J. BEATTIE, Prop. Measure and Protection "One of the best reasons why I would not be without telephone service," writes a Georgia far mer, "is the pleasure it gives my wife and the knowledge that while I am away, she has the pro tection that the telephone gives." On the farm the telephone dispels loneliness and is the means of bringing help in any emer gency that may arise. If you haven't a telephone on your farm see the nearest Bell Telephone Manager or write for our free booklet and* learn how little this service costs.

Thirty to forty meetings will be held in each county, the nam* ber depending on local conditions. ? To accomplish the moat in agricultural development, we must begin with tho man behind the crop. Upon him depends the tlnal working out of tho principles of agriculture ? the simple and practical things ? which our schools, colleges and experiment stations are endeavoring to bring into gen eral use. Professor Holden proposes to carry these principles further even than the very effective work done on the agricultural trains, by using that most modern vehicle ? the automobile ? going directly to the peddle on their own farms where the meetings are to be held. Alfalfa Greatest Soil-Enriching Crop. Agricultural development needs In addition to the work of our public institutions, the individual efforts of every merchant, banker, corporation, or laboring man, and this plan calls for their heartiest co-operation. This plan for Increasing tho yields of our crops by the more extensive growing of that wonderful soil improver, ALFALFA, Is meeting ;the approval of all men who have any knowledge of the beneficial results of Its Introduc tion as a general crop. Campaigns are now being conducted in many of the central western states, and Professor Holden Is daily answering requests for his assistance In organizing other localities, and 'invites cordial co-operation with every com munity Interested. Where campaigns are contemplated it is required, first, that a request be made to the Agricultural Extension Department for assistance in carrying on the campaign. What the local people will provide: (1) Expenses (meals and lodging) for the alfalfa speakers and staff upon their arrival and during the campaign. (2) From ten to twenty automobiles for each day of the campaign to carry the alfalfa crew and invited guests; one auto truck to carry literature, baggage, charts, and other equipment. (3) Arrange for meeting places and publish schedule of same. (4) Local advertising. (5) Photographer, if possible. f ^ The Agricultural Extension Department will provide: (1) Advance men to assist In organization work. . (2) Lecturers. (3) Literature. "> (4) Special educational articles for newspapers and farm Journals perti* nent to alfalfa culture, object of campaign, etc. (5) Field men to follow up the preliminary work and aid the people in any community where sufficient interest is shown to warrant it. ALFALFA FOR HOG8. Kansas Experiment Proves tho Great Value of Alfalfa and Corn as. ? Balanced Rations-Hog Grow era Note the Result of This Interesting Feed ing Experiment. This experiment was conduced at the Kansas Agricultural college: The pigs shown In tho accompanying chart were litter mates. The larger pig was fed on a ration of corn and alfalfa hay ; tho smaller on corn alone. Several litters of weanling pigs were equally divided into two lots. The pigs were carefully chosen as to weight and thriftlness; so that each lot represented a fair average of the total number of pigs used In the experi ment. The experiment was carried on for a period of eight months. At the end of this time the pigs fed on corn and alfalfa hay were in excellent condl ALFALFA BALANCES THE CORN RATION SAME LITTER 60' 250" CORN AlONE CORN & ALFALFA HAT jffHX RAN*. PP. &TA tion for market and averaged 250 pounds, dressed, while the pigs fed on corn alone were thin and scrawny and averaged but 60 pounds each. In the latter case, one pig died of what the veterinarian declared to be starva tion, notwithstanding the fact that this lot of pigs had all the corn they could eat. Must Have Protein. The scrawny 60 pound pigs lacked protein, that element required in growing animals, to develop bone and muscle, bleod, nerve and tie sue ? that which bullda the frame? the very thing that the pigs did not get when fed. upon corn alone. Corn la deficient In protein and has ' an abundance of starch and sugar.. Neither alfalfa nor corn when fed; alone will give the best results, but a; combination of the two make a per-j fectly balanced ration. A balanced ration is a combination; of feeds containing elements pecessaryl for the proper physical development of! the animal. Protein, the most essen-; tial element in animal feed, builds the; frame of the body while corn is essen-! tially valuable for the production of fat. The bones of the "corn-alfalfa" lot of pigs were double the size of the lot fed on corn alone and stood a breaking strain of 1,870 pounds as against 520 pounds for the lot fed on a single ra tion of corn. HAY CAP8 FOR ALFALFA. 4 Alfalfa should *bo raked and either put la the barn or If It Is not sufficient* ly dry, put Into hay cocks. It la a mat ter of economy to have two or three hundred hay caps (made of six-cent cloth one yard square) to use in case of bad weather. You may think this is considerable bother, but poor al falfa Is poor stuff, and when we re member that good alfalfa brings us In actual results nearly as great returns as wheat bran, we can better realise the importance of taking care of It. If any of us had 500 "hay cocks of bran" In the field, we would take car* of them, but with alfalfa we think of It ae "Just hay." These cloths may have wooden pegs or some sort of welghta attached to each corner to hold them In plaoe; the pegs can be pushed Into the hay to hold the corners fast.
