Why We Need Alfalfa.

There is no combination of feeds SO economical for the production of beef, pork. mutton. butter and eggs, as corn and alfalfa. Neither will give the best results alone. We need alfal- ia because 1t balances up the corn ration and saves the large waste of starch which always takes place where corn Is fed alone. We need alfalfa because we can by means of 1t grow on our own farms the protein more proatably than we can buy it in feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because 1t feeds the soil and enables us to grow larger crops of corn and oats. We need alfalfa because 1t produces on an average double the feed value per acre of clover or any other forage crop.

Ford come back? Frank Chance, new
manager Of the Yankees, would like to
know. If anyone can give him the de-
sired information he will feel very
grateful Chance himself admits that
he doesn't just exactly know.
In 1910 and 1911 Ford was a regular
Dearcar on the mound. and gained the
reputation Of being ole Of the best
twirlers in fast company. Last year
he went to pieces. winning but l2 out
of "a games.
The return to form of Ford in 1913
would bring more JOY TO the heart Of
the peerless leader than any other
siagIe development possibly could.
With rhe eminent spitballer at the top
Of his game, Chance has one Of the
great pitchers Of the decade With the
same athlete sagging again the Yank
mcgul has not one star around whom
he may erect his staff.
Various explanations have been Of

year. and most Of them lead to the
conclusion that his poor work need not
necessarily continue He got a bad
start in the arctic spring at Atlanta;
then he got a bad elbow which was a
long time needing; he was discOur-
aged because Of the poor work of his
teammates: these are some OF the
reasons given for his fall from grace.
FCrd's friends see no reason why he
shouldn't get back into form again

Loss of MuaieaI Memory.

One of the most notahIe cases of sud den loss of musical memory related is that of Emile Prudent. One day in a concert while playing Lis own concerto with orchestra he lost all conscious ness of the connection between the notes, and from that time he had music only as confused sounds. Nei- ther from his own playing nor from that of the orchestra could he gain a distinct idea and found that he had completely lost the ability to read the notes. From this attack, however, be soon recovered. The gravest symptoms disappeared the next day, but from that time he could play only from notes.
