ALFALFA
Alfalfa should be grown
on every farm. Make
a beginning—start now.
ALFALFA ENRICHES THE LAND
Bealdet Producing More Abundant
Harvests Alfalfa Adds Plant Food
to the Soil for the Use of
Other Crops.
Alfalfa enriches the soil. The roots
of the alfalfa plant penetrate 12 to
36 feet into the soil —Tar beyond the
reach of corn, wheat, oats and
other shallow rooting plants. In
this way potash, phosphorus and oth
er elements of plant food are drawn
tip from below through the roots of
the alfalfa plant and stored in the
upper soil for the use of other crops.
The experiment set forth in the ac
companying chart was made in Can
ada, where it was found that alfalfa

sod yielded 61.5 bushels of wheat per
acre, as compared with 42 bushels on
timothy sod.
Ilarley yielded 30 bushels per acre
on alfalfa sod, and only 20 bushels on
timothy sod. Canada Is not a corn
country, yet the experiments show
similar results. Alfalfa sod yielded
24 bushels per acre of corn, as com
pared with 18 bushels on timothy sod.
This is only one of many such experi
ments which give the same results,
proving alfalfa to bu a soil enriching
crop.
ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE CROP.
Per Acre Value Five Times More
Than Clover—Some Wisconsin
Census Figures Which Talk
for Themselves.
According to the 1910 census of the
hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew
18,000 acres of alfalfa, which averaged
2.8 tons per acre for the entire state,
and the average acre value of the
crop was $31.00. During the same
year the combined acreage of timothy
and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre,
valued at $14.00. It costs no more to
grow an acre of alfalfa than it does
to grow an acre of timothy or clover.
The average cost of growing an acre
of clover or timothy Is approximately
SIO.OO. Thus the farmer would clear
$4.00 per acre In growing these crops,
whereas if he grew alfalfa he would
make a profit of $21.00 per acre, or

over five times the income received
from any one of the other hay crops.
'The latest reports from Wisconsin
show nearly 40,000 acres seeded to al
falfa with an average of about four
(tons to the acre.
j. ALFALFA RICH IN PROTEIN
With 12.3 Per Cent, of Digestible
Protein, Alfalfa Surpasses Even
Wheat Bran In Feeding Value.
Alfalfa has high feeding value, as
shown by the chart below, taken
from California Bui. No. 132. This is
due to its digestibility and its composi
tion. Alfalfa is rich in digestible pro
tein which is the bone and muscle
building element It is also rich in ni-

trogen, the component of protein,
but protein is the costly food element.
It is absolutely necessary for the pro
duction of milk and for young grow
ing animals. Pigs will starve on corn
alone. All animals must have frame
building food as well as fat producing
food, such as corn.
Alfalfa with corn makes a perfectly
balanced ration, supplying the animal
■with an abundance of bone, Ilesh and
fat giving material.
Willing Panhandler.
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia,
was accosted one day by a drunken
panhandler, who asked for a dime.
The archbishop gave him the dime and
said: “My friend, don't you think it
would be possible for you to walk in
the straight and narrow path?" The
panhandler straightened up, “Who?
me?” he asked. “Show it to me. I
used to be a tight rope walker.” —Sat-
urday Evening Post
The Mocker.
“I understand you are on the outs
with Binks, Dubbleigh,” said Jorrocks.
“I am that!” returned Dubbleigh, with
fervor. "No more Binks for me. Last
Sunday when my new car lay in the
ditch I asked Binks to see if he
couldn’t find somebody or something
to pull it out, and the blistering idiot
offered me a corkscrew." —Harper’s
Weekly.
Easy Check to Forge.
Judge I.uinley Smith remarked at
the Old Bailey that checks for £8
edd were most frequently altered by
forgers engaged in what was now an
extensive business. Only a “y” was
needed to change the eight Into
eighty. In the case before him a
check for £8 14s had been made into
one for £BO 14s.
Grandfather's Record.
“Did any of your ancestors do things
to cause posterity to remember them?”
asked the haughty woman. "I reckon
they did,” replied Farmer Corntossel
“My grandfather put mortgages on
this place that ain't off yet.”
