ALFALFA TEA NOT IN FAVOR
Evidence Does Not Show Any Great
Advantage TO Be Gained by
Use of Liquor.

Alfalfa tea, made by pouring boil
ing water on hay and allowing it to
steep for a few hours, or by stirring
alfalfa meal into cool water and
straining the mixture after several
hours, has been highly recommended
from time to time for feeding young
animals, but the evidence reviewed by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture does not show any great adj
vantage to be gained through the use
of this liquor. Some experiment sta
lions have found that pigs made better
gains when cornmeal and middlings
were mixed with alfalfa tea rather
than water, but the additional gains
we're hardly enough to pay for the in
creased expense. Calves fed alfalfa
tea made poor gains and suffered
much from scours. On the whole, the
practice Of making this tea for live
stock should be discouraged, says the
department.

out in a recent Farmers Bulletin 1908,
The Angora Goat, published by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture, which contains detailed in
formation about these useful animals,
from brief history of their develop
ment down to management of goat
ranches, the marketing of mohair, and
the treatment of diseases.
Texas is the leading goat-raising
region of the United States, having
more Angoras than all other states COM
binea. Conditions Of topography, IL
tftude climate, and price of land have
all joined to help make the ranches
successful Open-brush range, similar
to that in Texas, makes the remaining
part of the Southwest second in Angora
ranging. Many fine orchards in the
Northwest stand on land that was
brushed off by the goats, and there is
much land in that region that is adapt
ed for permanent goat ranging. The
Ozarks, in southern Missouri and
northern Arkansas, contain many
bands of Angoras and will support
more on a permanent brush-utilizing
basis supplemented with winter feed
ing. Outside the areas where there is
typical goat range Angoras may be
used for brush clearing by handling
them much as sheep are handled.

SORRY He GAVE BOY RIFLE

Small Nephew.

Uncle Ed, who is proud of bright
eyed Bobby, his brothers four-year-
old son, before Christmas hoped they
did. Now he hopes they don't.
When Uncle Ed was boy he
played with a rifle. The toy, he al
ways confdes to himself, was the
foundation of his winning a sharp
shooters badge in the army. That
was the main reason that he gave
Bobby an air rifle for Christmas last
year.
Ed, since then, has imagined Bobby
shouldering the weapon and play

Cartoonists to the contrary, not,
withstanding, we wish to say for the
benefit of the young unmarried man,
wives do not rule their husbands with
a rolling pin. They just use a wag'D
tongue.
A married man does not have to
ask his wife what he can do and
can't do. She tells him without his
asking.
The average woman's idea of a
model husband is the one somebody
else has married.
Looking over pictures of the kind
of clothes the. girls wore thirty to
forty years ago makes us glad the
present styles are what they are
Girls are so much more interesting
than clothes.
And speaking of going away from
home to get the news, many wife
never knows what a wonderful hus.
band she has until some of her lady
friends tell her.
Most every girl has just enough
WlckednesS IN her makeup TO feel she
would like to do a little vamping-i if
she had the nerve and looks.
Now they are calling attention to
the fool kind of clothes mother wore
to prove she was a fapper, too. But
they will have to admit she tapped
with a good many more clothes on
than daughter does.
We know the law of gravitation
keeps us on earth, but will somebody
please tell us what keeps lady's
ultra decollete dress from slipping
from its moorings?
The reason why man does not
shave as often after ne is married as
he did before is because he does not
kiss her as often as he did then.

BY-PRODUCTS

THE Standard OIL company has
found way to utilize all the
residue from the distillation of pc
troleum. Gasoline, now one Of the
chief products of the concern was once
by-product. All the coal tar de-
rivatives. from which many drugs and
medicines are made, are by-products.
So are paraffin, candles, and hundreds
of other articles in every day use.
The Standard Oil company is a big
concern. 1t has thousands of tech
nically trained experts at work for it.
1T has plants all over the world-the
biggest plants of the kind in existence.
Such an institution can well afford
to go into the business of making by
products, and to expend a part of its
almost limitless energies in getting
all that is possible out of the crude oil
which flows from its wells.
But the business Of developing by
products Is for corporation, and a
big one-not for an individual.
You may fancy that you can throw
