THE ALFALFA PLANT.
C. a. Birds Sensible Suggestion on tt
Culture.

Seeing an invitation for experience
with alfalfa and soy beans for your
columns, l cheerfully give mine. 1t
may aid some one or ave some n a
little expense. 1t is from our own
mistakes and experience and these OF
otners, that we learn, says a writer in
the Nevada Post:
In April, 1899, | sowed an expert
mental patch Of ground with timothy
red top, red clover and alfalfa. The
ground had been sown TO wheat the
! fall previous, but froze out during the
winter. / got a poor stand Of each.
But what alfalfa did catch, is still
growing and keeping the red topsteady
company. The ground Is a little
Ispouty and is too wet for alfalfa, ex-
cept in places.
On another plat Of live acres, which
| wanted to seed for pasture, / sowed
alfalfa, red and white clover, blue
grass, timothy and red top seeds. The
alfalfa came up and grew well for a
while, but we had several heavy rains
during the spring and the ground
seemed to pack too closely around the
alfalfa plants and kin them Just at
the top OF the ground. They would
spront from beneath the surface and
start again until about the third or
fourth time and finally gave IL up.
There are a few plants yet standing,
but do not make a very vigorous
growth,
Since that time / have studied the
alfalfa subject pretty well and believe
| have found where | made my mis-
takes.
With the first plat, ! ought to have
thoroughly prepared the ground by
blowing, narrowing and rolling. The
ground should have been free, OF as
nearly SO as possible, Of weed seeds
and should not have sown any other
grass seeds with 1t Then when the
alfalfa and weeds were 8 to IL inches
high ] should have moved II, leaving
the grass and weeds on the ground
where cut.
1t is not advisable to pasture alfalfa
the first of the season, o in fact at
any time with heavy animals, as cows
and horses. II a COW or horse steps on
the crown or plant Of alfalfa when
frozen, 1t kills the plant. But alfalfa
is good for hogs and sheep and visa
versa.
My mistake on the second plat was
in sowing alfalfa there at all. The
ground vas foul with weed seeds and
being for pasture it was not a suita-
bic grass for it. And only mainly be.
cause 1t is only from three to eight
feet to a solid sandstone, which is
from 10 to % feet thick, on which IL
is nearly impossible for alfalfa &C
grow.
Alfalfa wants an open or loamy soil
with a deep subsoil without solid
rocks, as It's roots have been known to
penetrate to a depth OF more than 100
feet.

According to the best information
available, negotiations for the control of
the Mobile & Ohio railway by the South
ern Railway company are practically
complete. There may be still some bonds
to pay and it is possible that terms for
the lease or whatever legal form may
be adopted to insure the control, are
not all fixed as Yet, but as to the proba-
bility of a consolidation being effected
in due time, the information obtained
leaves barely the shadow of doubt.
When the Mobile and Ohio is turned
over to the Southern, the latter system
will have a new road Of about SIG miles,

President Eliot of harvard Says Out
look is Very Encouraging for
Gentlemanly Sport.

Cambridge. Mass. Jan. So.--The APP
pearance Of the annual report OF Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard university last
night at once awakened interest in
what comment he would make on col
legiate athletics. in view of pleas for
an Improvement in sport in previous
reports. Less space than usual is de-
voted to athletics and the general tone
is commendatory. The presideYt. said
in part:
The American colleges seem to be
gradually learning to conduct amateur
sports in a reputable manner: ~ Har-
ward university has had it's full share
of the difficulties during the past thirty
years, but it has at last found way
to satisfactory constitution for Il
committee to regulate athletic sports.
This committee has been initiat ed
in other institutions, and its work has
gradually found acceptance, both
among the undergraduates and the
graduates of Harvard university. Thus
the rules governing 'gibility which
We're worked out by the Harvard COM
mittee have proved acceptable in the
other institutions. The conferences on
inter- collegiate athletics, which opened
two and half years ago at Providence.
published a yearly report in the early
summer of 1900 in which rules were
formulated and recommended for adop-
ton by all universities and colleges.
These rules are substantially the same
as the Harvard rules~

And One that Gives Much Offense to
the Beers.

New York Jan. 30.-A despatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The accession of the king has been
proclaimed in the Dutch territories UNI
der the style of supreme lord of and
over the TranSvaal and the Orange
River colony. The pro- Boer critics of
the government object to the phrasng
as needlessly offensive to the Dutch
burghers. but it is hardly possible for
them to approve anything that is done
by either Lord Kitchener or the i'm
perial authorities. Sir Alfred Miner
probably adapted the proclama ton to
What he considered the requirements of
the situation and he has been conspicu-
Gus ordinarily for tact in considering
the prejudices Of the Dutch.
There is no reason to doubt that the
king shared his mothers opinion respect
ing the justice and necessity for the
British campaign in South Africa. What
IS uncertain is his judgment respecting
Mr.. Chamberlain. who during the
1ueen's closing years seemed to be her
fayorite minister. The king has always;
been true non partisan in British poll
ties, dealing impartially with leaders of
both parties and concealins his preju-
dices and preferences.
