ALrALrA IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS.


A friend writing from central Illinois
wishes to know il he can make alfalfa
success. in that section. While in
nearly all the territory west Of the Mis-
souri, river alfalfa seems perfectly at
home and does well, the growing OF 1t
in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Till
nois is almost wholly in the experi-
mental stage at present. Here and
there in the states named some meas
ure of success has been attained, but
taken as whole, for reasons not clear
ly understood as yet, there seems to be
lack Of adaptation between the plant
and the soil, and many failures result
The plant seems most at home where
aridity, irrigation and sunshine are
combined. There is more experimental
ton in progress in the states named be-
ing conducted with alfalfa than with
any other thing, and within year or
two we look to see 1t definitely settled
whether 1t can be made an available
forage crop or not. One or two things
are already settled-one, that, it will
not grow on all kinds of soil; another,
that it will take from two to three
years to o;get.a good stand. 1t is not a
rotation crop and the land must be per-
manently dedicated to its use IL 1t can
be grown. lis not as good pasture
grass as clover, timothy or blue grass
for it must never be fed close, but as a
hog pasture all through the corn belt
it would prove simply invaluable,
cheapening the cost Of pork production
and insuring thrifher, healthier hogs.
Our friend must do as others are do
ing-take rich and well drained field,
SOW twenty pounds Of seed on well
fitted soil in May without a nurse crop,
clip with mower three times the first
year and let clippings fall on the
ground. If it comes on all right the
next spring he can probably grow all
falfa; If 1t comes out yellow and
patchy and siclly he probably can't.
There is no way but to try it and see.
Before sowing the seed send to the de-
partment Of agriculture and get q
package Of the bacteria essential to it's
growth, which will be sent free Of
charge, with full directions how to
use it.

WHAT TWENTY ACRES WILL DO.
This man has twenty acre field Of
land located near a good town and
wants to know how best to use it.
There are very large possibilities con-
nected with such a tract, and, properly
managed, it can be made to produce
an income equal to that Of many a
quarter section farm run in the old
and the common way. There is first
and foremost the possibility of secur-
ing an unlimited amount of the best of
fertilizer at low cost, and this means
high degree Of productiveness. Then
extra help is available at special sea-
sons, which is not always the case on
the country farm. Such tract can be
made most profitable used on the
line of market gardening, the growing
Of special crops-s Strawberries, small
fruits, cabbages, onions, celery, aspar-
agus, tomatoes, herbs and early pota-
toes. While such tract planted to
corn would produce 1000 bushels,
worth, say, $500, used in the manner
suggested, 1t can easily be made to pro-
duce five times as much, or $500.
Twenty acres is a large farm under an
intensive system Of agriculture.

Many men are opposed to the re-
moval Of the cornstalks from the field
as fodder crop on the ground that
such course tends to impoverish the

extracted from the decaying stalks.

best crop which the farm produces in
the sole matter Of fertilizing and reno
waiting worn and exhausted soils.

THE PROBLEM OF FARM HELP.

A reader down in New York wants
to know what is to become of the
farmer unless he is able to secure hired
help on the farm at lower wages than
are now demanded by the farm hands.
He writes that the condition has be-
come so serious down east that much
of the land will remain uncultivated
this year and that help is almost Inn
possible to obtain. This condition of
things is not confined to the east by
any means. It prevails all through the
more productive western country as
well, and it is condition which is ALI
most paralyzing farm operations. In
locality not far from where the writ
er lives, covering large area, the
farm hands have organized and de-
mand Of the farmers $50 per month,
board, washing, the keep of horse
and ten hour day. No man can prof
itably carry on his farm work under
such conditions, and thousands OF
farmers are turning this way and that
to devise some plan to be rid of the
hired help question. It Is like hiring
a man to milk the cows and giving
him all the cream for his labor in so
doing. Some are seeding their farms
down, some are selling part of their
land, some renting, and the very best
and safest business in the country is
being disturbed and almost demoral4
ized by the existing condition of things.
We venture to offer one or two sugges.
tions which in some cases may tend
to better the condition. Seed all the
land down which cannot be handled
by the owner himself; keep sheep,
which one year with another will pay
as well as cows and demand but a
minimum Of work and care; procure
every available machine or implement
which can be made to do the work Of
a man, and use horseflesh instead Of
men. Let the calves suck the COWS
and raise baby beef. This will insure
the fertilizing and renovation Of the
farm anyhow, and what is made the
farmer can put in his jeans. Times
may change.

One does not have to go to the slums
and tenement sections of the great cit
les to find people living in defiance of
sanitary laws. Out in the country,
where, with a surplus Of fresh air,
good living and sunshine, there should
be almost perfect conditions for health
full living, we find typhoid, diphtheria
and consumption getting in their fatal
work. We know country people so
mortally afraid Of fresh air that they
continuously sleep in unventilated bed
rooms, and after breathing poison all
night they drink it down through the
day in water from we'll contaminated
by an adjacent cesspool or barnyard.
Hundreds Of country homes right here
in our land need to have the gospel of
sanitary sense carried to them. 1t is
pitiful satisfaction to have all the
neighbors come out to the funeral
when the dead one is the victim Of vio-
lated common sense sanitary laws.
