BEDTIME STORY
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

there would be nothing to eat any
way. So wise old Mother Nature
has provided that the fat Johnny
Chuck lays up shall take the place
of food.
You know how II is with food.
We take ii into our stomachs and
from there it is taken into our bod
les to build them up and to make
the heat which keeps us warm. In
Johnny Chuck's case Old Mother
Nature has fixed things so that the
body can get what it needs from
the fat with which 1t is covered. II
needs only very little at time
during the winter, because you
know Johnny Is asleep; curled up
quite motionless. A great deal of
the food we eat is used up In what
Is called energy. which is the power
of moving about and doing things.
You know how IL is when you are
sick and cannot eat. In a little
while you have no strength to move.
You are very weak. But II you
did not have TO move at all you
could live a long time with very lit
tie food. because none of 1t would
be used for energy. II is the same
way with Johnny Chuck. Sleeping
and lying perfectly still, he needs
no food for energy, and so his body
gets all it needs by absorbing 1t
from the fat. Absorbing means TAX
ing in the way a sponge soaks up
water.
So you see it was quite as I'M
portant to Johnny Chuck that he
should be fat enough as ii was TO
Striped Chlpmunk that he should

have his storehouse filed before the
coming of Rough Brother North
Wind and Jack Frost. II was this
that Johnny had on his mind as he
sat on his door step that bright,
cool autumn afternoon. There was
still plenty of food. He could eat
more If he really needed 1t. To be
sure he was tired of eating. For a
long time he had been eating, not
because he was hungry. but to store
food away In the form Of fat. His
neighbors didn't understand this.
They watched him eat and grow fat
ter and they called him plggish. OF
course this was very unfair. He
was no more piggish than was
Striped Chipmunk filling his store
house. The only difference was
that Johnny Chuck's storehouse was
under his skin.
Il wish ! could know If the win
ter is going to be hard and long,"
said Johnny as he waddled over to
a patch of clover. He was already
so fat that he was roly-poly and
waddled when he walked. "I'm
sleepy enough to go to bed right
now, but want to be sure that
am fat enough"

The matter on Johnny Chuck's
mind was whether he was fat
enough to sleep comfortably all win
ter. That seems like funny thing
to have worrying one, doesn't It?
But II wasn't funny to Johnny
Chuck. No. indeed, 1t wasn't funny
at all. II really was very serious
He knew that a great deal depended
on the amount of fat stored away
under his skin before he said good
by TO everybody and went to bed
deep In the ground to sleep until
spring. If he were fat enough II
wouldn't make much difference to
him how cold the winter might be
or how late sweet Mistress Spring
might be In coming to wake him up
But If he didn't have fat enough
tucked away under his skin he might
not be warm enough. and If Mis-

but Il Is true. The fatter he was the

While he slept through the long,
cold months of course he would eat
nothing. In the first place he

Then the Alfalfa Grows !

Summer following for alfalfa is
becoming a generally accepted prac-
tice, even in eastern Kansas. A
good stand usually results; the prac-
tice conserves moisture, aids in the
formation of available plant food,
and puts the soil In ideal physical
condition. Ralph Ross of Valley
township, Linn county, prepared a
field in that manner In 1890; his
first cutting last spring averaged

Alfalfa, as Feed,
Superior to Corn
Records Kept by Illinois
Farmers Support the
Contention.

Corn may be the leading grain
crop of Illinois, but it has to take
second place behind alfalfa when
it comes to producing the greatest
amount of digestible feed an acre
at the least cost. This is an i'm
portant point in cutting down the
feed bills, one of the big items in
the farmers expenses.
Records kept by farmers showed
that corn, averaging AZ bushels an
acre, produced digestible nutrients
at the rate of 2,0S7 pounds an acre ;
winter wheat, averaging "a bushels
an acre, produced 1,149 pounds ;
soybeans, yielding 21h bushels,
produced 1,216 pounds; oats, yield
ing 40 bushels, produced S94
pounds; and spring wheat, yield
ing 17.3 bushels, produced 82S
pounds of digestible nutrients.
On the basis of the records kept
in 1881 by these farmers, the cost
of producing 100 pounds of diges-
tible feed was $120 with corn, $2.02
with winter wheat, $2.15 with soy
beans, $2.18 with oats, and $2.25
with spring wheat.
Among the hay crops, alfalfa,
with an average yield of slightly
more than two tons an acre, pro-
duced 2,146 pounds of digestible
feed; mixed clovers, averaging 1.5
tons an acre, produced 1,434 pounds
soybean hay, yielding 1t tons, pro-
duced 1922 pounds; and red clover,
averaging II tons, produced 1920
pounds of digestible nutrients.
On the basis of these figures, 10C
pounds of digestible nutrients were
produced at a cost of $1.14 with
alfalfa, $1.46 with mixed legumes
$1.48 with soybean hay and SITS
with clover hay.
