Alfalfa as n Fertilizer.

Alfalfa drains, enriches. and warns our coldest alfalfa lands. The actual yield of cotton following alfalfa on such land was one and a quarter bales when alfalfa had held the land for four years. Cotton grows so weedy and rank after alfalfa that 1t Is necessary to use about 100 pounds of acid phos- phate per acre to cause proper fruit ing"
 Such are the words of w. l.. Foster. of Shreveport, La. in an address deliv- cred before the Louisiana Live Stock Association at Shreveport. and printed in Farm and Ranch April l. In an other part of the same address he said that such lands naturally produced two- fifths to one-half bale of cotton per acre. hence the effect of alfalfa was to increase the yield at least three fourths of q bale per acre.
 In the same issue was letter from Mir. A. B. Henderson of Salt Lake City. who quotes Utah farmers as say ing that wheat yields from forty to fifty bushels per acre with irrigation on newly plowed alfalfa land, and to inc same effect Is an experience of MT. | E Wing, of Mechanicsburg. Ohio. who raised sixty bushels of corn per acre on timothy sod and 100 bushels her acre on adjacent alfalfa sod, or an increase of forty bushels per acre. It Is also the practice of potato growers

barley, potatoes. root crops. corn. trait, small fruits and vegetables.
 In pursuance of this policy of concen- tration on a few problems. the chief attention of these workers is given to the breeding of timothy grass Eight thousand separate timothy plants are
 being grown in hills, and notes on these are being mado many times dur
 ing the season. These plants were each started from single seed in little pot in green houses and after wards transplanted to the field at dis
 tances two and a half feet apart each way Seed were collected from all
 over the world and several hundreds of
 each were planted singly so as to
 make selection of such individual plants as might be especially promis-
 ing. In this, the second year of the work, there are apparent notable dif- ferences in the time of maturing. in the height of plants. In the number of
 stems produced, in the width of leaf,
 and in the other characteristics. If any one supposes that an experimenter | in plant breeding has an easy task, he
 will be disallusioned when state that one of my assistant professors is in the l field soon after three o'clock In the
 morning during the season of blooming, since 1t Is necessary to make bis notes
 on relative earliness of plants at the | time of day when the floral parts are most exposed and conspicuous.
 A second most important work on 1 this farm is the study of root crops to determine their relative yields of stock | food. In spite of the aversion which the American farmer has to using for l food a crop that costs so much labor, Prof. Hunt believes that the large yield | of roots and the results of European experimenters make them a promising
 substitute for part of the grain ration
 ordinarily fed to cattle. The roots
 that are being tested most extensively are stock beets or mangle worzels. tur-
 nips, ruta bagas, carrots, parsnips and I kohlrabi and with them are grown
 cabbages, of which immense yields have been made on this farm and at sufficiently low cost for them to be
 used as forage. The cabbage might be a possible crop for feed on rich | patches on Southern farms. but Tor the | injuries from insects.
 Perhaps the most valuable practical
 experiments now under way are tests
 of the pasturage value of number or | grasses and clovers, grown alone and | In combinations It Is interesting to
 note that as usual cattle snow strong preferences, grazing all grasses closer
 than red top. It is equally interesting
 to note that grasses, even in pastures,
 vary greatly in their ability to triumph
 over weeds. Wherever blue grass IS
 sown. weeds are now more abundant
 than where grasses were sown that
 make a more vigorous and early | growth. Alfalfa is receiving much at
 tention. On the rich low lands 1t Is an
 entire success in spite of the severe competition with foxtail grass and dan delions On the uplands these weeds and Canada thistle make the problem
 more doubtful one and the results l here seem to indicate that manure, lim-
 ing and inoculation are all three need ed for success J. F. D.

the case when the crop is ready, August or September generally. the vines are raked up the same or the following day, and put into cocks of the size that two men can handle with a fork when cured. They are left in the cocks for four or five days, being turned over once or twice during the time. and hauled to the barn or stack. In caso they are put in a stack, good cover ing of grass hay Is necessary in order to shed the water. The sides Of the stack should be built straight up to prevent the waters spelling the out side hay.
 Putting in cock is desirable, because tEe hay Is then cured by the circula- ton of the air through it, and not in the direct sunlight Any hay Is better when cured in the shade.
 IL the weather is damp or rainy, the hay is not raked at all till cured. when it is carried directly to the place where 1t Is to be stored. If 1t continues to rain for several days after cutting, do not touch the hay till ready to put up, and then be sure that 1t is dry when packed away. This Is precaution that must be observed in storing any kind of hay; do not put up when even moist with dew, or 1t will mould.
 The crop may sometimes be lost in protracted wet spell, but can generally be saved in such condition as to make very good forage.
 Other methods are practiced- in saw ing hay. One Is to put up green and Is entirely satisfactory when so packed that air can circulate freely through it. One of the methods of putting up green Is to erect stack pole and nail a strong piece of the pole extending to the outer edges of the stack. Put lay T of the green vines two or three feet thick, then nail on another cross piece, and so on to top of stack. finish ing of with grass hay. The cross pieces prevent the vines packing down closely and at the same time allow the air to enter the stack. They can be. cured and kept by this method. It Is somewhat more expensive than curing in the field, as it nece ssitates the nand- ling of a great amount of water in the green vines, and the cost of stack pole, cross pieces, etc. amount to something.

CurIur Cowpen Hay.

As this subject is always of interest we give below the methods usually fol lowed in curing the crop at the Sta tion. The cutting is done when the crop Is fully mature. which is about the time the pods begin to ripen and the foliage begins to change color.
 The moving machine blade is kept sharp and run as close to the ground as possible. If the peas are in rows the cutting can be done much cleaner and better with a very sharp hoe, and at very little additional cost.
 If the weather is good. as is usually

On the Farm of the New York Cornell
 Exneriment StntiOR.

Naturally while at Cornell onlVer- sity I spend some time on the farm Of the Experiment Station. This Is not a season at which to see the farm at its best. for extensive building operations have destroyed the experiments in some fields and otherwise interfcred with inc current work. Of course the agricul- tural professors are glad to have thls temporary inconvenience, since It means that within year they will have one of the Nbest agricultural buildings in the United Staes, The Legislature ap- propriated S250,0O0 to be used exclus- iyely for an agricultural building. Near ly all of the space in 1t will be util- ized by the strictly agricultural depart ments, that is agronomy (crop produc- tion) animal husbandry, horticulture, dairying, and poultry husbandry. Ev- cry opportunity will be furnished in this building both for investigation and for education in agriculture. For eX- ample in the study of crops. every stu dent will have a large section or wall space, with his own locker, In which the material that he Is studying will be kept. Laboratories for soil physics, an laboratories and storage rooms Tor instruction in farm machinery will have ample space.
 Finding that the old farm was some what limited for the best plot work, the University has bought for the Ex- pertinent Station with the past tWo years three additional small farms. Pro- lessor Hunt, Professor Of Agronoiny, wko has charge of the farms, explains that he is concentrating his attention on a few problems. The main work In which he and his four assistants are engag d is a study of forage plants. es- pecially of grasses. He reasons that grass is the principal farm product of the State of New York. in which State oh oR the fmnTOVed lana is in meadow and about onc-third in pasture, making grass the crop on two- thirds of the farm area of the State. This leaves only one-third of the improved land for all oth- - aEnna including wheat oats.

Shocking COrn-Swapping Cotton seed.
 Wilcox County correspondent makes several inquiries as to cutting and shocking corn and in regard to proposed exchange of cotton seed TOT cotton seed meal These are answered in the following letter: .
 Dear Sir-Your recent letter was for warded to me at Cornell University. where I am spending several weeks Of vacation. This explains my failure to give an earlier reply.
 Replying to your inquiries, I would say that corn should be cut and shock ed at @ stage about one week later than the usual time considered best for pull ing fodder. This might be said to be the earliest permissible stage and if the corn Is not firing, further delay of a week or more would not be ruinous. The shock should be made so large. usually 250 or more plants per shock. and tied so tightly at the top that or dinary rains shall do little damage. Sometimes on low land or when the shock blows over, a protracted rainy spell injures the corn, but this is the exception.
 Replying to your second question. would say that 1t is generally unwise to sell cotton seed at $11 or SIP per ton to buy cotton seed meal at $25 per ton, whether the use intended for seed or meal be 'as feed or fertilizer. Of course this is a complicated question and its answer would depend some- what on the combination In which the seed CT meal Is to be fed or the char acter of the land to which they are to be applied. .-..- j..
