FOR THE FARMER,
Raise Some Alfalfa.

Whenever alfalfa can be success
fully grown it should be a part of
the crop the coming season on
every farm. 1t is much more valu-
able as feeding ration than corn,
and on good soil will yield larger
crops. 1t is one of the best of
crops to furnish protein, and can
be grown at less expense than
corn. The soil should be reason
ably riCh-good corn land will
answer-and considerable lime is
essential to success. If there is
little lime in the soil or subsoil, a
top dressing of lime should be
given when preparing the soil.
On clean soil, one that has been
in some hoed crop is best, SOW the
seeds in drills in April at the rate
of about IS pounds to the acre.
Keep the field clean by cultivation,
and cut every time the alfalfa be-
gins to blossom, regardless of the
height of the plants 1t can be
cut about every six weeks after
the first cutting, which is usually
about the time Of corn planting,
and as a Summer food for COWS is
unsurpassed by anything grown
on the farm If not allowed to GO
to seed the first year--and this
will be prevented by the frequent
cutting advised-the growth will
be such that there will be little oil
no trouble with weeds after the
first year.

When Horses Go TO Sleep.

1t is not generally known that
at least four out of every ten
horses do not lie down to sleep.
The horse that sleeps in stand
ing position rests on one leg at a
time, depending on the other three
to sustain the weight of his body.
The habit is very dangerous one.
Only a short time since fine
horse in the stables of a big manu-
featuring concern went to sleep
while standing in his stall and
fell heavily to the floor, breaking
one of his legs. A great many
horses are permanently injured as
a result of accidents of this nature,
and there is no way of curing
them of the habit.

To Mill Cabbage Worms.

This Spring and Summer the
cabbage worms will no doubt cause
much annoyance. The white but
terf1y, the parent of the cabbage
worm, is usually early in putting
in an appearance if the plants are
we'll advanced. There are many
excellent remedies, but the ma
jority are open to objections.
Pure paris green is effectual, but
the sale of the cabbages will be in
iured if it is known that the poi
son is used. 1t has been used ex-
tensively, but cases have occurred
in which i'll effects have resulted
to consumers. Kerosene leaves a
disagreeable odor, though it is
fatal to the worms. One pound of
pyrethrum leaves mixed with 100
gallons of water will kill every
worm with which it comes in con
tact, and the remedy is harmless

the period required for their ger

of planting, Peas planted on

MANY orchards are ruined by
overpruning. No pruning means
no water sprouts.
Young orchards should be regu-
larly and thoroughly cultivated to
induce healthy and rapid growth.
In selecting trees, get those that
are vigorous and thrifty. Get
them when possible from the home
nursery.
One of the most serious mis-
takes in planting out a CONNER
cial orchard is in planting too
many varieties.
One of the best washes for fruit
trees is a lime whitewash to which
small quantity of carbolic acid
has been added.
Clover and COW pease are valu-
able crops to grow in the orchard.
They supply nitrogen, an essen
tial element of tree growth.
1t is an important item, so tar as
can be done, to pack the earth
over the roots so that the hard
winds will not loosen them.
One of the best means of pre-
venting borers and other pests
from injuring trees is to put on
tree protectors when the tree is
set out.
Ben Davis, Gano, Jonathan,
Winesap, Grimes's golden and
Missouri pippins make up good
list from which to plant for COM
mercial apple orchard.
One advantage in planting corn
in a young orchard is that it at
fords shade to the young trees
and at the same time protects
them from hard winds.
One of the very worst crops
that can be grown in an orchard
is wheat, for the reason that it
uses nitrogen, an essential element
of plant food for trees.
Strawberry plants will begin to
grow as soon as the frost is out of
the ground and then is a good
time to fertilize. Wood ashes and
superphosphate is good fertilizer.
Failure to provide good drain
age so that the roots are too wet
and setting the trees too deep
when planting are two leading
causes of root rot among fruit trees.
No matter what crop is grown
for the first four or five years after
setting out, thorough and frequent
cultivation is essential at least dur
ing the early part of the growing
season.
One of the cheapest and best
ways of fighting insect pests in
the orchard is by giving a good
flock of poultry the run of it,
Their natural instinct is to pick up
every bug, insect and worm they

controversies, earnest but good-natured
discussions were of daily occurrence.
One afternoon most of the officers were
present and debate was running high
with the young Detroiter as the only
champion of America. He had his back
to the wall ana kept his head like vet
cran. He parted and thrust with such
rapidity that his assailants were sore
puzzled as to the best mode OF attack.
Finally the big engineer made this
thrust: "Well. it begins to look to me
as though there was no way but for
England to go at it and lick your bloom

Novel Mail Matter.

n NE DAY several years ago a mail
clerk, who Is still in the service with
duties at one of the railway stations In
Detroit as transfer clerk, took his little
son along with him on the Grand Rapids
and Detroit run. 1t was not the first
trip the youngster had made with his
father, and the novelty had worn off to
a certain extent. At one point of the
run the clerk was very busy Singing
his mall and his attention for a time
was withdrawn from the movements of
the little companion. When he at last
looked around he was Mortified to find
that his son was nowhere in sight.
Visions of a fall out of the car during
the swift running of the train flashed
across the fathers mind, and the cold
perspration stood out on his forehead as
ne thought of the little, mangled form
lying along the track miles behind him.
Work for the father was quite impossible
for the remainder of the run to the next
station. He was alone in his car, and
there was no way of communicating with
any of the train crew until they stopped.
His feelings may be imagined by any
dotng parent,

the agonized father. "Oh, what will be-
