Saving Alfalfa Hay

J. G.. LOOMS: With alfalfa nay at
it's present high price it takes consid-
cradle courage to refuse to sell it to
the hay buyer and feed it to the dairy
cow instead, but it is in the long run
the most profitable thing to do if one
has high grade cows.
Dairymen are also often tempted to
cut down on the ration when hay
prices are soaring, but this is without
question a very poor practice; how
ever, there are eftentimes conditions
that one can take advantage of by
which the hay ration may be reduced
and no serious effects be felt at the
milk pail
An instance of this was seen on a
dairy in Stanislaus county recently,
where a herd of AZ cows had been
maintained without alfalfa hay for six
weeks on feed which is generally con-
sidered waste on most places.
This was done by soiling the green
alfalfa on sixty acres, which was the
growth of the fields after the season
had advanced too far to allow curing
it for hay.
There has always been a feeling
that freshly cut alfalfa was apt to
cause bloat, the same as alfalfa pas
ture, which is no doubt the reason
that more dairymen do not make any
use of this last growth of alfalfa, but
on this dairy bloat has never caused
any trouble and the only i'll effect
noticeable on the herd is that they
seemed to have run down somewhat
and looked rough, due to the fact that
thew scour badly on the green field.
Whether this will have any effect
on the production later is not known,
but milk records have been kept for
the entire herd and so far the pro-
duction has maintained as high an
average as it was on the alfalfa hay
ration.
The practice is to cut every other
day and haul in every day, that is,
enough alfalfa is moved at one time
to last two days in the feed lot, where
it is fed in long managers along the
sides of the corrals.
To guard against bloating at first
the cows were given a big feed of dry
hay before they were turned into the
corral to the green alfalfa, but since
then no precaution has been taken, and
they are allowed to eat as much of it
as they care for.
The owner suggested that it would
perhaps be better to feed a small
amount of hay daily, as that would
act as a preventative for the scours,
which seemed to be the main draw
back to the practice.
Not only is it fed to the mich cows,
but also to the young stock and to the
hogs, the latter doing especially we'll
on it in connection with milk and
grain.
Although there is nothing new
about the practice of soilng. it is
not generally practiced during Novenl-
Der and December, when it can be done
without other cost than that of labor,
while if done at other times of the
year it cuts into the alfalfa hay ton
mage.
The dairyman who owns this ranch
stated that this is the second winter
he has fed in this manner, having
soiled all through November and De-
cember last year.
The hay, which would ordinarily be
fed at that time of the year, was sold
this year at $40 ton loose on the
ranch, which demonstrates that brains
are as profitable on the dairy as else
where.

Representative Garner of Texas,
famous for the tariff debate reference
to Gamers goat" is the loudest pro-
testant today for peace in Mexico.
He fears he may be defeated for con-
gress next fall if war should be de-
clared between Mexico and this coun-
try. The cause of Gamers nervous
ness is that practically 80 per cent of
his constituents are Mexicans, full or
halfbreeds, but who are naturalized.
He says all of them are good Demo
Gratis. That all his voting strength
would decamp to Mexico and fight the
"Gringoes" if war should result is his
dope" Garner Is known as the An
CORA goat king of the country. He
used to own practically every Angora
goat in Texas-several million. He
is credited with being a millionaire
several times over.
"Prof." William Howard Taft is a
frequent visitor to Washington. Most
everybody knows him by sight, but
there is one man here famous for
having unwittingly snubbed the for
mer president. On visit to the SEN
ate office building Mr.. Taft called at
the office Of Senator Hollis of New
Hampshire.
"Who shall l tell the senator de-
sires to see him ?" asked Hollis's new
secretary. The senator's secretary
took a good squirt at Mr.. Taft's port
ly form and shook his head. Gust tell
him Mr.. Taft" the ex-president
mournfully replied. "Such is fame"
he laughingly declared to accompany
ing friends.
If there's one thing that Secretary
of the Navy Daniels dislikes above
everything else it is profanity. Dur

declared is an effective method Of
curing a man of the habit. AS editor
of the paper he owns in North Caro-
line Secretary Daniels fought sturdily
against profane explosions" from

Summer plans for ambassadors and
ministers divide them, as usual. between
the resorts of this country and abroad.
A protracted session of Congress always
has an effect in delaying the departure
of the heads of embassies and lega-

ton is adding another reason for short
ened vacations. However. summer homes
are being established far from the ex-
pected heat and social quiet of the capt.

cient reasons and the general location of
the diplomats is quite varied.

United Nurseries of Philadelphia
Win Purity Fight.
Women Members of Board of Man
ayers Garry Point-Violations OF
Regulations for Benefit of
Babies Reported.

delphia.-Through the efforts
of the Philadelphia Association of
Day Nurseries, a reform in the han
ding of the milk supply of the city
has been brought about and condi-
tons which chiefly affect the babies
of the poor have been greatly RENE
died.
The association. made up of woman
representatives of the board of man
ayers of twenty-five day nurseries, has
procured the enforcement of an ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale of dipped
milk" except in shops where eggs,
butter and bread are sold.
Following the baby-saving show of
last spring, and still keeping in mind
lessons of the milk show of the prev
ious year, members of the association
determined to safeguard as far as
they could the lives of the babies, en-
trusted to the care of their nurseries
and started a systematic investigation
of milkshops in the neighborhood of
the nurseries.
The infant mortality committee
which undertook the investigation ap-
piled to leading physicians who have
had the work of baby-saving under
their direction and procured the serv-
ices Of an investigator who has had
experience in public health work.
Visits were made to several hun
dred shops in the neighborhoods of
the day nurseries. -he shops were
viewed from every angle that would
make them places where it would be
preiudicial to the child health to have
its milk supply stored. The source of
supply. the condition of refrigerating
facilities, occupancy of the house and
the methods employed in handling
were gone into and card index was
made of all places visited.
The research showed many fragrant
violations of the milk regulations of
the department of health. All sorts of
menacing conditions were discovered
One of the chief causes of complaint
was found to be the cigar and candy
shops in which milk was sold in bulk
In many of these no attempt was
made to keep the milk at an even
temperature, or to ward off the flies
which infested the places. The milk
was carelessly handled and dipped out
with any sort of dipper and in any
sort of way
Reports of these conditions were in
stantly made to the bureau of health,
which acted upon them in two cases,
revoking licenses, and in every in
stance prohibiting the sale of dipped
or loose milk in any stores except
those which handle bread, eggs or
butter and which are qualified to give
proper care.
The object of the association is to
safeguard. by concerted effort, the
children who are entrusted to various
nurseries and to study their home en-
vironment and the conditions which
affect their health

OF a world OF friendly nations among
which war would have no place. He
believed that long steps now were be
ing taken to insure universal peace,

otherwise may be referred to dis
interested international tribunal, thus
practically insuring peace and justice
between us and all of the great nations
of the world.
Love is a stronger force than fear.
1t is the proud boast OF this nation
that our flag is loved rather than
feared No gun ever mounted is as
strong as a great thought. Great
thoughts are the controlling forces of
the world. and love is the basis of
every great thought
Concluding in an apotheosis to the
flag. Secretary Bryan compared the
ideals represented respectively by
Christ and PLATE:
The power of the unarmed Man of
Galilee is represented by that flag, and
no man Will dare put it on the side OF
PLATE who was the embodiment Of
force Let us always make It symbol
of the nations purpose-a purpose
pure enough to be represented by such
a flag.

ways shall represent a cause so just
that it will bear the blessing of Al
