RAISING ALFALFA IN SOUTH
One Of Mysteries Why Leguminous
Crops Are Not Grown-ExceIlent
for the Cows.

The many feeding inquiries which
we receive from the South asking us
to formulate rations of cottonseed
meal and cottonseed hulls as the
chief feeding stuffs. would lead us to
believe, II we did not know otherwise,
that alfalfa or any other legume
could not be raised. We know that
cowpeas, soy beans. lespedeza, al
falfa and the like grow like weeds in
the South and it is one of the mys-
teries of the world why these crops
are not more generally grown. says
Hoard's Dairyman. Cows do not do
their best work when fed a large
amount Of cottonseed meal and when
cottonseed hulls form the entire
roughage of the ration. but they will
milk splendidly when fed with good
alfalfa or other iegume hay and corn
stlage.

IL any little ones. But the day comes
when the miserable overtaxed family
sees sunshine and bountiful reward
from the number of brothers and sis
tiers who have come to the front and
are comfortable supporters in the
homes where once the wolf could
hardly be kept from the door.
Parents realize that the best part
of their children's lives is yet to come.
AS they see them enter into young
manhood ehd womanhood, they proud
ly own that they are possessed of
great energy and youthful strength,
and from this time on they well know
that each will be apt to make the best
of his life for the sake of mother and
father and their fearful struggle
against poverty in the past.
Nothing can spur on children to be-
come great helpers like those thoughts
of dismal days when they hungered
pitifully and were lily clad in a poor
fireless room. They have no well-to-
do outside relatives who would will
ingly lend them a helping hand. This
Is the foundation of their ambition
the rise of their future successes.
It is when they drift apart, 90
alone into the pitiless world, or marry
and get together homes of their own,
that the tie of the large family of
grown children proves strongest.
There are always some who are I'M
fortunate in making their way. Fail
ures and friends who have turned
from them in adversely have made
them discouraged and scarce able to
hold their heads up. Then come the
uplifting brothers and sisters, their
hearts filed with pity, their hands and
purses outheld. determined to give
them a footing to get up and start
anew.
Many of the saddest discourage.
ments which human beings have to
face are steps from which they cannot
recover themselves. They groan out
that the one wish Of their lives would
have been to have had brothers and
sisters who would have comforted
them when pitfalls and troubles were
theirs. Instead of looking back over
the years of hardships that large
families may have brought, one and
all should realize that the future of
each child may bring loving reward,
proving an ideal help when the shad.
ows are outlived by sunshine.

MEMORY OF A KISS.

cannot tell what the words were
In which his love were told;
only know that i heard him
And that my heart grew bold.
He kissed my cheeks red roses
And held me to his heart.
Oh, henceforth, dear, together,
Ne more. no more. to part!
Oh. the roses of summer wither,
All beauty will fade away.
But true love will last forever.
Forever and a day.
It is natural for young people to
meet, be attracted to each other, seek
the companionship of each other and
drift into love-making without q
thought as to the outcome of the af-
fair.
Parents will allow their young
daughter to enjoy the society Of her
beau quite uninterrupted and even
keep quite mum of the fact that they
saw the young man kiss the girl good
night as he babe her good-by on the
doorstep. Not a word could be said II
the young couple were betrothed, but
a good deal should be said If they are
not. There is nothing in this world
more sacred than the first kiss of love
a sweet, modest maiden receives from
her lovers lips.
To the man 1t may seem a light In
cident-quite part Of love-making.
To q maid it means the awakening Of
her untutored girlish heart. The kiss
is fleeting, but the memory of 1t will
linger for all time, SO wonderful, so
sacred Is 1t.
The girl who weds her first and only
lover lives life quite apart from the
woman whose lips have yielded &C.
acknowledgement to half score of
beaux, who have come, made love,
wearied of the pastime and gone their
way. The true sentiment of the kiss
is lost upon her.
Girls who indulge in kissing games
at picnic or party grow up to young
womanhood without the proper rever-
ence for the exchange of loves most
sacred seal-the kiss There are
young men too noble to ask for such a
bond of affection when they are not
engaged to the young lady. There

them, who tell the girls that this is
part of the love-making. 1t rests with
mothers to warn unsophisticated
maidens that this is far from the
truth.
Girls who permit the freedom Of
kisses soon lose not only young
mans respect, but his confidence as
well. He soon wearies of her and
bows at the shrine Of the girl who
holds her kisses too sacred to give to
anyone save the man who has pro-
posed marriage to her and has been
accepted.
Too much cannot be said to warn
young women against the danger that
turks in permitting such familiarity.
Seldom, or never. do men marry the
maidens who do not frown on such q
caress offered them.
More girls lose lovers because of
kiss indulgence than IL supposed; 1t
turns more men than It wins. The
man who Is really In love and who is
refused kisses is all the more anxious
to marry and take the girl to q home
Of their own, where they can kiss to
their hearts content. With NO one to
advise-DONT.
