D0DDER is WORST
WEED IN ALFALFA
:. = IT, = =
Annual Parasitic Plant Starts
From Seed in Ground
Guard Against 1t.

w. S. Oswald of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station says that in Western
states and in some of the European
countries, dodder is the worst weed
found In alfalfa fields. 1t is an annu-
al parasitic plant which starts from
the seed in the ground and develops
into a long, thread-like stem, winding
itself around the alfalfa plant and
sending parasitic roots or suckers into
the plant. 1t then lives on the nour-
fshment which should be used in de-
ve!oping the alfalfa plant
Dodder has not yet secured a strong
foothold In the alfalfa fields of this
state, probably because alfalfa has not
been raised for seed to any considera-
BILE extent AS long as alfalfa is grown
only for hay, dodder should not be-
come very serious weed pest. How
ever, as alfalfa will probably be grown
more and more for seed each year, ex-
treme care should be taken to secure
seed which is free from dodder and
to avoid the introduction of dodder
into the states.
There are two dodder varieties com
mon in alfalfa fields. The small-seed-
ed alfalfa dodder Is not as bad as the
large-seeded variety. as the seed is
easily separated from that of alfalfa.
The seed of the large-seeded alfalfa
dodder is about the same size as al
falfa seed and 1t is almost impossible
to separate them.

BROTHER NOT IN THE SAME FIX.

Why do you object to vaccination ?"
asked the busy magistrate sharply of
the applicant for an exemption certifi-
cate.
ITS a matter of conscience, sir"
was the reply.
At that moment the clerk whispered
to the great man on the bench
"Ahl" said his worship. 81 am in
formed that you have a brother in
the police force. Now does he object
to having his children vaccinated?"
mo, sir
Very well: II vaccination is not

should It be against yours p

actly follow. Bill. as you're talking

fne art OF making good, sweet hams.
properly balanced with fat and Lean
and cured to turn is fast slipping
away from us here in America.
Inc old-tfme southern planters new
er bred hogs for fat and rarely cured
an animal for their own use that
weighed over It's pounds.
These men bred the long lean ami
mails which were fattened on mash
and clover, because not a great deal
OF corn is raised in the South; and
the result was an ideal ham-and- bacon
hog
In the great corn belt farmers are
disposed to breed and feed for fat be-
cause they are not satisfied to send
to market a 175-pound hog at Christ
mas time when they can just as well
bring him up to 300 pounds To them
all hog meat looks alike
A 300-pound hog does not make good
, hams. They are coarse and contain a
large amount of fat which the packers
trim off In order to bring the size down
to make them lock like hams from a
small hog.
People want hams from hogs that
weight from 1875 to 150 pounds, and
they cannot be deceived by hams from
300-pound hog with the fat trimmed
on.
The consumption of hams in. this
country is steadily falling off for this
reason, and further, because ham
cured in the average packing house
is anything but ideal food.
The small or middle-sized Berkshire
makes good ham, although there is
a tendency to fat. The ideal ham hog
is, in our opinion. the Tamworth. He
is glutton for protein foods, al
