The general custom in the eastern
and southern states, where rain is
abundant, is to keep the orchard cult
waited until about the middle of the
summer and then seed the ground
down to some leguminous cover crop.
One of the purposes of this cover crop
is to evaporate moisture from the soil
and thus cause the trees to properly
iripen their wood before winter comes.

THE CANADIAN NORTHWEST
A Possible Revelation In the AmeR1-
can wheat Trade.

can Wheat Trade.
The development Of the wheat fields
of the Canadian northwest is the
marked agricultural movement of the
times. The wheat lands of Manitoba
have been under cultivation long
enough to make 1t an old story for that
province, but the tide of immigration
which is pouring into the territories
farther west is opening up a new
wheat district, the extent of which can
hardly be Appropriated with our pres
ent knowledge Of the country. By rea-
sons both Of soil and climate the wheat
producing area is limited, mainly con-
fined to Manitoba, eastern Assiniboia
and Saskatchewan. 1t is In this terri
tory last named that development Is
now most rapid. The Canadian North
ern railroad is building westward
through the valley of the river of the
same name, laying track at the rate Of
two and one-half miles per day, and II
Is here that settlement is rife.
Experience at the few points In this
valley previously settled show that II
Is great wheat country, the town OF
Rosthern, on the Canadian Pacific rail-
road, which crosses the valley, ship
ping this year more than a million
bushels Of wheat against 10000 bushels
three years ago The road now build
ing runs through the valley for 700
miles, and the wheat area which 1t will
bring into touch with the markets will
affect wheat growers in our own coun-
try. One possibility in this connection
opens field for interesting specula-
ton. This new field lies within 600
miles Of Hudson bay, and the Canadian
Northern railroad has definite plans for
a line to a deep water harbor on that
bay. For 200 years the Hudson Bay
company has brought all their sup
plies from England for their trading
posts through this northern route and
by the same route have shipped out
their annual accumulation of furs and
pclts. During all that time officials Of
the country claim to have never lost a
vessel in the straits or In the bay. The
straits can be navigated for seven or
eight months of the year. or as long as
navigation is open on our great lakes.
An examination of map of the
world will show that the sailing dis
lance from ports on the western shores
of Hudson bay to Liverpool is practi-
cally the same as from New York to
Liverpool. The Canadian government
has just dispatched an expedition Of
scientists and practical steamship men
TO survey the Hudson bay waters to
determine the practicability of an ex-
port grain route. This expedition Is to
spend one year at the work, and IL the
conclusion is favorable 1t will mean n
new commercial route which will han
die not only the wheat of northwestern
Canada. but may divert the export
channel of wheat from our own Red
river valley. This Canadian wheat now
commands premium in the English
market, and If an export route can be
devised which will save the present
cost of transportation from Lake Supe-
rior ports to the seaboard 1t will create
condition which may revolutionize
the American wheat trade.-Country

Alfalfa Notes.


Alfalfa prefers deep, moist and warm
soils.
There is none Of our forage crops that
will respond more readily to a thorough
preparation of the seed bed than alfal-
ia.
Cut alfalfa that has been rained on
demands the utmost care to cure prop
erly, because Of the tendency of the
leaves to become brittle and shatter.
Alfalfa should not be pastured until
1t has matured good hardy crown
and root system to enable 1t to with
stand the tramping of stock. At least
two years should be allowed the crop
for this purpose, and even more would
be conducive to hardy crop.
Alfalfa seed, being small. demand IA
vorable conditions for successful germi-
nation. Rains following close after roll
Ing Of the land are liable to compact
the surface Of the soil to such an ex-
tent as to render 1t a difficult matter
for the young plants to push through.
This condition can be remedied by har-
rowing, which breaks the crust and al
lows the plants to easily push through.
Do not turn hungry or thirsty ami
mails in an alfalfa field. By observing
this rule and further accustoming them
to it by gradually increasing their time
Of feeding, little or no injurious effect
will accompany the pasturing Of horses
and hogs. Cattle are more liable to
bloat, and even with the best Of care
and attention fatal cases will occur
Selling cattle Is the safest method OF
feeding them alfalfa.-Texas Expert
ment Station.

THE DUST BOARD.
How 10 Make 1t and It's Value In
Time of Drought.

Time of Drought.
We have received number of re-
quests for more definite instructions
now to make dust boards. We will
therefore illustrate, says Southern Gull
ivator. The dust board is not necessa-
rily Of any precise dimensions. The
size can be varied to suit the width Of
the rows. Take piece Of plank one
inch thick and from four to six inches
wide and, say, three feet long. To this
fasten two pieces of iron or steel long
enough to reach to the pillow stock from
the ground. These should then be bolt
ed to the pillow stock in such a manner
as to press the lower edge Of the board
firmly against the ground when the
plow Is being used. These pieces Of
iron should be SO set that the dust
board will not be in the way of the
plowman's feet in following the pillow.
In the accompanying cut ID repre-
sents the dust board, which is three
feet more or less in length and six
inches more or less in breadth.

fastened to d some distance apart and

A CHEAP CROP.
Will 1t Pay to Grow yes-Hard on
the SOiI-VaIue For Hay.

VIII 1t Pay to Grow Ryes-HArd on
the soiI-Value For Hay.
Rye is crop that demands a fair
amount of moisture. Low land, not too
wet and cold, is most congenial for a
good yield. 1t draws hard upon the
soil, as it derives less of It's growth
from the air than many other products,
and while good soil will raise more
bountiful crop quite sterile lands in a
wet season will produce sometimes
quite a growth, but when such land
will no longer produce rye it Is the last
seed you need to sow.
While rye is n cheap crop, it yields
but a small amount Of grain for the
amount of stalk. In localities where
fodder is scarce 1t can be used as a
substitute for hay If cut just as it is
about ready to blossom, at which time
the leaf blades are in just good condi-
ton and fairly we'll developed. If sown
in the last of August the first of June
would be the proper time for cutting,
but the wholesomeness of this kind Of
fodder has been somewhat questioned
for the use of horses unless fed alter
nately with clover or timothy hay. II
cut by the first of June and the season
is wet there will be sufficient vitality in
the root to throw up another crop OF
fodder the same season.
In ATTITUDES AZ to A 1t is best to SOW
as early as the last Of August. yet it is
easily injured by frost at about bios
soming time. When that occurs the
only thing to do is to cut it for hay and
without delay. In sowing the last of
August one-half bushel of seed is am
pie, but in raising rye for the grain II
| will be more sure If sown about the
| first part of October, making 1t later In
| the spring as a protection against late
| frosts, for it takes a very heavy frost
| to injure it before 1t is headed. But IN
| sowing on the first of October 1t requires
about one and one-half bushels of seed
per acre instead of half bushel.
In view of the great draft upon the
| soil we could hardly advise the rails
ing of rye for the grain only. and only
where the fodder is much needed, con
cludes a Michigan correspondent OF
Farm, Field and Fireside.

Things That Are said.

tened to 1t by bolts, one or more, as you
find necessary. These pieces may be
two separate pieces or one piece up at
the pillow stock and split down at the
dust board. They may be straight or
curved, as suits your convenience, so
they hold the dust board firmly against
the ground as it follows the plow
The object Is to have the dust board
press the little clods made by the pillow
into as fine soil as possible. If this is
done the capillary tubes will be SO COW
cred that all evaporation will be pre-
vented. This will keep all the moisture
right where the tender roots can get 1t.
In dry spells this often becomes a mat
ter Of the greatest Importance. The
success or failure of the crop may de-
pend upon this one point. Experience
has shown that it pays to use the dust
board on all crops in all weather when
there Is dust raised by the pillow.
AS already stated, the board may be
Of any length. If more convenient n
piece Of by inch scantlng may be
used instead OF the l by 6 plank. The
method here suggested for fastening
the board to the pillow stock is not the
only one that may be used. Any way
will answer so as to get the dust board
to press hard enough to pulverize the
little clods left by the pillow or harrow
or cultivator.
The dust board may be used with har.
rows or cultivators. In this case we
fasten the board to the two hind teeth.
1t is estimated that the dust board is
worth from sos to 500 to the pillow in a
dry year-that 1t will add that much to
the crop yield.

Irrigation of Strawberries.
The Georgia experiment station states
that irrigation of strawberries cannot

that state on large scale, 1t seems TO
make the berries soft and unfit for
