Farmers in central New York are
realizing a good profit in their onion
crop this year, as they are selling at
$1.30 a bushel at retail and a dollar at
wholesale, according to the American
Cultivaor. Some have grown 5OO
bushels to the acre and do not estl-
mate the expense at over $50 per acre.
Those who had them on upland We're
the fortunate ones, as the heavy rains
drowned out nearly one-half the crop
on lowlands. The crop on lowlands has
averaged from 200 to $50 bushels an
acre, and the cost of growing them was
increased to % cents a bushel, leaving
a profit of but about $3.50 an acre. A
Syracuse capitalist has lately bought a
tract of 400 acres and is clearing up
the land. He will build five or six ten
ement houses and lease the land to
onion growers. There is vast tract of
muck land well adapted to this crop,
as it is among the most fertile and pro
ductive land in central New York. The
owner of thirty-two acre farm on the
edge of a swamp says his crop brought
him $1,000 cash last season. He had
seven or eight acres of onions on which
he grew $500 bushels, which Were
worth $500. He had two acres of
peas that he sold to the canning fac.
tory and then grew a second crop of
canning beets, for which he received
S1.25. He has $500 to $500 worth OF
sugar beets for the sugar factory be
sides a good crop of sweet corn, hay
and other products.

PERMANENT PASTURES.
How to Wake Them More Productive
ut Small Expense.

ut Small Expense.
There are many sections where such
a thing as a permanent pasture is not
known. The land all being alike sulta-
BILE for tillage, a rotation of crops IS
the usual practice perhaps of three or
five years, of which one year or two 1t
may be used for pasturage.
But here in New England, says
American Cultivator, we have much
land that is unsuited for any other
purpose than pasturing and often
scarcely fit for that. 1t may be that
the soil has washed from hillsides to
the lowlands until there is scarce
enough to furnish root hold to scanty
growth of grass and bushes, or 1t may
be so filed with stone below the sur
face as to resemble only poorly
cleaned street with an inch or TWO OF
soil on the surface and sort or Dro'
ken pavement under it.
The problem that often confronts the
farmer is how to make such lana tur'
nish summer feed for his stock with
out n greater expenditure for labor and
fertilizer than the food will be worth.
Many of these old pastures have for
years had their crops graZed Off ana
nothing returned but such grass and
roots as have decayed on the surface
or below it or the drOppings of the an
imals as they roamed over the field in
summer. They are not lacking SO
much in vegetable matter as in the
mineral elements of fertility. they
may have greater amount of root
growth than the crop upon them
would lead one to suspect-that is, they
are what is often called rootbound, and
this must be remedied in the first place
by breaking up these roots.
A good harrow run over these fields
will do this, the cutaway or disk har-
/ row being the best, but a sharp tooth
! ed and heavy spike harrow will do
very good work if it is run over it sew
eral times. Barely scratching the sur
| face is not enough, but it needs to be
| scarified as deep as it will allow, and
| if it is gone over five or six times the
last narrowing will be of more benefit
! than all that have been given before.
For the New England climate and
| soil we think the best time to do this
work is in the spring, while the ground
is vet soft from the spring thaw. Far
| Their south or on the clay soils of the
west it may be done in the fall, but
| in either case we 7 v7v-trtt1tft SOW upon 1t
clover seed in the spring using ten to
fifteen pounds of the small red clover
and about one-half that amount of the
white clover The coming in of other
grass we should trust to the seed al
ready in the soil of the grasses that
are already there, though certainly it
would do no harm to add blue grass
and red top seed if one feels warrant
ed to pay the expense.
We started to tell how permanent
pasture may be made more productive
at small expense, yet we think that the
Improvement would warrant an eX'
penditure for fertilizer to the extent
of 200 pounds of acid phosphate or OF
fine ground bonemeal and 100 pounds
of muriate of potash to the acre when
the seed was sown, and if the soil Is
very light this amount might be con
siderably increased, or doubled at least
to the advantage of the owner.

age of olein in the fat. If these grains
are used they must be fed judiciously
if first class pork is to be produced. If
fed in conjunction with sEimmilk, it
has been shown that a considerable
proportion of Indian corn may be used
in the grain ration without injuring
the quality of the pork.
That grain ration consisting of a
mixture of oats, peas and barley in
equal parts gives a firm pork of excel
lent quality.
That skimmilk not only tends to
thriftiness and rapid growth, but coun-
teracts in very marked manner any

SOFT PORK.
Indian Corn as a Cause-Skimmi1k
the Great COrrectOr.


the Great COrrectOr.
Many theories have been advanced
to account for softness in pork. Some
have ascribed it to the character Of the
food, others to undue forcing of the
pig in the earlier stages of growth, to
killing while still immature, to the
breed of the pig, to the locality in
which it is grown, and even the phase
of the moon when the pig is slaughter
ed has been assigned as a cause. F. L.
Shut of the central experimental
farm of Canada has made a study of
the character and causes of soft pork.
Mr. Shut finds that sOftness Slight re-
sistance to pressure) is nearly always
accompanied by oiliness, and he draws
the followinG.cOnclusion from series
of experiments in feeding:
That the one great controlling factor
in the quality of the pork of finished
pigs lies in the character Of the food
employed.
That Indian corn and beans tend tc

BREEDING UP ALFALFA.
Better Varieties to BE Obtained b
CaJaction and Other Means.

Better Varieties to BE Obtained by
Selection and other Means.
Most farmers and even alfalfa grow
ers. if asked whether there is more
than one kind of alfalfa, would say,
mo; it seems to be all alike" A Cali
fornia grower however. takes differ
ent view, believing that it is possible to
breed I'D a better variety. His theory,
expressed in Orange Judd Farmer, is:
Where there is a thick stand the
stalks are all forced upright and min
gle together, so that the characteris-
tics of each cannot be seen, but if you
will carefully examine field where the
plants are very thinly set and therefore
have an opportunity to show the dlt-
ferences in their nature by their style
of growth YOU will see that they are
very far from being all alike. Some VIII
be lying so fiat on the ground that 1t
would be impossible to cut them with a
mower, while others grow so upright
that they look as If they had been tied
to a stake. Then, again, the leaves on
some plants are small and narrow,
while those in others are large and
round, and since the leaves are the best
part of the plant this is of very great
Importance. If you will look at such
field a week or two after cutting, you
will see that some plants are only just
beginning to grow, while Others have
already attained height Of six or eight
inches.
In the blossoms similar variations oc-
cur. On some plants they are almost
white, while on others they are of
deep purple. Now, l contend that where
nature has already made so many vari-
atoms man, by careful selection ana
other means, may make even greater
and more important ones. This is
work which cannot be done by the
farmer, as he has neither the time, skill
nor the appliances to accomplish it, but
the experiment stations have all the IA
cilities, and l hope it will not be long
before some station will take hold of
the matter and succeed in giving us a
better variety of alfalfa than we are at
present cultivating. If only 100 or 200
pounds of hay per acre at each cutting
could be added to the crop by such I'M
provement, it would add millions of dol
lars annually to the income of alfalfa
growers.
