Facts About Alfalfa.

Alfalfa seed weighs about sixty
pounds to the bushel. For hay crop,
SOW twenty to thirty pounds of seed
per acre. For crop of seed, SOW four
teen to eighteen pounds per acre. Sow
clean seed.
Sow alone, without any nurse crop.
The latter is often just as harmful as
the weeds.
Screen alfalfa seed before sowing to
separate the dodder and other weed
seeds. Dodder is the worst enemy of
alfalfa.
North of the latitude of Washington,
D. c., sow alfalfa in the spring, as
soon as the ground is warm-from the
middle of April to the middle of May.
Sow in drills or broadcast.
In the South and Southwest and in
California sow alfalfa in spring or au-
tumn. Sow in drills
Do not cover the seed too deep.
Alfalfa does not attain maturity until
the third or fourth year; therefore. do
not sow it expecting to get the best
results in less time.
Alfalfa grows best ON a deep, sandy
loan, underlaid by loose and per-
meable subsoil. 1t will not grow il
there is an excess of water in the soil.
The land must be we'll drained.
Alfalfa is a deep feeder. Plow land
deeply.
Cut for hay when the first flowers ap-
pear. If cut in full bloom, the hay will
be woody and less nutritious.
Cut for seed when the middle clus-
tiers of seed pods are dark brown.
To make alfalfa hay, cut in the fore
noon and let it wilt; then rake into
windrows. 1t should be cured in wind
rows and cocks, and stacked or put in
barns with as little handling as posi-
BILE, before the valuable leaves become
too dry and brittle.
1t is not safe to pasture either cattle
or sheep on alfalfa, as they are liable
to bloat when it is fed green. Feed
them the hay, or practice soiling.
There is no better or cheaper way of
growing hogs than to pasture them
on alfalfa. One acre will furnish pas
turage for from ten to twenty hogs per
season.
Horses can be pastured on alfalfa.
Alfalfa is a perennial, a clover-like
plant, with oblong-shaped leaves, and
a tap root which often extends eight
OF more feet downward. The plant
grows to a height of from two to five
feet, and its blossoms are purple in
color, borne in long, loose clusters.
Alfalfa hay is not a complete ration.
The best results are got by feeding it
with corn fodder. ensilage, wheat or
oat straw, or roots. Alfalfa contains
large amounts of protein.
Do not cut alfalfa too late in the
season. 1t can be cut from three or
four to seven or eight times in season,
and yields from ton to q ton and a
half or more at cutting.
Six to ten bushels of seed is the usual
yield per acre.
Keep the weeds moved and raked
off the first season, or they will choke
out the crop.-Farm Journal.

when wanted for use is changed into

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention TO the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
g For two years / suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. /

but nothing seemed to help me. / was adj

to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in
