LUCERNE OR ALFALFA.
It's Value for Permanent Meadows in tn
East and West.


| East and West.
Probably the French lucerne, which
is known to Californians as alfalfa, is
better adapted to our trying climate
than any other grass We were talk
ing recently with practical farmer
who has grown it six years, and is en-
thusiast;c in its praise. He bought
two pounds of seed, which he sowed,
mixed with other grass seeds, on half
or three-quarters of an acre of not very
rich land. The soil was very dry and
hard, and this appears to be its favor
lite situation. When it once gets hold
the plant spreads. and its roots strike
| downward in search of moisture The
more it is cut and the closer it is past
ured the better it thrives. Some sea-
sons the piece has been cut three and
even four times. but it has usually
been mown twice and then fed off by
COWS. Either as hay or pasture it is
excellent for making milk, though as
hay it needs to be supplemented by
some more succulent food.
The other grasses on this piece have
mostly disappeared, and the ground is
pretty well covered with the alfalfa.
1t is certainly stronger and thicker on
the ground than it was the first or
second year. The roots are large, and
go directly down to the depth of three
feet or more. OF course this is only
possible on well-drained land. 1t is
the long continued dry weather in
California which makes that climate
so we'll suited to alfalfa. And yet
though its roots are so strong and Wig
orous, their habit of growth is such
that the plant can never become a
pest to the farmer on titled land.
Once blowing under effectually de-
stroys it.
For some reason alfalfa does not
perfect its seed in our climate, and
reliance for seed must be on Cali
fornia- Possibly in Eastern localities
subject to long-continued drought
alfalfa seed may be grown. This is at
least worth trial under such condi-
tions. From what is known of alfalfa.
it is best to SOW fully as thickly as
clover seed, that its growth at first
may be finer. The seed is larger than
that of clover; and, for this reason, il
sown early enough, it is more sure to
catch. The farmer who gives us this
information says it will grow any
where. even in the hard-beaten road.
If sown early and not disturbed until
it gets rooted. He has bought five
pounds of alfalfa seed, which
he proposes to sow in
partly-cleared wood lot as
soon as the snow is cleared off suffi-
GENTLY. The surface is partly covered
with natural grasses. but he thinks
alfalfa will gradually displace them,
and of course greatly increase the
yield of pasture.
The bright green verdure of alfalfa
attracts the attention of passers-by.
and there are many inquiries as to
what it is, especially in times OF
drought. A week after being cut
new growth will spring up, just as red
clover used to do before the worm
troubled 1t. We think that the clover
worm is not so injurious as oimerly
Probably some insect parasite is less
ening its mum ers. But alfalfa has so
many of the good qualities OF red
clover. that in places adapted to its
growth it may in part be substituted
for 1t. american Cultivator'
