little incident of last year, in
which one of the boys came near
losing his life while hazing a

CHEAP
FEEDING.
A Practical Kansas Farmer Tell How
Ha Does It. i
At one of the meetings, during the
fast "farmers' week1"-" the Kansas
State Agricultucal,ollese Dr. J. T- Az
tell made a talk, of special Interest in
regard to different ways of feeding
alfalfa. , , t
Alfalfa, according to Dr. Axtell. con
tains from eleven to sixteen and one-
half parts protein and forty parts car
bohydrates, while, corn, ranges jabont
one-half that amount of protein and
one-third that amount. .. of . carbohy
drates. ' '
You will see there, he" says, that It
requires considerably more corn to af
ford an animal. , the same amount of
protein that he would get from a given
quantity of ..alfalfa, meal. Now. we
have found that an animal (horse or
cow), needs about two and one-half
pounds pf. protein and .twelve and one
half pounds gf .carbohydrates per day;.
Alfalfa is wastedv. feeding ' as hay
and the meal is, ioo. rich as a single
feed,, so we mix und fqr poun of
alfalfa meal and ground corn, and in a
twenty-five pound feed we have the re
quired amount of both protein and
carbohydrates... .. .oii. i1si.,iu-i'-
When we were feeding alfalfa as hay
we found that the- average- amount
eaten by each horse per day was from
sixty to eighty pounds. They are now
allowed fifteen pounds of alfalfa meal
per day and. are doing as well on tne
heavy hay feed., ,.: ., , ., . .-.
For, Cowa and Swine.
A cow; giving a.gopdi flow of milk
gets ran. average, feed, of about six or
seven and one-half , pounds of alfalfa
meal and one-half to three-fourths gal
lons of ground corn, while our driving
horses get a ration mixed with three
pounds of alfalfa meal and two pounds
of ground -corn three times per day.,
with ione feed a day of about five
pounds of prairie hay, ; , .
Our ration for swine is mixed with a
bit more of corn in the proportion than
in the ration for horse or cow- I don't
believe any of..you -have stock doing
better than mine, and 1 know you are
not feeding as cheaply as I am.
Cement Milk Tank.
A cement milk tank is the latest use
to which cement has been put It can
be built in one corner of the cellar or
milk house, where the' water will re
main cool much longer than in the old
fashioned wood tank and it will be im
possible for germs to hide In tne pores.

HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS.
1 -i ' i ' x "i " ' '
To clean a copper kettle rub the ket
tie with powdered bath brick and
paraffin and then polish it with dry
brick dust or whiting.
The green tips of celery or minced
leaves of brnssels sprouts may be sub
stituted for Darsley when that Is not
obtainable for garnishing. ; "
When ' pouring out tea -one some
times Is annoyed to find the tea will
run down the spout To prevent this
rub a little butter around the outside
of the spout. , .
When thin tumblers stick together
and there, Is danger of breaking them
do not try to pull them apart., but put
them Into a pan of warm suds. In a
short time they can be easily separat
ed. . ....... , ' .,!,.'
rlf.. housewives .who dislike to find
worms when . cutting1" apples would
first put the. fruit In cold water they
would find ... that ' the worms would
leave the-apples and come to-the snr
face of the water. - - !. f
- When cleaning house 'look well- to
ihe picture wires -for- they rust and
often break apart-near the screw eye.
It Is , best , to put In new wire or, cords
on veify heavy' plcturjes. ' Do' not place
a mirror where It' will be in' the sun
