RABBIT SWlMS AND FlGHTS7
san Francisco Park Poiiceman's Re.
port Leaves Old Theory Com
pIeteiy High and Dry.

One by one the old theories are re-
Eised or upset. There is Il widespread
tradition, backed by generations of Oh
servation, that rabbit can neither
swim nor fight. But along comes Ser
seant McGee of the san Francisco
park police with bOmbshell and when
he noise and smoke has cleared away
the germ of a new theory is left even
though a hitherto unknown fact has
nOt been established.
According to Niece, quoted by the
San Francisco Chronicle, plain,
everyday cottontail has suddenly APP
peared on the island in Stow lake and
driven everything else away Never
before has q rabbit been seen on the
Island, which Is separated from the
mainland at its nearest point by fifty
yards of water.
Albert Chacquette, guardian of the
lake and its waterfowl, was the first
person to discover the presence of the
rabbit on the island" said Sergeant
MCGEE I'm his report. From the main
land shore he saw 1t In furious combat
with big setting brant. The battle
ended In the bird being driven into the
water and swimming, with loud
squawks of dismay and protest, to the
mainland. Every breeding mudhen,
goose and duck was similarly aSsailed
and expelled, Chacquette says, leaving
the rabbit in undisputed possession Of
the island.
"ChaCquette," McGees report con-
tinues. hasa theory that the rabbits
newfOund pugnacity may be due TO its
browsing too freely on the leaves OF
the juniper bushes that grow thckly
on the island His idea is that the
leaves fermented in the animals stom-
ach, creating gin, which, as anyone
knows who has tried it. might make
rabbit feel brave enough to tickle n
tigers nose and give him courage to
attempt the swimming of the Golden
Gate"
Anyway. the rabbits on the island
and nobody has admitted helping him
to get there. Also, the waterfowl that
usually breed there at this time of
year are gone. There may he no con-
nection. but there's a mystery in ii all
that nobody seems to be able to eX.

Valuable as alfalfa is. II has its
drawbacks. II Is difficult TO establish
in some parts Of the country, eSpeci-
ally in the eastern states. 1t requires
careful methods Of handling. 1t is no
crop for the careless farmer; but Is II
very profitable one for the farmer
who takes the trouble to learn how
To handle It from the seeding TO the
feeding. One of the important things
TO learn is just how to make alfalfa
hay, according to specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
Alfalfa does not cure at all readily,
and good quality hay is hard TO get
Especially is this true of the first cut
ting, which comes when heavy rains
are apt to interfere with It's proper
curing. The bright green hay so COM
mon in the irrigated sections is al
most never seen in the humid regions,
due to injury from rain.
Time of Cutting.
Most farmers are prone TO cut their
alfalfa too early. They are anxious to
get more cuttings, thereby thinking
TO get bigger crop. The fact Is, the
extra cutting is frequently made at
the expense of total tonnage. The
real test of the size of the seasons
crop is total tonnage rather than num-
Der of cuttings. Where four cuttings
are possible, three usually are more
desirable and more profitable. More
hay Is actually made for the season;
and the plants are left In better con-
dition for the winter.
The first growth usually Is rank
sometimes causing the farmer to think
1t should be cut before it really Is
ready. The stage of growth Is the in
dication for cutting rather than the
size of the plants. The general rule
is TO cut alfalfa just as 1t is coming
into bloom and the basal shoots are
making a good start for the next crop.
In the eastern states, cutting earlier
may injure and frequently kills the
plants. Cutting later lowers the feed
ing value of the hay.
Methods Of Harvesting.
Methods of making alfalfa hay
vary in different sections of the cOun-
try; hut the basic principles are the
same. The motto everywhere is: Cure
alfalfa hay quickly, with us little
handling and exposure to the weather
as possible" Rapid curing holds the
leaves on better. Less handling knocks
fewer of them off. This is important,
because the leaves are the most nu-
tritious part of the plant.
In the west, where there Is little
rain during the haylng season, the
mowers are started in the morning
and the hay raked into windows the
following day. The hay is then cock
ed or Is stacked or baled direct from
the windrow as soon as the hay is
sufficiently cured. The raking COM
mences as soon as the leaves are Wilt
ed, but when the stems are still green
1t is cooked when the stems are half |
dry" 1t may be stacked when mois-
ture can no longer be twisted out Of
wisp of the hay.
In the humid sections of the coun-
