many years ago without success, but it's
remarkable popularity in the west has
again attracted attention to its merits,
and its culture is rapidly extending. It
has been grown at the New York sta

heavy crops of very nutritious fodder

In bulletin from the New York sta

the fresh material very palatable, as
much so as corn, and it is much richer

with the mature fresh corn fodder fed
at the station, the alfalfa forage con-
tains little more moisture, ash, fiber
and fat, much less starch and similar
compounds, but nearly ~ times as
much of the heterogeneous protein, and of
this protein about " per cent is in the
form of easily digestible albuminoids.

have hardly attained their prime and
on soils not thought to be best adapted
to heavy growth the average yield Of
green fodder from five crops of four cut
tings each was over II tons per acre.
This yield and its food value as com.
pared with high average yields of other
prominent forage crops of the farm are
graphically shown in the cut here re-
produced from the bulletin quoted. The
blocks at the left represent by their
width the comparative relations between
the total crop yields, the shaded portions
show the relative amounts of digestible
matter in the yields, and the black

of digestible protein.

Seed Potatoes.

Second crop seed potatoes are good,
as we well know. The next best seed.
says The Farm Journal, is that grown
from last years seed planted SO late
that they do not fully mature before
frost stops growth. When to plant de-
ponds on latitude, climate and variety,
but many who cannot keep tubers in
good condition that have been grown
from April and May paintings may sue
coed if they will plant this month. The
main difficulty is to get good seed at
this season. The resulting crop may be
small, but the seed thus grown will
have strong vitality.

BARNARD Manure.

Conclusions reached by a German au-
thority are that the manure pile must
be carefully constructed and protected
from extremes of moisture and sun:
shine 1t should be kept moist. but not
wet. 1t is well to turn cattle in upon
it occasionally to tramp it down, and
thus exclude excess of air. When the
heap is completed, it should be covered
with earth. If these precautions are OBJ
served, the use of preseryatives may be
dispensed with. The profitableness of
the use of the latter in any case is de-
termined by their cost.

Transplanting Asparagus.

According to American Gardening,
the young plants are not necessarily
transplanted the first year if grown in
garden rows unless the stand be very
thick. But if desired they may be set
in close rows. with plants few inches
apart for the first year. This leaves them
in easy shape to handle when winter
protection is needed.

Best Grain Shock.

Nine bundles of grain make a better

and cap with the ninth, we'll broken,
and the tops toward the prevailing
wind. If we'll set-that is, each sheaf
standing on it's own bottom and
thoroughly closed in at the top-such a
shock will stand stiff windstorm and

Keep the late cabbages well hoed and

Many gardeners and farmers have
discovered that much more money is
made by selling their produce at first
hands from door to door than by selling
to merchants or commission men. A

produce. Such a wagon is shown in

FA|E Or FORTUNE.
Fate is Predetermined and Inevitable
Necessity.
Opportunities Often Lost-Fortune
Is That Favorable Chance Which
Brings Success - Birthday and
Other Predictions for the Coming
Week According to Astrology.

(By Prof. J. Macdonald, AStrologer)
There can be no doubt whatever that
mankind is governed by an underlined
law of nature called fate. This law is
exemplified in the life of every human
being. Fate is a premeditated and in
evitable necessity. 1t is law by which
everything in nature is controlled. 1t is
destiny However much one may pride
himself on his freedom and independ-
ence, the fact remains that his independ-
ence depends upon his destiny or the
law governing the very root OF his
being. Man comes into this world with
certain characteristics, talents and pro-
pensities, and is forced into an environ
ment for the existence of which he is
not responsible. To be successful he
must adapt himself to the conditions of
the life into which his birth brought
him. and tbs only from the standpoint
of his individual existence.
According to the laws gov
erning the universe, man is
without doubt fated to come
under the influence of certain plan
etary forces, but with liberty of action
(arising from the ever changing consti-
tuon of his body) to change his fate to
fortune. 1t, therefore, is necessary for
him to know his fate before he can de-
termine his fortune and profit by the
changes that are continually occurring in
his life. Fortune is that favorable chan
mel which brings success. The next best
thing to fortune, is escaping the dangers
which threaten the affairs of life. This
is thing one cannot entirely do. To be
in a position of fortified knowledge of
impending evil should be the aim of all
sensible people. Without this knowledge
all evils become the more disastrous
from the fact that they come in IN
guarded moments and by ways that are
least suspected.
Opportunities are continually lost for
want Of decision at the proper time. The
operations of nature are so mathemati-
caily exact, that under similar condi-
tons from like causes, she produces like
effects. Thus by a curious disposition Of
ra'isa and effect, certain persons are
round to have lucky and unlucky days.
1t is matter of history that such days
do exist both for individuals and fami-
lies. The following are the birthday and
other predictions for the coming week,
according to astrology:
