Mr.. Shaw regrets the absolute I'M
preparedness of the United States,
either in its army or navy, and ex'
pressed his belief that Japan could
sweep the Pacific coast clear with
scarcely a show of defense on our
part. The policy of Japan, he says,
will be not to declare the opening Of
hostilities by diplomatic notes to the
United States. Her policy will be to
strike, and there will be no knowl'
edge of her intentions until we wake
up some morning and find the Japan
csc fleet pounding away at the Golden
Gate at San Francisco and the har-
bors at Seattle.
Japan knows all about our small
Pacific feet" Mr.. Shaw said. "She
could sail away from Nippon in a
might, pick out and destroy the Ameri-
can vessels, assail the coast and gain
possession of it with scarcely a return
blow on our part. According to his
pessimistic view the Atlantic fleet
would be of no avail. For lack Of col
lliers 1t would be impossible to sail our
lbattleships around the horn. In case
of hostilities, Secretary Shaw does
not believe Japan could secure foot
hold east of the Rocky mountains,
but he does believe she could over.

thy and corn fodder are used. A ton
of alfalfa properly, cured is worth as
a dairy feed, as much as a ton of
the barn on an Iowa farm at cost
of S. a ton.
Iowa is one of the great horse
breeding states. Horses being fitted
for the market will make four pounds
of gain a day per head on alfalfa
pasture and little grain. Alfalfa Is
one of the best feeds for a mare in
foal and while sucking a colt. The
growing young horse needs alfalfa
every day, summer and winter. Its
large mineral content Is particularly
valuable for the development OF
frne and size. .''..
Alfalfa is the foundation for eco
nomical results in sheep husbandry.
No other feed equals il for cheapness
and quality Of outcome with breeding,
growing and fattening sheep.
Four out of ten farms in Iowa are
operated by tenants. The yields on
these rented lands are beginning to
drop. Exclusive grain farming has
exhausted the stores of fertility left
in the soil by years of live stock
farming. Alfalfa viii restore this
fertility. 1t will give a larger in
come to both owner and tenant than
any other field crop.
Alfalfa is now grown in every coun-
lty in Iowa. 1t can be grown on most
farms in Iowa though not on all the
land on every farm. 1t requires a
soil thoroughly drained both on the
surface and below and not subject to
overflow. 1t requires an abundant
supply Of lime and a soil free from
weeds and in fair state of fertility"

One of the heirs, Miss Mabel E. Allen
of 260 Henry street, Brooklyn, N. T.,
could not be located, and IN 1885 was
declared legally dead by the supreme
court OF Massachusetts, and OF the
United States. Seventeen years later
she was found and legally restored to

Should every Iowa farmer raise
alfalfa? The experience of Hon. H.
&c. Brandes, of Avoca, answers this
question decisively. In 1912 he har.

did from 40 acres of timothy. Each
ton of the alfalfa was worth to feed
much more than ton Of the timothy.
