different soil conditions.
According to DR.. Jacobsen, the
farmers of Nevada with one excep-
ton claim that first and third crops
of alfalfa hay make the best feed
and the second crop, owing to the
coarseness of the stems, is not good
feed and is not relished by cattle or
horses.
DR.. Jacobsen will conduct his ex-
periments along chemical lines, to
determine the constituents and food
value of the various cuttings and
those results will be compared with
feeding tests being conducted by the
extension division of the university
under the direction of C. A. Norcross
and Prof V + Scott
Between so and 60 samples of al
falfa hay gathered in the Fallon dis
trict. in Carson valley. Washoe val
ley and Mason valley will be tested.
Feeding experiemnts conducted a
few months ago at the Utah expert
ment station on the feeding value of
the different cuttings gave negative
results and according to the report
no difference could be noted in
aithar tho food yalua or the desira-
bility of the various crops.

THOU shalt love the giver Of the gft. because
he has sent the gilt.
z. Thou shalt remember first the very young M
the very old.
B. Thou shalt buy within Thy means. remember
ing the spirit Of the gift and not the value.
4. Thou shalt not become party to the mere
exchange of gifts. Let thy heart go with each
and every greeting or present thou sendest out.
). Thou shalt make such gifts as thy skill may
warrant, nasmuch as the work of thy hands
gives added value to the offering.
6. Thou shalt tie up no bitter membranes with
a gift. but only peace and good will.
7. Thou shalt have thy gifts ready several days
before the time Of delivery, that the immediate
days before Christmas may be filed with peace
andhappiness, and not with turmoil and frenzy.
8. Thou shalt seek the abodes of the poor and
friendless with such wholesome gifts as may
cheeE and nourish their hungry bodies and
hearts.
9. Thou shalt not gush over thy gifts. Thou shalt
show thy gratitude in more sincere ways,
10. Thou shalt at earliest opportunity give WI ten
or verbal thanks for such kindnesses as thy
friends may have bestowed upon thee at

TWO TOTS IN A TOY SHOP
Little Denny Was Almost Beyond
Hope in the Eyes of His Older
Sister, Aged Six.

She was six if she was day; she
had little fat back in little black
coat and her wisps of red hair
matched her red m-O'shanter. In
her firm hand she held a struggling
boy about year younger, and they
were getting into the elevator at
big department store and making for
toys"
Children are not allowed, unaccOm-
panied by guardians, in most large
shops, but such was her air of re-
sponsibility of decOrum, that it would
have been a bold foorwalker who
dared to question her.
Nor, evidently, was it her first visit.
The boy, still held in leash, ran in
front and made straight for the space
devoted to Santa Claus, his reindeer
and his sleigh, piled with toys.
There was a background of fir and
cedar and huge Christmas tree, but
the pair sat down before the fascinat-
ing old fellow in his red robe, his
long white beard, holding his big
whip, and from his face the small boy
did not turn from worshiping i'll sol
emn alteration.
Across the room was creche; also
a wonderful and beautiful thing. The
infant Jesus in the manger, the moth
er in her blue robes, St. Joseph, with
his staff, the three kings respondent.
The children had been perfectly
still for fifteen minutes looking at
Santa Claus, when the little girl Whis-
pered to the boy. He squirmed, strug
gled, but she was too much for him.
She dislOdged him from his seat,
dragged him to the creche, and with
motherly, Irish piety, pressed him on
his knees.
Reverently she described the holy
group, then would incite devotion
from a more human motive.
See the COW, Denny; you mind the
COW we used to milk last summer at
the farm when we went on the fresh
air? See the goat, Denny; you mind
the goat in our alley? It's his pitcher"
But Denny whined and pulled and
pulled to be back again to his idol.
The little girl looked up. Her sigh
was that given by every woman since
the beginning, for every man for
whose soul she holds herself respoh-
sible.
Denny" she said, Denny likes
Santa Claus better than he likes God

NOT RIGHT KIND OF FOWL
Magician in Hard Luck When He
Meant to Put Finishing Touch
on Entertainment.

NOW, ladies and gentlemen" said
the conjurer, trying to make his husky
voice impressive, II will conclude my
entertainment with truly wonderful
trick. 1t is feat which must be seen
to be believed"
After a lot of difficulty he borrowed
a shabby silk hat from his village
audience Turning it upside down to
prove there was nothing inside. he
next placed it brim uppermost on his
little table and proceeded to produce
IL eggs from it's depths
The audience watched with Cog
Cling eyes, and then burst into wild
applause.
And now" the magician went on,
bowling his thanks, II will show you
that, although the hat is empty, there
is inside it the hen that laid those
eggs"
Putting his hand into the hat he
withdrew a fluttering, squawking fowl,
which he placed on the table, and
turned to face the applause.
Instead there was a wild yell of
laughter. He turned in amazement,
which changed to horror when the
fowl shrieked:
