to these false reports. Let every one
speak the truth about Wheeler county
and remember that every time Wheeler
turns over that she is like a snow ball,
she gets larger.
The advertising given Wheeler county
of late has resulted in great good to
the county. Almost daily inquiries are
coming in asking about Wheeler and
her possibilities Judging from the
number of home seekers coming into :
Wheeler county and the number of
Wheeler county boys marrying girls

SAVE THE ALFALFA LEAVES.
Sixty Per Cent, of the Feeding Value
of Alfalfa in the Leaves—Hay
Should be Cut at Right Tima
and Cured so as to Preserve
the Leaves.
Os the entire alfalfa plant, accord
ing to Kansas bulletin 155. the stalk
comprises 60 per cent, and the leaf
40 per cent, whereas the quantity of
the protein in the stalk is only 40 per
eent., while the protein tn the leaf is
60 per cent. Moreover only 20 per
eent. of the fat is to be found in the
stalk, while 80 per cent, is in the leaf.
It is, therefore, very important that
alfalfa be harvested at the proper
time, and carefully handled so that
all the leaves will be saved.
When possible to do so it is best to
cut alfalfa late in the afternoon or
evening. Dew or rain on the freshly
ent alfalfa will not injure it Where a
tedder is used, it should be started in
the morning as soon as most of the
dew is off and before there is any dan
ger of knocking off the leaves, it is
Often advisable to go over it more
than once.
