all systems of profitable farm man
agement.
1T has taken approximately so
years for alfalfa to attain its present
position in American agriculture. It
was introduced into the western part
Of the United States in 1885," says
Mr.. Kenney. knowledge In regard
to farm crops has been comparatively
slow in its distribution In the last half
century. yet. II facts and figures are
distributed as rapidly In the next quar-
ter century as in the one Just past,
the acreage Of alfalfa will be far more
rapidly increased in the future.
Alfalfa may be planted in eastern
Kansas in either spring or fall. In
spring planting. however. failures are
frequent, no matter how carefully the
seeding is done.
Twelve to 16 pounds is sufficient
seed for soil carefully prepared. Dryer
sections, however. cannot sustain. so
many plants to the square foot and
five to ten pounds is usually sufficient
there. In the dry sections there is no
choice of time Of seeding other than
that It must be done when tho most
rain falls and that is generally the
spring and early summer"

RUSSIAN THISTLES
RELISHED BY cows;

(By H. 8. EAKINs. Colorado Agrioui

In certain parts OF the West whe
dairy. cows are placed on grass range
in the spring. they greedily devour
the young, tender, Russian thistle
plants along with other weeds and
grasses. without any apparent intvy
resulting.
However It has been noticed thai
after thistle barbs have formed, ana
while the plant is yet green, thst
some cattle persist in ingesting. undOr

Of these thistles; sometimes with Sc,

The barbs penetrate into the mucous

METHOD OF FEEDING
THE YOUNG TURKEYS
Bread Crumbs, Rolled Oats, or
Sour Milk Should Be Espe-
CiaIIy Suited to Poults.

Replying to q letter asking for in-
formation regarding the feeding Of
young turkeys, DR.. R. Fl. Williams.
animal husbandman of the University
of Arizona agricultural experiment
station, says: Bread crumbs, rolled
oats, bran, sour milk or cottage cheese
should be especially suited to the
poults. I am afraid that the cause Of
their dying 10 due to getting out into
the damp alfalfa early in the morning.

I'll the alfalfa becomes quite dry. /
do not think that the bran would cause
this trouble. No doubt the regular
chick foods prepared by the various
manufacturing companies would be
suitable but l believe that you could
prepare home mixtures Of equal value
with less cost.
The important points to be- consid-
cred in the successful management of
poults are to maintain them in dry,
sanitary place, avoid overcrowding
and give them variety of feed, IN
cluding green substances. After the
poults become six weeks old they are
usually hardy and less care is neces-
sary. The first feed should consist
of hard boiled unfertile eggs chopped
fine and mixed with equal parts of
rolled oats and fed three times day.
Do not feed more than they will clean
up In 20 minutes. At the end Of the
first week 20 poults should eat about
three eggs and an equal amount of
oats per meal. After the poults are
four days old. cracked corn, hulled
oats. wheat, kafir corn and other
grains may be scattered in short grass
or in light litter on the floor of the
pen. This will encourage them to
take more exercise and learn the habit
of searching for food. From the frst

PROF. LUCIEN /. BLAKE DEAD
End Comes to Former Head Of X. U.
Physics Department at His
Home in Boston.

Prof. Lucien l. Blake, formerly head
of the department. of physics at the
University Of Kansas, is dead in Bos-
ton, according to a personal telegram
received in Lawrence No particulars
were given concerning Professor
Blake's death. He was well known in
scientific circles because of his num-
erous inventions. He left the uniyer-
sity to engage in the manufacture of
the articles which he had patented.
Blake Hall at X. U. was named for
him., His home was in Denver.
Lucien l. Blake was professor Of
physics and electrical engineering at
the University of Kansas until Aug
ust. 1906, when he resigned to devote
his time to the perfecting and manu-
facture of some Of his inventions.
Among the best known Of Professor
Blake's inventions are an ore separ-
ator and method of submarine sig

The last invention brought him
recognition as "a hero in spite of him
SELF as a result of the sinking of the
White Star liner Republic in January,
1909 Fhe Republic was rammed by
the Italian ship La Florida off the Long
Island coast. Wireless calls were
sent out, but before they were an
swered the ships boilers were flood
ed and the wireless was put out of
commission. The Republic was fitted
with Professor Blake's system of sub
marine signaling. however, and it was
due to this invention that the liner
Baltic was led to the sinking ship and
hundreds of passengers were saved
from death in the sea.
Professor Blake's conception of the
submarine signal was the product OF
his student days at the Royal Univer-
sity in Berlin, where he studied under
Heinrich Hertz, the originator of the
theo9 of wireless telegraphy.
