Alfalfa In New Jersey.

According to Professor Worries OF
New Jersey. the successful establish
ment of alfalfa requires
First, that the surface soil shall be
well supplied with the mineral ele.
ments, lime phosphoric acid and pot
ash: second, that during the early
growth of the crop the weeds should
be frequently cut; third, that the crops
should be harvested preferably just be
fore the plants are in blossom
The crop is well adapted for soilng
and for hay. The average yield Of
green forage per acre for three years,
including the first year, was 1927 tons,
equivalent to 457 tons of hay. The
yield the third year from five cuttings
was 26.6 tons of green forage, equiva-
lent to 665 tons Of hay costing $500
per ton.
A feeding experiment showed that
the protein in alfalfa hay could be sue
cessfully and pro6tably substituted in
a ration for dairy cows for that con-
tanned in wheat bran and dried brew
ers' grains and for this purpose is
worth $1116 per ton when compared
with the wheat bran and dried brewers
grain at SIT per ton.
The use of alfalfa hay reduces the ne
cessity for the purchase of protein
feeds.

The Action Of IA Spinet.

The spinet instrument was an i'm.
provement upon what was known as
the clavichord, the tone of which. al
though weak. was capable, unlike that
of the harpsichord or spinet, of in
crease or decrease, rejecting the finest
gradations of the touch of the player.
In this power of expression 1t was
without a rival until the piano was in
vented. The early history of the claw
chord previous TO the fifteenth century
rests in profound obscurity. but it is
said that there is one bearing the date
1920 having four octaves without the
d sharp and G sharp notes. The spinet
was the invention of the Venetian Spi
META.
The action Is unique The instrument
is similar to a small harpsichord, with
one string TO each note. The strings are
set in vibration by points of quilts ele-
waited on wooden uprights known as
jacks. and the depression of the keys
causes the points to pass upward, pro-
ducing a tone similar to that of harp.
Springs are used TO draw the quilts
back into position. The keyboard is ar
ranged in a manner after the present
modern piano.
