ALFALFA OR LUCERNE.
Gerald Mccarthy, NJ. s., Says 1t Gives
Yield Surprising Any Other
Hay Crop.

Alfalfa Medicago Sativa is one of
TIE oldest cultivated crops. 1t has
been cultivated for 25 centuries. Its
native home is supposed to be that of
the primitive Aryan stock from which
all the European nations are de-
scended Mr.. Gerald Mccarthy, NJ. S.,
says that alfalfa is very long-lived
perennial plant of the pulse or
leguminous family. 1t roots very
deeply going from G. to so feet deep,
and as consequence is practically
drought proof when once well estab-
Hshed. 1t requires rather dry soil,
rich in lime. The plant is tender and
feeble when young and requires
mellow surface free from weeds with
plenty of soluble plant food at hand.
On worn lands this crop usually fails
to catch unless the soil has been
given a good dose of stable manure
or bone meal just previous to sowing
the seed. Once started a sowing
lasts from 10 to 80 years. The dry
valley and mountain lands of the
Rocky mountains seem to be the
home of this plant in America. 1t
also succeeds well on the Pacific
slope and in the Mississippi valley.
1t does well on the lighter soils of the
Atlantic coast and gulf states, but
requires great care to get it started.
1t is usually sown broadcast in early
fall using about 20 pounds of seed
per acre. No nurse crop is desirable.
When well cared for the yield of this
crop is enormous, exceeding any
other hay crop.
In New Jersey four cuttings per
year are obtained; in the gulf region
eight cuttings are the rule. The
yield is one and half to two tons OF
air dry hay per cutting giving total
yield for the year of to 16 tons per
acre.
One ton of this hay contains the
following amounts of plant food:
Nitrogen ......:. .:......................4 43.S lbs.
Phosphoric acid d...................d 10 10 2 ibs.
AS with all other legumines the
nitrogen comes from the air. The
potash and phosphoric acid come
from the soil and to keep up the
yield an annual dressing of these
substances equivalent to that which
has been carried off in the hay must
be given. Taking the average yield
at six tons per acre we. obtain:
Nitrogen, 262.S lbs. worth $5i %
Phosphoric acid, 81 8 worth 2.4I
Potash 20l.6 lbs. worth sos
Total fertiiZing value.................si2 si2 O6
To replace the above amounts of
potash will require 403 pounds of
murate of potash. To replace the
phosphoric acid requires 425 pounds
of superphosphate. But where the
growing season is long and the tenn
perature favorable the yield may be
larger and the fertilizer must be in
creased proportionately A good
normal fertilizer for alfalfa is as fol-
lows:
Muriate of potash. ............ 500 to 1000 lbs
Superphosphate ............. 500 to 900 lbs.
Lime ooO 10 4'Voo los.

TO HAPPINESS.

1t amt SO far to happiness-it's lyin' all
around;
1t twinkles in the dewdrops, brings
blooms to barrap ground.
1t sings il all the breezes; it ripples in
the ri.IS;
It's written on green banners that wave
from all the hills.
1t amt so far to happiness we rob our
lives of rest
To find it DER broad oceans as far as east
form west;
From all the dear home places in sorrow
we depart,
And dream not that its dwelling place is
ever In the heart
1t amt so far to happiness; it's shining
all along;
ITS in the lowliest violet, it's in the
thrush's song,
And hold it-ye that find it, forever to
breast
Till you sleep and dream forever in the
roses of God $ rest.

COVER FOR MILKING PAIL.

the conditions are simply disgusting,
while one can rarely find a stable
where a thoroughly painstaking effort
is made to keep every particle of for
eign matter and every foul odor out Of
the milk. Even under the very best
conditions as regards cleanliness it is
utterly impossible to keep all impuri-
ties out of the milk if the latter is
drawn from the COW into an open pail,
for hairs and some dust particles will
be loosened from the COW by the action
of the hands in milking. However,
with a pail like that shown in the cut
and two thicknesses of cotton cloth,
or, better still, a layer of surgeons
absorbent cotton, laid between two
sheets of cheesecloth and caught to-
gether here and there with thread and
needle, almost absolute cleanliness
can be secured. A large sheet of such
a strainer can be made at once, and
circles cut from it for each milking.
The cotton mentioned is absolutely
pure, and is of a nature to check the
passage of any impurities. BY the use
of such a device the milk and cream
will not only be practically pure, if all
other precautions are taken to keep it
so, but it will keep much longer than
milk and cream secured under the or
dinary conditions-a very decided ad-
vantage, if one ships his cream away
or has a milk or cream route, for there
is, perhaps, no more common COM
plant from customers op \ milk route
than that the milk or cream does not
keep from one day to the neXt.-N. Y.

SCIENCE IN MILKING.
Good Cows Are Frequently Ruined
by Men Who Do Not Know How
to Handle Them

Milking is an operation which re-
quires skill, as it has an important
effect on the amount and quality of
milk given. Dairymen know that
there are as great differences between
mixers as between cows and that
cows will do much better with good
mixers than with others. Indeed
good cows are often almost ruined
by poor mixers.
The mixer should avoid handling
the cow more than is necessary, and
he should make it a rule to do his
work quickly and thoroughly. He
should never go from a sick to we'll
COW without first cleansing his hands.
The habit of wetting the hands with
milk is filthy in the extreme and
should never be practiced. Some peo-
pie think it is necessary, but this is a
mistake. The hands should be kept
dry. If they are not, it is impossible
to prevent drops of milk from con-
stantly falling from them into the
pail.
The pail should be held close to the
udder, so as to expose the milk to
the air as little as possible. The
further the streams fall and the more
they spray, the more dirt and bac-
terra they collect. Contamination
from the foremilk must be avoided by
discarding the first few streams
drawn, or less than gill in all. This
entails little loss, as the first milk
drawn is always poor in butter fat,
and if it happens to be badly con-
taminated, as is frequently the case,
much injury and trouble may be
saved.-Farm, Field and Stockman.

MILK STOOL AND PAIL.

All pieces are about eight inches wide.
1t is a pleasure to use this stool. One
can sit comfortably without bracing.
No need of hugging the pail; simply
let it rest between the knees. The
pail should be tilted slightly, and, thus
arranged, a good, rapid milker will
spatter very little milk. This stool
keeps the pail off the floor and thus
keeps it clean. We prefer a heavy tin
pail, slightly fiaring and of good depth.
A f1ange at the bottom is protection
and strengthens the pail.

and Macpherson drew his chair
nearer and lowered his voice in def
erence to the Dionysian-ear quail
ties of the loosely built house.
"You know his attitude toward

far enough to make a family row,

stands up for him; but Jake knows,
and loads his rife accordingly"
"There'll be murder" ] ventured.
"I'm afraid of it. And at this time
1T would be most confoundedly in
opportune. The news of the fight
with the land company has gone
abroad in the county and the state,
and public sentiment is with the set
tiers. But if one of them should for
get himself and happen to kill the
land company's chief engineer-well
you see what would happen; public
sentiment would take the other side
in the turning of leaf"
"Assuredly. Can't you bring the
girl TO her senses?"
Macpherson grinned. GIVE already

"No."
"And, besides, I have funeral of

Silence, for the space of full min

"Not a syllable. I've been respect

is to it. But I've seen and heard
enough to make me feel murderous;

81 don't know; but I'm beginning
TO suspect that Nan does. If-if it's
anything anything bad"-the words
came hard-"it would be like the
fiend to boast of it to another
woman"
'FYou mustn't jump at conclusions,
else it will be your itching trigger

you think Nan knows?'
''I can't tell; it's in the air. I've

Shoultl nave
it unquestioningly. But it is not so
easy to disappear when one is far
from the highways of travel; and
there was second thought potent
enough to make me stay-and suffer.
Put together all the little odds and
ends | have written about Mr.. Mac
pherson (but you have doubtless
done this long ago) and draw your
own conclusion. There is fuel enough,
God knows, to keep the shame-fire
burning all through my miserable
life, but this is not of 1t. Having
said so much, you will understand
what follows, reading between the
lines if you care to.
Our first meeting-the only one in
which he has had the hardihood to
speak to me-was one evening when
| was walking home from the school
house with Mr., Macpherson. He was
riding past and he recognized me,
wheeling his horse to fling himself
from the saddle and to add another
insult to all that has gone before. Mr..
Macpherson resented it promptly,
like a man and a gentleman, and he
he struck himi After that, knew
l had to stay; that oth.rwise there
would be more misery and perhaps
bloodshed; and however rich his de-
servings, God would require his life
at my hands.
So | have stayed and suffered not
knowing what a day might bring
forth and drinking the cup of terror
to the dregs. Thus far, Mr.. Macpher-
son has amply justified all my be-
lievings of him. His quarrel with the
land company is quite as bitter as
that of the settlers-the plans of the
company, if carried out, will practic-
ally dispossess him-but he will not
make it a personal matter with the
engineer-for my sake, if for no bet
ter reason. So long as he does not
know the shameful facts, | tell my
self there is reason to take courage;
but if he should find out-oh, Pris-
sic! living as you do in the peaceful
quiet of the old New England home
you can't understand. But the men of
these wildernesses, men reared in
homes just like yours, perhaps, be-
come terribly swift to right their
wrongs with the strong hand.
You will say that, so long as /
keep my secret, exposure can come
only through the man who will stand
a self-confessed villain in the telling;
and this is true. But the dastardly
hardihood of this man is past belief
and | have begun to fear that the
worst is yet to come. You will re-
call my frequent mention of Jacob
Settlers daughter. From what | have
seen, there is reason to fear that
she is in danger of becoming his
latest victim. They are together a
great deal, and Mans dislike for me
is growing day by day. What he has
told her, | can only surmise; but her
attitude toward me has lately
, changed from frank aversion to
something like contempt Mercifui
heaven! If he should boast to her,
and it should come to Mr.. Macpher-
pate.
Write me a good long letter, Pris-
sic, dear, and try to comfort me if
you can. Lovingly,
WINIFRED.

Kew scissors Are made.

Now O0lOoO1o Are Made.
Though nd, complexities are involved
IN the making Of scissors or much skill
required. yet the process Of manufae-
tnre ID very interesting. They are
forged from good bar steel heated to
redness, each blade being cut off with
sufficient metal to form the shank, or
that destined to become the cutting
part, and bow, or that which later on
Is fashioned into the holding portion.
For the bow small hole is punched,
and this Is afterward expanded to the
required size by hammering it on a
conical anvil, after which both shank
and bow are fled into more perfect
shape and the hole bored in the middle
for the rivet. The blades are next
ground and the handles fled smooth
and FURNISHED with oil and emery,
after which the pairs are fitted to-
gether and tested as to their easy
working.
They are not yet finished, however;
they have to undergo hardening and
tempering and be again adjusted, after
which they are finally put together
again and polished for the third time.
In comparing the edges Of knives and
scissors it will be noticed, Of course,
that the latter are not in any way so
sharply ground as the former, and that
In cutting scissors crush and bruise
more than knives.

The Lightninglike Loon.

The loon is the quickest living crea-
ture. A loon that has had experience
can dodge the fash Of a gun. You see
a loon on lake, but long before you
see him he sees you and has taken a
mental inventory of you and your be-
longings. If you have no gun, you may
perhaps approach within 100 yards be-
fore he laughs at you with that horrid
Shrek which gives him his name and
disappears under the water, but show
q gun and he does not stop to laugh
he goes instanter. When in a sportive
mood, he sometimes waits until he
sees you about ready to fire, when, at
the flash, he dives, and you see the
shot spatter the water where he has
just gone down.
