results are secured with a mixture Of
one or more grasses and at least one
variety of clover. Sweet clover alone
is used to some extent on number of
projects, but no information has been
secured which appears to warrant any
general recommendation of this crop
in preference to mixed grasses for ir-
rigated pastures. Some cases OF
sweet-clover Dloat have been reported,
and it has not been possible to secure
any reliable data showing that sweet
clover has a high carrying capacity.
The use of alfalfa as pasture crop
for cattle or sheep cannot be recon-
| mended for the northern projects, be-
cause alfalfa so frequently causes loss
from bloat. On one of the projects,
| So per cent of the cattle lost during
| the year 1915 are known to have died
from alfalfa blOat. Losses sustained
by farmers and in the experiments of
ture of the bureau of plant industry
| Indicate that it is not safe to use even
small quantity of alfalfa seed in
| pasture mixture. From the informa-
ton at present available there seems
to be no douAt that it is advisable to
confine the selection of pasture crops
to the grasses and clovers.
s"There is little uniformity at present
as to the kinds of grasses and clOvers
used. Some pastures contain only q
single grass and no clover, while 9th
ers have as many as seven or eight
grasses and two or three clovers. The
use of a single grass or several grasses
without clover is considered inadvis-
able, largely because of low carrying
capacity. The use of several grasses
which have different habits of growth
and different temperature requirements
assures more nearly continuous growth
throughout the season. For exam
pie, some grasses will grow better dur
! ing cool weather or in times of water
| shortage than other grasses which, on
the other hand, may make rapid
growth when the temperature is high
or when water is abundant.
''The two clovers most commonly
used with the grasses are white and al
sike, sometimes one and sometimes
both being used. Difficulty occasion
ally results from clover bloat where
| the clover has been seeded too heavily
or where the conditions are especially
favorable to it's growth, as they are on
some of the projects. Where the pas
ture crops include several grasses and
where not to exceed two pounds per
acre of either clover seed is used, the
danger of bloat is not likely to be Sc.
rious. In the selection of corps for
irrigated pastures, provision should all
| ways be made for variety and high
carrying capacity and this necessi'
tates the use of at least one clover
and preferably more than one grass"
The bulletin then devoteS several
pages to pasture mixtures for various
soils, method of seeding, irrigation
and management.

TENNIS, GOLF AND FOOTBALL
Former Originated in Ball Games OF
Greeks and Romans-Latter Was
Rage With Youths.

Tennis is, perhaps the Oldest of mod
ern games. 1t is said to have original
ed in the ball games of the Greeks and
Romans. The racket was introduced
during the fifteenth century in France.
where the game was very popular, and
imported into England about the same
time.
Of the origin of cricket we know but
little, though it was possibly identical
with the club ball of the fourteenth
century, and was first called "handyn
and handoute."
Bowling greens and alleys were once
plentiful in London, and Henry VIII
made an alley at Whitehall. The earli-
est trace of the game appears in an
old print Of about six centuries ago.
Golf. or "goff," seems to have made
its first appearance in the handy ball
of Elizabeth's reign, which was played
with a club tipped with horn. Prince
Henry. the son of James l, occasionally
PLAYED at this game. which was very
popular among the young noblemen of
his day.
Football became such a rage with
the London youths of the fourteenth
century that law was passed to pro-

tion-was becoming thoroughly neg

DAIRY BULLS VALUE
SHOWN BY OFFSPRING
Farmers Are Advised Not to Sci
Sire Until His Daughters
Have Been Tested.

G. G. Hayden Of the Ohio experiment
station is authority for statement
that the dairy bull may be worth more
than $1,000 in one year to a dairy herd
He shows that in the station herd ont
bull produced daughters averaging 10,
pounds more butterfat than their dams
If ten daughters produced milk for si1
years, the total production of this sire
would be worth $2,75O more than thai
of a bull that produced no increase
if butterfat is worth 80 cents pound
Since the value of the bull can be
determined only by the milk and but
ter yields of his daughters, farmers
are advised not to sell the dairy sire
until his daughters have been tested,
Buyers should not discriminate against
an old bull if he has some high pro-
ducing daughters, for his value cannot
be determined until he is at least four
years old.

Iron is absolutely necessary to en-
able your blood to change food in
to living tissue. Without it, no mat
ter how much or what you eat, your
food merely passes through you with
out doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out Of it, and as a
consequence you become weak, pale
and sickly looking, just like a plant
trying to grow in soil deficient in iron.
If you are not strong or well, you owe
it to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work, or
how far you can walk without becom-
ing tired. Next take two five-grain
tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three
times per day after meals for two
weeks. Then test your strength again
ard see for yourself how much you
have gained. 1 have seen dozens Of
nervous, rundown people who were
ailing all the while, double their

MERELY A LITTLE MATTER
Sporting Mans Remark Something OF
a Reflection on High Prices OF
CanfieId's Restaurant.

Canfeld's restaurant adjoining the
famous gambling house In Saratoga,
had in it's prime the reputation Of be-
ing the highest-priced restaurant In
the world. Its patrons included
sporting men and gamblers. If they
won they could afford to pay the
prices; if they lost, there were other
eatinghouses.
Garfield was parading the veranda
one Sunday morning after his gam
bling house had suffered one of the
biggest losses of its history.
While he was parading, Tex Grenet,
San Antonio sporting man, came up
the walk.
"Well, boss" he said with mock So
licitude, "they tell me the boys
trimmed the faro bank last night"
"They did," answered Garfield. "The
house closed forty-three thousand dol
lars loser"
"Oh, that'll be all right" Grenet
flashed, 'I'm going in now to buy half
cantaloupe."-New York World.

NEW YORK.-Upon being inter-

important factor in my winning the

Kidney Disorder
(BY DIR. v. N. PIERCx.)

'.The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder Of the human
system" The mere drinking a cup
of hot water each morning, plenty
of pure water all day, and little
Anuric before every meal has been
found the most effective means OF
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur If the kidneys did not
work day and night in separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsi,
ness, irritability, headaches, chilli
ness, rheumatic twinges, swollen
joints or govt.
Since it is such q simple matter to
step into your favor &c drug store and
obtain Anuric, anyone who earnestly
desires to regain health and new life
will waste no time in beginning this
treatment.
