EXPERIENCE WITH ALFALFA,

A correspondent of Colnaaes Rural World
gives his experience with alfalfa as follows
have just finished cutting and getting in
my first crop of alfalfa, and ann very much
pleased with the result. SoWn one year ago,
the roots now penetrate the ground to the
depth of three feet. During the first sea-
sons growth, the smart-weeds grew six
feet high, and had to be cut and removed.
the ground having been very weedy and the
season very wet. Now, however, the alfalfa
has fully smothered the weeds and taken
possession of the ground, nothing being
seen at time of cutting but the mass of pur-
pie blossoms and green leaves. Not being
able to learn when to cut it, from any of the
numerous articles published in agricultural
papers about this grass, followed the rule
for other grasses, and cut while in full bloom;
and it has made a fine and very fragrant
hay. 1t is greedily devoured by all kinds Of
stock, and no injury has resulted from early
and pretty full feeds of it. The stems APP
pear tough, wiry and woody, and have not
pith like red clover; but find none of
them left, by either my mules, horses or
COWS. 1t certainly cures more readily than
red clover, and is less liable to heat.
By reason of an accident to my moving
machine, and the rainy weather. it is some
ten days since | began cutting the alfalfa,
and already the second crop is well started
where the cutting was begun, and the hands

fear it will be ready to cut again by the time
they finish cutting some late timothy.
| had been unable to get any information
as to which cutting of alfalfa should be
threshed for seed, until l met an old Ger
man, who raised it in Germany, where they
run 1T through cutting box and mix it
with bran, etc., to tatten hogs upon. He
says | must leave a portion of the first
growth to stand and produce seed-that it
will grow and bloom and ripen seed for a
month OF two after it should be cut for hay,
before the seed lobes will be filled and ripe
for cutting.

average at the groves, $15 per thousand,
making $780, ,0O0 1t is estimated there are
now not more than three thousand acres Of
young trees from three to six years old from
the bud, some bearing as many as one hun
dred oranges the first season. For the next
five years it is believed the crop will grad,,-
ally increase from growth of trees to one
hundred and fifty millions, yielding pro-
duct of So, 250,000, or about one-seventh of
the product of Palermo.
The wheat farmers are now threshing,
and the crop will make its appearance in
market about the 1st of July. The Eamess
says one of the leading merchants of Los
Angeles estimates the wheat crop of that
county at between 10000 and $4,000 sacks.
This is a low estimate.-iSanta Monica Out
look.
THERE is an agricultural association in
France which numbers 5000 members 1t
is composed of leading farmers and land
owners, and the representatives of collatter-
al agricultural industry.
The Aanc,ican Grocer Of the 3lst llt. says
There is a great difference of opinion in re-
gard to the surplus of wheat in the hands of
the farmers of the Northwest. We think
after careful examination and inquiry, that
10 per cent of last crop is liberal estimate,
which makes the surplus Of the country
light. Stocks at Milwaukee and Chicago
are stated to be 100000 bushels less than
at this time last year. which, taken in con-
nection with the small supplies in the Com
tinent of Europe, is of considerable impor-
tance, and serves to prove pretty clearly that
the last crop has been greatly overestimated.
The export movement at the present writ
ing has subsidized somewhat, but the position

hundred and tifty-six acres, 20 tons of beets
per acre, and 8 tons of hay per acre fatten
200 cattle and 5000 sheep per annum. In
1865 the yield of beets was 3O.35 and as
much as 30 tons to the acre. These farmers
attribute their success as cultivators entirely
to the immense amount of manure the beet
pulp enables them to make to the improved
condition, and also to the increased amount
OF profitable service of the land consequent
upon beet culture, no fallows being required.
On this model farm the beet crops ONLY
were manured which We're plowed in deep
the previous fall, and the ground was AGAIN
lightly plowed in the spring. For the sue
ceeding grain crops a single light plowinp
sufficed.
Before the introduction of the sugar in
dustry into France, farm hands. by reason
of lack of employment in winter were so
continually emigrating to the city, that Gov
ernment Instituted inquiries to ascertain the
cause, and also the best method of prevent
ing it. Now the tendency of workmen to
seek the capital is not noticed in the sugar
districts, that industry giving ample and
well paid employment in the summer
months. Wherever the beet is cultivated in
France land advances in value, and wages
take the same direction. No one believes
now that it exhausts and impovenshes the
soil or hurts other crops; these are the preiu-
dlces OF bygone years, which science and
experience have banished. The quality Of
the wheat is better, the heads are larger and
heavier, the straw stronger, and not so liza
bic to lodge, the grain is larger, brighter,
and heavier, weighing from two to three
pounds above the standard. The depart
-ments in which the beet is cultivated are
not grazing districts in which cattle are
raised, but are pre-eminently distinguished
for supporting and fattening CATTLE and pro-
ducing grains. 10 fairly estimate the full
value of this root crop, allowance must be
made for the undoubted facts that its Gull
ture as rotation crop so prepares the soil
that it needs not be left falloW, and so inn
proves the wheat that from one-third to one
half more is produced than before the beet
preceded it and that cattle are fattened OH
the leaves and pulp, are exceedingly prolific,
the COWS produce more abundant and better
favored milk, so that the production of SUI
gar from the beet adds to the supply of bread
and meat, and these three leading necessi-
ties OF mans existence stimulate and aid
each other.

A G RICU 1 7 ] R A L.
BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

Comparatively little mas yet been done to-
wards the manufacture Of beet sugar in this
country still the few experiments made
show that both climate and soil are adapted
to the production of beets on an unlimited
scale. All we need is few successes to
make the thing popular and then the pro-
duct is sure to equal the demand. A cor
respondent Of the Wilmington Commercial
in speaking of the industry says:
The effects produced upon agriculture in
France by the cultivation Of beets for sugar
have been astounding. Notwithstanding the
high protective policy to which it owes its
existence, there is no question that sugars
have been cheaper throughout the world
during the last fifteen years, in consequence
of the great success Of this industry. The
cane sugar manufacturers of the Tropics
have adopted the improved processes of the
beet sugar manufacturers of Europe because
so much superior to theirs, but with it all,
the latter will soon outstrp them. In the
cane sugar districts no other crop is to be
seen, while the cattle and sheep are few :;
the beet sugar districts of Europe, on the
contrary. are covered with the diversity of
crops; beets, wheat rye, barley, etc., and
all the cultivated grasses, every field cult
waited. and the stables filled with cattle, sheep
and horses No farmer need be told which
system is the most enduring. In the best
cultivated districts Of the continent, the basis
OF it is the beet. 1t not only furnishes to
man the article of all others that most de-
lights the palate. but the pulp left after the
iuice is extracted is excellent food for cattle,
the number of which is largely increased
and they furnish an increased amount of
manure, which, applied to the deeply plow-
ed lands, nultiplies their productiveness.
On a great public occasion, a visit OF the
Emperor and Empress to Valenciennes, the
following inscription was placed on tri-
umphal arch: Before the manufacture OF
beet-sugar, the arrondissement OF Valen-
ciennes produced 695,750 bushels of wheat
and fattened 700 oxen. Since the manufac-
ture of beet sugar was introduced, the ar
rondissement of Valenciennes produces | )
Isl. $50 bushels of wheat and fattens 1880
oxen.'' All farmers who obtain first prizes
at the agricultural exhibitions are either
sugar manufacturers or cultivators OF the
beet; it is so uniformly the case that they
would be surprised if they did not secure
them A farm of eight hundred and thirty
two acres, the sales of produce from which
under the former treatment amounted to
$4,000 per annum, with six years treatment
Of sugar beet culture produced Sal, 200 per
annum. Another instance: a farm OF two
hundred and ninety-ive acres, produced
1925 bushels of wheat, $500 tons of beets'
and fattened 150 head of cattle per annum
But the model farm of France is one of five
hundred and fifty-two acres, which with
eleven years of sugar beet cultivation pro-
duces an average of 20 bushels of oats on
thirty acres. 3Gl bushels of wheat on one

A G R lCULTURAL ITEMS.

a u Il CULT URAL ITEMS.
The elm and apple trees of Jacksonville,
ILL.,, are being defoliated by the leaf worm.
The best things are, as rule, the cheapest
not only on the farm, but elsewhere.
The San Francisco Bulletin thinks Califor-
mia ought to be prosperous this year, since
the yield Of barley and wheat will exceed
that of any previous year by several thou
sand tons, and the mines are yielding their
hidden treasures in unparalleled quantities.
Though sweet potatoes are of tropical
origin, they have become SO well acclimated
that they may be raised to advantage any
where in Illinois, and fair crops have been
produced in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan. AS might be expected, those
grown far to the north are less sweet than
those grown in the south.
A. Spence writes to the Minneapolis Seati-
mel in favor of the cultivation of the sugar
beet He says: The worst season | have
seen here we could grow five hundred bush
els per acre OH 1srrrta IN see1l cultivation. and
have now been here six summers. would
like to have contract of raising them one
season with another at $3 per ton, not to be
delivered over three miles away; and know
that there are others who would do the same
The Kansas City Price Current has advices
from western Missouri Kansas, and south
western Nebraska, which say the winter
wheat crop is in splendid condition and
promises an extraordinary yield Oh largely
increased acreage.
A number of Eastern capitalists have pur-
chased 1000 acres Of land on Maple river, in
Dakota Territory, on the line of the North
ern Pacific railroad. They intend to make a
great wheat farm of it, and propose to break
and sow 1,7OO acres this year.
There never has been time when the ex-
port of grain from Boston was so large MS at
present. One firm is loading nine vessels
with corn, comprising 100000 bushels, for
Europe, and the total amount of corn being
loaded for the foreign market is 100000
bushels. A vessel has been recently char
tered to load with through freight of oats
from the west, and there is brisk demand
for corn Oh foreign account.
The st. Louis Republican says: Nearly
all the advices from this State concur in the
opinion that we shall have a fine wheat crop.
1t looks best in the southeast and in the cen-
trail parts of the State, but it looks and prom
ises well everywhere. 1t stands thick on
the ground, it is of a dark green color, and
is already beginning to head out in the lower
counties. Farmers, with choice fields, are
predicting that they will make from thirty
to forty bushels per acre.
A letter received in this city from Hong
Kong, China, last week, states that the rice
crop in China is a partial failure, and that
the Chinese are now importing wheat in the
berry from San Francisco, for the first time,
in consequence. China has heretofore taken
flour from California. If there should be
really large deficiency in the Chinese crop.
the fact would make u great difference in the
quantity of wheat California would have to
send to Europe.-Kansas Farmer.

Common Sense,

Mn. EDIToK-Common sense has much to do in
defining words correctly; and it is always in accord
ance with established usage. Those who undertake
to define words for the public, trusting to common
sense as their sole authority. are very likely to ex-
hibit. evidence Of deficiency in that important
faculty.
Having failed in his efforts to make it appear that
g chastise means to make chaste, 4" and that it should
not be called Synonymous with chasien, Webster to
the contrary Notwithstanding, he refers to the same
common sense to explain bis use Of the word GROOM
muHicGfion. As this same common sense seems to
be peculiarly his own, and not shared in by lexicog-
raphers, it is not strange that the whole paragraph
should show little evidence Of being the production
of a scholar, or Of q man Of common sense.
In his " Thoughts ON Education, - No. 4, he stated
that the pupils 10 our schools are children, who
