EXPERIMENT TO FIND OUT
TRUE WORTH OF ALFAl IA.
Only by This Means Will You Get Con.
v%incing Evidence as to It's Vatu e.

Only by systematic experimentation
on the part of the individual growers
living in various sections can be proved
the true worth of alfalfa as a soil i'm
proven and a forage plant.
This was the opinion which T.. F..
GRADER, secretary Of the Alfalfa Order
of the Wisconsin Agricultural Expert
ment association, expressed at the or
ganiZation meeting Of the Kentucky
Alfalfa Growers association. He re-
ported that in Wisconsin many Of the
growers have been carrying OIL expert
mentS for several years to determine
the hest rates of seeding and have
found that from fifteen to twenty
pounds TO the acre are generally best
under Badger State conditions.
Southern and northern grown seed
have also been tried out in competition
With each other. The reason has been
that southern and southwestern seed,
which usually is somewhat cheaper,
seems to do as we'll under Wisconsin
conditions as that grown farther north.

numbers 1900 members and is stead

The policy Of the organization is Il con-
sentative one. its members o desir-

WHITENING YOUR BEES.
Safe Plan For Leaving Them Outside
on Summer Stands.

1t is q common practice in New Eng.
land to winter bees on their summe
stands, ana this is a perfectly safe
plan If suitable protection be given.
Probably the simplest and most sue
cessful method is to keep the bees in
ten frame hives and to replace the
end frame on each side With 4 char
division board. This confines the chs
ter to eight frames and keeps it away
from the cold walls.
In any case the top of the hive
should have careful attention. for that
is where the greatest danger lies. The
best plan is 10 tack a piece Of bur]on
on the bottom OF a super or 4 winter
case and set it oyer the hive without
any board under it. Then the super
should be filled with shavings or chaff
This arrangement allows for the grad
ual escape OF moisture from the hive
and gives greater satisfaction than
h use OF n board over the hive. An
Ordinary hive cover may be used, but
the new metal o o double cover is
much to be preferred.
When this general plan is adopted it
is a simple matter to feed the bees
even in winter by using the sugar
cakes now On the market. These
cakes come in pie tins, which are in
verified v G the frames, and may be
slipped in place at any time by simply
raising the super q little.-American

The Lesson Explained. Chapter tx,
LILLIAN unexpected interview.
Samuel combined with his vision of
need and his unselfish public Sc rvice
an unusual administrative ability and
an effective leadership. After the
training which the people rec ived
from him they had 10 desire to go
back to the anarchy and confusion Of
q former day. They desired to have
political standing among the neighbour
ing nations, and to this end they
wanted q leader. Samuel showed his
real greatness at this important crisis.
At first he felt aggrieved because he
thought that this popular nov ment
showed a lack OF appreciation OF his
faithful services, but on further CON
siielation and communion with God
he determined to grant the people s re-
quest and to select Il man who was
capable Of fulfilling their expectations.
The one chosen for this responsible po-
sition was Il man from the country of
the name OF Saul. Saul was dir cted
to him as one who could help him.
When Saul came into the presenc &c OF
the prophet he was received with un-
usual courtesy and granted Il yer IA

at the base is 1000 feet. At the water
