ALFALFA TO MAKE HAY
 MOST LUXURIOUS OF GRASSES
The Grass for Alabama Farmers That Can Be Cut from Four to Seven Times Year.
 Demonstration of Practicability.

Station in connection with the Agricul- hurn:
 But very different condition prevails over large areas of the South as regards the supply of germs able to produce tu- bercles on clover, alfalfa or vetch. Take Vetch. for example. In Alabama there are comparatively few fields of either all these fields were abundantly stocked with tubercles and vetch bacteria, there could be no general and adequate dis tribution of the germs
 Absence of 'vetch germs in many of Alabama soils.-As a matter of fact the writer has found, in examination of vetch plants from dozens of localities In Ala bana, that when first grown, vetch fails to produce tubercles. or else has so few tubercles that they are inadequate for soil improvement Hence we infer the absence or inadequate supply of vetch germs from the majority of soils of the extreme South.
 This fact has a very practical bear ing. For a vetch or other. leguminous plant without tubercles is cut off from the store of atmospheric nitrogen, can- not improve the soil, and cannot make luxuriant growth except on rich land or by the use of high priced nitrogenous fertilizers. Moreover. the absence of tu- bercles lowers the quality of the forage, decreasing the valuable nitrogenous food materials. as well as greatly diminishing the yield. (See Ala Exp. Sta. Bul. Nc. 96. D. 206.)
 "Leg,minous plants have no proper placL on the farm unless their roots are well supplied with tubercles. Yet such rarely grown legumes as vetch, clover and alfalfa on many southern soils fail to form tubercles the first year. It Is the farmers business to make them form tubercles. He can do tf.is by supplying to his field where he wishes to SOW clover. alfalfa, or vetch, the appropri- ate germ. This process of supplying the requisite germ Is called inoculation.
 "Inoculntion by use of suitable earth. For instance. the farmer wishing to g;tw vetch. should. if patch of hairy vetch or Of common vetch growing wild is to be had in his vicinity, examine these vetcin plants. If they have tuberclss. he should. obtain some of the soil from the upper three inches of this old vetch field. taking the soil from near the roots of the old vetch plants or from spots where there was a thick stand of vetch.
 However. as not many will be able to find a vetch- feld from which to get sell substitute can be had in the soil from z portion of he garden where Eng iish peas grew last season, and where they, developed an abundant. growth of

Marriage as a Sacrament.

Lillian Whiting touches the marriage question of the hour with no uncer lin note when in 'The World Beautiful In Books" she says:
 Nov. If marriage were a matter of gain or loss in the outwerd world Of af- fairs this might be set down as a inc bit of self sacrifice and delicate gener- osity. Rut marriage Is sacrament or 1t is nothing and it Is only a sacrament when mutual love. that asks notht1s that this world could either give or take away consecrates it and makes it holy. As mere legal contract it is no more sacred than any other legal contract, and the marriage devoid of that mutual trust and tenderness and spi,ltual response that would enable the two to take ''0 their life together on e barren island tn mid ocean and cal tt ali ioy. that is wholly indenendPnt of the fhings of tNis world because it is of the divine realm end eX- ists in another atmos sphere than that of trade or traffic or society-the marriage not based on this feeling is not a sacra- ment nor can church or state make tt cO

As soon as the alfalfa Is from twelve 70 sixteen inches high the first crop can De moved, and from that time il can be cut as often as 1t grows high enough. It IS very important that the plants get 8 good footing and develop good root sys- tems the first season. Alfalfa, when ful- lv established, yields as much as six. eight, ten. twelve and sometimes sixteen tons or dry hay per acre per annum A dressing of commercial fertilizers, com post or cottonsseed moal will increase the yield of hay and green forage. Barnyard manure may be applied In the second au- cause there will then be less danger of the alfalfa being choked out by weeds. It Is better to apply this dressing in autumn or early winter than In the spring. on account of the weeds. The av- craze life of alfalfa in the South has not been definitely determined. The meadow. however, will last just as long as the field can be kept clean. With good care the yield ought to be at least a ton per acre at each cutting. and four to eight
 Alfalfa hay.EThere Is no better hay plant than alfalfa. The making of hay requires considerable skill on account of the nature of the plant: If the hay is stems are cured 1t is liable to heat and mold. and if 1t is allowed to lie on the ground too long before stacking the leaves get dry and brittle and will drop o"t anu large snare or the most val uable part of the forage will be lost. To make the best hay the field should be cut just when the first flowers commence to appear.
 The art of making good alfalfa hay de- pends upon putting 1t in stack when 1t IS Just sufficiently cured to keep without neatmg, and is yet green enough to hold the leaves. This happy mean can be ac- Qrired only as the result of practice. The curing process may be materially hasten ed if tedder Is used before inc hav ts raked. especially If the growth Is a very rank one. The value of the hay will de- pend upon it's being veil cured before the leaves have commenced to drop of.
 Feeding value.--Alfalfa hay can be fed prontably to all kinds of farm stock. It IS especially. valuable for young and It may be fed to working horses win the addition of a small grain ration, and they will keep in good condition upon it.
 Ied Tn combination with prairic hay, wheat straw silage. or corn fodder. it makes very nutritious forage.

tubercles.
 Having the soil from the old vetch Held or garden spot, proceed as follows: If the supply of inoculating soil is Hmited In proportion to the area to be sown with veIch. place the soil in a bucket, tub or tight barrel and add such an amount of water as will thoroughly saturate the soil and in addition will leave' after the settling of the soil, sufii- cient water to wet the amount of vetch seed to be sown,, After adding the wa ter. stir soil and water together very thoroughly. Then allow settling to occur and pour off the water on the vetch seed, stirring the seed to make sure that ev- cry seed becomes wet. Sow the seed promptly after this treatment. avoiding as far as practicable exposure to light. Cover the seed promptly.
 "A more thorough inoculation can be secured, when there is available sutfiCie mt inoculating soil, by proceeding as above, and in addition sowing broadcast one or two tons per acre of the unmoistened inoculating soil narrowing 1t In promptly and repeatedly. so as to thoroughly dis tribute the inoculating earth through the soil.'
 How to Cultivate. A bulletin from the United States De- partment of Agriculture gives this most valuable information in regard to this grass:
 Alfalfa, or lucern (Medicago sativa. l.
 
 forage plant for more than twenty cen turtles. It is a native of the valleys of the central district of Western Asia. 1t was carried from Spain into Mexico at the time of the Spanish invasion, and thence to the west coast of South Amer ica- It was brought from Chile to Cali fornta in lS54 and from there 1t rapidly spread over the arid regions of the Pa cine coast and Rocky Mountains, where 1t Is now cultivated almost to the exclu- sion of other forage plants.
 Soils and conditions of growth.-Alfalfa feeds most heavily on lime, potash, magnesium. and phosphoric acid. Lime seems to be the most essential to rapid growth, and there will not be a large or paying crop on soils lacking this ferti- llzer. The prime condition for success is that the land be well drained. If the subsoil is heavy and stiff and impervious to water, alfalfa will not be a permanent success. no matter how well the surface soil has been prepared.
 Sowing the seed.-tarmers who have been successful with this crop agree, in the main. that the best stand and best yield follow an autumn sowing The Southern farmer must fight continuously against the many weedy grasses that spring up in his fields and cnoke out the young cultivated plants if allowed to gain the upper hand. If an attempt is made ~ establish u neld pr alfalfa uy sowing the seed broadcast in spring, crab grass and foxtail are on hand to choke ouI the seedlings before they can be fairly start ed, and 1t is only in exceptionally favor able years that a good stand can be ob- tained in this way. September and Feb ruary are the two months which have been found best for the sowing of alfalfa. The seed should be drilled at the rate of twenty to twenty-five pounds per acre. The stand must be thick enough to enable the croD to hold its own against the weeds and weedy grasses which would otherwise take possession of the field.
