ALFALFA FAVORED
FOR The POULTRY
Hay Can Be Cut Into One-Fourth
Inch Lengths, Steamed
and Fed in Mash.
(By MRS. A. J. WILDER. }


Alfalfa has come into great favor as
ing hens and as a food for young
chicks or growing stock. The protein
in alfalfa Is about the same as wheat
bran and is a bone and muscle or
lean meat grower
Green alfalfa and a mixture of fine
ly cracked grains, mostly corn, to bal
ance the elements in the alfalfa with
skimmilk and fine grit and shells Is a
good ration for the young chicks. 1t
Is fine ration for the laying hens
also, except that the grains need not
be cracked.
If allowed run on a green alfalfa
field the hens will eat less grain.
Care must be taken not to let them
pasture on a field of alfalfa too long,
as they will kill out the alfalfa by
eating out the crown of the plant, and
If this crown is destroyed the plant
is killed.
Alfalfa hay can be cut into one
fourth inch lengths, steamed and fed
in mash. 1t is nearly as good fed
in this way as the green alfalfa and
will answer for green food in the
winter
The process Of steaming is as fol
lows: Cut the alfalfa in one.fourth
inch lengths and put in tub or
bucket, pour as much boiling water
Nfyill oh alr IL,
and let 1t stand for thirty minutes be-
fore feeding. This is a good addition
to the mash and when used only a
little bran will be necessary in the
mash. Alfalfa can also be fed alone
and without steaming.
Green alfalfa has a good eject on
the general health of the fowls. and
another good reason for raising it is
the great amount of food it will fur
nish per acre. Rich soils will furnish
four crops in one year with a total
yield Of six 10 eight tons to the acre.
This will furnish considerable feed
for the poultry and will save the ex-
pense of buying bran.
II we can raise alfalfa to take the
place of bran we can raise all the
poultry feed we need. and this every
farmer should try to accomplish as a
saving OF expense. One is inclined to
think that it is just as well to sell
something from the farm and buy to
complete food ration, but we re-
member, when we buy we pay several
extra profits between tn man who
raised it and ourselves.
The best way Is to raise everything
that Is fed out on the farm, and by
raising alfalfa to take the place of
bran and raising corn, oats and wheat
we have a perfect food ration for the
poultry or any other kind of stock

ODD CHARM OF HAVANA, CUBA
Americans Visiting This City Declare

Havana, Cuba.-Americans driving

tht 1t seems to them "as II they were

phrase from the widely travelled but
Unconditional Mr.. Baedeker-"need not
detain them long" They are abroad.
Havana is not merely like a foreign
town." it is a foreign town. 1t has
its own odd look, Its special pictur-

1t abounds in unknown dishes and

and queer. melancholy songs. writes
Harrison Rhodes in the Metropolitan.
The long traditions of the Spanish
dominion of the two Americas still
cling about Havana's fortresses and
the palaces, churches and monasteries
of her ancient streets. She was a
proud, rich city, the entrepot of the
west, when our northern mainland was
wilderness And now in the Cuban
twentieth century she is crowded,
thriving, gay metropolis, with her own
pride, her own tropic airs and graces,
her own wholly un-American individu-
atty.
She may be crowded in the brief
winter season with American tourists,
may contain (as indeed she always
has contained) a considerable Ameri-
can business colony, and may be a
refuge for derelicts and vagabonds
straight from the pages of O. Henry,
Richard Harding Davis and other Kip
lings of Spanish America. Still, she
is always the old Havana, the Cuban
capital of Cuba.

TEACHERS
or RIvESvlLLE HIGH SCHOOL
EXPRESS THEIR THANKS TO
PATRONS.

We, the teachers OF tho Rivesville
high school take this opportunity to
again express our gratitude TO patrons
and students Of our little rural high
school for the work done Tnd inteycs;
manifested during tn past school year
a successful high school in any
community requires strong and dis.
linct sentiment among the people,
which comes, but gradual steps and
through the continuous efforts Of those
IN charge. That such sentiment is
gaining rapidly in this community is
shown by the fact that all but one or
two OF last years eighth grade grad.
yates entered high school last fail.
and during the last month OF Nigh
school every one OF this years class
cid some elementary work III high
school and all viii enter regular work
next fall.
This is mainly due. We Feel sure, 10
III" fact aht the parents are waking
mp to realize that their children are
~ good AS any the children of other
communities and need more education
than is afforded by the graded course.
The people have hcCn aroused to some
serious thinking because they have
heard high school talked every day at
hCme and about their work and have
heard some school yclls and seen the
colors displayed on occasions of base
ball games, etc.
From all this has grown up such a
pride and interest in the high school
all over the district that We feel sure
that the people will never suffer their
children to be without the advantages
OF high school, This ran but be
gratifying TO the teachers who have
worked IN The school this year. for
they feel that without such interest
on the part Of. the people much o.
their labcr would have been expended
In vain.
Our FIRST attempt in athletics began
wish the base bali season This year
and the result was that our team only
fell at the hands OF our sister school
at Fairview. Much good material
showed up in school and thanks are
due to the boys outside who helped
us out so well. Next ycar we hope
the school can have some form Of atl-
lctics through the whole year.

satisfaction with the work done in tho
grades this year Much 4oGd was nc.
