ALFALFA SILAGE FOR STEERS
Animals at California Experiment Sta
ton Made Satisfactory Gains and
Brought Profit.

California experiment station made
silage out of their first cutting of
alfalfa last summer. The field was
foul with weeds, there being much
foxtail which was nearly ripe. with
boards already hard. 1t was decided
that the cutting was practically value
less for hay. and therefore the crop
was put into the silo.
The steers were fed on rolled bar
ley, alfalfa hay, and the alfalfa sill
lage. In two months they made a
satisfactory gain, and were sold at
a profit of about S. per head.
The silage as fed out was about
half foxtail, but it was always eaten
up clean. The experiment shows that
silage may be made from weedy al
falfa which would make but inferior
hay, that such silage will be eaten
without waste, and that it can be used
as a supplementary food for fatten-
ing on alfalfa hay and barley.
It is suggested that where the first
cutting of alfalfa containing foxtail is
to be used for silage, the work should
be done before the foxtail boards be-
come hard.

Objectionable to Poland-China breed
ers. In color the Poland-China is
black, with six white points-on the
face, on the tip of the tail and on the
feet.
The Poland China was originally a
very large hog, but has been bred for
refinement and compactness SO long
that at the present time it will not
weigh as much as the Berkshire.
Poland Chinas are good feeders ana
early maturers. They are suited
rather to lot feeding than to pasture
feeding. as they have not the rustling
qualities as some of the other breeds.
Still they will make good use of pas
lures The meat of this breed is ten
der and fine-grained, but there is more
fat than the average consumer likes
and the fat Is not suitably distributed
with the lean. The Poland-China is
not quite as good as the Berkshire or
Duroc-J Jersey in breeding qualities.

REcLUsE is A PHILOSOPHER
Negro Found Living In Cave Near
Santa Barbara, CAL, Tells Some
Plain Truths.

There's rich living in garbage"
says OrTin Swift, negro recluse, who
has Just come into publicity through
the Judgment of complaint question
ing his sanity, reports dispatch from
Santa Barbara, CAL He has for 20
years lived in little cave on the
mountainside, between Rincon and
Ventura
When the officers went out to in
vestigate they found him curled up in
q corner of the cave sleeping the
morning away. The place was lit
tered with tin cans. When aroused
Swift greeted his visitors cordially and
explained to them his mode of life
and the reason therefor.
Civilization" he said, els only an
other evidence Of how slavery can be
lifted up and made possibly more re-
fined outwardly. The man who works
for his living is nothing more or less
than q slave. He il q slave to the
whim of his employer, who may dis
charge him just like that" and the
negro snapped his finger.
eff a man has an income today he
may not have one tomorrow. The
consequence is that both the man who
tolls for an employer and the man who
draws his income are slaves to worry
neither of them knowing the peace
and happiness that comes with the
quiet life. Men would live forever II
it were not for worry. That's the
most subtle destroyer the human fam
lily is prey to, for it leads to all other
ailments whose windup is death.
Here l am living contented. No
one can demand rent or taxes, and
1 find my living in the garbage on the
town dump, many fine morsels being
left in cans and otherwise thrown
away. There's rich living in garbage"
The mans talk was rational. though
strange, and his conduct was quiet.
Therefore, the officers left him to his
lonely life.
There Is . whole lot Of genuine
truth in his philosophy" said the
sheriff. MEN die from worry and
what comes in its train, and the race
will die more rapidly as it advances
in civilization, for the burden Of tan
alton grows apace."

QUALITIES OF POLAND-CHINA
Breed Considered Ideal Of Lard Type
of Hog-Gives High Per Gent of
Marketable Meat.
(By D. L. GRAY.)

The Poland-China breed of hogs
originated in the state of Ohio. This
breed is considered the ideal of the
lard type of hog. The individuals are
broad on the back, compact, low, and
dress high per cent of marketable
meat. The back is broader and
shorter than that of the Berkshire,
but the latter has the advantage of
the Poland China in length of side.
The face of the Poland-China is
longer and not dished so much as that
Of the Berkshire. While the ideal ear

Truth is eternal, but the knowledge
Of truth Is progressive, and 30 the re-
ligtous Ideas OF tho race change. widen
and rise to higher visions. God Is
changeless, and the same principles Of
Justice and love ever govern His deal
ings with man: but like the parent who
changes his domestic regulations as his
family grows older. God has new dis
pensations for tho later ages of the
human family. There must ever be
milk for babes and meat for strong
men. The Old Testament itself de-
clares that many of its texts shall be
superseded.
In Jeremiah's time the law was writ
ten on tables Of stone. and the Israelitss
were governed by Gods law given them
from without. but he foresew the
time when tho law should be written
in mems hearts. These verses express.
in Old Testament form, the doctrines Of
regeneration and sanctincation. The first
man of tho new covenant was Christ
Jesus Himself, and Gods law was writ
ten on the heart Of His Son. These
questions can never be settled by the
intellect alone-there must be heart
