ing for each init, approximately, 80

It is to be hoped that the efforts
of the Louisiana Lespedeza Growers

for this nutritious hay an extended

BRILLIANT SPECTACLE

Did you see it? It happened last
Thursday night about o'clock and
was taken for a meteor, an airship
and sundry other things. What was
it? A burst of light appeared in the
far east like sky rocket, from which
emerged two brilliant lights in the
shape of a comet with long purple
tails. In a direct course west they
followed each other, close together,
and passed over the town. 1t was a
brilliant spectacle. The transit occu,
pied fully two minutes.
That is what happened and you
can make your own guess. 1t was
not peculiar to Lafayette. People in
Natchitoches, New Orleans, Jackson,
Mobile and other places saw it, but
nobody got scared as far as we can
learn-just went to guessing and you
can get in the game and guess, too.

Scattered over Africa are not only
nations, but many tribes of people
all of sable color, but vastly different
in speech, in habit and in inclination.
The Northern peoples of the great
dark continent are as old as history;
but those of the equatorial regions
and the wild east and west coast
countries, or the low fever lands
deadly to whites, were much less
known and generally reckoned as the
most primitive people of earth-bar-
ring the hopeless habitants of Pata-
gonia. The most talked of peoples
encountered by the explorers were
the Kaffirs and the Zulus, the one of
the east, the other of west Africa.
DR.. Livingston records that when
he first came in contact with the wild
inhabitants, while they warred with
one another and in many places were
cannibals in victory, they were not
treacherously disposed toward travel
ers. The introduction of rum, and
the vices of civilization that came
with the growing curse of the slave
trade, however, made the Zulus the
most dangerous and intractable of
wild peoples. The Kaffirs coming
early under the Dutch or Boer influ-
ence, and latterly the British appear
ed to assimilate more readily and be-
come valuable factors in assisting to
develop the enormous resources of
the country. The Zulus have ever
been, for the most part. fighting men,
and even with their primitive weaP-
ons OF bow and spear, have stood off

More Interest in Lespedeza Japan
CIover) Hay.

That more interest is being taken
in lespedeza hay was evidenced a few
days ago at meeting of the State
Association in Monroe, where num-
Der of the largest growers of this i'm
portant forage crop gathered togeth-
er to discuss its possibilities. The
programme was a good one and the
meeting continued through two days.
One of the chief features of the meet
ing was the adoption of a classifica-
ton for lespedeza in order that it
might be properly graded, and which
was afterward to be submitted to the
National Hay-Growers' Association.
Or, in other words, this valuable
product will now be known on the
markets of the country and with a
classification similar to other hays,
like timothy, such as Choice, No. 1,
No. 2, No. 8, and no grade.
It is rather astonishing how little
our people value lespedeza hay az q
forage crop and pay much more per
ton for other hays which do not have
anything like the same feeding value.
Take, for example, timothy, which at
this writing is quoted onthe New Or
leans market at s26.50 to $3.50 TO
No. 1, and s27.5o to s2SOO for choice;
and yet feeders consider they are
paying big price for good grade
lespedeza hay at $500 per ton. Now,
the richest hays-tha. is, containing
the largest percentage of protein
are the leguminous hays, such as
alfalfa, clover peavine, ETC., and les
pedeza is one of them, while timothy
is a grass hay. None of the grass
hays compare in nutritive value to
the legumes, because they are much
less rich in protein-the most ex-
pensive nutrient In feedstu6.
Of course there is great room for
improvement in the way some of our
lespedeza is harvested in order to
place it in the highest grade. Yet
this can, and will, be improvedupon
now that a classification has been
adopted for this hay. When that has
been accomplished, generally, then
lespedeza will have a much better
and wider market, as up to the pres
ent it is unknown in sections of the
country where it ought to be intro
duced.
AS illustrating the comparative
feeding value of the two hays men
toned, it might be interesting to
make the following deduction: If we
reduce each hay to the number of
feeding units it contains, based upon
it's average analysis, given in au-
thentic tables of average analyses,
we find that timothy contains only
about sixty-six of such units, while
lespedeza, of good quality, has about
eighty-one feeding units. The meth
Cd of reduction is one which is uni
versally used in making comparative
estimates of a feeding stuff by the
number of carbohydrate units, or
feeding units, it contains.
According to this method, then,
and the samefactors are used in re-
duction in each case, if timothy hay,
with only sixty-six feeding units, is
worth, say, $500 per ton, lespedeza
hay, with eighty-one feeding units,
should be worth s30.6S.
Or, conversely, if lespedeza, with
eighty-one feeding units, is worth
$500 per ton, then timothy. with
only sixty-six feeding units, should
only be worth s12.22.
But let us look at it still another
way: The feeder who purchases IT,
