points on tho railroad will arrange for
five to ten automobiles to carry the
speakers in all directions into the coun
try to farm homos, school houses and

to carry the speakers to the points
in the country where meetings aro to
bo held.
2nd. Halls suitable for the central
;meetlng in towns where train stops.

tins, literature, etc.
4th. Follow-up men, when possible,

Hearty co-operation on the part of
the people is absolutely necessary to
make these campaigns successful.
SAVE THE ALFALFA LEAVES.
Sixty Per Cent, of the Feeding Value
of Alfalfa in the Leaves—Hay
Should be Cut at Right Time
and Cured so as to Preserve
the Leaves.
Of the entiro alfalfa plant, accord
ing to Kansas bulletin 155, tho stalk
comprises GO per cent, and *the leaf
40 per cent., whereas the quantity of
the protein in the stalk is only 40 per
cent., while tho protein in tho leaf is
60 per cent. Moreover only 20 per
cent, of tho fat Is to be found in the
stalk, while 80 per cent, is in the leaf.
It is, therefore, very important that
alfalfa bo harvested at the proper
time, and carefully handled so that
all the leaves will bo saved.
When possible to do so it is best to
cut alfalfa late in the afternoon or
•evening. Dow or rain on the freshly
cut alfalfa will not injure it. Where a
tedder is used, it should bo started in
tho morning as soon as most of the
dew is off and beforo there is any dan
ger of knocking off tho leaves. It is
often advisable to go over it more
than once.
Alfalfa hay is harvested and cured
3n much the same way as clover, ex-

cept that it should be cut as soon as
•the young sprouts or shoots start to
*row at the base of the plant
When alfalfa is left too long without
cutting, the leaves fall off and the
etems become woody, and the yield of
the next crop is greatly reduced.
MONEY IN ALFALFA.
J. Otis Humphrey, judge U. S. Dis
trict court, Springfield. Illinois: “You
can grow alfalfa anywhere in the corn
belt and the crop is worth fSO an
tacre.’’
Joseph Wing of Ohio: “Alfalfa will
[pay any farmer C per cent, on |SOO
acre land.” .

SHOP NOTICE
We have just installed new machinery in our shop, and
are fully equipped to do first-class Blacksmithing and Buggy
and W agon Repair Work on short notice at reasonable prices.
W'ood work a specialty.
We also have a first-class 1 arss-shoer who is in charge
of our horse-shoeing department. D. E. Malaier is our
horse-shoer. He has been in ’ochran about a year and a
half and is very well known. He says the foot is not a block
of wood or a bar of iron, but within the horny box that we
call the hoof are bones, ligame ts tissues, blood vessels and
nerves that are as much alive arid just as sensitive as those
that go to make up other parts if the horse. Therefore it
requires a man of skill to shoe rses properly.
Mr. Malaier has had fi.ee years experience in the shop
business and has made shoeing a special study for 12 years.
Come to see him and get your horses shod properly.
Honest dealing is our motto. Come to see us and get
your money’s morth.
