FEEDING VALUE OF ALFALFA
important That Hay Be Cured So as to Save Leaves-Rake Into Wind
 rows Before Dry.

Two-thlrds of the feeding value of the alfalfa plant Is in the leaves. If the leaves are lost in curing only one third of the feeding value remains This makes it important that alfalfa hay be cured so as to save the leaves. This means that the alfalfa must be raked into windrows before the leaves dry or they will fall off. The alfalfa should be raked into windrows an hour or two after being cut. This not only saves the leaves but also keeps 1t green and more of the flavor is re- tained.

Of that important department of the

man. Sophie Irene Doeb, a frail little
woman, who came here to make her

ers for a reduction of the price of gas
in Brooklyn, and she headed the move

ing her days of the gas fight she
probed into the affairs of the Public

discoveries, it is said, that brought
about the recent investigation by a
committee from the state Legislature.

JURY GETS CASE
Famous New Haven Trial Al New
York Nearing End. .

New York, January THE famous
New Haven conspiracy case, which has
been on trial here for several months
in the federal court, is expected to
reach the jury today. The govern
ment's prosecution of the case aimed
to bring out the story of the attempt
to monopolize transportation in New
England, by water and rail, even to
the control of electric railways. The
men accused Of conspiracy in the con-
.nection with the financial operations
of the New Haven road are directors
and former directors. all prominent
men i'm New York and New England.
William Rockefeller, brother of John
D. Rockefeller, and ten others have
been on trail since last October, and
the government has presented noun
tain of evidence in its efforts to prove
the existence of conspiracy, which II
claims existed as far back as 1890.
The prosecution has been conducted
by Robert l.. Bats and 1t is his first
big case for the government. The de-
PENDANTS are represented by an array
of the best legal lights in the east.
William Rockefeller, who has been
too i'll to attend throughout the trial,
denied in a deposition that he had
ever entered such a conspiracy as
charged, and placing the responsibility
for the acts alleged to be in violation
of the Sherman law on the New Haven
counsel.
General denial of the charges was
entered by the other defendants, sew
eral of whom testified in their own be-
hall.
The story Of the New Haven has
been before the public for many years,
and 1t had a dramatic presentation be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, when Charles s Mellen, its for
mer president, related the financial
juggling which brought the road near
ly to ruin. Mellen was a star witness
in the present aril, and for days he eX-
planned the inside workings of the fl
nancial power from Wall Street which
crushed and bought up competition in
Connecticut and Rhode Island and eX~
tended to the Boston & Maine lines
covering the northern section of New
England.
Vast, sums were paid for acquisi-
tons of competing boat and rail lines,
and for electric lines. The directors
claim they did not benefit financially
by these deals. However, there is still
pending a suit for $1O2,OOO,OO against
the former directors of the road,
brought by stockholders, who seek TO
secure restitution of the excess
amounts paid during their manage.
ment of the system.
The New Haven defendants are firm
in the belief that they will be acquitted
OF the governments conspiracy charge
They claim the government has failed
to prove its case. The prosecution is
equally hopeful of a finding of guilt
against all or part of the number of
financiers on trial.
