A Word About Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is perennial plant, which
flourishes best in warm climates and deep,
rich soils; the roots grow long and large,
and when once established in favorable
location an immense amount of fodder
will be produced for several years. 1t
succeeds admirably in California, where
its long tap root seems to defy drought,
and Is especially well adapted to our
southern states; but it is not suited to q
hard pan or close compact clay soil or
thin lands, but delights in soils where its
long tap roots meet with no obstruction.
There is no better plant known for pro-
ducing a large amount of fodder for soil
ing purposes from n small area Of ground
adapted to its growth, and it is also used
for hay, although owing to the woody
fibre OF its stem it is not equal to red
clover 1t hes been grown to some extent
in the northern states, and even in
Canada but being of southern origin its
best results are to be expected in warm,
dry climates on soils adapted to its habits.
The seed can be had from almost any
scotsman, and the quoted price is fifteen
cents per pound. If sown broadcast the
land should he rich, well prepared and
free from weeds, otherwise the plants are
liable to be Overrun and killed out, for its
first growth from the seed is not vigor-
Gus one, and for this reason many put it
in in drills from one to two feet apart, so
that the weeds can be kept down until the
plants have gained the mastery and are
able to take care of themselves.

ncans Infected with Weeyils.

An English cxperimenter has lately
published II report giving the results of a
series Of trials with beans infested with
weevils. The general impression prevails
that provided the plumule or radical be
not injured, the plants do not materially
suffer from the mere perforation and par
tial consumption of the cotyledon.
The report of the English experimental
makes it appear that for time plants
raised from seeds thus perforated show
no signs of weakness, but when the flow
ering period arrives then the blossoms
produced are few and small, the plant
withers and sometimes dies without pro.
ducing single pod. Additional expert
ments made with five different varieties
showed that the total product was SO
greatly diminished as to leave no ground
for doubt that the presence of the weevil
in the seed is highly detrimental, affecting
to very considerable degree the repro
ductive powers of the future plant.

cuts out the main stem.

PROPER AND IMPROPER WAY OF PRUNING.
While the Kansas correspondent does
not seriously object to the very usual
mode of training two limbs from opposite
sides OF the stem of u tree, he considers it
to be far better for the growth of all above
for only one limb to start from the stem
at any one place. Four to six or eight
inches apart is better. These limbs should
radiatc from the trunk or stem like the
spokes of wheel, alternating from side
to side Of the tree.
As for height of first limbs from the
ground, the planter should be governed
by his latitude From 81 dogs. to AZ degs.
north, twelve to eighteen inches is by far
the best to prevent sun scald and the at
tacks of the round headed borer. Figs. /
and illustrate the proper training Of the
limbs in u horizontal position from the
trunk. A limb growing this way will not
split down by either ice, winds or weight
of fruit. The reverse of this is shown in
the acute fork in Fig. g. The junction of
the limb to the trunk on the upper side is
imperfect, the swaying of the limb by the
wind or storm and the entrance of moist
ure causing early decay and splitting.
In conclusion this writer says: sit will
be profitable for Il planter to procure his
CRAFTS. plant in rows four feet apart and
two to three feet in the row. With this
distance apart, by good culture and proper
training, he can raise Il tree worth n score
of many of those from our OverCrOwded
nurseries .

A Kansas correspondent in Prairie

Illustrated with a plain diagram, to the vast
amount of literature already published on
this important subject. The correspond
ent alluded to believes that onc-half Of the
trees lost south of parallel 10 dogs.
north is caused by improper training or
heading of the young tree the first two
years of its growth, 10th in the nursery
and in the orchard. Nursery culture is
not conducive TO the proper heading of the
trees in his opinion. The want of room
for the growth Of the side branches, and
the cutting back of the main central stem,
is the invariable practice the first year
from the graft. AS II consequence, a
large number of limbs start out, often
three or four that dwarf the central stem,
and then to cap the climax the planter,
when setting out his trees in the orchard,
cuts out the main stem.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
GALVESTON, February 1.-THE residence
of George Dealey, between Tenth and
Eleventh streets, on the Strand, was
burned early this morning. The building
and contents were valued at about $4,000.
Much of the furniture was saved. The
property was well insured. 1t is thought
the fire originated from a defective fiue.
The board of water commissioners, at
its session to-day, finally awarded the
contract for the drilling of ten
artesian wells with which 70
supply the new water works.
Louis Seigel, of New York, was the sue
cessful bidder. He offers to bore ten
wells and guarantee a flow of 100000
gallons Der day for the Sum of $4,000,
$4,000 of which is payable when he Sc
cures 100000 gallons; $4,000 additional
when he secures 100000, and another
$4,000 when 100000 gallons
are obtained. This is regarded bv
the water commissioners as an exceed.
ingly favorable contract, and Seigel was
advised by wire of the award. He will he
required to give bonds, and begin work At
very early date.

wrEvIL AND PERFORATED BEAN.

The injury done TO peas by the pea
weevil, is of the same character rs that
of the bean by the bean weevil, though
the latter insect eats several holes in the
seed, while the pea weevil makes only
one. The injury to the vitality of pea
plants produced from buggy peas may not
be so great ms that to the beans. as shown
by the experiments mentioned, though
positive proof of this is lacking. At all
events, one should be careful TO secure
souul peas, rs well rs sound beans for

and bean, in the cut. represents the
natural length Of the bean weevil

Among the Sheep.

The wisdom OF providing shelter against
cold storms and chilly winds has been
made apparent, even in the more southern
exposures The old idea that sheep do
not require drink and that their wool will
keep them warm without shelter is an eX
ploded one. Extra care during the win
ter season in way of both feed and shelter
pays in the long run, and must be given
if best results in wool and mutton are OBJ
tanned.
Bear in mind the fact that sheep thrive
much better in dry than in wet seasons,
and provide when it is practicable, high,
dry locations for winter quarters. Low
damp places are bad for all animals,
and especially so for sheep.
On the subject Of feed for sheep, particu-
larly the animals that are to have lambs
in the carly spring Rural New Yorker
has given some sound advice, in which
occurs the following: Cottonseed
is not . desirable food for any
breeding animal, for the sufficient rea-
son that its effects encourage abortion
Again, fine foods are not suitable for
sheep which maGticute their food most
thoroughly. Corn and other carbonaceous
foods arc also not good for sheep except in
small quantities, Seeep are warmly
clothed and do not require so much car
bonaceous food as other animals do. They
are kept for wool and lambs, chiefly, and
rs the wool contains 1G per cent of nitro
gen and the lamb needs special provision
for its flesh and bone, foods rich in nitro
gen and phosphoric acid are required.
Hence, clover, as pasture and hay, should
be the main feeding for sheep, and bran
and cats, with little corn only, should
furnish the grain food. Three pounds of
good clover hay and four ounces Of mixed
bran, oats and buckwheat would keep n
sheep Of 100 pounds weight in good con-
dition, along with as much oat and pea
straw as it will eat.

"Cost and value, young gentlemen, are
two different things" said Professor B.,
in addressing his college class. "Cost is
a certain specified sum, but value gener-
ally depends on the worth of an article to
the purchaser. For example, few years
ago, was afflicted with troublesome
blood disease, for which 1 tried various
remedies in vain. They cost me certain
sums, but were of no value. At last l
took Ayers Sarsaparilla, and it cured me.
Now the cost of that medicine is only 81
a bottle, but its value, who can estimate"

More Lean Meat Than Fat.

There is n decided tendency among our
more progressive breeders to build up
breeds of hogs and cattle with more lean
meat than fat. This movement has been
brought about in part by the growing OBJ
iectiOns of consumers to 50 much fat,
especially where pork is concerned, and
the waste entailed. In feeding with
view to the production of more lean meat,
close pens and large ratiOns of corn have
given place to run for hogs in day time,
with q warm shelter for the night, and IL
varied ration in which corn forms but
