MAKING SILACE
FROM ALFALFA
Not Altogether Successful But
Crop May often be Thus
Preserved

AS silage crop alfalfa is not alto
gether a success In fact, one reason
corn is so popular for silage is that it
yields Il large tonnage at one harvest
ing, something which can not be said
of alfalfa Alfalfa is somewhat diff
ficult to handle with ordinary silage
machinery and is hard to pack properly
in the silo It often becomes moldy and
Shiny, as do various other legumes
when put up in this way. Special care
must be taken in packing this silage
because of the high percentage of pro-
tein in it, which causes it to putrefy
instead of ferment when too much air
is present.
There are times, however, when al
fafa may be made into silage, for
instance, when weather conditions are
unfavorable for the curing of hay.
Good silage may be made from partial.
lv wilted alfalfa if it is cut fine enough
and well packed. If it is partly cured
before running through the cutter some
added water may improve the silage,
but experience has shown that a
"washyn silage may result if freshly
cut alfalfa is put up while wet with
rain. Under reasonably favorable con-
ditions alfalfa can be made into hay
at less expense than into silage.
Alfalfa and corn mixed make good
silage. The corn. adds the sugar and
starch necessary for the right fermen-
tation. For the same reason the mix
ing of sorghums or small grains with
the alfalfa improves the silage. The
addition of crude molasses to alfalfa
also increases the chances of producing
a good quality of silage. The United
States department of agriculture has
made some preliminary experiments
which indicate that good silage can
be made by mixing straw of any of the
small grains with alfalfa, if the mix
ing is done as the material passes
through the cutter and water is added
to make it pack well.
Although alfalfa is not an ideal sill
age crop, it makes a nutritious silage
when properly handled.

her table but also proved to be CONNER
cially practicable in preventing loss by
separating for local consumption, eggs
that, because of cracks, wetness, in
cipient spoilage, and other defects, are
likely to spoil in shipment Such eggs
are suitable for use but will not stand
shipping.
Gambling as near as.possible to source
of production will not only save trans
portation and storage charge for the
farmers who wish to buy and sell on
an accurate quality basis but will pre-
vent the loss of a valuable food pro
duct This method of conservation was
tried out during the World war and Tic
results have been so gratifying that
many states have made it permanent
feature of their food control work.

WILD AND TAME
CROSS OF TURKEYS
Interesting Experiment ProUes
Plan Produces Crop of
Harder Birds

A combination of wild turkey blood
and desert forage has won for IL. e.
Tienken, of Silver Valley, an oasis OF
the Moiave desert. Mr.. Tienken uses
wild turkey toms with domestic hens
to give the poults vitality. Large Wig
orous hens are used. The resulting
poults are much harder if given free
range, he has found. They are raised
in the open, with no shelter whatever,
as very little rain falls in Silver Valley,
and the mother hen protects them un-
til they are feathered out. Mr.. Tien-
ken has $50 young turkeys of the wild
strain for breeding.
Alfalfa is practically all the feed the
turkeys get besides insects, through
the spring and summer. When it is
cooler, in the late fall, they are given
ration of corn and other grain. This
turkey raiser says there have been
over 1000 turkeys raised in Silver Val
ley the past year, and believes this
figure will be doubled this year. Ite
lieves the deserts of California the
right places to raise turkeys.

SIMPLE TEST WILL
ASSURE FRESH EGGS

Do you know how to tell the quality
of an egg without breaking the shell
All you need is pasteboard box with
hole N inches in diameter, a strong
light such as is furnished by lamp or
an electric light bulb, dark room, and
the egg. When the egg is held close
against the hole the strong light rem
ders its contents visible and its quail
ity is indicated by the appearance of
the yolk, the white and the air space
at the blunt end. By comparing the
egg with charts furnished by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture in
department bulletin 81, it is possible to
learn the exact condition of an egg
before it is broken.
Testing eggs by candling, as it is
called, may not only be used by the
housewife in obtaining fresh eggs for

A Fuel Saver-To save expense when
using a gasoline or oil stove, cover the
top of the stove with piece of sheet
iron and turn on only one burner. The
heat will be diffused sufficiently to
cook the whole dinner as the receptacle
requiring the most heat may be placed
directly over the fire. This suggestion
also solves the problem of keeping things
hot on gas range.

THE REFEREE
RUNl.RUNNING,

Another big source of liquor supply
is suddenly shut off. Ontario. Canada,
begins enforcing special act of its
legislature that makes it illegal to trans
port liquor over highways. Liquor for
export can be shipped only by railroad
and lake route.
Up TO now, bootleggers loaded a
truck with hooch and Wandered along
country roads until they found an un-
guarded point where their cargo could
be slipped across the border into the
United States.
The new legislation prohibits this
and Ontario has a peculiar custom Of
enforcing its laws
Thus another of the rivers, flowing
into the Nolstead desert, dries up at
its source. More counterfeit Canadian
and Scotch whisky labels will be need
ed by American bootleggers.

HANGING WOMEN.

A woman in Georgia is under
sentence OF death for murdtr. The
foreman of the jury which convicted
her said the jury was convinced a
cold blooded crime had been com
mitted and that there was no reason
for clemency.
But from all over the state-aye,
and from all over the country
come the usual protests whenever a
women is to be hanged.
Ii is an encouraging sign some
day the protest will be equally
strong when the criminal is 4 man.
AN eye for an eye and tooth

cient times; it is a good law yet for
frontiers, for places and times
where man must defend his own
with his own strength and wit.
But there came One with a new
law. Thou shalt not kill say the
lawyers. was never meant for gov
crnmental authority in modern
states, One is tempted to Won
der how they know.
But ii is not upon Biblical, relig-
ious nor moral grounds that the
protest against legal murder Of
either man or woman - is gradual
y gathering headway. 1t is upon
the ground OF common sense. II
hanging was a deterrent to murders,
murders would cease. If hanging
is revenge OF the state (Which it
is not supposed to be-, it is very
poor one; Indian and lnquisition
and Chinese bandits can show
much better ones! II hanging was
an advantage to state or society
more men would be hanged!
Hanging-any death penalty:
uneconomc, unsound, degrading
The law allows visitors to tn,
penitentiaries. but hides its lega
murder from all except official
witnesses.
That is another good sign; som,
day the thing now done under GOV
