HOW TO PURIFY WATER
The Ozone Process Witnessed by Fifty
City Officials at Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Professor Otto
of France made a successful demon
stration Of the ozone process of purify
ing water 1t was witnessed by so
officials of this city and LOckpOrt. An
electric current of so 900 volts was
sent through a cylinder ozonizer
through which air passed. and as the
air met the electrical discharges the
oxygen was burned, creating ozone.
This ozone was carried to the steril-
izing tower by two pipes The unDuri
fed water entered the tower at the
top. and there, in spray form, first met
the ozone. AS it flowed downward
through fine granite it again met the
ozone, completing the process. The
water product was clear as crystal. II
is stated that from 80 to 40 electrical
horse power will treat 5000 tons Of
water a day. Later Professor Otto
will demonstrate the process before
the leading scientists of the country.

PREPARATION OF LANDS.
First, good bottom land is best,
but it will grow all right on upland
hat has plenty of humus to start
it. All land must be well drained,
and not over1owed more than twenty
hours at a time. Sow heavy crop of
COW peas, pillow under with disk pillow
deep as possible, then if no lime in
soil, best SOW twenty to thirty bush
els per acre, as it sweetens the green
stuff. Thoroughly harrow, making
as fine filth as a garden bed. Sow
broadcast twenty pounds of selected
seed per acre; ~recleaned if any signs
of dodder or other foul seed in it.
Drag in with light harrow, or if you
have a grass drill, that is the best
tool to put it in with. But you can
roll the ground and it makes it in
pretty good shape. Some favor
drilling, but I know too well the
frailty of mankind, and unless kept
constantly cultivated, will be more
weeds and less hay, and not so con-
venient to cut with mower or handle
with rakes or tedder. See that there
is plenty of phosphoric acid in the
soil. Alfalfa draws largely from
that great reservoir of fertilizers;
the air, with its little nodules at the
root, feeds itself and the earth. Best

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
Alfalfa is now variously Known

Alfalfa is now variously known
as l%ucerne, Spanish trefoil, Chilean
clover. Brazilian clover, French clio
YER, media, purple media, botanical
name) "medicago saliva" Some of
these names will be seen to indicate
their early Spanish origin on the
South American continent, whilst it
has long been used in France, and in
an early day was the principal forage
throughout all Media. Alfalfa is,
however, the name now universally
adapted. 1t is the queen of all for
age plants for the United States, un-
less it is New England. Never hav-
ing been there I know nothing of it
there, but believe it too cold. Corn
is king of our cereals and is a won
derful grass plant, but / believe for
forage alone, alfalfa is far superior,
and In many cases answers for grain
also. A ton of alfalfa hay cut with
no woody fiber, mostly leaves, has
more digestible protein, the most i'm
portant element in feeding, than a
ton of bran, which all dairymen say
is the best known feed to keep up the
milk supply. Wheat bran has 14.O3
protein, but alfalfa hay has 14.75
protein. So you see we can raise
protein cheaper than you can
bring it from the West, and that is
what we are all hunting for as the
important factor in all our feeds.
The carbohydrates and fats will al
ways be present in sufficient quanti-
ty, but most feeds lack this great
factor in COW feeding. 1t will make,
properly put in, on our best bottom
lands from five to ten tons per acre
of the best hay in the world, each
year, and with a little care lasts sew
: eral generations. Can be used for
pasture as we'll, if wanted, or finally

BREEDS NEEDED, AND HOW TO
FEED
The formula for this proposition
is: First, good beef breed of cattle,
and good hogs. Second, properly
prepared pasture and meadow, with
the winter manur hauled out and
spread properly. Third, good care,
i. e., a comfortable barn to carry the
cows, calves and pigs through the bad
wet days of winter Eve don't have to
feed climates as they do in the
North), good feed lots, boxes and
racks for them to feed in and On. l
would divide my meadow and pas
lures into three lots each, so as to
have a change of hay and pasture,
Commence soiling my beef steers by
middle of May, ten to fifteen pounds
of alfalfa per day, in Bermuda pas
ture, put the pigs to following and
have them ready for market by the
middle of November. This means
that you would use one-half or two
thirds of your alfalfa as grazing and
soiling crop, balance of it as hay.
Cut Just as the first blossoms appear,
or when plants get fifteen to six
teen inches high. In winter should
be chopped fine for cattle and hogs;
will keep all in fine condition all
winter. Possibly you may smile at
hogs eating hay, but it has been fed
for years, and the hogs fatten there
on and never a pound of grain, for it
is a balanced ration. I note in a
recent issue of Hoard's Dairyman,
July 10th, several articles showing
the use of alfalfa hay, and as grass
for hogs. and the fine results there
from. At present prices of hay and
grain as compared to timothy, it is
four times as valuable; corn fodder
five times; red clover hay two times,
and wheat straw fifteen times as
valuable. I am not saying but what
you can feed corn with alfalfa to adj
vantage, as a strictly fattening
proposition it is better to feed she'll
ed corn and alfalfa. Geo. M. Hof-
man, of Little River, Kansas, recent
| ly made a gain of five pounds per day
for fo~rty-seven days, and makes for
the season a gain of three pounds per
day, by feeding what they will each
eat up clean. A word of caution: all
ruminants cattle, sheep and goats
are liable to bloat on green alfalfa
hence commence pasturing or %soiling
very lightly and gradually increase
until ON full feed; do not turn on
pasture when wet. (Ten acres OF
more of alfalfa will allow you to
carry your yearlings to two years and
speed your working stock.)
NOTE THE WELL BALANCED RATION
Professor Wolfe, the great Ger.
man scientist, gives us a balanced "a,
ton, and our own Professor Henry
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-12-22

Corn fodder 80. &. 4O.O %
These are the principal forage and
hays of the South. Of course, alfalfa
and the corn plant grows in both
sections, but otherwise the above are
peculiar to the South. Also note
that we have cottonseed meal and
hulls; feed three pounds of cotton
seed meal to twenty pounds of hulls
makes nearly a balanced ration, but
the above feeds are far superior and
should be used to get results and
best quality of butter.
WHERE THE SOUTH HAS THE
ADVANTAGE
Hence you see our best grasses
average fifty per cent more valuable
for milk than those Of the North,
taking the saving in winter we are
fully 200 per cent better off than
our Northern dairy people on the
question of feeding. We can so
easily make up a balanced ration,
and a cow giving five to six pounds
of butter per week on an ordinary
ration will give twelve to fourteen
on a balanced one. Also whilst our
cottonseed meal is fed to excess, as
so many do feed, will never allow our
butter to get into the New York mar
ket, on account of the taste of cot
tonseed meal. Yet, it is satisfactory
for our home markets, and properly
packed and shipped to Cuba and
South American countries finds a
far better market, and an unlimited
demand certainly will take all the
xcess butter we ever produce. At
lanta alone brings in from the West
annually 100000 pounds for her con-
sumption and probably sells as much
more oleomargarine under the brand
of some of our best diaries; at least,
that is what has been done for the
past five years.
But hope our metropolis is doing
better now. With this short digres-
sion on other feeds, note a few more
items on alfalfa. / see a recent cor
