Exact Copy of Wrapper.
Heavy Pasturina Condemned.

Heavy pasturing OF alfalfa is not
advised. The number of animals per
acre should be so regulated that two
or three small cuttings of hay may
be taken from the field. This is nee
essary to insure tender green growth

shoot at the base of the stalk the
alfalfa should be cut. In very few
days a fresh new growth makes its

occasional cutting, also tends to in

BIRTHDAY
Gift TO RED Cross
Little One Gives SIS To Suf-
fering Children In
Belgium
RAISE $500 HERE
FOR SUFFERERS

There is a little boy in Wilmington
who had a ten dollar gold piece
given him on his birthday TO spend
exactly as he wanted He has been
planning many things 70 buy with
this gift, but last Saturday when he
read the little verses in the news
paper, entitled "An Appeal for the
Children aud Mothers OF Belgium
Calling" he thought over them and
then told his mother that he wanted
to give Ave dollars of his birthday
money to the Red Cross for the little
children of Belgium.
The report comes that in Bordeaux
alone there are 10000 wounded. The
numbers of wounded overflow all hos
pitfalls. They have to be nursod in halls
and churches ON bare stone floors.
There are not enough nurses. not
enough doctors, not enough bandages
not enough rubber sheets, clothing or
bedclothing.
This takes in only the wounded sol
diers but outside of the battles, the
wretched army of refugees is equally
appalling. Whole towns in Belgium
have had their poulation driven out,
without shelter. food or necessares.
Children are born in this awful flight
children are i'll from exposure and lack
of food, mothers are uncared for.
The American Red Cross has al
ready pledged itself for supplies and
relief TO the sum of 1882 900. and will
need fully that much again. Not much
over 100000 has been received from
all sources by the American Red
Cross, leaving a pitiful margin at
present, so that unless the people of
America come TO the rescue. the re-
sources OF the Red Cross Will soon be
exhausted, and It will have to refuse
further aid to suffering Europe.
At the Red Cross Station at the
Hotel DUPONT, on Saturday afternoon.
$50 came in. and on Monday morn
ing, S27, making a total so far az
$500, much of which has been desig-
mated for special countries. The
wishes of the giv6rs With regard to
where their gift shall so, are noted,
and will be carried out.
Garments ready to make are being
cut out at the station all day long,
and will be given out TO any women
who will call for them and take them
home to make. Many arc doing this,
and gladdening the hearts of the
committee by their warm cooper
alton.
