SUPERIOR VALUE OF ALFALFA
Evident That Plant Furnishes as Near
Perfect Ration as Anything
Known TO Agriculture

Evidence accumulates daily of the
superior value of alfalfa. in the pro-
duction Of both milk and beef A
California Guernsey is reported as pro-
during 444 pounds of butter fat In one
year on ration of alfalfa pasture and
hay exclusively, the major portion OF
the alfalfa fed being hay. 1t Is GER
tain that this Guernsey was a good
producer and capable OF using her
feed economically.
However. regardless Of the ability
Of the COW to convert feed into milk,
1t is apparent that alfalfa hay and
alfalfa as pasture comes as near con.
stituting perfect ration for the dairy
COW as anything known to agricul.
ture. In the compromising of dairy
rations it has long been regarded as
necessary that variety of feeds be
used
This is In order TO increase the
palatabillty and to prevent the ami
NAL from firing Of the feed. The fact
that an exclusive ration of alfalfa will
produce such results as reported In
the case of this Guernsey is evidence
that alfalfa alone Is highly palatabls
and that 1t can be used successfully
ss an exclusive feed.

DAIRY
FACTS
RlPENlNG CREAM ON A FARM
Many Fail to Grasp Principles Under
lying Qualities of Good Flavor and
Desirable Aroma.

(By @. f. FREVERT. idaho Experiment
Station.)
There is perhaps no other factor in
farm butter making that causes more
trouble than the lack of proper ripen-
ing or souring Of the cream On many
farms the ripening is done with no
other purposes in view than that Of
causing the cream to churn more
easily.
The object in ripening cream should
be to cause the cream to churn more
readily, and to produce desirable
flavor and aroma. That cream will
churn more readily when sour is a
fact well known to any one who has
had experience in making butter.
However, when Ii comes to the produc.
tion of good flavor and aroma in the
butter, many fail to grasp the princi.
pie underlying the production of these
good qualities The main reason why
butter fat commands a higher price
on the market than other fats is that
it has a peculiarly desirable flavor
and aroma which cannot be exactly
reproduced in other fats. For this
reason it is desirable and profitable
to develop these qualities in butter
to the highest possible degree.
In order to produce desirable flavor
it is very essential that the milk and
cream be handled under sanitary con-
ditions.
To introduce filth into the cream is
to introduce not only the bad flavors
which that filth contains, but also
germs which will tend to develop
some kind Of a bad flavor in the
cream
The germs or ferments which pro-
| duce clean sour taste In the cream
are the ones that will produce a good
| favor in the butter. The addition Of
a small amount of clean tasting sour
skim milk or butter milk to the cream
about six or eight hours before churn-
| Ing will introduce desirable germs
which will sour the cream and at the
same time produce desirable flavors In
the butter.

THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW

AS Christian Bible Students-The Sat-
isfactory Proof of "Why God Permits
Evil"
One of the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today IS.
"Why does God permit evilY' As we
look about us I'm the world we observe
that 1t Is filed with sorrow and trouble
sickness and pain and every trial We
could enumerate, and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS IT.
We realize that He Is almighty and
that He could prevent 1t II He wished
We read In His Word that He Is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs, and We
know how much that means; yet Of
tentimes It seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question Is made very
clear In book entitled. 1.-THE Divine
Plan Of the Ages" Every statement
Is backed by Scripture, and shows that
while God does not sanction evil He
HAS HAD A PURPOSE In ALLOW !.

There will be unusual features In

to the many handsome awards present

America should be proud of its su
perior bred horses. and nowhere In
these United States are there better
grade animals than in Michigan The
recent sweeping Victory OF the Ameri-

superior mounts possessed by the Yam

The English came here supposedly
with the mounts valued at 100000,
and yet the American ponies were far
tougher and more agile and intelli
gent than the animals from over the

American bred horses have proved
their right to be classed as the best in
