PROFITABLE TO PRODUCE HAY
southern Farmer Can Raise Feed for
$40 to SIS Per Ton-Why Pay
Northerner Bigger Price?

Folks like bargains. If they can
buy at cost they will often 20 to
town and load up with things they do
not need just because they are cheap.
If the merchant placards his goods at
cost he has no trouble in selling his
stock and a great many farmers take
advantage of the "great sacrifice that
must be made in 80 days."
1t Is funny that there are so manv
who never think Of selling themselves
something at cost. Take hay for in
stance. Suppose that northern hay
is selling for 500 ton. Suppose again
that the Florida farmer can produce n
ton of hay for $40 to S15. He could
sell himself that hay ut cost and keen
the difference. which he would have to
pay for northern hay. in his pocket.
That five or ten dollars is worth saw
ing. 1t is probable also that the profit
would be greater since the price Of
northern hay is usually higher than
$50 and hay probably can be produced
in Florida cheaper than $40 a ton

quently subjected to this extreme. In
all producing sections the yield Of seed
varies greatly from season to season.
From three to nine bushels of seed Is
the average yield. Recently alfalfa
seed production has been on the in
crease in the semiarid regions without
irrigation. This seed is considered
profitable for dry hand farming. Thin
stands are best for seed production on
dry land. Planting it in rows about
three feet apart is also desirable. since
it allows frequent cultivation.
For seed the alfalfa should be har-
vested as soon as most of the pods are
ripe and the seeds yellow and hard
ened.

DEATH AND MADAM eoTTFRIED.

n NE fine day in 1925, Herr Rumf. q
~ respectable and prosperous wheel
wright of Bremen, felt much like dane
ing and singing. He had become the
owner of large handsome house In
the PelzerstraSse at an absurdly low
price. The owner and occupant of the
house, Madam Gottfried, had fallen
into financial difficulties some time pre-
viously, and had mOrtgaged the prop
erty. The mortgage fell due, and she
had no money for the occasion, so the
man who held the instrument fore
closed and offered the place for sale.
Herr Rumf made ridiculOusly low
bid and it was accepted ut once.
So this merry wheelwright felt that
the occasion needed celebration, and
he went to his favOtite gasthaus and
invited everybody to have something.
He told the good news, and was sur
prised and grieved because nobody con-
graduated him. His crOnies shook
their heads and seemed to pity him.
Herr Kaufman, the attorney, finally
INDUCED in plain speech.
"You have been so busy these many
years." said he, that you don't know
what's been happening around you.

(By A. DOANE, Oklahoma Experiment
Station.)
Alfalfa seed is rarely ever grown
commercially except in semiarid reg
ions. 1t Is difficult to grow this crop
for seed in the humid sections. About
half of the seed produced in the United
States is grown on irrigated lands in
regions of dry summers. Rain or mOis-
ture from irrigation after the alfalfa
plants are in bloom has tendency to
stimulate new growth from the crown.
This greatly reduces the yield. When
a seed crop is desired irrigation is
withheld until the seed has been har-
vested. Usually the second crop of alfal-
ia is allowed to produce seed. However
in the Southwestern states the third
crop is often preferred for seed, while
In the Eastern and Northern states 1t
is necessary that the first crops be
used for seed production.
Various factors affect the amount Of
seed that the alfalfa plants produce,
such as thickness of stand. moisture

people sicken and die. II you must
live in that house, at least see that
Madam GOttfried moves out. She may
be a good woman in her intentions and
In her life, but she is accursed."
Herr Rumf laughed at such a story.
He was hard-headed, practical man,
and didn't believe in the evil eye, or in
accursed houses. So he took posses
sion of the house, he and his family oc-
cupying the two lower floors, and Mad
am GOttfried moving upstairs. She
made pathetic plea to be allowed to
remain. She was sad. lone woman,
the victim Of unparalleled misfOr-
tunes. In brief time she had lost her
father and mother. her brother, three
children, and had been twice widowed.
The story of her troubles made such an
impression upon Herr Rumf that he let
her remain, and made his terms re-
markably liberal.
She was fine buxOm woman, of
gracious manners, and possessing a
sad, sweet smile that melted the hearts
of men. Her hair was brown, and
her complexion marvellous. Her teeth
were snowy. set rather far apart and
pointed. Had modern criminOlOgist
noted her teeth. he might have been
impervious to the appeal of her eyes.
Her upstair rooms were handsomely
furnished, and she had fine library,
chiefly of religious books, which she
spent much time reading. Her piety,
while not Obstrusive, always attracted
attention.
In q few weeks Madam GOttfried
was practically member of the Rumf
family. She spent most Of her time
IN their part Of the house. and husband
and wife agreed that she was a god
send to them. she was so helpful, so
sympathetic. She was q great comfort
to Madam Rumf. and when the latter
fell dangerously sick, the widow sell
dom left her bedside. The invalids
illness was mysterious. and seemed
to battle the doctors. She suffered
excruciating pain. Now and then she
showed signs Of Improvement, only to
experience a relapse. and at last she
died. The grief Of the husband was
equaled by the affiiction of Madam
Gottfried. who seemed inconsolable.
When Rumf went back to his work after
the funeral. he met Herr Kaufman, who
said to him: you'll be the next VIC
tim if you let that woman stay in your
house." This angered Rumf. Madam
GOttfried had been an angel to his fam
fly. The dead wOman's last smile had
been for that patient watcher at her
bedside.
Then the hired nurse who had been
in attendance, and who hadn't yet left
the house, fell sick, and also q servant
maid; three apprentices who had their
meals at :he Rumf home began to suf-
fer fror the same mysterious malady.

Wonderful Drilling Machine.

A remarkable example of concen-
trated labor saving is the new mul-
tiple-spindle drilling machine that ut
one operation drills the 46 holes re-
quired in an automobile transmission
case. The holes vary in size from 3-16
TO 27-16 inch and some are on an
angle. but all are drilled In two or
three minutes, although the work for
merly required five different machines
and involved seven different opera
tions. A 25-horse power motor at the
rear drives the main shaft. This is
connected to the horizontal heads by
steel gears and cloth pinions. and to
the vertical head by beveled gears and
correct spindle. speeds are obtained
through gear reductions in Oil-tight
