VALUE OF ALFALFA.
1t Makes an Excellent Permanent
Pasture Which Lasts for Eight
or More Years.

Those sections of the country
where alfalfa can be grown have in
this crop one of the most valuable of
our forage crops. 1t supplies the pro-
tein which is such an essential food
element, and does so at small cost,
because of it's immense growth when
all conditions are fayora BILE. It has
been grown successfully in portions
of nearly every state in the union.
Alfalfa is valuable in a permanent
pasture, as it lasts for eight and ten
years, as the roots often penetrate
the soil to a depth of ten feet, though
usually about half this depth.
It requires rich, loose soil with
porous subsoil The ground should
be ploWed deep and then finely pull
verized, and be free of weed seed as
possible, for during the first year the
plant is very delicate. Hence it is
best to sow on land that has been oc-
cupied by well-cultivated plant. It
is sown broadcast or by suita bic drill,
generally about 20 pounds of seed per
acre. When sown for hay more seed
is sown, as the hay will be finer. The
seed is sown in the spring after all
danger from frost is passed. Alfalfa
is quoted at IS to 20 cents per pound,
according to the quality.
Would not small test patches of al
falfa be wise in districts where it
is not now grown? AS stated, it re-.
quires porous subsoil for best de-
velopment, and this is lacking in
many sections of our middle west
states; yet in all of these there are
areas in which alfalfa can be grown
if pains are taken to get it estab-
ed.-Rural World.

SELLING THE CULLS.
TWO Things Wherein Many Begin
ners in the Stock Business Are
Likely to Make q Mistake

One of the hardest things for a
young breeder to do is to discard ami
mails that are not up to the standard
for breeding purposes. There are al
ways buyers for pure-bred animals
at a price. 1t matters not if the ami
NAL is inferior it will often command
enough more than grade to tempt
the breeder to part with it. Here is
where great many breeders help
tear down their reputation even while
they are trying to build it up. In
ferior breeding stock sold to some
body has lived to vex many man
who thought he was getting rid of
his culls to advantage. It requires
courage to send pure-bred animals to
the shambles, but it pays when they
are not the kind to keep. It requires
courage also to refuse good prices
for high-class breeding animals; but
that also pays if man is in the busi-
ness for keeps. In these two things
is where most men who have start
in breeding live stock are likely to
make mistake. The safe and even
tually the profitable plan is to sell
good ones and keep better ones

Everybody knows what a dainty an
imal sheep is, and the prime necessi-
ty Of keeping everything about their
compartments scrupulously clean. A
sheep will never eat anything that has
once been mussed over unless driven
to it by starvation, and it would not
be good policy to insist on it's doing so.
With such feed rack as portrayed one
can keep feed troughs almost perfect
ly clean. A sheep cannot get over this
rack, and it is next to impossible for
them to get into it, The rack can be
made of any length, but it is good
policy to make them such lengths as to
be convenient for partitions to the
focks, being so arranged that feed can
be eaten from both sides. Sheep are
not likely to get chaff in their wool
when feeding from such rack.-R. O.

Prof. w. A. Henry, in Feeds and

tions for :sducing cobs to charcoal
are given by Theodore Louis: Dig a
hole in the ground five feet deep. one
foot IN diameter at the bottom and
five feet at the top for the charcoal
pit. Take the corncobs, which have
been saved in a dry place, and, start
ing fire in the bottom of this pit,
keep adding cobs so that the, flame
is gradually drawn to the top of the
pit, which will be thus filled with
the cobs. Then take sheet-iron
cover, similar to pot lid in form,
and over five feet in diameter. SO as
amply to cover the hole, and close
up the burning mass, sealing the
edges of this lid in turn with earth.
At the end of II hours you may un-
cover and take out fine sample of
corncob charcoal. Charcoal SO pro-
duced may be fed directly, or, better
still, compounded as directed by Mr..
Louis in the following manner: Take
six bushels of this cob charcoal. or
three bushels of common charcoal:
eight pounds of salt; two quarts of
air-slaked lime; one bushel Of wood
ashes. Break the charcoal we'll down,
with shovel or other implement, and
thoroughly mix. Then take III
pounds of copperas and dissolve in
