SAVE THE LEAVES
In HARVESTING
The Total Yields are Greatly In
creased by Care and
Proper Methods.

lin curing alfalfa for hay il is par
ticularly important TO save the leaves.
Wheter this is done depends on the
methods Of curing; the method-of cur
ing depends chiefly on the man who
is doing it. II he understands the
great value Of the leaves and have to
save them, he usually succeeds in do
ing so, because here is one place
where "too rushed for time" has no
part. Il Is an easy and rapid to cure
alfalfa properly as to handle IL in
such way as to lose most of the
leaves.
The leaves are considerable rich
err in protein and mineral matter and
about four times as rich in fat as the
stems. Cattle and hogs eat leaves as
well in properly cured hat. Moreover,
the leaves represent one third to one
half the total dry weight. With hay
at its present high price no farmer
can afford to lose from 30 to 45 per
cent Of his hay by curing improperly.
That is just what happens when the
leaves are sacrificed.
Most leaves-practically all of them
in fact--may be saved by cutting at
the time the first blossoms begin to
show and by curing principally in the
cock. Early moving Zone tenth bios
som) gives considerably larger sea-
sonal yield for three cuttings than
does later moving. The hay is more
palatable and also more nutritious
This is shown by the fact the acre
yields were in the proportion of 100
90, and So for early medium and later
cut hay. The yields Of beef We're 100
1915 and 69.5 respectively for early
late and medium cutting. These are
the average figures for the total Of
each season for five years.
Quality in the hay is further en-
, HANGED by raking at once and cock
ing as soon as possible preferably tn,
same day that it is cut. Possibl,

BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR LIVE STOCK
Experiments With New Mexican
Ranges Show New Possibil-
tiles for Industry.

Range experiments in the south
west are developing range improve
ments which will make possible very
material increase in the livestock in.
dustry Of this section of the United
States within thhe next few years,
according to Prof. r. ]. Becraft in
charge of range management studies
for the Utah Agricultural experiment
station.
Prof. Becraft recently made a trip
through California, Nevada, Arizona,
New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming
to study the range experiments of
these states and to learn what they
were doing to develop this immense
industry which will of necessity al
ways be of great importance in the
west.
Two of the most important expert
mental reserves visited by Prof. Be-
craft were the Santa Rita Range Re-
serve and the tornado Reserve a tract
of 10000 acres near Las Cruises, New
Mexico. On both sides of these re-
serves, which under the supervision
Of the U. s. Forest Service, very ex-
tensive experiments are under way.
The tornado Reserve is a semi-des-
ert range which received an average
Of only eight inches Of rainfall an
nually. Wonderful results have beer
obtained on this reserve in range i'm
provement even though year Ions
grazing is practiced, according I,
Prof. Becraft. This has been accom-
plished by stocking very highly tn,
most choice rage, the grama gras
type, during the growing season
determining just what the rang
would carry and then not overstock
ing it, and by the better distribution
Of water places. These factors are re
sponsible for so per cent increas
in foliage in three years time.
Another big problem under investi
cation on this range is the preventio
of disastrous losses of cattle durin
drought periods. In 1916, 1917 and
Z 10 very severe drouth was experi
enced in the southwest. On the reserv
/ the steers and culled cows were dii
posed Of and an attempt made I

thirds Of the herd. These were sue
cessfully carried through the drouth
by supplementary feeding whereas on
the open range thousands Of cattle
died and many stockmen were finan-
cially ruined.
"ln different parts Of the country
the range problem VARIES" says Prof.
Becraft, "bnt without doubt much of
our range is capacity and the adjust
ment Of number Of stock manage
ment, other problems suih as the bes,
range receeding, deferred grazing
cts. furnish a rich field for expert
menta work in this state.

tains its leaves, is bright in color and
palatable. Furthermore it is easier
to handle both in loading and unload
ing. Firmer and more symmetrical
stacks can be built from the compact
fiat fakes made by cock-curing. Such
hay also sheds water better than
swath-cured hay which consists main
ly of stems and which is invariably
too loose and too dry to handle well.
Alfalfa leaves are valuable. They
increase the total yield by about 30
to 46 per cent. They are also better
feed, pound for pound than bare
stems.

This Is the tale Of Willie Wise, who pompa
Al Kelly pool, beyond doubt he certainly
was there
IIe knew the latest dancing steps at bridge
he was shark.
lie wasn't very much by day, but wonder
after dark.
1t mattcrcd very little what the function or
affair,
~ Willie Wise 1t could be said he certainly
was there
tie was there with all the line Of talk that
fills the idle hours,
At posing in the umeighrs glare he had un-
usual powers
lie wore the latest things in clothes and fell
for funny hats,
He had watch upon his wrist and dressed
his feet In spatS,
He was perfection all the time, he wore silk
underwear.
In dress ana manner, ! should say, he GER
taiuly was there.
YOU could depend on Willie Wise-he'd tell
you himself,
In matters social no one here would leave
him on the shelf.
lie knew conventions rules and laws from
\ TO T. and then
lie had some little clever tricks unknown to
many men.
At tea or dinner, opera, show or church
bazaar fair
He'd shine among the shiniest for he was
surely thcrcl
But when II came to honest toll and dutiez,
hard to face,
II seemed to us that Willie Wise was sadly
out OF place,
lie didn't like the office grind and had no
| use for, work
| And wouldh't carry any load which somehow
| he could shirk
lie hmndered everything he tried, and didn't
| seem to care
| For when II came to making good--he simply
| wasn't there,
