CHRISTMAS IN BANGOR.

BANGOR, Me-, Dec. Is. Enough and
to spare" was the report from all the
charitable organizations today who dis
tributed Christmas dinners and gifts.
The Salvation Army sent out $50 Christ
mas dinners to deserving poor people and
had some left, having, the officers said,
supplied all of the families they knew
about.
A turkey dinner was served the in
mates of the City Farm, with a Christ
mas dinner for the children. Sheriff
O'Connell gave the prisoners in the
County Jail a roast pork dinner with
vegetables, fruit and coffee. Friends
provided fine dinners for the Children s
Home the Kings Daughters Home, the
Good Samaritan Home and the st. Vim
cents Orphanage, with many gifts for
the children.
A Christmas festival was held at the
Home for Aged Women and each of the
inmates received cash present. Those
at the Home for Aged Men were remem-
bered by friends with present for each.
There was big Christmas tree for the
patients at the Eastern Maine General
Hospital and quite an elaborate Christ
mas at the Bangor State Hospital.
According to the postoffice officials, all
letters directed to 'Mr. Santa Claus"
were delivered to half dozen claimants
and it is believed that all were answer
ed.
Excellent sleighing, the first of the
season, was much enjoyed and there was
snow enough for many snowshoeing

NAMES BIG GAME PROBLEMS.

Walter l. Neal member of the Maine
Fish and Game Commission, expresses
the belief that in order to save the moose
of Maine from determination it will be
necessary for the Legislature to pass a
law establishing close time of four or
five years on bulls Cow moose are now,
and have for some years, been protected
at all seasons, while it is lawful to kill
one bull more than one year old in the
month Of November. The result of this
arrangement is that while the woods are
full of barren cow moose, the bulls are
not only few, but for the most part too
Young to be effective in propagation.
Commissioner Neal believes that close
time is necessary in order to give the
young bulls an opportunity to get their
full growth.
He is also of the opinion that the
alarming number of fatal accidents in
the game season might be lessened if a
law we're passed protecting doe deer, and
limiting legal game to bucks, the idea
being that the sight of the buck horns
will enable hunters to positively identify
the object fired at as deer. A two
years. close time on does, he thinks,
would demonstrate the value of this pre-
caution.
Commissioner Neal advocates the inn
position of license tax of one dollar on
residents. and the prohibition of boys un-
der sixteen hunting at all unless accom-
panied by parent, guardian or some per-
son holding license. He points out that
with residents, as well as non-residents,
licensed, it would be easy for the ward
ems to distinguish one from the other and
thus prevent fraud in the matter of Ii
cense fees; also, as the licensees would
be obliged to make returns of game
killed, it would thus be made easy to as
certain closely the number of deer and
moose actually killed in the State Bills
covering these subjects will probably be
introduced in the next Legislature.

I The Belgians are great epicures and

poultry fattening plant. some ten
miles from Brussels, and learn his Sc
crets. The farm of thirty-seven acres
is devoted to maintaining herd of ten

fowls annually. The cream is turned

with his cart to the nearest public
market every week and bought some
300 thin fowls. ranging in age from six
months to one year. Tin many foreign

skimmilk and buckwheat meal. The
first week the birds were fed sparing-

THE WONDERS OF ALFALFA
The Farmers Friend and Money Saver.


BIZ r. D. COBURN
Secretary Of Agriculture Of Kansas.
The most remarkable development Of
a new agricultural product tn the Unit
ed States within the past quarter of a
century has been with alfalfa, hay
and pasture plant which twenty-five
years ago probably not one farmer in
ten thousand had heard Of. Now more
than million acres of 1t are growing
in Kansas alone, while Nebraska has
two-thirds as much. and nearly every
other state is Increasing its acreage.
Wherever grown it is the handmaiden
of prosperity. and those who have
known it longest and best are those
who esteem it most.
Since its advent alfalfa has sold more
Kansas and Nebraska land and at
higher prices than any other one
growth, commodity or influence. Raw
lands, with almost no sale and consid-
cred burden at five dollar valuation,
have been quick sales at $40. SIS and
sometimes 500 per acre when seeded
to alfalfa. Others. although not by
any means the best, have year after
year paid owners 10 to 40 per cent on
valuations of 5000 and more per acre.
No farms change hands less frequent
~ than those having alfalfa fields. be-
cause the owners know of no invest
ment likely to pay SO well and fear to
name prices they may later regret.
Those claiming it is not adapted to
their locality need to be reminded Of
what humiliating reflection it. is
upon themselves and their land to ad-
NIT that this hardy. well nigh everlast-
ing perennial, prospecting nearly every
where else. cannot be grown on their
own farms. The fact Of having tried
it in given locality once or twice
without success signifies little as to its
adaptability. as the sower may have
done none of the simplest things need
full to its prosperity. Such failure
should serve to make the experimenter
more determined, and no householder
who has two acres Of ground and
keeps horse. COW. pig or poultry
should be satisfied without having
part of his ground in alfalfa. for soil
ing, for hay or pasture.

THE USE Of SILAdE FOR THE
DAIRY COW
Most MIX For lie Lesst Mesey.

| MAUDt Win tVI NE A&ook UayUSye
BIZ. JARED VAN; sWAGENHM,
Practic0l Farmer and DGtrynQs.
There are three main arguments in
favor Of the use Of silo first it 10 the
cheapest and quickest way to preserve
the wonderful corn plant; second. it is
much more palatable than the air dried
stalks or fodder hence the cows eat 1t
more freely, and there is almost no loss
from the cows rejecting the coarser
parts Of the stalks (this latter saving Is

of the winter; third and perhaps most

but on most farms there is nothing as
cheap or satisfactory az good corn
silage.
The question is sometimes asked If
cows can safely be fed on silage and
grain without hay or other roughage.
There is no direct danger in this plan,
but it will rarely be necessary or
wise. No dairyman will have his
whole farm in corn, and there will al
ways be- some hay to feed, Still, it is
wise to make silage the larger. part Of
the ration and balance it with proper
kinds of grain.
A
COW giving good milk yield will be
made up of forty pounds silage. ten
pounds hay and from six to ten pounds
grain, giving the grain in proportion to
her milk yield on the basis of one
pound of grain for each three pounds
of milk.
Now. how large silo and how many
acres of corn are provided for dairy?
The following figures will help to de-
termine this: There are about 200
days Of entire stable feeding in north
ern states. so to feed forty pounds of
Bilage per day means 5000 pounds. or
four tons, for each COW during the
winter. To help out scanty pasture in
summer there is no feed rs good as
silage. so provide an extra ton for
each COW for this. or five tons in all.
A silo holding sixty tons is regarded
fairly ample for twelve COW dairy.
and this capacity will about be equal
ed by round silo of fifteen feet in
diameter and twenty-one or twenty
two feet deep. If it is also to be used
for summer feed it is better to have it
only twelve or thirteen feet across
and thirty feet deep.
It is possible to grow twenty tons
of silage per acre. but twelve tons is
good yield. and in practice it is much
safer to reckon on eight tons, so the man
with the dozen cows had better plan to
have from seven to nine acres of corn

THE MILK CAR VERSUS THE
CREAMERY
Some Facts and Suggestions.
BIZ A. A. BORLAND,

By a. A. BORLAND,
State Agri. College, Burlington, vs.
Whether it is more profitable to pat
ronize the milk car or the creamery
depends largely upon the value tnat
can be realized from the skimm1lk ana
buttermilk returned to the farm py
the latter. This sum varies consldera-
bly, with different farmers according
to the use made of the byproducts.
The dairyman who keeps pure Dred
stock will manifestly assign nigner
value to skimmilk for feeding purposes
than will the man who keeps INFERIOR
animals.
For pork production the value OF
skimmilk varies according to the
amount fed and the proportion OF gram
to skimmilk. Henry of the Wisconsin
station found that 100 pounds OF SKIM
milk were worth thirty-one pounds oI
cornmeal when three pounds OF Skill
milk to one of corn were FED. puI when
seven to nine pounds OF sklihHiih "
one of corn were fed 100 POUNDS OF
skimmilk were worth hut eighteen
pounds of cornmea The average OF
all feeding trials with skimmllk ana
corn in varying proportions gave TWEEN
ty-one pounds as the cornmeal vaine OF
100 pounds of skimmilk. with corn at
SLIGO per lundredweight the value OF
skimmilk for pork production would
ha "A cents per 100 pounds. For veal
calves sq1immilk gives fully as large
financial returns as when fed to pigs.
Buttermilk is practically the same as
skimmilk in feeding value for hogs.
Then 100 pounds of per cent milk
should yield ninety-siz pounds OF
skimmilk and buttermilS. worth 80
cents for veal or pork production.
The fertilizing elements in the nine
ty-six pounds of dairy byproducts are
worth 10 cents. about cents OF when

fed to hogs. Adding together 33 cents.
the value of The byproducts, and
cents, their fertilizing value. we have
total of 40 cents that should be added
to the returns from the creamery per
100 pounds milk in order to place the
creamery on the same basis as the
milk car. The following table shows
the proper comparison Of prices at the
creamery and the milk car:
