LUoERNE OR ALFALFA.
It's vaiuo for Permanol. Meadows In tho
East and West.

Probably tho 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 n practical farmer
who has grown it six years, and is en-
thuslast;c in its praise. He bought
two pounds OF seed, which he sowed.
mixed with other grass seeds, on half
or thrce-quarters of an acre of not very
rich land. The soil was very dry and
hard, and this appears 10 be its favor
ite situation. When it once gets hold
the plant spreads. and It's roots strike
downward in search of moisture. The
more 1t 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 IL has usually
been mown twice and then fed off by
cows Either MS hay or pasture it is
excellent for making milk, though as
hay it needs to DO supplemented by
some more succulent food
Tho oth1r grasses on this piece have
mostly disappeared, and the ground is
pretty well covered with the alfalfn.
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-draincd land. 1t is
the long continued dry weather in
10 no Il; IN
so well 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 q
pest TO the farmer on titled land.
Once plowing under efTectually de-
| str0ys 1t.
For some reason alfalfa docs not
perfect its seed in our climate. and
reliance for seed must bo on Cali
fornia- Possibly in Eastern localities
subject 10 long-continucd drought
alfalfa seed may be grown. This is at
least worth trial under such condi-
tions. From what is known of alfalfa,
1t is best TO SOW fully MS thickly as
clover seed, that its growth at first
may be finer. The seed is larger than
that of clover; and, for this reason, if
sown early enough, 1t Is more sure TO
catch. Tho farmer who gives us this
information says 1t will grow any
where. even In tho hard beaten road,
if sown early and not disturbed until
it gets rooted. He has bought five
pounds of alfalfa seed, which
no proposes 10 SOW in
partly cleared wood lot, rs
soon as the snow is cleared off sufii-
ciently. Tho 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 tho 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 formerly
Probably some insect parasite is less
ening its numbers. 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 american CultiUdtor.

MARKETING IN CHINA.
Work That Requires Considcrabl,
Shrowdncss and Perseverance.

Work That Requires Considerable
shrowdncss and Perseverance.
A Chinese market is noisy and ami
mated. You ask the price of shad, for
instance or of crabs, and the dealer
raises tho price of m ounce by so
many cash. which you have to beat
down. What Adam SNith called the
"higgling of the markc,," exists here
in its perfection. After wasting con-
siderable time in talking and splitting
differences, you at last decide TO buy.
or tho trader concludes 10 sell. But
however much you may congratulate
yourself on having made n good bar.
gain, you can not bo certain that 9TH
ers may not make much better bar
gains with tho same man. Vegetables
are sold by other dealers. and the same
process must be gone through before
you can make fair purchase. Gro
cory stores arc plenty and there
you will find on sale all sorts of
sauces preserves. sugars and so forth,
in fact whatever is dealt in by grocers
in America.
Beef is not often eaten by the Chi
nese, OH account of their religious
scruplos, most Of them being tinged,
more or less, with Buddhism, but os-
pecially because the OK is used in
blowing. Occasionally you will find q
stall for the salo of beef Through
tho Same prejudice little cows milk is
used by the people. and that little is
made into thin cakes, well salted, to
be taken as q relish.
But II kind of cheese Is made of bean
curd. Tho beans are ground in hand
mills and dissolved in water. then
strained and steamed. Tho result is
perfectly white cake, something like
blanc-mangc. 1t is eaten with shrimp
sauce. This cake is also dried. There
is also a sauce made from beans.
You perhaps wonder why have not
described tho cats, kittens and dogs.
which are said to bc the common food
of the Chinese people. Tho reason is
because no such things are to be found
in the market n fact know of no
place where such articles of food can
DO had, except in q low part OF Can
ton, where people who are almost
starved will buy any thing to sustain
life. Tho Chinese people live on
wholesome food, rs you will learn
from good authorities They cat rice
as you eat bread. They make cakes
of wheat, too. -YaB PtOu Lee, in 81
