Alfalfa Roots.

OF course l have always dimly real
lied that i'll its subtcr1anean habits al
falfa differed from most other plants,
but the full extent of this difference
was never fully brought home to me
until last fall while eNcavating for a
cellar in alfalfa sod. The soil in uues-
tion is a light loan, with occasional
thin streaks of clay. 1t had been well
plowed in the fall of 1891, and the Win
ter frosts left it in prime shape for
seeding in early May. 1 used twenty
pounds of seed per acre, which proved
to be rather too much, considering the
fine condition of the soil, as it gave a
probable average of twenty plants per
foot. The excavation was made five
and one-half feet deep. Much to NV
establishment, one square foot of the
cellar, bottom showed twenty-five of
the tough, white tap-roots shooting
straight down into the unknown depths
below. while over the whole area an
average of thirteen or fourteen was
maintained. In six months growth
two-tllirds of these plants had sent
their tap-roots more than five and one
half feet in quest of water.-F. NJ.

Wines from the Woods.

What would you think of turning a
spigot and getting a glass of wine from
the tree? Well, this very thing is done
down in the island Of Mindanao, one of
the Philippines. There the natives al
ways draw their wine and whisky from
the cocoanut trees. They cut off the
blossoms and fasten to them. bamboo
tubes, into which the sap runs. Ever
so often they remove the tube and emp
ty the liquid into another bamboo.
After being left for six hours the stuff
begins to ferment, and before the day
is over it is turned into a liquor which,
as the Indians say, twill make the
drunk come" The stuff looks like
cider and smells somewhat like old
buttermilk.

Topdressing After Having,

There are many cases where an appli-
cation of fine, well-rotted manure di-
rectly after the first crop of grass is
taken off will do much to start a good
second growth, but this year it has
been SO dry in this section that there
seems little benefit would have been
found by such a t%opdressing. We would
wait until after the cutting of the Sec
ond crop, If there is any, or until about
October, and apply it then. not consfd-
ering 1T so important to have the ma
nure fine, as it will become so before
next spring. or can quickly be made SO
by the use of n light harrow or brush.
But il manure is all needed for lloed
crops, do not make the mistake of ap-
plying commercial fertilizer this fall.
Wait until early spring and then make
IL mixture 1000 pounds of raw bone,
400 pounds each of nitrate of soda and
muriate of potash. or in that propor-
ton, and use from $50 to 400 pounds
per acre, according to whether YOU
want a heavy or very heavy crop. For

nitrate of soda would be enough, or on
land which has been lately heavily

Whine of Garden.

The market garden business is IL very
good business usually when one makes
it his entire business. Yet there are al
ways failures and disappointments in
it. Some crops fail to grow we'll. and
others yield abundantly and cannot be
sold ut a satisfactory price. But the
family garden, a little larger than need
ed for the home supply, well MANFRED
and well cared for, is a disap-
pointment. If some crop is a partial fail
+ it may not have any surplus over
the home demand, but there will be
something else to substitute for it. IL
another is over abundant and low
priced it can be used freely, and will
taste just as good as ii the price were
twice as high. If there is a market for
the surplus and it is sold. 1t seems al
most like finding money, and il it can
not be sold there are some who find
much pleasure in supplying the wants
of poorer neighbors who cannot afford
to pay the price asked by retail deal
ers. Plan each year to have a good
| garden, and trust to luck only for the
market.-American Cultivator.
