months. The funeral was held at his
house Wednesday at two o'clock, the
Rev. Simons of Lyndonville officiat-
ing, assisted by Rev. J. @. Angel.
The flowers were beautiful and spoke
in their quiet way of the tender re-
gard of his relatives and friends.
Impressive services were held by his
comrades of d. Rattery Post of which
he was a faithful member, where he
will be sadly missed. He served near
ly three years in the Civil War in
Co. E, 4th Vermont, and took an
active part in II battles. He leaves
to mourn his loss one aged sister,
Miss Almedia Ball, who has lived
with him nearly all their lives, and
one niece, Mrs. Stella Beliveau, of
Keene, N. H, who has been with him
and tenderly cared for him in his
last illness, also many other nephews
and nieces. The interment was in
Pleasant Hill cemetery.
School in town will begin Monday,

What Fog Is.

Small particles of water have tend
ency to fall slowly in still air, while
a very light upward current will be
enough to keep them from descending
cles. 1t has been shown that the glo-
bules of water forming a fog or cloud
are each. composed of film of water
condensed upon a particle of dust, and
the cores are solid instead of gaseous.

ALFALFA PASTURES
Many Advantages Of System Of Ro-
tation, Pasturing Now Being Dc
veloped for Irrigated Lands.

A system of rotation pasturing is
being adopted In Arizona which, in
the opinion of specialists. in the de-
partment. offers great possibilities to
alfalfa raisers in the Southwest. Far
mers who pasture alfalfa frequently
have difficulty in maintaining the
stand. This problem is especially
acute In the irrigation sections OF the
Southwest. where the season is long
and live stock kept on the fields prac-
tically the entire year. "
Continuous close pasturing starves
the roots of the plants. and the
tramping Of the wet soil does further
damage. In consequence the stand
thins out rapidly. weeds gain foot
ing. and the productivity Of the fields
ia much decreased.
The Arizona system overcomes
these difficulties by keeping the live
stock on the fields until the alfalfa
is sufficiently mature to make hay.

THE animals are then turned into the
fields in large enough numbers tc
harvest the crop quickly.
This system has been partly devel.
oped on many farms In the state, but
has been perfected on two farms to
an extent. which deserves particular
attention. The system practiced is
fully outlined in Circular 81 of the
ONCE OF the Secretary. g
II One OF these farms, situated near
Phoenix. Arix., comprises 100 acres
of alfalfa Of the best type found in
the state. 1t is divided into 8 fields
Of, 20 acres each, all in alfalfa. These
fields are pastured at different times
during the year, but occasionally the
crop is cut for hay instead Of being
.pastured of. When ready for pas
ture. dairy. cows giving milk are first
turned into the fields. After they
have secured the best Sf the feed
they are turned into a new field and
followed by dry COWS and young
stock. These clean up the field and
are in turn transferred to another.
the first field being watered and left
to mature another crop. In the case
of those fields which are cut for hay.
after the crop has been put up with
a hay loader, dry cows and young
stock are utilized to clean up the
waste hay before the field is watered.
The obvious advantage of this sys-
tenn is that the milk cows are con-
stantly supplied with the best feed
on the farm. Maximum returns from
them are thus secured. while the sec
ond-class feed is quite good enough
to keep the dry cows and the young
stock in condition. Under this sys-
tenn the equivalent Of 168 full-grown
cattle were kept on the farm for IL
months and $50 tons of surplus feed
produced has been maintained In ex-
cellent condition for 10 years now.
In describing this farm the circular
already mentioned is careful to point
out that the returns have been far
above the average because both in
soil and management the farm is ex-
ceptional. There is, however. no ap-
parent reason why the system should
not be equally applicable to farms on
which these advantages are less
marked.
Another farm near Yuma maintain
ed on 14O acres the equivalent of 141
full-grown animals for IL months
and produced in addition surplus al
falfa hay and seed to the value of
$1,S6O. This farm was divided into
five fields-two Of l 8 acres each, two
of 14O acres each and one Of "a acres.
Under the rotation system one field
was pastured five times and cut for
hay once. one field was pastured six
times and cut for hay once. two fields
were pastured of four times and cut
for hay twice. and the hfth field was
pastured twice. cut for hay once. and
cut for seed once. The circular al
ready mentioned gives in detail the
pasture and crop record of this farm.
Not only does this system result in
maintaining the stand of alfalfa and
eliminating obnoxious weeds, but
loses from bloat are reported as be-
ing greatly reduced. During IL
months only three head were lost in
this way.
