. Surely there isn't one who is less
conscious of his success or more
natural than he
Judson lives with his parents in
one of the most bewitching Cali
fornia bungalows 1 ever saw. It's
up near the hills in Glendale, a few
miles inland from Los Angeles.
No wonder the boy is a good actor.
The whole atmosphere of his home
is artistic. His pretty mother was
an actress, and his father, George
Melford, is the capable director of
the Glendale Kalem moving picture
company.
Judson told me, quite confidential
ly, that he Just loves to go up into
the canyon where the company puts
on its outdoor scenes and spend the
day with his daddy.
Of course, be is seldom invited to
come unless there is a part for him
to play, because the little boy is a
regular attendant at the Glendale,
school.
Here he is as he looks when he
tries to absorb everything you say,
no matter how long the words are
you use.
And here he is as he looked in the
part he played in the picture, Daniel
Boone" s.l
He played in "The Touch of a
Child's Hand, ''The Driver of the
Deadwood Stage Coach "The Run
aways" and many more pictures.
Although just a few years old,
young Judson told me, quite as
matter of course, that he has been
in New York, Florida, Rochester and
Chicago. He mentioned places in

SAVE THE ALFALFA LEAVES.
Sixty Per Cent. of the Feeding Value
of Alfalfa in the Leaves--Hay
Should be Cut at Right Time
and Cured so as to Preserve
the Leaves.

OF the entire alfalfa plant, accord
ing to Kansas bulletin 155, the stalk
comprises 80 per cent. and the Leaf
40 per cent, whereas the quantity 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 be found n the
stalk, while 80 per cent. is in the leaf.
1t is. therefore, very important that
alfalfa be harvested at the proper
time, and carefully handled so that
all the leaves will be saved.
When possible to do 80 it ts best TO
cut alfalfa late in the afternoon or
evening. Dew or rain on the freshly
cut alfalfa will not injure 1t. Where a
tedder is used, it should be started in
the morning as soon as most OF the
dew is off and before there is any dam
ger Of knocking off the leaves. 1t Is
often advisable to go over it more
than once.
Alfalfa hay is harvested and cured
In much the same way as clover, ex'

that 1t spells vindication"
