How to Cure Falfalfa.

Prof. Cottrell in Bulletin of Kansas
Experiment Station.
The leaves OF alfalfa contain more
than three times as much protein as
the stems a ton of alfalfa leaves con-
tanning as much protein as $500 POUNDS
of bran. Protein is the material IN
feed necessary for the formation of
blood. lean meat and milk. Every eff
fort then, should be made to cure the
alfalfa in such a way as to save all
the leaves possible. The method OF
curing will vary with the condition OF
the crop, ground and weather. When
alfalfa has made a slow growth, and at
the time of cutting the ground and the
weather are dry, there is no difficulty
in curing. Often, under these condi-
lions, 1t is safe to rake within a few
hours after moving, and stake few
hours after the alfalfa has been put in
the windrotvs.
When alfalfa has made rapid
growth and is rank ana succulent and
the weather and ground are damp, the
problem of curing is a difficult one. 1t
is easy to dry the leaves, but the stems
will contain much moisture after the
leaves are too dry. Alfalfa hay should
become so dry before stacking that
when a handful of stems are tightly
twisted together no water can be
squeezed but. The most practical way
to accomplish this. and at the same
time save the leaves is the plan tC
adopt, and this will vary with different
sea sous and places.
There is practically no difficulty ir
curing any but the first crop. Wher
the conditions for curing the first croI
are unfavorable, we have usually found
the most practicable method to be tc

the dew is of, allow 1t to barely will

<. Ieotu with AIiscellnneous Hog Foods..
a bulletin of the Oregon Experiment
station reports results Of feeding to
hogs number of foods not in common
use for this purpose. Apples were
found to be just nutritious enough to
maintain hogs without increase or de-
crease their live weight. Clover hay

nne quality, was boiled and fed to
hogs In connection with corn. In COM
parison with 1t, another lot of pigs
were fed with siiage made from clo-
yer and containing nearly as much dry
substance for the entire feeding period

eight months old when the experiment
began. consumed nearly two pounds
per day of the dry weight ofclover. and
the other lot about three times as
much silage, containing altogether
nearly as much dry matter as the
smaller amount of clover. 1t required

Fruit and Vegetable Growing in the
South.


BY H. Benton, of South Carolina. in
Cotton Planters Journal.
1t is evident. to the thinking man.
that our farmers, to be successful
must get out of the old rut" of de-
pending entirely upon the old staple
crops-corn. cotton, wheat, oats, rice
etc. 1t is not the purpose of this pa
per to advocate a complete change
from the well understoon crop to.
those that are not matured in a year
or even five years; but any one may
observe that the successful farmer, at
the present time is the one who diver
SITES his crops.
l do not mean that any one man
should grow the whole category of
crops that may be in any locality of
our State, but from the list of profita-
BILE crops which may be grown one
should select the crop that he may
have personal preference for. 1t is
a mistake to undertake the growth
| pleasure, as we'll as profit. To be
| more successful the grower must love
his plant.
From the long list of profitable
fruits and vegetables, any one may
easily select one. two or even three
crops that could be cultivated to ell
vantage in connection with the main
crop.
In conversation With Mr.. G. w
Holmes, a successful farmer of Madi-
| son, Ga. a few months since, he re-
| marked, Il attribute my success to
| the diversification OF produces, and
| the thorough preparation of my lands
let them grow up IN weeds rather
| than plant lands poorly prepared
| Thorough preparation is half n cult
vation." Mr.. Holmes also stated that
l Al,
| the farm is because the farm is not
made attractive for them. The at
! Effectiveness of any farm may be added
to by a profitable selection of diver
| sifled products.
The question of diversification should
| be guarded so that no man should
| undertake more crops than he can
cultivate and properly market to ad-
vantage. Select your crops so that
no two will require your attention at
the same time.
Our city and factory population must
| be supplied with fruits and vegetables
from some source. and il is mistake
with our salubriods climate and re-
sponsive soils to let the supply come
! from other States.
To show what may be done in
| South Carolina in The way of fruit
and vegetables 1 submit the following

A QUESTION OF vERAcITY

There seems to be a rather lively
question of veracity now at issue be-

News has charged that Senator New
lands owns stock in the Gazette and
and Mr. Bragg publishes a very ex-
plicit statement over his signature de-
nying that the Senator owns, or ever
owned a share of Gazette stock. The
News publishes kilograms from New
lands offering to sell his stock. Now
the whole question comes to rest on
the genuineness Of these dispatches
and the Appeal suspends judgement
until this matter is fully settled.
1t is alledged that no such dispatch
es ever went over the wires and
that Mr.. Bragg made a correct state
ment when he alleged over his signi'
ture that tie News allegation was
untrue.
