1t is estimated that the SO hogs which

made a gain of rs pounds per head.
The ones sold in August averaged
1872 pounds and those kept till later

paying for the $50 bushels Of corn

total $699.OO, or $115.5O per acre.
This alfalfa was not injured by this
extra hard treatment but some parts
of it were frozen out last winter, and
this spring the field was disked and

seeded, securing a fair stand. While

TMONOTEDA AUTHORITIES ON ALFALFA

In speaking of his experience in the
growing Of alfalfa, the Hon. A. P.
Grout of Winchester, Ill, one of the
largest alfalfa growers in the state,
has this to say:
MY success at first in growing al
falfa was not startling, but on the
contrary l met with many discourage
ments, Had it not been for the dod-
dies, (sheep and hogs) that seemed so
fond of it, and thrived so well on the
small quantities l was able to furnish
them, it is doubtful if ! would have
kept up the struggle. A knowledge
of its wonderful feeding value gained
by experience was the incentive that
urged me on.
The time has come in my expert
ence, and l believe in the experience
of every alfalfa grower, when just as

corn belt from three to six tons Of
hay per acre. The composition of al
falfa hay is such that it has almost
the same nutritive value as wheat
bran, and may be substituted for
wheat bran in the feed ration with
good results. As a feed for all
classes Of live stock it is unexceled.
Every animal upon the farm loves al
falfa and thriyes upon it. AS a pas

they weighed As, so and 60 pounds,
and when they were weighed in the
middle of December they averaged
l25 pounds. Counting a gain OF rs
pounds per head and allowing $4,000
for about 200 bushels of corn fed
to the hogs, and figuring the pork at
3 cents per pound, these hogs re-
turned $4,000; the hay was worth
$1s5.0O, total $657.OO from six acres
or $4,000 per acre. Contrary to the
results in many other cases this pas
turing did not hurt the alfalfa and
was repeated without harm the next
year.

WHAT THE ORR
BILL PROVIDES
Features of the Insurance Law
Which Forces the Suspension
of Business in Missouri.

Of Business in Missouri.
The Orr bill, passed by the re-
cent session Of the Missouri leg
islature, is the basis Of the action
Of The fire insurance under its
restr. ctions, and in deciding to
suspend business after April
30. This is a matter Of great
Importance to the insurance com
panies and their agents, but it
is Of very much more Importance
to +he people of Missouri, as in
suracce is essential to commercial
cr lit. The law which is the
cause of this trouble should be
thoroughly understood by the
pubic, in order that they may
know why this unprecedented ac-
ton is taken by the i insurance
companies, very much against
their will.
The law compels each fire in
surance company to rate each
risk in the state for itself, at a
cost which will be enormous, or
else TO guess at the rates. 1t is
forbi lden to consult any sched-
ule or rate sheet not prepared
by itself, although the companies,
acting comparatively, as was re
quired by the former law, have
just re-rated the entire state, at
a cost of $250,O0O. It is now a
crime for them to use, or even
to look at, these rates. 1t would
be as sensible to forbid a mer-
cham to use a yard-stick, or a
grocer to use scales, in the hope
that if he guessed at the quantity
the customer would get more for
his money.
Violation of the law is a felony
punishable by five years in the
p%enitentiary or $4,000 fine, and
forfeiture to the state of all
the property of the companies in
Missouri.
The act Of the agent is made
the act Of the principal, and the
latter outside the state can be
extradited.
The usual presumptions of In
nocense are taken away, and
the state can prosecute without
setting up where, when or how
the alleged offense was com
mitt3d.
In greater detail the provisions
of the law are as follows:
Under the Orr law any ar
ran9cment, contract, agreement,
combination or understanding
made or entered into by two or
more persons, designed or made
with a view to lesson, or which
tends to lessen full and free
conn etition III the price or prem
iums to be paid for |insuring
property, or any arrangement,
understandings, etc, which are
designed or made with a view to
increasing, o, which tends to IN
crease the cost of insurance, are
made a felony. This is danger
ouSly yag:c and loose, since in
order to convict it is not neces-
sary to show that the party com
planned against has entered into
any agreement or pool or trust
to fix premiums, but he is made
Liable to +he penalties for any
understanding which tends to
fix premiums, or which is de-
signed to lesson full and free
competition. OF made with a view
to increasing or fixing premiums.
Understandings" is a danger
ously loose and vague term, in
view Of the excessive penalties
provided. A company often is
compelled TO take up an agency
because the agent does not pay
his bill, docs not send in good
risks, or is otherwise undesir-
able. The closing of an agency
certainly restricts competition,
and the OFFICER who ordered this
change wou,l thereupon be liable

rlgh TO use a yard-stick, or the
gro. er the right to use scales
as to deny the insurance com
panias AMI agents the use of
their stan ard of measurement.
These schedules are scientificall
worked out, charging for all the
def IT'S and hazards of a building
and its various exposure, and
giving credit for all its good
points so far as the fire hazard
is concerned The necessary de
tail can be discovered only after
a ca eful Investigation. 1t cost
the fire insurance companies a
quast6r of a million dollars to
rerate Missouri in the past two
years by schedule, giving each
risk the rate its hazards made
for ii. 1t would be impossible
for each one Of the nearly two
hundred companies in the state
to make this investigation for
itself, as It would cost each one
of them more than 100000 to do
the work, end yet this law for
bids them 70 even look at any
schedule or rate book prepared
by any other company or any
organization of companies.
Violation Of this law is a felony
and thus eXtraditable. The
western manager of a fire insur-
ance company in Chicago, or its
president in New York or Hart
ford, is made responsible for the
act Of any one of its agents.
Nearly ten thousand fire insur-
ance agents licenses have been
ISSUED by the Missouri insurance
department, and the needless act
of a.,y one Of these men can
make the president of his com
pany, who does not know that
such an agent is i'm existence,
liable to indictment, extradition
and Imprisonment, beside the
forfeiture ca all the company's
property in the state.
The usual presumption of in
nOc,nce which attach to a per-
son accused Of a felony are ia
ken away and the burden Of
PROT is put on him. The law
relieves the prosecutor from al
leging or pleading when, where
or how the alleged offense was
committed. No witness can re.
fuse TO testify ON the ground
that his testimony would incrim-
mat him any person or cor
pOration must produce all its
books or papers, and the accus-
ed can be brought into court
and the state then go on a
fishing excursion" for the nee
essary evidence. Proof of the
act Of any agent is prima facit
proof of the act of the company
Itself. If "A corporation is con.
Wet d the court may not only
GUST it from the state but may
confiscate all its property in the
state, appoint a receiver to col
lect its unraid premiums in the
hands of it's agents and turn all
the proceeds over to the state
treasury.
There are only a few of the
details of the law, which is by
far the most drastic of any anti
insurance legislation ever at,
tempted in the United States. In
view of the fact that the peculiar
nature Of the fire insurance bus.
mess makes it essential for the
companies 10 combine and co
