Fed With Care, Alfalfa
Is Fine Feed for Horse

IlE DlSITlCt UTeSteF DIT IOTtlduu,
1 Or, has recently received,
among other scientific reports, the
results of a study, made by the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Lincoln,
Neb., in regard to the value of alfalfa
as a horse feed. The results of this
study have been summarized as fol-
lows:
Alfalfa is a splendid horse feed,
but must be fed with judgment and
care.
Because of its palatability mature
horses are likely to eat too much al
falfa II permitted to have free access
to it.
The average farm horse at hard
work Is allowed to eat much more al
falfa and other ~roughage than he
really needs to maintain his weight.
One pound of alfalfa or other hay.
and about IL pounds of grain per
day for each 100 pounds of the
horses weight make a good ration
for the working horse.
Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse
from the cattle racks is very accept
able to horses.
Feed mature horses first and sec
ond cutting alfalfa which is free from
mold and dust.
To make the best horse hay, al
falfa should be allowed to stand un-
til well out in bloom.
In curing horse hay it is well to
keep In mind that the dust which is
present In so much alfalfa is largely
a result Of the presence Of foreign
moisture, such as rain or dew, at
making time, rather than the pres
ence Of a little moisture within the
plant.
Never feed wet alfalfa hay to
horses.
A sudden change of feed deranges
the horses digestive system. Horses
accustomed to alfalfa as a regular
part of their ration are seldom trou-
bled from its use.
If alfalfa hay is stored in the barn
for horses 1t Is well to sprinkle it
generously, while moving 1t away,
with a mixture of salt and air-slaked
lime, equal parts.
Growing draft colts have seldom,
II ever, been injured by eating too
much alfalfa and oats.
Good, w~ell-colored alfalfa is Of
practically the same composition as
wheat bran, and Is of equal value to
1t In the horse ration.
Mature horses Of a greedy disposi-
ton, II allowed to run to alfalfa
racks at will, may eat too much and
suffer attacks of impaction. Draft
mares heavy In foal and taking but
little exercise not infrequently suffer
attacks Of this nature.
An alfalfa pasture is a splendid
place to develop draft colts with a
maximum Of bone and muscle.
Some complaint comes from the
humid regions to the effect that
mares on alfalfa pasture during the
breeding season are hard to get in
foal. This trouble seems to be more
or less local and can be avoided by
temporarily keeping the mares in
other pastures.
An alfalfa patch forms a splendid
. night pasture for work horses, pro-
viding they are used to it and turned
out regularly.

London, April 14.-fBy mail to New
York )--The TWO most joyous signs Of
spring in England to the outlander Ger
tainly must be when the crocuses be-
gin to peep through the sod and the
goosepimples to fade from the limbs
Of infant Britain. Vesta Victoria's
song Its all right in the summertime,
in the summer time it's lovely" ap-
plies beautifully to the sock habit for
helpless kiddles. To be sure the sight
Of their little red and blue chapped
limbs in the thick Of the wet penetrat-
ing chill Of London winter seems to
affect tourist onlookers much more
uncomfortably than their possession
does the infant owners. These sturdy
little sons and daughters of old Eng
land trudge happily and unconcerned-
ly along bundled up to the tips Of their
tiny red noses in fur from the knee
up and from Che knee down wrapped
only in childish innocence.
Nothing is prettier than a little
rounded rosy dimpled leg emerging
from a dainty white silk sock and one
strap sandal for warm weather fash
ion. II England would only pull up
puerile stockings when the snow be-
gins to fall down it might help lot
toward doing away with the omnipres-
ent adult sniffle and catarrhal chorus.
These lovely warm sunny days. the
English child is as comfortably dress
ed as it is artistically The little short
wasted liberty frocks OF pastel tinted
blue, green or rose alike and linens
lavishly shocked and briar stitched
in self tints or Of sheer white with the
sm ocking done in contrasting colori
are quaintly appropriate to English
childhood.

Cotton fabrics are wonderfully di-
versified in weave and coloring this
year. Any sort Of fabric, from the
sheerest laces to those resembling cor
duroy in surface and weight, may be
had in cotton, and therefore its use
fulness is increased. But the standard
weaves are unaffected by the new
ones, so far, when it comes to quanti-
ties used. Ginghams, chambrays, dim
tiles and lawns make up the bulk OF
wearing apparel for children.
Ginghams and chambrays, In every
day wear for children, deserve all their
popularity. The ever-present plaids
and stripes have been most tastefully
wrought out They seem to have lent
some inspiration to those who design
dresses for the schoolgirl.
The plain oplors are liked for little
girls and boys alike, and many COM
hnations are notably good In which
plain colors are used to decorate the
plaids or stripes, or this is reversed
and the body of the garment is of the
plain fabric with the trimming OF the
figured. In the striped patterns the
management Of the stripes is cleverly
contrived to make trimming effects, SO
that the garment is all OF one kind OF
goods.

The David Copper field and Oliver

sailor suit, however, still reigns SUI

A very excellent model in striped
gingham, trimmed with plain color,
is shown in the dress for the little
miss, which appears here. 1t is a two
piece frock, very plain and easy to
launder. The long-waisted bodice fas-
tens down the front under a plait
made of the gingham with stripes run
ming crosswise. The skirt is laid in
a shallow double box plat at the front
and back and hemmed with fourinch
hem.
The sleeves are three-quarter length,
finished with turnback cuffs of plain
chambray This is decorated with a
narrow fiat braid in white. There is
small sailor collar to match and a
narrow band at each side of the waist
of the plain chambray.
Instead Of girdle there is seton
piece of the chambray cut In two
points at the front aud straight across
the back This is furnished with two
very practical little pockets.
The dress fastens with small but
tons and buttonholes set on under the
front plait. But fiat pearl buttons, in
groups of three, make the neatest OF
finishing touches, placed on the front
Of the plat.
