Discing Alfalfa.

On account Of the many inquiries
in regard to discing alfalfa, few
words on this subject might not be
out of place. At the Kansas Expert
ment Station it is the practice to disc
alfalfa at least three times per year.
The field is given the first discing
about the first of April experiments
proving that discing will be beneficial
if performed at any time before the
plant is four inches high, the earlier
the better. The other discing follow
each cutting after the hay has been
removed.
Many people who have. not
practiced discing might be prejudiced
against it, fearing to injure the crop,
but a fair trial will convince the most
skeptical of its beneficial results.
Three advantages are claimed for
discing. 1t increases the stand; kills
out weeds, and conserves the moisture
in the soil. OF these perhaps the
increase in stand is the more
important Anyone that has ever
attempted to increase the stand by
seeding in the bare spots, will
appreciate a system by which the
stand can be increased in some other
way, for in reseeding,, the young
plants cannot compete with their
deep rooted older rivals. The in
crease in stand is accomplished in
two ways, first on account of the
forked system of root or crown
branching, the disc is often likely to
split a crown and thus establish two
plants on the same space where one
grew before.
Again the discs bruise the crown
and alfalfa being one of those plants
which from adventitions buds easily,
upon each bruised spot, new buds
are formed and hence new stems are
produced, thus increasing the number
of stems per bunch, which is a great
advantage in favor of quality of hay.
The Agricultural College does not
practice discing the first year, but
keeps the weeds down with a mower,
and cultivates with a harrow, but
gives light discing the second year,
and gives the three year. old plants a
full dose. One who. has practiced
discing needs no argument to be
thoroughly convinced of its benefits.

AMBITION.

Is there one heart whose every wish
is gratifed,
Whose plans have ALL succeeded until
satisfied
They rest? If any, few, for hidden
deep there lies
Ambition, hopes, desires, from other
searching eyes,
Hopes buried, that thro' Life oft
bring pangs of regret,
As all the old ambitious thoughts
and glow come yet
For how, in. youth, what glowing
pictures do we paint
So beautiful and bright the Future,
with a faint
Far drifting shadow in the back
ground, but. to make
The bright seem all the brighter, as
first glance we take.
But when we've viewed the picture
longer there appears
The shadow, mingling now, as do
our hopes and fears.
And so, when in our dreams and
fancies we have. wrought
Too glowing Futures, even earnest
work and thought
Accomplished not; instead of dream
ing and regret,
Should these not be determination
stronger yet
To make each day happy one, MOI
tinged with strife,
That which was meant to be a full
contented life.
