Clover belongs to the same family
as alfalfa, and can also be used to ex-
cellent advantage in connection with
corn. Both hay plants supply the nu-
triment which is lacking in corn,
namely, protein, to give well-bal-
anced ration, though alfalfa is some
what richer than clover in this.
The growing of more corn means
cleaner land in Minnesota, and when
fed to livestock, as should be done
to be most profitable, it is certain to
encourage the growing of more clover
and alfalfa for use as supplimen
tary feed. Both add greatly to the
fertility of the land, making it pos
sible to increase the yield to the acre.
With Increased corn production ma

MORE CORN; MORE BEEF.

The fact that the total production
of corn in Minnesota has doubled dur
ing the past ten years is perhaps the
most significant thing in the agricul-
tural development of this State. No
farm crop is capable of furnishing so
much fattening material as this cereal.
The stalks properly cured in the
shock, or what is better, in the silo,
provide an extremely valuable adjunct
for cattle feeding, says H. R. Smith,
University Farm, St. Paul, MINI.
Mr.. Smith found after a series of
experiments, covering period of ten
years, that beef can be produced in
Nebraska at the lowest cost and with
the highest profits on combination
Of the corn plant and alfalfa hay. In

cruel cash at one side Of his head. A
buttonhole of his vest was torn apart,
showing where his watch chain had
been torn from place. A pocket was
turned inside out. Evidently foot
pads had robbed this victim.
Sydney ran to a brook near at
hand. He soaked a handkerchief in
water and did all he could to re-
move the traces of violence from the
insensible man. Finally the latter
sat up. He put his hand confusedly
to his head, his eyes were somehow
glazed and unsteady as they survey
ed Sydney.
, See, here" spoke the latter, who
are you and what has happened?"
The victim seemed to make des-
perate effort to concentrate his
thoughts, failed and shook his head
blankly.
HIM" soiloqUized Sydney, "a bad
blow. See here, old friend, l must
get you to a doctor"
The victim placidly allowed Sydney
to lead him to nearby village. There
a doctor looked him over, plastered
up the wound on his head and ques-
toned him as to his home.
81 don't know" was the monoton-
GUS response.
Sydney had tuned a piano that day.
He secured lodging for his charge.
He himself slept in a haymow. With
the morning the same cloud of hazi-
ness hung over the victim. All that
morning Sydney led him about the
vicinity. No one knew him. He was
an utter stranger to the district.
"See here" said Sydney, what am
going to do with you? What do
you want to do?"
Go with you" replied the old man,
simply. 81 like the sunlight, the

on his clothing, not a scrap of paper,
found to give the slightest clue as to
his identity.
Every morning and evening, how
ever the old man took from an inner
pocket an exquisite little medallion.
1t held the portrait of a beautiful girl.
He would gaze at it raptly for nearly
an hour. And then Sydney got to
sharing his mute alteration. The fair,
wistful features came to form an
ideal in his mind.
Like nomads those two passed
along the flower-frfnged byways.
Each day the old man seemed to
grow happier and more contented
with the careless, joyous life.
One evening, while seated in a lit
tie wayside inn, Sydney struck up an
acquaintance with a physician. He
told the story of the old man. The
doctor became interested. He ex-
amihed the patient.
There is a depression of the
skull" he said. This mans memory
can be restored by surgical opera
ton"
1t would cost fifty dollars, the doc
tor said, for he would have to call in
a surgeon. Sydney made arrange
ments for the housing Of his friend
in the village. Then he started out
tuning pianos.
It was a glad, proud day for his
good, kind heart when he returned
with the money to pay for the opera
ton.
The doctor had predicted rightly.
The operation concluded, the old
man rose up, a new intelligence in
his face. He listened to the story of
the doctor. His eyes were filed with
gratitude and love as he was told of
the noble sacrifice of the tramp poet.
Bring me a check book" he said,
"and a PEN"
His aDparent Whim was gratified.
