SAVE THE ALFALFA LEAVES.
sixty Per Cent. of the Feeding Value of Alfalfa in the lsavse-hay Should be Cut at Right Time and Cured % as to Pressrvs
 the Leaves.

Of the entire alfalfa plant, accord ing to Kansas bulletin 155, the stalk comprises 60 per cent. and the leaf | 40 per cent, whereas the quantity of the protein in the stalk is only 40 per cent, while the protein in the leaf Is 60 per cent. Moreover only 20 per cent. of the fat is to be found in the stalk, while 80 per cent. is in the leaf. It is, therefore, very important that alfalfa be harvested at the proper time, and carefully handled so that all the leaves will be saved
 When possible to do so it is best to cut alfalfa late in the afternoon or evening. Dew or rain on the freshly cur alfalfa will not injure it. Where a tedder is used, it should be started in the morning as soon as most of the dew is of and before there is any dan ger of knocking off tho leaves. It is often advisable to go oyer it more than once.
 Alfalfa hay Is harvested and cured in much the same way as clover, ex-

45O BIRDS ENTERED |. IN POULTRY SHOW JUDGES SCORING ENTREES
SEVENTH ANNUAL EXHIBIT EA- PECTED TO BRING LARGE
 NUMBER OF VISITORS.

The seventh annual show of the Faulkner County Poultry Association opened this morning at 9 o'clock in the Martin & Harton building, 101 West Oak street, with one of the best dis plays of poultry ever seen in Faulkner county. While the display is not the largest, yet there are birds on exhibi- |tion which would probably win first prizes at a national show. The num- Der of fowls entered up to ? o'clock this afternoon exceeded 450, and 1t IS very likely that the number will reach 600 before the show closes.
 All day G. c. Watkins of Siloam Springs, who is judging the show, has been busy scoring the birds, and it will be late today before his work IS completed. The list of winners will appear in tomorrow's issue of the Log /, Cabin Democrat.
 There were only a few visitors al the show today, but record crowds are expected to view the birds tomor' row and Thursday. The doors will be opened at 8 o'clock every morning ane closed at 10 o'clock every night. Nc admission is charged, the merchants of Conway having subscribed to fund for the purpose of holding the exhibition.

LOWER COURT TO SENTENCE THREfT MANDATE RECEIVED HERE CIRCUIT JUDGE TO FIX TERM OF NEGRO SAVED FROM
 GALLONS.

Contrary to belief expressed al the time the supreme court reversed the death penalty against Robert Threet, a negro convicted in this coun- ty of a crime against Gertie Hol- lingshead, a white girl, Threetis term of imprisonment will not be fixed by the supreme court, but will be determined by the Faulkner circuit court, in which he was tried.
 This fact became known today when the official mandate from the supreme court was received by Circuit Clerk J. H. Hartje. The mandate contains the opinion in full, as delivered by As sociate Justice Frank Smith. After reviewing the proceedings in the lower court, the opinion states the court erred in not giving at the defendant request an instruction to the jury to the effect that his failure to testify was not to be taken as evidence against him, and on this ground the trial is reversed. The court, however, goes further and states that as Ihreet is undisputedly guilty of carnal abuse' the case will, with the consent of coun- sel for the state, be remanded to the circuit court for sentence on that charge.
 Threet is still in jail at Conway and probably one of the first acts of the court when it convenes here January 12 will be to pronounce sentence upon him.
