Alfalfa Gaining Favor
Among Horse Breeders

Many farmers have looked with sus-
picion on alfalfa hay as feed for
horses. This, however, is no longer
true" says II. r. Cox, agronomy spe-
cialist at the New Jersey State Col
lege of Agriculture, "for actual trial
has convinced most farmers that al
falfa is safe and good when certain
precautions are taken"
Farmers early found horses to be
so fond of alfalfa that If the manger
is kept full the animals are very apt
to eat too much. Accordingly their
first precaution was to feed alfalfa
In moderate amounts, not more than
a pound to hundred of live weight.
Excellent results are now secured by
making alfalfa furnish about half of
the roughage, the rest being furnished
by timothy hay, corn stover, or even
straw. This generally does away with
the danger from overeating alfalfa.
A second precaution now taken by
farmers is not to feed dusty or moldy
hay to horses, since they are more
susceptible than cattle to ailments
caused by spoiled hay, which some
times produces heaves and other trou-
bles. Because alfalfa is apt to have
little more dust or mold in it than
grass hay, special care is taken in
harvesting and storing 1t.
A large crop of alfalfa was pro-
duced on many farms in New Jersey
this year and, though primarily for
cattle feed, it will form a substantial
part of the horse ration on these

Pigs at Weaving Time
Should Be Given Grain

Pigs at weaving time should be
getting all the grain they will eat.
The ration should include tankage or
skim milk. With good pasture to
run on the pigs should be coming
right along and getting a good start
for market weight Pigs that are do
ing well should make a pound day
gain in weight.
Self-feeders are a convenient means
for feeding corn and tankage, and
the use Of self-feeders results In as
good and often better gains than the
hand-feeding method. Look the self
feeders over before you need to start
using them to be sure they are in
good working order A self-feeder
should keep the feed dry, insure that
feed Is before the pigs at all times,
and prevent waste by leakage or too
free running of feed.

Despof's Hairless Decree

Sir Harti Singh Bahadur, new ma
harajah Of Kashmir, began his rule
with an order that all his male sub
jects shave forthwith-beards, mus
taches and the hair on their heads
This curious command was made as
a mark of honor to his uncle, the late
ruler, so that the whole country might
assume a sort of hairless mourning in
his memory. Dispatches from Kash-
mir do not tell how well the people
obey the edict, but every dispatch
points out the well-known fact that the
new maharajah is known to the west
ern world by another name, mister

Sudan Grass Pasture

Sudan grass makes a satisfactory
pasture for cattle and horses but, of
course, is not equal to the legumes,
such as red clover, alfalfa or sweet
clover. However, the chief use of su-
dan grass Is as catch pasture or
hay crop. 1t may be sown about two
weeks after corn planting and will
give heavy yield If weather condi-
tions are good. 1t is seeded at the
rate of from 20 to 25 pounds to the
acre. Hogs also relish the grass.

amazing place, packed with all neces-
stiles, beautiful with luxuries, its con-
tents worth fortune. 1t had many
rooms and a broad veranda circled it.
Pine trees stood in ranks about it, and
out of the sheer face Of Rainbow cliff
at the back a six-inch stream of crys-

from the height of mans shoulder,
to fall into natural basin in the solid
rock by it's own ceaseless action.
