Alfalfa hay contains about three times ua much protein and about sis times as much lime as timothy hay, according to chemical analyses, says Edward B. Meigs, of the bureau of dairying, United States Department of Agriculture. Both of these substances are needed in liberal amounts by cattle. growing and Alfalfa hay, says the department dairy specialist, is far superior to timothy hay for dairy animals. Dairy cattle in several experiments have been fed for several years with no other feed than alfalfa pasture and alfalfa hay, and have grown well and given fair yields of milk. Other experiments have shown that the life and usefulness of dairy cattle is not more than a year when fed on grain and concentrates and poor roughage such as straw, or upon grain and concentrates alone; but dairy cattle have thrived long periods on rations of grain and concentrates combined with alfalfa or timothy hay of fairly good quality. These trials raised the question: Will dairy cows do as well on rations of grain and timothy as on rations of alfalfa and grain, provided the timothy is fed with a grain mixture high in protein and supplemented with a calcium salt? Further trials to answer this question proved that cows give 35 to 40 per cent more milk and fat on rations containing alfalfa than on rations containing timothy hay. milk-produci- Repairing Machinery During Winter Is Best Since the modern farmer Is so dependent upon the efficiency of his machinery it necessarily follows that he must make most of his repairs on the farm, says J. G Wooley, chairman of the department of agricultural engineering of the Missouri College of Agriculture. The farmer cannot afford to take all his little repair jobs to town and wait his turn to get them done, but must provide a comfortable place to work and do them at home. Any machine, whether housed or neglected, is sure to need repair and adjustment. If these repairs are left to he made in a busy time, they are expensive and cause much trouble and delay. Some form of comfortable building that can be utilized as a repair and workshop during the winter will mean a valuahle saving in time during the rush periods of summer work. Corn Root Rot Fungus Control Measures Vary Fall plowing of corn land where all stalks and shucks are furned under, longer rotations and lower soil temperatures are important factors that influence the root rot fungus, according to R. E. Vaughn, University of Wisconsin. Farmers in the main corn belt who grow corn closer together in the rotation, plant it in the spring when temperature is higher and leave the cornstalks exposed to act as shelter for the root rot fungus, which farmers farther north handle differently. Vaughn recommended the kiln drying of seed corn, hut where this was impossible a dry attic gave good results. Rapid drying is important, as the sooner dried, the less disease next year. Prevent Rabbit Injury by Wrapping Tree Trunjt Washes such as soap suds, whitewash and the like npplied to young peach tree trunks may tend to prevent injury by rabbits. The surest and safest method, however, of preventing injury consists of wrapping the tree trunks with newspapers, wood veneer wrappers, or chicken wire netting. In every instance the tree should be wrapped to a height of 18 to 20 inches. Moreover, the application of ordinary house or barn paint, axle grease, tar or pitch may do great injury and even kill the trees. r Farm Hints f i Much silage is likely to spoil top is not propWly sealed. . if the The dairyman who is after high grade cream in the winter will pay attention to the cleanliness of his cows.

Surely not, for if she had been such a woman he could have offered her more than these other two. And she had not been tempted by his obvious preference. , She had her moments of . panic. What was she about to do? The step was a tremendous one if ways and means were to be considered. There was money to be thought of, but Linda was in that exalted state when poverty Is hung with the sparkle of day dreams.

There was nothing she could say when he looked at her like ' that. Her face drooped upon her clasped hands. "I told the lie you wanted me to tell the thing you wanted to believe." He shrugged. In the beginning you were no doubt credulous. But, my dear young lady, you were seventeen then and Ignorance is charming at -- that age. You are now twenty-fou- r lady who has traveled far. You must have learned from all this adventure. His calmness took all the rebellion out of her, and when he went on after one of those devastating pauses she listened with a muted face. The personal note was vanishing from between them and his words, lashing as they were, failed to sting her soul with the shame his naked eyes had pnt upon her. He struck another match to his Interminable cigarette. "Yon must have learned, he went on slowly, that everything has Its price Its give and take. You must have known that these years have formed a tie not to be broken easily "It is broken now. He gave her a long, steady look from which passion had evaporated. Then he said: You are more selfish than most women, Linda. How did you learn it? You were a sweet child once. But I don't suppose that you realize what breaking with me means yet.

The room, the world was full of rosy light She had sensed that glow a long way off but she had not known it for what it was. But now she was at the top of the mountain and could look over into the valley beyond and she knew. Yes, I am going to marry him, she said. twenty-five- ? A : 1 There was the secret between them. In the gay hurry of crowds, across the dinner table where Daisy, prettiest of hostesses, made her futile bid for what never coaid be hers, their eyes spoke to one another. There was no opportunity for more than a handclasp or a swift word without beginning or end, but carrying with it the vibration of his heart to hers. They stood upon the brink of this tremendous experience, hesitating to grasp what was theirs. Sometimes she read doubt in Brians eyes and this was sweeter than assurance. She was Jealous of hei power only she could dissipate that doubt make him happy. She did nothing to avoid what must come but still she prevented it with that resistless force which women bring to bear upon their ultimatums. She could not understand her own passivity. Happiness lay in her hand but she would not clasp her fingers and make it her own. She was like' a sleeper shielding her eyes from the first rays of tha sun. Morning was ambl-tlou- s.

He had hated to know that his appointment came through Simon Fentress because he sensed through It the power of wealth. But she dismissed this thought quickly. Brian was not worldly and she loved him for that. She loved his Ideal'S with the indulgence of one who knows that moBt ideals are made of papier mache. No one suspected her secret but Simon Fentress. That small dry person sighed when he saw her so beautiful, so eager; shy as his own girl was shy. He wondered why things had to be that way. Brian had made this woman love him without lifting his finger, and another man would have done far better for her. But he knew better than to hint this to his protege. Brian had accepted aid with rather bad grace from the first, and of them all he was the only one who did not suspect the real reason for the Fentress interest. But Daisy was as good a loser as her father; not by one word did she betray the blank sense of loss that spoiled her young world. Perhaps something will happen yet, her father thought, watching her face and watching Lindas, not knowing which to pity most Crows Frightened From Field by Loud Speaker Electricity is making its way on the farm. The loud speaker of the radio is replacing the scarecrow. It was a lonely farmer in Germany who first perceived its value. The scarecrow in his field, however handsomely hatted, had no terrors for the birds. They made friends with it and went on picking up grain. But when the farmer fixed a loud speaker underneath the scarecrows tattered coat and turned it loose, the birds flew away in terror. Whether it was Herr Professor Teufel sdroehk delivering a discourse on the childrens hour, or whether it was Fraulein Vogelgesangs seemed to make no difference.

It had been years since she had seen that face, those eyes, that smile. The child, Linda Haverhill, had owned them all. It is not given to many women to step back into girlhood with all its fragrant hope and joy, but in a single hour these had been given back to her.' Tonight he would ask her to marry him ; tonight she would say yes. There had been no promises and no appointment, but she did not need this to know what would happen. It was coming as inevitably as the hours. Nothing could hold it back; no subterfuge; no hesitation. She wore a long white frock glittering with crystals that clung to her slender limbs like frost wreathing lily stems. Her delicate long arms emerged from all this whiteness and sparkle like the 6leepy stamens of a flower. Her face behind all its beauty and still happiness asked for something more. Without knowing it, her eyes asked that this happiness should last. Not long before a hotel maid had fastened her frock and done those little tasks for her that must be done and had then been sent away. This' was a precious hour. She leaned between the candelabra to look at her reflection critically. Happiness in her eyes; happiness lifting the corners of her mouth, but her lips were too pale? She touched them lightly with rouge and then saw that this accentuated the pallor of her 1 cheeks.- - How foolish I am. Why, I am trembling She steadied herself against the dressing table. There was a vase of white gardenias clinging heavily to thick 'green stalks on a taboret close by and she thought that the scent of these flowers must have overcome her.
