Washington. Sept. Sit will cost
Uncle Sam s7.500.000 to keep the
cup from the lip next year-or gath
er TO try 10 do it.
That's the appropriation granted
the internal revenue department for
enforcing the eighteenth amendment
and the volstead act
Besides that the Anti-saloOn lea
que will spend around s1.00O,OOO
creating sentiment in favor OF dry
law enforcement, says Wayne b.
Wheeler. general counsel for the
leagues
The government appropriation Is
expected TO cover salaries of federal
dry enforcement officials. pay OF
chemists to analyze the evidence,
laboratory supplies. travelling expens-
IS of officials and rent of headquar-
tiers in cities throughout the eoun-
Try.
In 1920 the government made an
appropriation of s2.0o0.0o0 for pro-
hibition enforcement II wasn't
enough, so il was followed later by
another $1,000. 900 appropriation.
OF this, 100000 the internal
revenue department spent s2.059.-
TIA. a.
In 1921 the internal revenue de-
partment got an appropriation OF
s7.l00, coo. more than twice as much
as i'm the previous year. The depart
ment hasn't reported yet on how ii
was spent.
Wheeler estimates the Antisaloon
league has been making an average
annual expenditure of sl.O0e,Voo
and will keep that up as long as IL
seems necessary.
But none of that goes directly for
prohibition enforcement, he said

EXPERIENCE NEEDED
WITH ALFALFA CROP
Farmer, Soon Learns Best Time
for Cutting Plant.
Government Experts Lean Strongly
Toward Fewer Crops During Year,
Holding That Larger Tonnage
Can Be Secured.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agl .culture)
Just when to cut alfalfa and how
many times to harvest a crop in one
season are questions which have re-
ceived studied attention from experts
in the United States Department Of
Agriculture and the various expert
ment stations in alfalfa-producing
states. Ordinarily it is a good time
to cut alfalfa for hay when the new
shoots have started from the crown,
and from One-tenth to one-ffth Of the
plants are in flower. But these two
conditions do not always occur at the
same time. However, the farmer with
little experience, and keeping in
mind the flower and new shoots, soon
is able to tell when his alfalfa crop
should be cut. The farmers best iudg-
ment will be called into play, with
preference given to the welfare of the
plant rather than the size of the crop.
Experiments on government plats
seem to prove that cutting is not es-
sential to the welfare of the plant,
but is only means of getting hay.
Plats of alfalfa that have not been cut

GULL POOR PRODUCING HENS
and During Early Fall Months
Comb Is Indicator.

The hens should be culled out dur
ing the summer and early fall
months, beginning to Gull out the poor
producers just as soon as they stop
laying, which is usually in July and
August When a hen is laying her
comb will be large, full of blood and
bright red in color. AS she stops lay
ing, the comb becomes small and
shrunken,. pale or dull in color, and
is usually rather hard. Another good
indication TO use in selecting those
hens which stop laying early is mOlt-
ing, as the hens that start to molt
early-that is. in July and August
are usually the poorest producers.
While a hen which has mOlted most
of her feathers is very easy to pick
out by sight without examination, the
only way to ascertain accurately
when the hens begin to mOlt is to han
die them. Before the body and wing
feathers are molted in any great num-
ber you will find short pin feathers
growing thickly on the back and in
the feather tracts running back from
the breast, indicating that these hens
have started to molt and probably
have stopped laying if their combs
and general appearance indicate non
production. The pelvic bones are also
helpful in making this test as these
two bones tend to close up when the
hen stops laying. If the spread be-
fingers or less the probability is that
the hen is not laying, while if the
spread is greater, together with other
indications mentioned, she is probably
laying.

it's for Farmer.

A concrete barnyard makes a fine
exercise lot in all kinds Of weather
and always affords dry spot for the
animals bed. Every shower washes
the surface clean and fiushes the
droppingS into the manure pits. Con-
crete yards tighten the work of the
housewife, as there is no mud to be
tracked on the walks and kitchen
floor. The use of rubber boots is un-
necessary On concrete floors not
particle of grain need be wasted The
way to the water trough is always dry,
smooth and passable. Concrete floors
promote and protect the health of farm
animals and increase the profits of
farming, stock raising and dairying.

in six years are in better physical con-
ditiOn today than those that have
been cut regularly. Government agri-
cultural experts lean strongly toward
fewer crops of alfalfa a year, holding
that as large tonnage can be secured,
for example, with three as with four
cuttings, and with less labor. EN-
phasis is laid on the necessity of leav-
ing time enough after the last harvest
to permit the plants to get a healthy
growth, approximately four inches, be-
fore frost.
