Sowing Alfalfa, Oats and Grass.
Methods and Quantity of Seed.

Sowing Alfalfa, Oats and Grass.
Methods and Quantity of Seed.
We have inquiry this week from
correspondent asking for the quantity
of seed (oats) to be sown to the acre.
Taking things as they are. we must
SOW what we find under average condi-
tons to be best adapted to use. Seven
ty-five pounds to the acre is q very
good rule In actual practice there is
not great variation in some years be-
tween one and a half and two and
half bushels sown, but on the whole
from two to two and a half bushels is
the proper amount, taking seasons as
they average as well as methods OF
sowing. If one could foresee the eli
matte conditions of a coming season, it
would enable him to determine the
amount of seed much more accurately.
In preparation of soil for new stands
of alfalfa, many of which are to be
sown this spring, it is not at all neces
sary to pillow the soil any deeper than
for grain, from three to six inches, out
the surface must be pulverized as fine
as garden put in splendid condition.
Then sow twenty pounds to the acre
or one bushel to three acres if the seed
is good and thicker If not. In broad
casting after the seed is sown the sur
face should have a light narrowing or
brushing in. The first year the crop
will net amount to much, and the
weeds should be kept down by moving
with mower as often as necessary,
leaving as high stubble as the ma
chine will cut.
Everybody who has hay vega would
like to know how to improve the stand
of grass, and now is the time to pre-
pare for doing it. In the renewal of
timothy, bluejoint or bromus meadows
not inclined to alkali it would probably
pay to break the surface thoroughly
and roll it with a corrugator. A blue
joint sod turned under in nice condi-
ion will send up an excellent crop from
the roots if well irrigated. 1t is diff
cult to kill out this grass 1t will grow
if given half a show and the second
| year after breaking will yield a fine
| crop. Sometimes it is little difficult
| to manage the sod and put it in proper
| condition. but we believe that break.
ing is good remedy to apply to q
| bluejoint meadow that has run down in
| yield. CrOsscutting with a harrow
will improve the stand very materially
without losing one seasons crop as
would be the case when the sod i:
turned under. Alfalfa fields are Otter
thickened up by the same treatment
but in doing this care must be taker
not to split the crowns. which nigh
induce hollow heart and other diseases.

POWER ON THE FARM.

Experience with the Gasoline En-
gine-SOme of Its Good Points.
All things considered, the gasoline
engine is the cheapest and most salts
factory power we have ever had any
thing to do with, says an American
Cultivator correspondent. Six years
ago we purchased a six horse gasoline
engine to run our fodder huSker and
shredder, q bone grinder, feed mill and
cutting box. 1t has given perfect sat
isfaction in every way, In the first
place, it is not so dangerous as the
steam engine. There is no liability Of
explosion or fire. With the steam en-
CINE it was always considerable trou-
BILE to move it out of the barn and in
place to be operated, and then we were
always in fear when there was any
wind that a spark might set the Barn
on fire. Then water had to be hauled
and the boiler filled, and in winter time
it all had to be emptied out to keep
boiler and pipes from bursting. Wood
had to be prepared or coal bought, and
while in operation it required one man,
and he somewhat of an expert, to op-
crate the same.
With the gasoline engine no expert or
even a hand is required to run it. 1t
may be kept, as we do ours, in the barn
all the while, and there is no danger
whatever of fire. The gasoline is cheap
er fuel than wood or coal necessary to
operate steam engine No prepare
| TORS are necessary to start up your
machinery. AT any time you can have
| your engine running at full speed two
or three minutes after you enter the
barn. When you stop, you are at no
trouble or expense.
The greatest advantage in having q
gasoline engine is that it enables the
farmer to do his husking and grinding
without having to hire any other than
the regular farm hands. If we are
husking and shredding fodder, we send
two hands to the field to load a couple
of wagons; these are brought to the
barn, the engine is started and these
loads are run through. Then we shut
down while the wagons are being load
ed again, and all this stopping and
starting do not incur any additional
expense. The gasoline engine is serv'
iceable machine as well. In operating
ours now for six years it has never cost
us cent for repairs.

sprouted Tobacco Seed.

The utmost care is required directly
after the sowing of the sprouted tobac-
CO seed. The sprouted seed is one of
the most tender germs in existence.
Not for some days should the freshly
sprouted seed be allowed to have full
sunlight under the glass. Growers
should remember that frost does not
kill tobacco seed, while a few rays of
hot sunshine will surely do so.-New

Rape For EARLY Spring Feed.

Each seasons results at the Oklaho-
ma experiment station give further ev-
idence of the value of the rape plant
as source of green feed in this coun-
try. Not only has it proved a most de-
sirable spring and fall pasture crop
but a crop that will furnish a large
quantity of green feed during such a
droughty summer as that of 1901. The
plant lived through the wild winter of
190001, but the zero weather of the
past winter killed all the plants.
The rape plant will be one of the
first plants available for feed in the
spring, and a large area should be put
out, as feed is scarce and high priced.
The value of the plant lies in the fact
that it will furnish large amount of
green feed in a short period from til
time of planting. The plant resembles
the cabbage in texture and color, but
the growth is erect and two or three
feet tall. Good rich soil is necessary
for large growth and should be put
in fine filth before seeding.
The plant is proof against frost and
may be seeded the last of February or
early March in Oklahoma. Broadcast
ing will do for temporary patches, but
if the crop is wanted to last through
the summer it should be in drills and
cultivated. Do not pasture too close
if continuous growth is desired. For
brOadcasting use three or four pounds
per acre. In drills one to one and a
half pounds will be required.
Professor Thomas Show says that
ten sheep may be fattened on one acre
of rape in Minnesota. Twenty-three
tons of green feed per acre have beer
taken off at the first cutting at this

Fifty Fowls Enough For the Farm


On nearly all farms, except where
special attention is given to poultry
culture, would say keep fifty fowls
of one variety and no more. See that
these are good ones and try each year
to improve on them by bringing in
some fresh blood from a good strain
and by keeping over only the best Of
what you have raised yourself. After
following this plan for a few days l
am sure you will not return to the old
way of overstocking the place with
scrub fowls. See to it that the poultry
house is kept clean. the hens fed regu-
larly and as far as possible all the
waste of the family table, the dairy
and the field is turned into eggs and
meat.-Cor. Poultry Monthly.

Beans For the Denver Market.

The Denver market is taking more
summer beans than formerly, and it is
now in season to begin thinking about
the best varieties to plant. In green
beans we would remind growers that
the trade wants a strictly round podded
bean. We find the stringless green pod
the best because it is very early, bears
a long time, stands shipment and
brings top prices, says Field and Farm.

United States the produce of Canada

the Canadian Northwest, which will
proceed with marvellous rapidity, a
change in the American policy toward
this country must be made. If Amer
lean trade with Canada is to increase
the American government must per-
nit Canada to sell something to the
American people in payment Of pur-
chases. What is wanted is reciprocal
free trade in all natural products.
Nothing short of this will put the trade
relations of the two countries upon
satisfactory and enduring basis. The
United States wants Canadian lum-
Der, barley, pulp wood, saw logs, farm
products, ore, nickel matte, and many
other articles. The Canadian wants
to exchange these articles for his pur-
chases, and if reciprocity in natural
products is permitted, the interchange
Of farm products between the two
countries would hardly leave a balance
against the United States, as Canada
now imports three times more from
the United States than she exports to
that country and the Canadian peo-
pie would be, through increased pros
perity resulting from increased mark
cts in the United States, enabled to
purchase from that country largely in
excess of their present transactions.

products into the United States free
of duty would not produce any appre-
ciable effect upon prices there, because

for corn and wheat, and the cost Of
raising these crops to the farmer was
more than was received for them. Sug
ar, at this time in Cuba, is being raised
at aCloss, because of the failure of the
United States congress to enact reci-

The humorous philosopher, Mr.. Dool-
ey, sometimes gives his views on things
which are in the public mind. A few
months ago he wrote these apt words:
Hunger is the same in republic as in
a despotism." The moral was, that
the masses of the people in Cuba were
not much better off under the republic
than under the Spanish rule, If they
could not get enough to eat. The Gu
bans underwent starvation in order
that they might have their republic.
A few months ago it was the fear of
many friends of the Cuban govern
ment, that with so many plantation
