

While alfalfa is our greatest for
age crop, and will probably continue
to be, there are many things about
the plant that we don't know. 1t
is more than probable that we shall
learn better methods of handling it
in time to come. Governor Hoard,
editor of Hoard's Dairyman. has for
many years contended that it ruins
alfalfa hay to cure it in the sun. ard
he has used hay caps, not alone for
the purpose of protecting 1t from
rain but to protect it from the sun.
He advocates cutting and rakes soon
after it willis so that it practically
cures in the shock, under the hay
caps. Recently some analysis have
been carried out that proves that it
does lose some considerable feeding
value by coming in contact with the
sun.
The Kansas Experiment Station
has been experimenting to find out
the proper stage at which to cut it
for best hay. They find that hay
cut when one tenth of the plants are
in bloom will have protein content
of II 5 per cent, when one-half are
in bloom 172 per cent, and when t
is in full bloom it has 14.4 per cent
of protein. showing that it has its
highest feeding value soon after it
begins to bloom.
1t might be agreed that as there
would be ar increase in the quantity
that it would more than make up
for the lower quality. but here
comes the Utah Experiment Station
and says that an acre of alfalfa hay
cut when in full bloom produces 562
pounds of beef. and that an acre
cut in early bloom produces 706
pounds.
The truth about it is that we have
found it easy to sell alfalfa hay,
without paying much attention to
quality, and so naturally we. have
just made hay and thought DO more
about it.
As we develop a steady market
for it in the east or on the coast we
shall find buyers more discrimina-
ting, and it is only a short time be-
fore hay will be graded and will be
sold strictly on its merits.
Again as we stop to study the
better methods of feeding we shall
learn more of the importance of
having better quality for our own
animals.
1t is a subject that is worth a
great deal of thought. for an i'm
proyement in the quality is bound
to come.

Calling a bystander Woods. and his

Calling a bystander Woods, and his
companion, went in the direction whence
the man was seen going and when near
him hastily moving to and fro and when
close to him he came out and said:
Whats up?" Woods passed his hands
around the man quickly to ascertain if
the man was armed. Then he asked
him where he was going. The man
made an evasive reply. Woods then
told him he had passed counterfeit
coin. He said 81 did not know it if
| did. Taking the man the officers
went toward the depot and directed
two men to search the point in the
brush where the man had been, to dis
cover signs of more coin. They did so
and in few moments returned with a
sack containing forty-six newly coined
lead dollars of the same date of the one
passed, which they had found where
they had been very hastily thrown un-
der pile of old concrete forms. They
were as yet not in the slightest degree
tarnished. The mans shoes fitted the
tracks where this cache was found.
The man proved to be James Swensen
of Fairview. Coupled with intrinsic
evidence Of the character shown, was
extrinsic evidence from the aroma
which surrounded the reputation of the
father, Peter Swensen, who was in
trouble for moonshining and counter
feiting some wears ago. Swensen was
taken TO Globe Friday night and pre-
liminary examination held before U. S.
Commissioner Pratt. He was bound
over to the federal conrt and bail fixed
at $500. Sunday he moved in chains
to Phoenix. What for?
Messrs. Tuttle, Smith, McMurren and

went Monday by automobile by way of

advantage that shows itself in
lower prices to the retailer for
shoes of such quality and enables
the retailer to. pass these shoes on

style and quality.
