of $4,000 copies. Practical Sugges-

and we printed and distributed and
even 100000 of this. It is a 48 page
pamphlet containing a large number
of drawings and cuts, which enable
the farmer who is not a carpenter
or mechanic to himself make a good

ing his own or his hands spare time,
and at the cost of only the raw ma

pies of Horse Feeding, although but
recently issued has been in great de-
mand, as every farmer is presumed to
have at least one horse which needs
feeding.
"I would like to say a word right
here, however" said Mr. Arnold,
"about the distribution of these bull
letins. The Departments supply is
very, limited whereas every member
of Congress and Senate has his quota
of the same and we would appreciate
it if farmers would apply to their
own Congressman. The appropria-
ton for publishing them comes from
Congress and it is but right that
Congressman should know of the de-
mand, as well as have the opportuni-
ty of supplying it. Of course, in case
the supply becomes exhausted, a di-
rect application to the Secretary of
Agriculture will always find us very
glad to furnish the farmer with the
desired publication if we have it, or
if not, as soon as supply is printed.
The division of publication has a
printed list containing the titles of
about 175 Farmers Bulletins, cover
ing almost every feature of farm
work and growth and we will be glad
to furnish this list upon application.
The bulletins are usually Short
covering from 70 to 40 pages-con-
densed articles which even the ex-
tremely busy man can usually find
time to glance over and pick from
useful points"

AGRICULTURE
Sowing Alfalfa, Crimson Clover and
Hairy Vetch.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
These are all winter-growing for
ace plants, affording excellent hay
about the first of the next May. They
also furnish some pasturage in Feb
ruary, March and April. All of them
improve the soil. The seed are kept
in stock by all prominent seedsmen,
seed of crimson clover costing this
wear about 6 cents, and hairy vetch
and alfalfa about 10 to - cents per
pound. The best grade only should
be bought.
For small seed, like alfalfa and
crimson clover the soil should be we'll
settled and free from trash. Cover
with harrow and roller.
Alfalfa should be sown broadcast
only on good, well drained land near
ly free from seed of weeds and grass.
If wecdy land must be used, SOW 10
pounds per acre in narrow drills, and
cultivate it. Sow about 90 pounds
of seed per acre broadcast, inoculat-
ing the seed exactly as described be-
low, except that the earth for inoc-
uIating alfalfa should be taken from
spot where alfalfa or burr clover
has grown for some years. Before
sowing the seed apply broadcast on
soil except lime soil one-half to one
ton OF Stacked lime per acre, and
harrow in; or the same amount of
wood ashes may be substituted. Well
rotted stable manure, especially that
made from feeding cotton seed meal
and huIIs to cattle, is the best fertil-
Izer, and manure is almost indispen-
SibIe 1t thorough natural or artif-
ciaI moculatiOn does not occur. If
commercial fertilizers must be used,
mixture of cotton seed meal and
phosphate will be helpful.
On suitable soil, not too weedy. al
Iaia endures without reseeding for
number of years. 1t can be cut at
least three times per year, making a
large Weld of hay, except during the
first year.
Alfalfa is best sown from Septem-
Der Is to October Is, but on good,
clean land, it can also be sown in
March.
Crimson clover is sown at the rate
u ~ pounds per acre, September Is
20 October IS. It may be sown be-
tween the standing cotton stalks,
covering slightly with one-horse har-
70" or cultivator. If the land is

cultivated up to midsummer. No

Sampson Democrat: Mr.. A. E.
Underwood, of Earnest, was a caller
in the Democrat Office Monday.
Speaking of tobacco conditions, he
said he knew of men who have left
a good portion of their tobacco crop
in their field, and one man who had
a fine crop, had offered it to any one
who would gather it. This goes to
show how utterly disgusted and dis
couraged our people are over the
prices.

thoroughly compacted with harrow
and drag or roller before seed are
sown.
Failures with crimson clover are
frequent, due most frequently to (D
want of incubation; (2) soil too
loose; (3) late sowing; (4) very poor
land; and (5) acid soil.
At Auburn on sandy land lightly
lined crimson clover has generally
succeeded admirably when inoculat-
ed, yielding ~ to 2 tons of excellent
hay per acre, and it has invariably
failed when not inoculated.
To inoculate crimson clover SOW
with the seed 1 to 3 tons per acre of
soil from a field where crimson, red,
low white, or other true clover (not
Japan clover or lespedeza) has been
grown. One of the low white clovers
(having roundish leaflets and in May
white roundish heads of the size of
the end of the fnger) can usually be
found in old pastures, lawn, road
sides in small towns, etc. The inoc-
ulating earth should be finely pull
verized, evenly sown, and promptly
and thoroughly narrowed in with the
seed. In addition the seed should be
dipped in water in which has been
stirred some of the soil from around
the clover roots. This dipping alone
may result in the incubation of a
part of the seed.
Thorough incubation (shown by
an abundance of characteristic
double-pear-shaped enlargements or
tubercles on the crimson clover roots
not later than January, and by dark
green color of leaves) makes nitroge-
nous fertilizers unnecessary, because
plants with tubercles can get their
nitrogen from the air. Phosphate
Goo to 200 pounds per acre. is need
ed on sandy land whether the plants
are inoculated or not.
Hairy vetch should be sown either
broadcast or in narrow drills, from
September 1 to October Is. If for
nay SOW ~ poundS OF VeIcn HlAeu
with the usual amount of beardless
wheat or fall oats. For pasturing
during February, March and April,
SOW vetch with rye, wheat or oats.
To insure success the vetch seed
should be inocuIated with soil from
an old patch of vetch or from a part
of an old garden where English peas
haUe rnoeOtlv GROWN
Crimson clover and hairy vetch do
not grow again from the roots. Grim
son clover does not effectively reseed
the land. Vetch can be made to re-
seed itself either CD by cutting it
very late, after some of the seed have
scattered, or (2) by cutting the hay
very early, when, in wet seasons the
stubble and a slight second growth
will afford seed, or (3) by removing
the stock pasturing on it after April
20. Cowpeas, sorgum, or other
broadcast summer crop can be grown
without interfering with the seed

Our Washington Correspondent Speaks
of Several Popular Bulletins Which
Every Progressive Farmer Reader
Ought to Have.
Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:
Over 6,5OO,O0O farmers bulletins
were distributed by the Department
of Agriculture last year. The de-
mand for some of these bulletins was
so great as to necessitate a number
of reprints of the same.
"What were the most popular of
the farmers bulletins issued by the
Department" {" I asked Mr.. Joseph
Arnold, assistant chief of the publ
cation division.
probably the most sought after
bulletin" he answered, "was Good
Roads For Farmers (No. 95) also
bulletin No. 36, entitled Earth
Roads. There seems to be a general
awakening all over the country on
the good roads subject. Another bull
letin in much demand is No. 81,
Standard Varieties of Chickens.
This pamphlet could, I believe, be
read with profit by every farmer not
already a chicken fancier. The ef-
fciency of the average barn yard
fowl is far below what it should be,
and yet it is such an extremely easy
thing for any farmer to breed up his
barn yard flock into probably fifty
per cent greater productiveness.
Over 125,OOO of these bulletins we're
distributed. Another closely allied
pamphlet (No. 141), is Poultry Rails
ing on the Farm, of which 10000
were called for. This publication
goes more into the care of chickens,
discusses incubators, brooders, etc.
and the diseases which young chicks
fall heir to, along with their rene
dies. Bulletin 100, Breeds of Dairy
Cattle, has also proved very popu-
lar one, 125,OOO copies having been
distributed during the year. This is
another subject which interests al
most every farmer throughout the
country. Bulletin 55, Dairy Herds,
also was requested to the extent of
10000 copies. This bulletin, written
by Major Alvord of the dairy divi-
sion, has some extremely valuable
suggestions for farmers who are in
the milk and dairy business or con-
template embarking therein. The
Fruit and Garden, (No. 154), is a
valuable little bulletin of which we
distributed 10000 Notwithstanding
it was published well along in the
year. The Venegtable Garden is an
old publication of the Department
which has been reprinted many times,
but the demand for it continues and

 changed at the critical moment, and by heroic work by the few men in town further damage was pre- vented.
 The people of this place and the Inlet are working for a better mail service. The winter service is es- pecially bum. The mail that left here Oct. 29, 1902, did not arrive at Seattle until Feb. P, following, and between Feb. 9 and and May f no mail was taken out at ali. This was all due to the unreliable steamship service. Now a new summer schedule is announced. The Newport is scheduled to arrive at Seldovia on the 18th of each month, but will never make it judging from past experience, and the Bertha is due at the same place on the 18th. Consequently the Tyonic will meet both boats on the same trip from this place, and bring the two monthly mails to Cook Inlet points on the one trip, which means one mail a month. The western mail service has all ways been an abominstion, and instead of getting better is growing worse. If Wayland has charge Of the Alaska mail service much long CT we won't have any mail at all after & while.
