other kinds of forage plants fail. 1t is
a plant that requires a great deal Of
sunshine, and cold summers, where the
days of sunshine are few, are not ia
vorable to its growth. This is the rea-
son that it has been of greatest service
in those countries that have an almost
endless succession Of sunny days. 1t
is a plant most adapted to warm coun-
tries. but varieties of it have become
adapted to the more Northern locali-
ties, and we now find it growing on
this continent far north of the British
line, as we'll as in Mexico and south.
Under the hand of man il is develop
inging greater possibilities than II was
ever before suspected to possess. The
writer saw in Minpesota a magnificent
field of alfalfa from seed that had
been grown in the vicinity by some
German farmers that had been grow
ing one variety for many years. 1t
seemed to have adapted itself TO the
locality. and TO be able better than
most varieties Of alfalfa TO Withstand
the severe conditions of cold to which
il was every year subjected, In Asia
some varieties of alfalfa are now
grown as far north as where the tenn
perature goes down to 40 degrees below
zero in the winter season. This plant
has been a gerater surprise to our ag-
riculturists than perhaps any other now
grown on our farms. A few years ago
our best farmers believed that it could
not be made to do well in the states
east of the Mississippi. but it is now
being quite extensively grown in nu-
merous localities.

The Cotton Problem.

The editor of Home and Farm says:
A study of the situation just now for
cotton culture is that it should be a
crop in a rotation of crops, and that
failure will inevitably attach to the
plan of trying to have cotton follow
cotton on the same ground year after
year.
The winning plan in this matter now
is to make cotton a part OF that in
tensive farming which calls for high
culture and abundant fertiliZing.
Under this plan the fertilizing of soil
is not done for the cotton only; and
so a mixture highly recommended for
the service is acid phosphate, LOO
pounds; cotton seed meal, 500 pounds;
kainit. 200 pounds. II is advised that
about 100 pounds of this mixture be
applied per acre.
VOORHEES,, an authority on fertilizing,
in discussing the subject. recommends
that this soil-enriching mixture should
be used Tin the drill at the time of
planting, and at the depth of not more
than three inches. and well mixed with
the soil.
In most cases it is best to allow all
Of the fertilizer in one application
rather than fractionally. though if the
land is in superior condition applica-
ton may be made again at the second
blowing"
The preparation of the ground should
be Of the most thorough character,
with the blowing done in the fall, if
possible; so that the harrow will be
able to accomplish all that is needed in
getting the soil right for the reception
Of the seed in the spring.
The harrow ought to be given very
/ free use here, because If il is the
/ ground will be put in just the right
I order for promoting early and vigorous
growth and for maturing the crop; and
/ at the same time this narrowing will
/ lead to the termination and also the
| destruction of the weed elements in the
1 earth.
=, In no event are weeds to be allowed
/ If the best outcome is to be expected.
/ Stir and stir for thus the growing will
/ be helped; and the dryer the season so
much the more win this be true: and
/ al any rate never let a crust remain
after a rain beyond the time when the
surface is in a condition to be
! stirred.
1t should be remembered that some
one point neglected or overlooked
may be ruinous to the whole bust
ness.
Make sure Of good seed-seed the
vigor of which is in no way impaired.
/ And get the variety of seed most like
( ~ ~ SNNNAN CtAAS AAeSNAi ms "a AAAS
crop, and this along with that which
! gives the best quality of fiber. See
/ to it that no point of importance is
! neglected.
1t is certain that out of the present
/ insect-peri for cotton will come a
better agriculture and better things
| for cotton growing generally in the
| South.
We note with great pleasure that the
! cotton growers are thOughtfiillV
aroused on this whole subjecti and
we confidently believe that out Of
the situation as il now exists will
come better things every way for
the growers of this leading pro-
duct OF the Southern country.

Points ON Alfalfa Growing.

The best soil for alfalfa is one that
is light. sandy and loamy says the
Farmers Review. 1t should have a
subsoil through which its long roots
can penetrate TO a considerable dis
lance into the ground. The tap root
goes down fifteen to twenty feet, where
there is an opportunity for il to do So
Let it not, however, be supposed that
alfalfa will grow only on the soils most
suited 10 it. Good results have been
obtained from growing it on a clay soil
with a subsoil not too compact. In
fact. a too loose subsoil is detrimental
to its growth in a hot and dry season,
especially while the plant is young
After it has sent its root down to a
great depth it Will stand almost any
thing. On a clay soil il takes more
care and time TO get the plant estab-
lished than on a sandy soil, but when
it is once established the great factor
seems to be the condition of the sub
soil as to permeability and moisture
supply.
Alfalfa is a plant that is most serv-
iceable in dry climates, where the Glow
ers do not do well and where many

A notable feature Of the May Critic
rion is an article, "A Trip Through
Mongolia and Siberia" by Countess
Marguerite Cassini, daughter of the
Russian ambassador to the United
States. When a very young girl the
Countess Cassini took a most unique
trip through the countries of Siberia
and ongolia-before the days of the
railroads, when journeying had to be
in various man-and-horse-d drawn We
hicles. The youthful traveller jotted
down her impressions lin an old and
weather-beaten note-b book" as she
says. The part that the detective has
played in some of the famous pieces of
fiction is the theme of an unusually
interesting essay by William Wallace

ton" The Criterion Publishing Com

the farms where the fowls are given
the run Of the fields in the spring and
early summer, there is no particular
need 10 provide for a supply of green
food, but on thousands OF farms the
hens are kept shut up, especially dur
ing the season Of garden planting and
the early periods Of growth of the
vegetables As farmers are coming
more and more to growing fruits and
vegetables and raising flowers this is
necessary; for hens and gardens do
not work well together.
Too often the hens are shut into a
yard and are given no systematic at
tenuon in this regard. The yard may
have had green grass in il at the time
the fowls We're put in, but in a few
weeks not a green thing is TO be
found there. This in itself shows the
great craving the fowls have for green
food. A little system in this matter
will supply the fowls with the things
they desire In the way Of green food
In the first place the yard should be
divided into two parts by cross
fence. There viii have to be two
places through which the fowls can
enter the house so that the two yards
may be readily used. Then keep the
fowls in one Of the yards while green
stuff is being grown in the other.
Rape is one Of the best things TO
put into such yard and il has the
advantage over some other things
that the ground viii not have TO be
prepared for it-provided the grass
has been eaten down to the roots
by the fowls. The rape seed is quite
large in size and the sprouts readily
take hold Of the ground In a couple
Of months a good crop should be grow
ing. II is best not TO turn the fowls
in before the rape has become twelve
r.ys 5r~h haV mo ~
be turned in and viii quickly convince
any one that they have a fondness for
rape. They viii strip off all the thin
parts of the leaves leaving only the
midveins. This may take them
month to do But in the meanwhile
the rape goes right on growing. and
when the hens are taken out Of the
yard, the plants grow again from the
mldveins. This produces a second
growth more quickly that the first.
In the same yard should also be sown
lettuce, Of which the fowls are very
fond if they can pick it themselves.
Fowls never seem to care much about
green stuff if it is cut for them. Doubt
less this is because they find a blade
Of grass or the like too difficult TO eat.
When it is growing on its own roots
they pick off just the amount they
can swallow at a time, while If il is
cut for them they cannot easily d.
vide it,
Oats are sometimes sown for poul-
try, but the writer has not generally
found that the fowls cared for the oat
plant. However, at the North Caro-
lima Experiment Station we saw oats
growing in the poultry yards, and the
superintendent of the poultry declared
that the fowls ate them readily. or
any single green feed we are more
pleased with rape than anything else,
which is both easily grown and read
lily eaten by the fowls.

The Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station has recently issued a timely
warning against the injudicious use Of
lime and rests its advice upon the
proposition that lime is not a fertil-
izer." says the Farmers Review. This
is a fact in one sense of the word,
but somewhat misleading when viewed
from a different standpoint. The en-
ployment of lime sets free dormant
food nutrients in a soil rich in hu-
mus or vegetable mold. The growing
plant requires an infinitesimal amount
OF lime as an actual food. but does
require many of the things the action
Of lime makes it possible TO acquire
in a soil that would otherwise prove
partially barren. Lime is then a fer
tilizer. in that it supplies plant food
by its action upon undecomposed mat
tiers capable of decomposition and
breaking up into active. assimilable
plant nutrients. The lime is not abb
sorbed as food in any great quantity.

If tha seeds are good this is a very
SIMPLE matter, if they are put into the
ground where there is plenty of mois-
ture in it as is the case just after
saturating rains.
To insure the success of his main
planting in the spring, the planter,
whether farmer or trucker needs TO
have his land in a perfect state Of
preparation by planting time so that
he can take fun advantage Of the first
saturating rain that occurs.
Our cid soils. long cultivated and
destitute OF humus do not hold the
moisture in the surface soil as they
once did when there was more humus
in it, Under the influence OF sun and
wind il is only matter Of a few days

come too dry TO promptly terminate

In case Of corn, beans. melons,

The roller is good and the foot is
good. One or the other is almost in
dispensible in the season Of hot and
dry weather, so common with us after
the first OF April.
Corn seed thus trodden in with the
foot is rarely If ever interfered with by
crows. Neither Is il injured by frost,
