WATER WILL KILL ALFALFA
Land Should Be Well Drained and
Supplied With Vegetable Matter
Needs Well Prepared Soil.

Water standing on field of alfalfa
even two or three days will kill it.
Alfalfa will not thrive with cold, wet
feet.
Alfalfa land should be well drained
and supplied with vegetable matter.
While it will frequently make a fine
stand from spring seeding, the weeds
and especially the crab grass very
often destroy the plants before fall,
even though it is clipped every 80
days.
Alfalfa, If seeded in the fall, must
be put in early, about the first of Sep

growth before cold weather.

year, whereas, when seeded in the
spring, it cannot be cut for hay at
all, but must simply be clipped as oc-

FEEDING cow GRAIN RATIONS
Where Animal Is Running Down In
Flesh More Corn and Oil Meal

Time is too valuable for the average
dairyman to balance an individual ra-
ton for each COW.
The usual plan is to mix up gram
ration for the herd and feed OF 1t ac-
cording to the production of the indi-
vidual cow.
In special cases additional grain
feeds may be fed according to certain
cows needs, such as giving COW

Memories like these are inefface-

But the honored ranks of that once

PRODUCTION OF CLEAN MILK
Expensive Apparatus Not Necessary,
but Time and Labor Are Essential
Cheapest in End.

To produce clean milk the dairyman
does not need costly apparatus, but
he does have to use more time and
labor.
AS a result it costs more to produce
clean milk than it does to produce
dirty milk.
1t is cheapest in the end to pay a
little more for milk that is known to
be produced under proper conditions,
for dirty milk is very likely to cause
sickness, especially in children, and so
is expensive at any price.

BW on Memorial day. The
men who wiz ride or march on that
day are survivors of a war which 90
the younger generations has become
almost ancient history. They are all
old men, though many of them will
not admit it.
There is this strange thing about
the celebration of the day. The Civil
war became, before it ended, an anti
slavery war, but the men who were
prominent in the antislavery move
ment will not appear In the process
sions. They are gone. One can al
most count upon his fingers those who
remain. But the men who fought the
battles that were brought on by their
agitations still live, by hundreds of
thousands.
The explanation is a simple one.
The antfslavery agitators were ma
ture men-some of them old men. The
Civil war was fought. largely. by
young men and youth. More than
100000 enlisted at seventeen or be-
low that age: more than 1000, 900
were not more than twenty-one Only
1851 were twenty-five and above.
and only 46.026 of these were twenty
five or above.
And so it happens that among the
marchers will be seen many who.
nearly fifty years after the close of
the war, will not appear to be old. So.
also. 1t happens that the pension rolls
contain the names of more than AGO.
600 veterans of the Civil war, who are
still living.
II one cares to compare these Sc
lected men with those who were re-
1ected as physically unfit or defec-
tive, he will be interested In noticing
the Grand Army button on the Iapels
of the coats of gray-headed men. as
he passes them in the street. The
little bronze button, or the smaller
red, white and blue button of the
Loyal Legion, appear very frequently,
and that in spite of the fact that hun
dreds of thousands of the men select
ed as fit were killed in battle or died
of wounds during the war, and many
others have since died from disease
contracted during the contest.
The youthfulness of those who made
up the army of those days suggests a
thought not often made prominent in
discussions OF the pension question.
While pension is not designed to
recompense pecuniary losses incurred
by the pensioner in his service. it is
we'll to remember that the bow or

who left school for three years in the
formative period of his life, was never

New Electric Bell.

An original electric bell combination
is in use at Paris which is designed to
get rid of all trouble caused by the
question of batteries, for these are
now lodged within the apparatus itself.
The usual box bell shape is retained,
but the arrangement of the parts is
different in this case. All the magnet
parts are now lodged under the gong
itself, while the box being now left
free, serves to contain set of three
dry battery cells which will last for
several years. In this way there are
no connections to be made between
the battery and bell, and the wires and

which need to be attended to.-Scien-
