TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Alfalfa Best Forage For Colts.

Alfalfa Best Forage For Colts.
A study of forages for growing
horses was recently completed at the
Nebraska substation at North Platte.
The relative value Of alfalfa and non
leguminous pasture and forage was to
be determined.
One leading conclusion arrived at is
that while alfalfa pasture makes rapid
gains and puts colts in excellent condi-
ton, with firm flesh. the cost is usually
too great to warrant. More econom-
zeal but not so rapid gains were made
on native grass. Colts that were fed
on cane forage the winter before re
-sponded rapidly to alfalfa, pasture~and'
made good gains. For winter feeding
alfalfa hay with grain produced better
gains than prairie or cane hay with
the same amount of grain. although
still at greater cost. The alfalfa raised
colts were in heavier flesh all during
the three years Of the experiment and
1t was thought would have sold better.
A strong point in favor of the alfalfa
fed animals is that when they were
put to work they stood up well and
held their flesh.

The Real Dairy Cow.

ITO be entitled to a position in the
herd of a real dairyman a COW should
produce between 200 and 300 pounds of
butter fat per year" This is the state
ment Of Charles L. Hill, secretary Of the
Western Guernsey Breeders ~associa-
ton. Mr.. Hills statement is correct.
The $50 to 800 pound cow is compare
lively easy of attainment. The first
essential to her procurement is to care
for and feed the COW in such way that
she can reach her maximum produc.
ton. The scales and the test will &C.
curately tell the story Of that produc.
ton and will positively single out those
cows which a safely become founda-
ton stock. The use of the right kind
Of pure bred male will increase the
production. and two or three Of the
right crosses will result in a 800 pound
cow. The 300 pound COW will mako
money for her owner as does no other
kind Of farm live stock, and in compar-
ison with her the growing Of wheat
and corn for market will be insigni6-
cant.

Farm Names Becoming Popular

The practice Of naming the
farm is becoming quite general il
North Dakota. The farmers be-
lieve that it is we'll to give a
farm individuality and distinc-
ton by giving it a name. 1t Civ
es an opportunity to advertise
products the same asa trade mari
gives to a manufacturer.
The North Dakota Federation
of Commercial Clubs at Grand
Forks calls special attention to
the act passed by the last legi-
stature which became a law eff
fective after July l, names Of
farms may be registered with the
register of deeds. The applica-
ton shall set forth the name of
the farm and a description of the
land included. The registration
fee is one dollar. The register OF
deeds will issue a certificate set
ting forth the fact Of registration
No duplication Of names in any
county is permitted. The farm
name may be transferred with
the property or if part Of the pro
perty is sold and part retained
the name goes with the part re-
tanned unless otherwise provided.
Cancellation Of a name is provid-
ed for and the fee in this case
is fifty cents.
Name the farm, not only that,
but have stationery printed-en-
velopes and paper-and let them
speak a good word wherever they
go. Let everything you sell SER

Continuation School System
GERMANY,

Germany does not allow her
boys and girls to enter "blind
alley'' employments if she can
help it. The German continual
ton school system takes hold Of
the boy Of fourteen or fifteen as
soon as he finishes the element
ary school and prepares him for
some particular trade or business.
What the work of these vocational
schools means in the sum total Of
German industrial efficiency and
social progress is well indicated
in a bulletin on "Prussian Con-
tinuation Schools" just published
by the United States bureau OF
education. The Information was
obtained from American consuls
located in important German
cities.
In Madgeburg, boys completing
the common school are assisted
by the school authorities in secur
ing desirable situations and are
required to attend the continue
ton schools while employed.
There are classes for bakers,
butchers, BARRIERS, walters, paint
ers, decorators, blacksmiths, tail
ors. cabinetmakers and in fact
for any other occupation in whlcf
it is practicable for a boy to en-
gage. Even if the boy does
not aspire to be a skilled work
man, but is content to become q
street cleaner house servant,
messenger, or to engage in any
other form Of unskilled labor, he
is nevertheless required to spend
three years in the continuation
school.
In Erfurt and other Prussian
cities employers are compelled by
law to excuse their employees for
lesson hours without loss OF pay,
for four to six hours a week. Fur
thermore, the employers pay the
tuition fees in these industrial or
trade schools, amounting to about
rad schools, eamounting to about
$3.50 per year for an apprentice
or ST. for the unskilled workers.
The main financial burden is met
by the municipality, with some
aid from the state. The state
makes its appropriations contin-
gent upon compulsory attendance
with the result that compulsory
continuation schools are gradual.

strong desire never to be obliged to
emerge from the rose colored COM
forter and the Marseilles spread that
covered It.
Sometimes the guest was a cousin
! whom she had known in her child
hood and who had gone through Har-
ward and was now prachcing law in
Boston; the rose comforter and the
Sesame and Lilies would be none
too fine for him. Then again it was
an old friend Of her fathers. an aris-
tocratie woman, who had visited them
in the days Of their prosperity, and
who, being literary in her tastes.
would be sure to appreciate the quail
ity of the quilt and to pounce upon

One day, a minute after she had
closed the door on the grocer's shabby
boy, who had consented to deliver her
groceries after She had returned home
at night she heard a crash on the
back porch and the sound Of some one
falling. She opened the door quickly
and turned the electric light upon the
white face of the boy who but mo-
ment before had been explaining to
her why he had brought white corn
meal instead of the yellow she had
ordered. Now his face was as white
as the meal and he looked as if he
would never again deliver groceries.
He was only a mite of a boy and
she had little difficulty in getting him
into the guest chamber and on top of
the Marseilles spread. where he re-
NAMED until the arrival of a strange
doctor, who ordered that he be placed
under this priced coverlet and that
he remain there until able to be re-
moved to his home. That was not I'M
til the end of the second week.
Those two weeks she declared to
be the happiest of her life. though the
guest who occupied her spare cham
Der showed no interest either in
books or bouquets After he had
gone she used to love to sit alone in
the little rocker staring meditatively
at the backs of the books and at the
roses on the wall
But this is not all of the story. She
married the doctor and turned her
back forever on the little room that
never knew the presence of an in
vited guest. Yet she says that the
spare chamber more than fulfilled it's
brought into her life a
guest who remained.

HER UNLIMITED GUEST
Ry WILLIAM BURTON.

Always when she dreamed her ID
vorite dream-that Of some day living
IN On apartment of her own-she oc
cupied her fancy more with the spare
room than with any other.
This was curious, inasmuch as she
was woman not much inclined to
scciability, being fond of her own so
ciety SO why in fancy she should
always be furnishing that spare cham
Der, laying the gray rug on its floor,
hanging the dimity curtains and
smoothing the Marseilles spread, she
herself could not explain
She even arranged the books in the
little white case, books calculated to
put a guest in good humor with him
self, books which would bring about
that peaceful state of mind conducive
to sleep. She would have no exciting
novels, no passionate poems, no soci-
illogical flrebrands in her guest
chamber. There should be such vol
umes as "The Measure Of the Hours, -
Society and Solitude, Sesame and
Lilies These would become the
shelves and crafty a guest even if he
never got beyond the titles
So when by a generous increase in
her salary the apartment was made
possible she took one with five rooms
instead of four, because, as she told
the agent, she must have a spare
room"
The rooms of reality are never as
well furnished as are those in the
houses of our Imagination. Still, her
guest chamber was a marvel of white
ness and daintiness. There was a
lovely gray hand woven flower bcrd
cred rug on the floor and a French
striped paper with pattern of tiny
rosebuds on the wall The woodwork
was white. and so We're the little iron
bed and the enameled dresser and the
stiff chair. There was another chair,
a rocker, covered with cretonne Of
much the same pattern as the paper,
and it stood close to low wicker ta-
bic on which was placed a small rain
bow glass vase, an Indian basket and
u few books.
The covers of the books were of
the same colors as those in the wall
paper-pink, to match the buds, or
green, to match the buds leayes-and
they looked like the kind of books one
is proud to buy, but never has time
to read But 1.-THE Measure Of the

1t was a conventional room, but it

NEW YORK FIGHTING
TO SAVE THE
TANGO

NEW YORK, July 21.-Tango
enthusiasts are putting up new
argument for the performance of
the craze. The argument is going
the rounds of the hotel ball rooms,
restaurants and by-the-sea dane
ing pavilions.
This is the way they put the
latest: mo dance can ever re-
place the tango, for, don't you see,
1t is just another name for
beauty exercise? Just think of
what we had to do to reduce our
avoirdupois before the tango came
along. We went through all sorts
of tiresome, unattractive exercises
at home alone or else in the GYM
nasium where he wore an ugly
uncomfortable suit. But now it
is all different, The tango has
banished rolling and all the other
tiresome and inefficient flesh
cures, and gives us grace and en-
joyment at the same time"
So the 1913 society slogan
therefore, must be: Reduce, dip,
reverse with quick twist and re-
verse again with a dip. Reduced"
