son clover and hairy vetch, as advised
in I'll August issue. The more land
that al be put into these crops the
greater the area that will be i'm
proved for other crops next year,
Seed always with a mixture of wheat
oats or rye, and more or less pasture
will be secured in winter and spring,
besides the improvement of the land.
An abundance of these crops to
Craze or cut in the spring will help
materially in reducing the cost of
carrying stock at a time when dry
feed often becomes scarce.
Rape may yet be seeded for fall
and spring feeding. Sow 3 or 4
pounds of seed per acre broadcast,
or 2 to 3 pounds in drills two feet
apart. This makes an excellent pas
ture for hogs, sheep and young cat
tie. It should be allowed to grow up
a foot high before turning stock on
to it, and not be grazed too closely,
and will. then start out again and
make good grazing in the spring.
Turnips may still be sowed, though
It is getting too late for them now
to make a heavy crop. They will,
however, make some feed, and will
cover the land. In our August issue
will be found full instruction on this
crop.
The work of harvesting and saving
the various forage crops should re-
ceive attention as they mature. Do
not allow them to stand too long and
mature their seed. They make the
best feed when cut in bloom or when
the seed is just forming. Cow peas
should be cut when the first pods are
filed and turning yellow. Of course,
if seed is the object, and not long
feed, then they must stand until 1t
is sufficiently matured to cure with
out s~hrivelling. In our August issue
we wrote fully on this subject.
The work of filing the silo should
be attended to. As soon as the ears
are we'll filed and passing out OF
the milk state the crop should be cut
and packed away. Cut into 38-lnch
lengths, or, better still, shred the
stalks and much waste will be saved,
When filing do not be in too great
a hurry. Cut during the morning
and fill into the silo in the afternoon
or cut one day and fill the next. IhlS
allows the silage to compact better
and get up the necessary heat to en-
sure good, sweet silage. The sllo Will

Alfalfa Growing.
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:

the eastern or ram belt section OF
the United States. Of the arid re-
gion it is recognized as the forage
crop. The eastern farmer who ex-
periments with alfalfa growing is
likely to have some trouble and
should make a little study of its hab-
It's before giving up in disgust, as
those who have been measurably NC
cessful claim that the alfalfa will in
time come to be considered the a
viour of worn out land. It's growth
will probably be limited, however, to
soils having a gravelly o. otherwise
loose and easily penetrable sub-soil
for the roots of the alfalfa naturally
go down ten or twelve feet. This
very fact would hold out hope to
worn out lands, that is, where the sur
face soil has been worn out, for these
roots extending to great depth would
bring up to the surface large quanti-
ties of fertility. The most likely diff
fculty, it is said by scientific grass
men, is the question of soil inocula-
ton. The alfalfa, like other le-
gumes, draws it's nitrogen from the
air through root ~tubercules produced
by minute bacteria, and where the
seed is sown in ground free from any
of these organisms, unless artificial
incubation is undertaken, the plants
can get no nitrogen from the air
and their growth amounts to moth
ing. On the other hand, with these
bacteria supplied to the soil, alfalfa
in the eastern States, here in the
District of Columbia for instance,
will grow more rankly than clover
and will produce three crops a sea-
son averaging a ton each. This sea-
son being a wet one a twelve acre
plot of alfalfa at the National Sol
diers' Home just outside of Wash
ington will aggregate considerably
more than three tons per acre. And
alfalfa makes a better hay than eth
er timothy or clover, and according
to the farm superintendent at the
Soldiers Home, far better ensilage.
The question of soil incubation
for alfalfa, or for any other new le-
gume that it is desired to introduce
in any section, is not a serious one.
If a farmer wishes, for instance, to
plant a patch of alfalfa and can get
a cart load of dirt from some ada
cent alfalfa field, all that he has to
do is to evenly distribute it over his
field. If he can only get a small
amount of dirt he should mix it care
fully with a larger amount, making
a pile of several wagon loads, thor
oughly mixed, which can then be
spread over the field to be planted.
A regular machine manure spreader
: is the best agent for this work. The
bacteria multiply very rapidly. If
he has. no means of getting hold of
inoculated soil himself, the Depart
ment of Agriculture will furnish him

chemicals and directions, all put uE
in a little box and sent free. The

crime, has the following to say.
"Certainly the weakest point
in the government in the country
today, and The one that is destin-
ed to bring us the greatest trouble
unless we have an immediate
change, is the enforcement of law.
The trouble is that the young peo-
pie of the land are growing up to
have no respect for law and or
der: and why should they have
when :hey are not made to re-
spect ii! There is nothing we
need in this country SO much, |
repeat, rs respect for the honest
enforcement Of the law affecting
every citizen, and when laws arc
found to be bad they should be
repealed" " The good Book says,
"Words titly spoken are like ap.
pies Of gold in pictures of sill
vtr."
All of that is very true, but il
does not go far enough. The
real trouble begins at home,
