ALFALFA AS GREEN FOOD FOR
POULTRY
Rich In Protein. Does Not Spoil.
Very Much RelIshed by
Fowls

The value of Alfalfa as a portion
of the regular diet for fowls can
hardly be estimated( Its value
is widely recognized by successful
poultrymen and today it stands pre-
eminent among the grasses, plants
and vegetables as a source of protein.
lime and mineral salts in soluble and
digestible form. Furthermore, the
fiber contained in it is necessary and
desirable as a mechanical stimulant
to intestinal action, making 1t ex-
ceedingly valuable as green food
for poultry-in fact, there is no other
winter green food that approaches 1t
in these particulars, and fowls relish
it very much.
Some of the important reasons why
green cut Alfalfa meal should form a
part of the fowls daily ration Is as
follows:-
Nourishing green food is essen
tial to the health of fowls, and alfal-
ia is richer in protein, the bone, sinew
and feather making element, than any
other available form OF green food
The high feeding value of alfal-
ia is not dependent alone on it's own
elements, but when it is mixed with

a grain ration and taken into the di-
gestive organs, the nutriment In the
grain is better digested and made
more available for assimilation than
it possibly could be without 1t. The
full feeding value of the ground
grams in your dry mash is better OBJ
tanned with the aid of alfalfa, there
fore, it should be part of the dry
mash for egg production.
3 Alfalfa aids digestion and Also
stimulates the appetite of fowls for
more grain food. Not only do all
animals like it, but when given In
moderate quantities it seems to in
crease the general appetite for more
feed and aids digestion.
Alfalfa is a frame-builder and
aids greatly in the health and finish
ing of the pullets when put into
their winter quarters and it is very
important that the dry mash which
they are given should contain green
cut alfalfa meal. 1t means healthier
flock and better egg production.

FIFTY GROWERS NEEDED To CONTRACT
FOR COOPERATIVE HAY MARKETING
Method Similar to that Employed in Aroostook
for Marketing Of Potatoes

contracts. While there are a good
number of farmers in Skowhegan and
vicinity interested In this movement,
1t can be readily seen from the above
that it is necessary to secure the con-
tract of fifty hay growers here be-
fore any definite steps can be taken
in this marketing plan. The men
who have already signified their de-
sire to work with the association un-
der the terms of the contract which
has been partially outlined are at
tempting to interest all farmers pos
sible In the movement and another
meeting will be called at an early
date. Present indications are that
a sufficient number are interested
enough to take hold of the PROPOSE
ton.
The State Chamber of Commerce is
behind this action and an act of Con-
gress has made the movement posi-
BILE. Last year the hay market was
at decidedly low ebb and for that
reason there are practically two sea-
sons hay crops in the farmers barns.
This method OF marketing hay will
be conducted on practically the same
line as the potato marketing Is car
ried on In Aroostook County.
Another meeting will be called at
an early date.

S Alfalfa increases the egg yield,
also the size of egg. It's nitrogen
contributes to the afbi1men of the
eggs and to the growth of the young
chicks.
9 Alfalfa is a food that savAriubly
produces the desirable rich golden
yellow color In the egg yOlk and II
also adds greatly to the richness Of
color of skin of the yeliow-skfnned,
yellow-legged breeds and Varieties of
domestic fowls. This yellow pig
ment is what the laying hens draw
from her body with egg production,
in culling the absence Of the yellow
pigment from the skin, legs, beak,
vent, etc., in ,one of the best fndica-
tons of egg production, therefore,
/ 1t is very essential that alfalfa should
be part of your dry mash.
z Protein is the foundation OF
vigor in the male bird and alfalfa,
being richest In protein, is the most
valuable of all green foods In this
respect. 1t benefits the hens In the
same way. Complaint has been made
by farmers and ,poultrymen that
there are too many infertile eggs and
many that are fertile do not hatch.
The financial losses are great II
fourth or third OF the eggs used for
incubation prove infertife. The same
elements that contribute to growth
of the Matched chicken also add 20
the vitality of the embryo, increas-
ing the percentage of fertility and
hatchability and adding to the vigor
of the newly-hatched chick.
Alfalfa is especially recommend
ed for fowls when melting, because
1t supplies feather-making material
in an easily digested. readily con-
vertible form and also produces the
rich lustre that Is SO much desired
in fine fowls intended for exhibition
purposes.
Alfalfa promotes health and Wig
or in breeding stock and therefore,
it can readily be seen that 1t is very
essential that the breeding pen
should be fed dry mash which con-
tanned green cut alfalfa meal.
10 Fowls do not really begin to
satisfy their hunger until the food
has been ground and expelled by the
gizzard. Fowls have been known to
starve to death with a crop full of
food, merely because it could not
pass to the gizzard, and thence on
to be 'digested. One of the objects
in the use of green cut alfalfa is
to so manage that the feed will not
become so compact in the crop that
the digestive juices cannot penetrate
the mass and prepare it for further
manipulation in the gizzard and the
real stomach beyond.
One can easily imagine that the
crop of fowl flied to distension with
wheat or other grain would soon be
further distended by the swelling of
the wheat. This, as 1t passed thru
the igizzard, would be ground to a
pasty mass which would absorb the
digestive juices OF the real stomach
very slowly.
The hen swallows her food hastily.

A. b. Clement, president of the
Maine Farmers Exchange, met a
group of Fairfield farmers last Thurs
day night in the interest of form
ing Maine Hay Growers Exchange.
Mr.. Clement explained that this pro-
posed organization has the endorse
ment of the Maine Farmers Elk
change, the State Chamber of Com
merce, State Department of Agricul-
ture and the University of Maine
Extension Service. The plan as
outlined met the hearty approval of
the men present at the meeting. A
temporary organization was formed
and an organization committee APP
pointed. Within the next few days
the members of this committee will
present the details of the proposed
organization to the hay growers in
their respective localities. And In
about two weeks, at date to be ar
ranged with Mr.. Clement, second
meeting of the hay growers of this
locality will be held to sign up con-
tracts and complete the organization.

Twelve hay growers interested IN
the Cooperative Marketing plan as
advanced by A. B. Clement, manager
of the Maine Farmers Exchange, met
here last week at the Skowhegan
Jersey Creamery building and made
special plans with view to the sale
of hay. The Maine Hay Growers
Exchange is non-profit association
with its principal office In Portland.
Its purpose is to reduce expenses In
preparation for market minimizing
waste, standardizing grades and elm
nation of speculation; and for stab
ilizing hay markets in the interests OF
the public. The general plan Is that
the association shall agree to buy
and the grower agree to sell and de-
liver to the association all the hay
produced or acquired by or for him
in Maine during the years 1923-l924
and 1925, except such as he may re-
serve for consumption by his stock,
including a sufficient quahuty an
nually to feed his livestock and a
reasonable carry-over not to exceed
one-fourth ton per animal, two years
old or more. This hay Is supposed
to be delivered at the earliest posi-
BILE time after harvest. to the order
of the association at the nearest
warehouse or other plant controlled
by the association. The association
will also have the right to pool the
hay of the grower with hay Of like
variety delivered during the same
season by other growers after which
the association agrees to resell such
hay.

locality for the purpose Of marketing

New C0ntainer for Retail Milk

Peter W. Merry has been doing n
little investigating with reference to
a new container for distributing milk
to the retail trade.
This consists of paper bottle,
the material being parafined outside
and in. 1t is used under the appro-
val of the Maine Department OF Agri-
culture and bears the Maine seal.
They are made in half pints, pints
and quarts. Mr.. Merry has already
had the two larger sizes. He pur-
poses to supply his customers for one
day at least with these containers in
the effort to test out their practi-
cablity.
AS these new bottles, so-called, do
not have to be returned, it will OBJ
loss from breaking There are
many other obvious advantages.
With the glass bottle the customer
has the feeling that the one he gets
one day has been through several
other families in preceding days.
While at Mr.. Merrys. establishment,
they are thoroughly washed and
sterilized, there would be a comfort
able assurance, with this new con-
tainer, that it had never been pre-
yiously used.
Those who recall the ordinary way
Of Gaping milk bottles will be inter
ested to know that Mr.. Merry has
been using a special cap for the past
six months. Instead of the single
thickness of pasteboard, this is built
up of two discs, the lower one slight
ly larger than the upper. These are
filed between, a thickness of about
one-eighth inch, with still other discs
slightly smaller than either. This
leaves, 1t will be observed, an air
space all the way around. The de-
sign operates, when the cap is pres
sed into the bottle, to form a vacuum
in this air space just mentioned,
which causes the cap to stay very
firmly in place A bottle closed with
this cap can be laid on its side in
definitely and no milk will escape.
Nor will the fluid contents ooze up
On top Of the cap, as is so frequent
with the ordinary discs in common
use. This is considered the most
perfect bottle cap made. Milk ex-
hibited by Mr.. Merry at the Somer-
set Central fair last September, in
bottles making use of this cap, got
perfect score as to the caps and con-
tainer.

Brutal Murder In Moscow

While hunting through the woods
this fall one of our neighbors came
across a lonely spot in the vicinity
" Pierce Hill, where 1t was discover
ed that on some dark and dreary
light last fall, when the moon failed
to cast its silyery rays upon Mother
Earthb a horrible crime had beGn
committed. 1t was CHASTITY to look
Upon, for what remained Of the VIC
tim was just skin and bone. The
murderer having even gone so far as
to mutilate the body in manner be-
vond all human Imagination. It is
little wonder that the discoverer of
such crime felt cold ohills run
down his spine and cold sweat stand
out in great beads upon his forehead.
He gazed for few moments upon the
spot and decided that it would be
best to report the matter to a second
party, thereupon he retraced his
steps as far back as he could see
them and told of his nerve shocking
news at the nearest farm house
From there the news were reported
to our town officials who at once
came to investigate and having been
conducted to the spot where the crime
was committed. discovered that at
some recent date a Mr.. Bruin had,
with malice and forethought des-
cended upon flock of sheep owned
and priced by Mrs. Waldo Dunton, Sc
lected one Tor which his appetite
craved, dragged 1t away where he no
doubt believed his crime would never
be discovered, and there as above
described put in his brutal work upon
one so young and innocent.
The state has been notified, but
up to the time of writing, the muir
derer is still at large with the charge
of murder in the first degree hang
ing over his head.
