Where Soap Is of No Use.


Lapland folk never speak Of them
selves at Laplanders, or Laps; they
are the Samelatsh, they say, the I'M
known people, the people of whom no
ono knows anything, not even whence
they came.
If any mention is made in their
presence of Norwegian. Swedish, Fin"
nish or Russian Lapland, their feelings
are sorely wounded, for there Is only
one Lapland, they hold, and it is their
land, the land of the Samelatsch.
These folk, as other folk, have their
whims and fancies, their little peculi.
arities, too.
They regard soap, for instance, with
profound mistrust, and have no great
faith in washing; no faith at all, in
deed, in washing in warm water.
AS soon as baby is born they bathe
it in cold water; and they battle It
again, always in cold water, every day
until, should it live so long, it is two
years old. Then the end comes.
The child is pronounced clean fox
life and has never another bath. .

Alfalfa Pointers.

Or Nebraska:
Alfalfa Pointers.
Alfalfa is a splendid horse feed but
must be fed with judgment and care.
Because of it's palatability, mature
horses are likely to eat too much al
falfa, if 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 one and one-fourth pounds
of grain per day for each 100 pounds
of the horses weight make a good ra-
ton for the working horse.
Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse
from the cattle racks is very accepta-
BILE to horses.
Feed mature horses first and Sec
ond cutting alfalfa which is free from
mold and dust
To make the best horse hay, alfalfa
should be allowed to stand until well
out in bloom.
Curing Horse Hay.
In curing horse hay it is well to
keep in mind that the dust which is
present in so much alfalfa is largely
result of the presence of foreign
moisture such as rain or dew at max
ing time rather than the presence of
little moisture within the plant after
it is cured.
Never feed wet alfalfa hay to horses.
A sudden change of feed deranges
the horses digestive system. Horses
accustomed to alfalfa as regular part
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1915-07-08

of their ration are seldom troubled
from it's use.
If alfalfa hay is stored in the barn
for horses, it is we'll to sprinkle it
generously, while moving it away,
with mixture of salt and air-slaked
lime, equal parts.
Growing draft colts have seldom, if
ever, been injured by eating too much
alfalfa and oats.
Good, well-colored alfalfa is of prac-
tically the same composition as wheat
bran and is of equal value to it in the
horse ration.
Mature horses of greedy DISPOSE
ton, if 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 at
tacks of this nature.
Splendid Place to Develop.
An alfalfa pasture is a splendid
place to develop draft colts with a
maximum of bone and muscle.
Some complaint comes from the hui
mid 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, provid-
ed they are used to it and turned out
regularly.
Because of the comparative ease
with which alfalfa may be grown in
practically all parts of this state, 1t
should form portion at least of every
horses ration.

| Different METHODS
TO PRESERVE EGGS
Use of Lime Water and Water
Glass Solutions Have Been
Found Most Satisfactory.

Of all the different schemes which
have been proposed for the home
preservation of eggs, but two have
really proved practical and service
able. These are insmersing in lime
water or in solution of water glass.
Among other things, housewives
have tried packing eggs in salt, wrap
ping them in paper, or covering with
wood ashes, and poultrymen have
sought to carry their supplies from
periods Of low to periods of high prices
by treating the eggs, with parafin
alum solution, collodion, etc. The re-
suits have invariably been the same
loss from 20 to so and even 100 per
cent. Experimenters have had the
same experience and SO far have
found the use of lime water and wa
ter glass solutions the only satisfae
tory methods.
One of the very best experiments
ever tried in the preservation of eggs
was that made several years ago by
a German investigator. He endeavored
to preserve 400 eggs for eight months
by 20 different methods. The follow
ing WERE his results

ROTTEN COFFEE.

When your coffee is harsh and
nasty, you may know that the berries
have fallen from the tree, and have
been swept up from the ground after
a certain amount of deterioration.
Remember, then, that there is one
line of coffee that is all hand picked
and pure, and buy a pound of Denison's
Coffee for trial.
Denison's Coffees are always packed
in cans, cartons or bags. None other
is genuine.
If your grocer does not have Den
ison's Coffee, write the Denison Coffee
