Evil of Too Much Haste. In the east and in tropical coun- triés tomorrow is made use of in an indolent way. It is for us to make use of it in a way that is scientific. Hur ried legislation, rash enterprises, poor- ly comstructed buildings—superficial work of all kinds—is due to our mak- ing a sort of fetich of haste. We are overhurried, overburdened, overanx- fous. It is the broader vision of life that takes into consideration tomor- row and the day after, that enables us :’ do well the essential work of to- peaking of his experience in the growing "of alfalfa, the' Hon. A. P. Grout of ‘Winchester, Ill., one of the “My success at first in growing al- falfa was not startling, but' ou. the contrary I met with many discourage- ments. Had it not been for the dod- dies, (sheep and hogs) that seemed so fond of it, and thrived so well on the small quantities I was able to furnish them, it is doubtful if I would have kept up the struggle. . A knowledge of its wonderful feeding yalye gained by experience was ‘the incentive that urged me on. 4 The time has come in' my experi- ence, and I bélieve in the experience of every alfalfa grower, when just as Beef Cattle on certain and favorable results are ex- pected from seeding to alfalfa as from'any other crop. “It is not so much the soil, the cli- mate or the location, as in knowing how. That fact has been clearly dem- onstrated. “In my judgment, alfalfa is the most valuable farm crop that can be grown in. Illinois, and yet comparatively lit- tle 18 known about it in the state. I know of nothing.that will do more for the development of the state or add more to its wealth than a thorough knowledge and understand- ing of alfalfa. “I do not know of any greater or ‘more valuable service that the few successful alfalfa growers, ‘who.have learned the lesson, can render their state than to it knowledge of alfalfa, and encourage its cultivation and use by the farmers of ‘Illinois. . To. be instrumental in brisging ' into general use a plant which will add untold wealth, not only to the farm, but to every other in- terest, will be far.more creditable and more deserving of:‘honor than that usually. accorded .for any public ser- vice.” i Joe Wing Believes in Alfalfa. . ‘Joseph E. Wing of Ohio, who has 160 acres of alfalfa, and who is one of the best known authorities on thig crop in the United States, says: “Alfalfa is a perennial enduring on well drained soil from five to fifty years with one sowing. It may be cut from three to five times a year, and will yleld in the region of the Alfaifa Field. corp belt from three to six tons of hay per acre. The composition of al falfa hay is such that it has almos| the' same nutritive value as wheat bran, and may be substituted for wheat bran in the feed ration with good results. As a feed for al classes of live stock it is unexceled Every animal upon the farm loves al falfa and thrives upon it. As a pas ture plant for hogs it has no equal in the amount which animals will gain from an acre of it, as much as 60¢ pounds of pork per acre being fre quently reported where hogs have grazed it. It is also the best horse pasture known, and it sometimes is used as a pasture for sheep and cows, although one must observe due care in pasturing it with these ani mals, since they may bloat” Aot S SRS EEEEERE S x MALCOLM. * (L B8 L8 T e e e e e Al Dalbum bought a horse from Jesse Stratton last week.
