Alfalfa Pointers

ASA'O"ihS 10 ldhG0 from EXt6n-
sion Bulletin No. 20 of the University
of Nebraska:
Alfalfa Pointers,
Alfalfa is splendid horse feed but
must be fed with Judgment and care.
Because of it's palatability. mature
horses are likely to eat too much al
falfa, If permitted to have free access
to it.
The average farm horse at hard
Work is allowed to eat much more, al
ralta and other roughage than he
really needs to maintain his weight.
One pound of alfalfa or other hay
and about one and pRe-fourth pounds
OF grain per day for each 100 pounds
OF the horses weight make a good ra-
ton for the working horse.
Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse
from the cattle racks is very accepta-
BILE to horses.
Feed mature horses first and sec
ond cutting alfalfa which is free from
mold and dust.
To make the best horse hay, alfalfa
should be allowed to stand until we'll
out in bloom.
Curing Horse Hay.
In curing horse hay 1t is we'll to
keep in mind that the dust which is
present in so much alfalfa is largely
result of the presence oof foreign
moisture such as rain or dew at max
ing time rather than the presence OF
little moisture within the plant after
it is cured
Never feed wet alfalfa hay to horses.

Impngns Honor of Midshipmen.


Il believe that at least half OF the
midshipmen at the Naval Academy
would make use of advance informa-
tion pertaining 10 an examination
even though they knew this informa-
tion was an exact copy of the ques-
tions. and had been stolen was the
surprising statement made yesterday
afternon by Midshipman ID. 5. Apple
ton. of the second class, before the
court of naval officers that is engag-
ed in a probe of alleged irregularities
in the late examinations of the mid
shipmen and other matters pertain
ing thereto.
Appleton was one of ten or more
midshipmen who testified in course of
yesterdays sitting of the court. and
the above statement was made in re-
ply TO a question OF Judge Advocate
Watt after witness had told that he
heard frequent discussions among the
midshipmen TO steal the examination
sheets. He could not mention any
specific instance or give the name of
any midshipman whom he heard talk
along these lines, but he repeated his
reply as TO the proportionate number
of midshipmen who would make use
of illegal information.
Other middies who testified knew
nothing of any such scheme being
Matched up among their comrades.
At the afternoon session 10 the court.
q turn came in the line of questioing
by the Government prosecutor in that
all of the midshipmen heard by the
court were members of the former
third class. of which Midshipman
Moss, TO whom, it is alleged, sets of
examination questions were sent
through the yard" mail. is a member
Heretofore all of the witnesses exam
ined were men OF the class graduated
two weeks ago, or members of the
present first class
