Advantages Of Alfalfa.

AS to the advantage of growing al
falfa in the corn belt, Prof P. G.
Holden says:
1T produces a large yield per acre,
more than double that of clover.
1T is rich in protein, having almost
as high a feeding value as bran.
1T is the most enriching crop for
the ground which we have.
When good stand is once secured
it will generally last four to six years
in the humid regions and much longer
in the west.
1T can be fed as hay to all kinds of
animals, and has no superior as hog
pasture"

Average Yields.

The average yield Of corn per acre
in the United States is only about 81
bushels.
Our average yield Of wheat is only
1871 bushels per acre-and the aver
age yield Of nearly everything we
grow on the farm is exceedingly low,
compared with the yields in other
countries.
1t is high time we were waking up
and doing something.

Lancing Mirror tells that Dubuque
men passed south in their launch from
the vicinity of Victory and Genoa. One
man told the writer that they caught
more fish than they knew what to do
with. After supplying all their friends
by shipments by express, they quit the
job simply because there were no others
to supply and they were not men who
would waste them.

fifty bushels of wheat to the acre was
not unusual, today not more than If

Food Supply and Population,

To make it possible for the people
Of the United States to raise. clothe
and feed future generations, we must
change our system of agriculture. We
cannot depend upon Uncle Sarn for
any more land. and the only method
by which we can keep the United
States on the map is to make two
blades of grass grow where only one
grew before
During the last decade the popula-
ton of the United States increased %
per cent. During the same period the
production of beef In the United
States fell OF % per cent.
A few years ago II cost the labor
ing man $5205 for his yearly supply of
meat-today the same number Of
pounds of meat cost sS5.05, an in
crease of $4,000.
In view Of this what shall we doF
A careful analysis shows that we
need more fertile fields. or rather
fields with greater fertility.
We need larger and better herds.
We need better roads
We need larger bank accounts.
We need better homes.
We need better citizenship.
How can all this be done?
Perhaps no one thing viii do more
to secure these things than growing
alfalfa.
If that is true, why haven't we been

One hundred years ago the Mohawk
valley in New York was the wonder OF
Europe, was the wonder of the world
for it's fertility, and thousands of car
loads of cattle. hogs and farm crops
were shipped out Of that valley until
its fertility has been exhausted. The
settlers then moved westward into the
Miami and Scioto valleys of Ohio. and
did the same thing over again. Fol-

valleys, the magnificent broad prairies
Of Illinois and Iowa were brought IN

Where Alfalfa Is Grown.

The accompanying map shows where
alfalfa is grown in the United States
today. At the present time all the
alfalfa grown in the United States is
less than the area OF the little state
OF New Jersey The total area under
alfalfa in this country is 4.7O7, I36
acres. OF this area Kansas alone has
956,962 acres Of alfalfa-or about one
fifth of our entire alfalfa crop.
Nebraska comes second with $751;
2S2 acres; Colorado third, with 50S, 1872
acres: California fourth, with 4S4, 134
acres; and Idaho fifth, with S0s.se2
acres.
All OF the corn belt states are lam
entably shy in the growing of alfalfa,
as is shown by the following rank in
which they come as producers of the
crop:
Missouri. II; Ohio, 10: Iowa, 20; I'LL
nois %; Wisconsin, %; Indiana, "a;
Michigan. 90; Minnesota, 35.
With the unquestioned advantages
OF alfalfa. we should be growing more
of this great legume crop.

Miles Here and There.

In England a mile means the IA
miliar 1850 yards. but in Iceland 1t
means 2.240 yards, and in the High
lands it may mean the old Scots mile
of 1876 yards. In Switzerland the
hardy mountaineers think 1888 the
proper thing, even when, as generally
is. it is very much uphill. The Swiss
is the longest mile of all. being fol-
lowed by the Vienna post mile OF
s.296 yards. The Flemish mile is
6. 500 yards, the Prussian S,23f yards.
and in Denmark they walk s.244 yards
and call it stroll OF a mile The
Turks are satisfied with 1,s2o yards
and the Italians shorten the distance
Of q mile to 1,166.

Unemployed Men will Secure Work.

Unemployed Men Will Secure Work.
The outlook for the unemploy-
ed in Monroe has greatly improv-
ed in the past few days and nor
NAL conditions are expected to
prevail within the next few
weeks. The big saw mill plant
of the Crawling Lumber Company
will resume operations Monday
giving employment to two hun
dred or more men. This will
come close after the starting of
the new plant of the North Lou
isiana Single Company Thurs
day. The Louis Werner Saw Mill
Co. has been cutting timber for
several weeks at the Dixie mill
west of the city. The Monroe
Shingfe Company's plant, which
was shut down after the explo-
sion that damaged the mill and
killed the proprietor, Mr.. C. S.
Stewart, has been rebuilt and
has been running since the first
of the year. With these four
mills in operation several hun
dred men will find employment
and the merchants of the city
will feel the effect in an improve
ment of their business. No an
nouncement has been made re-
garding the resumption of work
in the two hardwood mills. =
