Fall Sowing.

DO not delay the fall sowing until
too late. Where grain is to be sown
in the cotton fields, you can pick the
cotton over and plow the seed in
with sweep. This is far better
plan than waiting for the cotton to
be picked and sowing the grain 80
late that it is winter killed. If you
want to SOW clover or rye where
corn is now growing, you can do 80
provided you have not chilled up"
your corn rows too much. Crimson
clover should be sown the last of
August or the first of September,
and there is no reason why you
should not SOW your corn land in
this valuable hay plant. 1t is ready
to NOW by the first of May-in good
time for you to prepare the land for
corn. We have tried this system of
sowing corn land in rye and crimson
clover in tho fall, and find that it
greatly improves the yield of corn,
Besides giving a good crop Of hay
besides this general crop of rye and
clover, you should SOW rich patch
of each near the barn for early green
feed. 1t will be about the first thing
ready for feeding in the spring, and
will increase the milk and butter
yield of the COWS.
Now is the time to decide where
You intend to SOW your wheat. It
will not pay to SOW upon poor. land,
for wheat like every thing else does
better upon good land than upon that
which is thin. One should always
SOW just what wheat he thinks he
can manure, and SOW clover with the
wheat. 1t is better to farm with
rotation of wheat, clover, and then
corn, and use your manure upon the
wheat and clover, than it is to try to
make IT do for all. If any CONNER
cial fertilizers are to be used, let it be
upon the corn.
Oats should be sown from the last
of August on rs long as there is any
reasonable chance of them withstand
ing the winter freezes. Oats sown
in the fall generally yield about twice
as much per acre as spring sowing.
1T pays better to SOW less land and
use manure and fertilizers upon this
crop, than it does to SOW too much
land. For fall sowing, we have not
found better variety than the Vir-
ginia gray oat. resembles the win
ter white oat somewhat, except that
the grain is smaller and the straw is
finer. There is no advantage in
plowing the land deep for oats or
wheat, especially where it is under
cultivation; but the soil should be
free from clods and trash. Upon
clay lands, all fall sown crops should
be rolled or firmcd with the drag, to
prevent the action of frost from start
ing the young plants from the ground.

With no biting mosquitoes
We'll sleop the night through.

Of crystal we'll drink,

And keep on increasing,
Until you have wealth.

GOOD WORDS FOR ALFALFA.
Some OF the People OF Nebraska Call il The
Mortgage Litter.

Mortgage Litter.
Alfalfa is the great crop of the
middle section of Nebraska. There
is less labor and more profit in it
than in any other. 1t is what they
call "dcad cinch" every year.
Neither drought nor grasshoppers
nor any other of the evils that have
afflicted the farms Of Nebraska ever
interfere with the alfalfa field. II is
an audacious and a stubborn plant
and will grow in spite Of all obsta-
cles-on the clay hills and other
places where the land is not good
Tor anything elsc-and the wise
farmer makes profit out of that per-
yersity. They call alfalfa snort
gage litter" out here, and it has as
sisted in the payment of large por-
tion of the farm debts of the State.
Alfalfa is the Spanish clover. In
every town of Spain and South
America long strings of donkcys
come i'll every morning with every
thing but their heads aud their pipe
stem legs concealed by their burdens
of alfalfa. The poems sell it on the
curb stone to feed The COWS, the
pigs and the goats or the poor sad
die horse of the proud hidalgos.
Ont in Nebraska they convert it
into beef, mutton and pork, and it is
by far the most certain as well as
the most profitable plant that grows
in that region.
Alfalfa is comparatively new
thing in North America, although it
is as old as history in Europe. The
legions Of Caesar and Alexander the
Great fed their horses upon it. 1t
was introduced into South America
by the Spf niards, and tlourished
there for tree centuries before it
was brought to California, where its
usefulness was soon demonstrated,
and it gradually worked its way
eastward over the mountains into
the dry portions of the prairie States,
where it is now become the most i'm
portant staple.
Alfalfa will not grow without water
any more than corn or wheat, but it
can get along with less and it's roots
will penetrate the ground to depth
of thirty feet or more in search Of
moisture. 1t is said afacia roots
have been found sixty feet from the
surface, reaching the very artesan
basin. 1t thrives best in porus soils,
which offers the least resistance to
it's roots. On rood land it produces
four crops during the season, from
one to onc-and. half tons to an acre,
and fifth crop that is used for hog
pasturagc late in the fall. Cured
alfalfa sells at from $3 to 81 a ton,
according to the supply and location.
Not less than $50 in cash an acre
ought to be derived from alfalfa in
ordinary circumstances
One crop Of seed, about four BUSH
els to the acre, is usually saved, and
sells for about 81 bushel. There
is ready market and an increasing
demand. The hay from which the
seed has been thrashcd is fed to
horses, but is not good for fattening
cattle.
A by product of the alfalfa fields
is honey. Nearly all the Nebraska
farmers wives keep hives Of bees,
which feed upon its purple blossoms.
