ENTHUSIASTIC OVER ALFALFA
A Michigan Farmer Is Convinced NJ r.
Sterling Merits.

A Michigan Farmer Is Convinced NJ IT'S
Sterling Merits.
For ten years I have sown small
amount Of alfalfa seed with red clover
says Michigan farmer in The Ameri.
can Agriculturist. and am now con.
WINGED that on my farm, consisting of a
light, sandy loan, it is able to endure
the cold of winter as well as red clover,
and the heat Of summer better than
medium, mammoth or alsike. On the
10th Of last May, where few alfalfa
roots had escaped the pillow in the Or
chard, it stood 8 to 10 inches high, while
timothy and orchard grass were 2 to
inches high and Of poor color. The al
falfa was cut close to the ground July
IA and made a growth OF 10 to 13
inches during the next 80 days, while
the surrounding grasses sRarcely grew
at ALL The appearance Of tfAse punches
Of alfalfa induced me last season to try
a little of this clover alone Delay in
recurring the seed prevented the sowing
until June 1. It was then seeded on
level, sandy soil, which had been plowed
early in May and given a moderate
dressing Of barnyard manure. There
was sufficient moisture in the soil to
start growth, but the excessively dry
weather prevented development Of
more than a to 10 inches during the
season, and it was not cut at all. On
one end Of the plat purslane was almost
as high as the alfalfa. On the 25th of
April, 1895, it was 4 to 10 inches high,
way ahead Of the purslane, and is the
most promising crop on the farm. Even
rye does not outgrow it. Contrary to
the common belief, the plants are lar
gest and best where the most manure had
been spread before blowing.
am SO well pleased with my trial
plat that without waiting to harvest a
crop / am blowing a 20 acre field Of
light, sandy land, with water 10 to %
inches below the surface, to be sown to
alfalfa in short time AS proof Of
the hardness of the plant, last spring
sowed an old garden plat to oats, put
ting on at the same time little medium
clover, alsike, timothy and sprinkling
Of alfalfa.
During the drought which followed it
was used as grazing ground for stock
and tramped very severely. Today the
only clover on the plat is alfalfa. be-
gan sowing rye last August, on the goth.
The drill had been used to SOW alfalfa
in June, and there remained in the
seeder 10 to 20 pounds of alfalfa seed,
which was allowed to run out as the
sowing proceeded. Timothy and clover
seed were also sown on this field. The
rye made small growth and was pas
tured with horses and cattle. Where the
tramping was not severe there is today
quite fair stand of alfalfa, but no red
clover or timothy.

JUST A LOCK OF HAIR.

The Old Man Had Lost 1t, but Was Not
Entirely Jnconsolable.
"Here-stop this kyar!'' shouted an old
man in a Broadway car full of passengers
which had just passed Seventeenth street,
the other day.
The conductor rang the bell, and the car
came to stop, but instead of getting off
the man began fumbling in his pockets
and said:
"All of you look aroun' and help me
find it. I've lost sunthin in paper
whats the matter?' asked the con-
ductor as he started the car and came in.
side.
"I've either bin robbed or lost sunthin. /"
"Your wallet?'
piece of paper, and I've lost it out O. my
pocket. Lemme look around leetle.''
AL the passengers near him rose up to
let him search, but the parcel was not to
be found.
"Just lock of hair, was ita' queried
one when it became certain the parcel
could not be found.

eyes, 1t was lock of my wife's hair,
and she's dead. I've carried that fur y ars
and Vars and never lost it afore. That was
awful keerless o. me.''
There was a strong touch of sentiment
in the incident and half dozen passen-
gers rose up again and helped in the search,
but the parcel had not been lost in the car.
More than one sympathetic glance was be-
slowed upon the old man, who seemed
much put out at his loss but presently he
knocked things in the head by sitting
down and crossing his legs and saying:
''Wall, if she's lost, she's lost, and we'll
let it 60. I'm goin' to be married az in
next week anyhow, and s'pose I'd hev
had to hide it away in the courthouse or
