Save the Alfalfa Leaves.

OF the entire alfalfa plant, accord
ing TO the Kansas bulletin 155. the
stalk comprises so per cent. and the
leaf 40 per cent. whereas the guam
tity or 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 he found
in the stalk. while so per cent. is in
the leaf 1t ia, therefore. very impor-
tant that alfalfa be harvested at the
proper time, and carefully handled so
that all the leaves will be saved.
When possible to do so 1t is best to
cut alfalfa late In the afternoon or
evening Dew or rain on the freshly
cut alfalfa will not inture 1t. Where
a tedder is used, 1t should be started
In the morning as soon as most of the
dew is off and before there is any dan
ger of Knocking off the leaves. 1t is
often advisable TO go over II more
than once.
Alfalfa hay Is harvested and cured
In much the same way as clover, ex-
cept that 1t should be cut as soon as
the young sprouts or shoots start to
grow at the base of the plant.
When alfalfa is left too long without
cutting. the leaves fall off and the
stems become woody. and the yield OF
the next crop Is greatly reduced.

Scenery In Boring Sea.

Sailing southeasterly along the shore
of that haunt of the walrus and polar
bear, st. Matthew's island, in the Be-
ring sea-" said navigator of those
waters, "one is impressed by the
mingling of the grotesque and the ter
rible in the character of the scenery.
The northwest point of the island is
split up into a collection of large
rocks of most fantastic shapes. Houses,
spires. cathedrals and figures of men
and beasts are some of the forms as
sumed by these volcanic fragments,
which, rising black above the white,
seething foam Of the seat that breaks
against their base, give weird aspect
to the grim and desolate region. One
rock resembling large saddle sug-
gested to me the thought that some
antediluvian giant might in his time
have straddled it and perhaps fished
for reptilia over the beetling cliffs
which it surmounts."

Tho Whitest City In the World.

There cannot possibly be whittier
city than Cadiz unless it be built Of
snow. The best way to approach the
port is to take trip on one Of the
small steamers which ply between the
ports Of Morocco and Spain. AS you
near the coast you see in front of you
a white mass, which appears to be
floating upon the water, just as you
are. The first thought of foreigner is
that he is in sight of an iceberg. The
white mass, glittering in the sun and
rendered more dazzling by the blue sea
and sky, looks exactly like monster
ice mountain partly melted, SO that out
lines of castles and hill appear upon it.
but only for second does the illusion
last, for you know there are no ice
bergs in that part, and you are quickly
informed that you are looking at Cadiz
No other town in the world presents
such magic appearance.
