Why We Need Alfalfa.

There is no combination of feeds
so economical for the production Of
beef, pork, mutton, butter and eggs,
as corn and alfalfa. Neither will give
the best results alone. We need alfal-
ia because it balances up the corn
ration and saves the large waste of
starch which always takes place
where corn is fed alone. We need
alfalfa because we can by means of it
grow on our own farms the protein
more prof1tably than We can buy it in
feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because
it feeds the soil and enables US to
grow larger crops of corn and oats.
We need alfalfa because it produces
on an average double the feed value
per acre of clover or any other forage
crop.

AMBULANCE TRAINS

A railway in Germany has recently
introduced ambulance trains into its
service Each train consists of three
vehicles, namely, an ambulance car,
a tool car, and a service car, the last
named being provided for the accom-
mediation of the officials and men en-
gagged. including doctors, members of
the mechanical and permanent way
departments, and breakdown gang
The trains are stationed at suitable
points on the railway, which latter is
divided into special districts for this
PURPOSE. The ambulance cars have
double sides, roofs and floors, and the
space between the double floors is
filed with cork in order to reduce
noise and to act as heat insulators
They comprise ward room. surgery
and have an operating table. Th'
tool cars are fitted up with tools ant

and a host of other appliances. Thu

ONE SENTENCE CALENDAR

How often in the course OF year
does a man who has no calendar near
at hand ask himself the question, On
what day of the week does such and
such a date fall? A perusal of the
following sentence will soon con-
vince him how he may know all he
needs with very little trouble:
said l, I dwelt for fifteen weeks
in London with a robber.
Each word represents a month IN
order. Thus said" stands for jan
nary and "robber" for December. The
number of letters in the word gives
the date on which the first Saturday
in the month represented occurs.
Take, for instance, June IA, 1913.
June being the sixth month is repre-
sented by the word fifteen, when

BROKEN HEARTS A REALITY

We often hear OF broken hearts, and
usually with smile of incredulity-
Medical science has discovered that a
literally broken heart is by no means
as uncommon as one might fancy.
Heart failure as cause of death is
about as satisfactory as to say "one
dies for lack of BREATH" heart failure
being merely result of clearly de-
fined conditions Broken hearts can
easily be brought about by diet of
sweetmeats, with a free use of fer
mented LIQUORS. These weaken the
tissues of the heart, and pave the way
for a sudden dissolution. 1t has been
supposed that the fatty degenration
of heart was an incurable disease, but
this is another popular error, as such
conditions are durable by suitable
diet and proper medical treatment

WHERE MOTOR CARS ABOUND

Few South American cities, in pro-

show as many automobiles in use as
Montevideo, Uruguay, yet the number
is increasing very considerably, ac-

cars entered the port and were sold.
There are now more than 1900
licensed cars in Montevideo. about
1000 being the total for the whole

large number is the 100 miles of mac.

agricultural country. A motor car can
