Cutting later lowers tho feeding vnluo of tho hay. MetlnxU of Harvesting. Method of making alfalfa hay vary In different section of tho country, but tho basic principles nro tho name. Tho motto every where In: "Curo alfalfa hay quick ly, with rh little handling nnd ex posure to tho weather an possible. Hapld curing holds tho leaves on better, Loss handling knocks fewer of thorn off. This Is Import ant because tha loaves nro tho most nutritious part ot tho plant. In tho west, where thorn Is llttlo rain during tho haying nannon, tha mowers aro started In tho morning and tho hay rnkod Into windrows tho following day. Tho hay Is then cocked or stacked or baled di rect from tho windrow ns noon as thn hay Is suflcloutly cured. Tho raking commoncos as soon as tho leaves aro wilted, but- when thu steins aro mill green. It Is cocked when tho stems nro "half dry' It may bo stacked when molsturo can no longor bo twisted out of a wisp ot tho liny.

Cnro Needed. Particular cnro must bo takon at the flrnt cutting on this account. If tho hay is put In tho mow it Is well to provtdo for soma' oxtrn ventilation, especially lf( its mols turo content Is high. Thin can bo arranged by placing horizontally nt frequent Intervals vontllatora mndo of lumber. Theso may bo simply a trnmo work in triangular or roctnngular shapes placed in tho liny ns tho mow la flllod, Haymaking is nn operation that must botdouo In a cortaln space of time, that is short at host and that is nlwnyn llnblo to bo mado ohortor by bad wouthor. For this roason thoro Is no fnrm operation in which system and ef ficiency count for moro; so it will pay ovory fnrmop to know Just whon and Just how to mako tho most of his alfalfa crop.

"I havo gained eighteen potindi nltico I commenced taking Tanlac, and nover felt batter In my life than I do now," Hald Alek Miiiihoii, who, boforo bin health failed, was a valu ed employe of tho Foundation Ship Ilulldlng Co., and live at 11.14 Michigan Avenue., l'ortland, Oro., tho other day. "Whon I began taking Tanlnc," ho continued, "I hadn't boon ablo to hit n lick of work for over a year, and I had boon nattering tcrrl- ibly from my stomach tor nhout four yonrn. It seemed to mo that I had mado ovcry posnlblo effort to over conio this troublo, but my condition gradually grow worno, and about a year ago 1 reached tho point where I had to give up my work altogether. Everything ato disagreed with mo. and for two or threo hours ofter meal I would bo all bloated up with gas, nnd would have tho wornt cramping pains in tha pit of my sto mach n man ever had. Than, thin ga would often get up Into my client and mako my heart palpltato something awful, and It would be al most Imposslblo for mo to got a good breath. I also suffered from consti pation nnd often had splitting head ache. I wnn very nervoun nil tho time, and never got a good night's nlccp. TIicro troubles Just continu ed to pull me down until I got no wenk and run down that when I went to walk my legs would Just givo right down under mo. "Tho money I had npenl for mcdl clnos and treatments might Just as woll havo been thrown In tho Colum bia Illvcr no far an tha good I got from It, but I thought I would keep on trying, and that In why I gave Tanlac n trial when It came along. Woll. nlr. boforo I hud finished my rirst oottio or Tanlnc, I could sec that I had struck it right at last, and I was right, too, for Tanlnc certain ly did Just what they nnld It would do, nnd I am now n well, strong man again. My stomach troubles havo nil disappeared, und I am never bothered with gas forming, and I don't have thoso awful cramping spells any more. I havo such n flno nppetlto that I can hardly get enough to eat, and everything I cat ngreen with mo nil right. I havo ro galnod all my lost weight and strength, nnd am now getting ready to go back to work.

An excellent cxamplo ot how sbecp may bo utilized for farm ditch cleaning Is afforded on the 175-acro farm ot W. S. Humbert, noar Phoenix, Ariz. When the farm wan now there was an annual cost of 3C0 for ditch cleaning. This has been changed to an annual profit of $800 through the employ ment ot a sheep band that happens to number 76 head at tho present time. Tho sheep aro shifted from section to section, as they clean up tho feed, mainly weeds, Johnson grass Hcrmuda and sour clover, with very llttlo Btray alfalfa, though tho ranch Is ono whereon tho main crop Is beef, tho cnttlo betas pas tured, on alfalfa. It has been found that sheep will eat anything save foxtail In head. Somo ot tho ditches have been untouched with the shovel for four yoara. The sheep, mainly Hamp sh!rc8, aro muttons and shear only about thrco pounds twlco a year. Lambs como about 100 per cent, a year and usually aro sold around 8 a head. Tho only charges ngalnst tho service performed are thoso for shearing and for a couple of tons of hay In midwinter. For cold weather thero may "be found shelter in pons that aro provided.

Tho day of testing a good mllkor by tho measurement ot tho milk veins or tho smoothness of tho hair on tho oscutchoon nnd n few other such points Is gone.

To many farmers, doslrous of Im proving their bonis, tho purchasing of cows at sales, privato or public, has been discouraging becauso It has boon moro or loss of an oven brenk whether tho cow purchased would bo bettor than tho nvorngo of thn cowh already In tho hord. Thu policy of purchasing cows by eye has given placo to buying cows by test. Tho sovun nnd 30 day tests woro first used, but they were not so satisfactory as tho long tlmo test to show tho prospective buyer Just what tho cow can do ns a milk producor. Progress In this lino has como almost entirely through cow testing associations. Thoso associations havo taken tho responsibility off tho shoulders of tho individual, who, under ordinary conditions 'would not porfect tho tests and obtain accurate data This work Iihb proved to bo a great boon to tho Individual dairyman Ho can now purchase cows of known ability, and ho can sell stock on tho bnBls ot actual nccom- pllshmont Instead ot being com pelled to roly upon tho buyor's prejudices and fears. r ' i . ,i nn mm0tmm w "V e MAN WHO STAYED AT HOJME ?
