Alfalfa Best Breakfast Food.

Alfalfa is the greatest known
breakfast food for Wisconsin dairy
cows and possesses a flavor that
makes the most blase COW brighten
up and pass her plate for more, .
according to a statement Just
issued by the Blue Valley Cream
cry Institute. Where it can be
grown successfully, it excels all
other hay crops in yield per acre,
feeding value, drouth resistance,
soil enrichment and weed eradica-
ton, the statement continues.
of the estimated sixty-odd mil
lions of acres in tame hay this
year, only little over ten million
acres are in alfalfa, although al
falfa will produce twice as much
or more per acre than any other
hay crop. While it takes a little
more effort to grow alfalfa its re-
qulrements are not impossible, and
only where some other legume can
be grown with extreme care and
made to produce large yields is the
omission of alfalfa from the crop
scheme on the dairy farm justif-
able.
Average farm prices per ton
shows that alfalfa generally brings
more than either clover, prairie
hay or timothy and possesses a
much greater value for dairy cows
In spite of this and other advan-
tages, however, many farmers have
failed to take advantage of the
possibilities of alfalfa. The last
census showed that while seven
out of every ten farms had dairy
cows, only one grew alfalfa, and
even IN Wisconsin, the distinctive
dairy state, while reporting cows
on ninety per cent of it's farms
counted only seven per cent grow
ing alfalfa.
The 10000 Acre Alfalfa Club
project, which has proven so effec-
tive at Sank Centre, Minnesota
and which the Creamery Institute
of Chicago is helping to organize
in various parts of the country
IL demonstrating the possibilities
of alfalfa and dairy farmers are
looking to this new feed to help
them up the road to prosperity

History Makers

When Ezra Meeker, who blazed
the Oregon trail. seventy-two years
ago, rode with United States
army air service pilot from his
home to the international air races
IN Dayton, Ohio, transportation
history was being written.
1t was a marvellous story of
achlevement-from the OK team
days to the period of conouering
the air. 1t calls to mind the dar-
ing trip that Meeker made through
the wilderness, the thrilling ex-
periences with marauding Indians
and the cholera scourge which he
endured.
The Meeker movers were Joined
by others who turned their faces
toward the new land and no story

Where this pioneer battled with

mobiles now travel with ease.
motorists finding paved roads and
conveniences on every hand, that
civilization in its sweep through
the west has brought along. The
old National Trail which Meeker
travelled in that early day appeared
as white thread as he flew in the
air conveyance.
The astounding developments
that this bare three-quarters of q
century has brought makes the
blood tingle in the veins of an
American citizen and sets his brain
in a whirl when he tries to mag

At that time Gen. Sherman's
army was camped about Atlanta
and the Confederate Gen. Hood
made raid around his lines
cutting communications and help
ing himself to such stores of RAJ
tions and supplies as he could
for his men were hungry. At that
time Gen. Sherman had some $780,
600 rations stored at Altoona
pass and Gen. French, of Hoods
army, was trying to- get them.
Naturally Gen. Sherman wanted to
save those rations and feed them
to his own men. SO he became
interested in what was going on
within sight of the signal station
at Kenesaw mountain.
Over at Altoona, Gen. John H,
Corse was in command and he put
up a right worthy fight. Gen.
Sherman hurriedly ordered help to
Corse and sent, from the signal
station on Kenesaw, the famous
message from which P. P. Bliss
made his equally famous song:
Hold the fort, | am coming"
But Gen. Corse didn't need any
help. He had disposed of Gen
French's attack before the helr
came. Mr.. Bliss might very well
have put in his song the answer OF
Gen. Corse, who was severely
wounded, which was:

Training Disabled Soldiers.

The U. S. Veterans Bureau
though it has been condemned, is
doing very creditable work in
restoring disabled ex-Service men
and women so that they may
again take their place in the
world and become useful citizens
The bureau is appealing to pros
pective employers to give consid-
GRAFTON to these men and women,
who seek not charity, but chance
to earn a living.
The fact that they have not per-
mitted their handicaps to darken
their lives, but have striven to fit
themselves for a productive occu-
patton, is recommendation enough
that they will make valuable en-
ployees.
There are approximately $4,000
men and women in vocational
training and $1,000 have already
been rehabilitated and have gone
into employment.
They are normal in appearance,
ability and their desire to be self
sustaining. Less than five per
cent have any apparent disability
and more than ninety per cent are
able men and women, viewed from
the standpoint of the occupation
for which they are being fitted.
Their disability consists of handi-
caps only insofar as their prewar
occupations are concerned.
They deserve wise and sympa-
thetic consideration, not alone be-
cause of the service they rendered
their country in time of need, but
because they have shown deter
mination to overcome their handi-
caps and take their rightful places

Seeing Stars.

With the visit of Mars during
the past summer, when it was only
34,Q00,000 miles away, and nearer
than it has been in a century, a
remarkable impetus has been given
star gazing"
November is the month of me-
teors, according to astronomers,
and during that time you will rec
ognize in the east old acquain-
tances in the Plediades and Hy-
AIDES in Taurus, and Aldebaran, the
fiery-red eye of the bull.
November was known in ancient
times as the Plead month and it
was when the ancient kings of
Persia never failed to grant any
request presented to them on Nov
ember II, the day the Pleiades
came to the meridian at midnight.
The beautiful little group, with
five stars forming a tiny dipper,
and two additional stars visible to
keen eyes, will be one of the most
noted groups in the heavens. The
V-shaped cluster of the Hyades is
scarcely less famous.
And star after star, and many
groups of stars famous for their
brilliancy, might be enumerated.

gued us into searching, with
straining eyes, the heavenly can
