The New Russian loan.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-A prelimin-
airy contract was signed with a num-
Der of Russian banks for the issue of
$75,O00,O00 of the proposed internal
loan of 800, 900, 900. The bonds bear
interest at the rate of five per cent.
per annum and are redeemable in fifty
years. The issue price is 96.
The successful conclusion of the in
ternal loan of $4,000 900 at the ennis
sion price of SO comes as a CLEAN Of
sunshine in an otherwise clouded sit
uation. Of this amount the Govern
ment savings bank takes one-fourth
and private banks and an underwrit-
ing syndicate the remainder.
The internal situation in Russia is
a source of continued apprehension.
In the south Of Russia workingmen
and peasants already are joining
hands, and from the Caucasus, Poland
and other quarters encounters be-
tween discontinued workers and the DO
lice, with fatal consequences, are re-
ported.

Facts About Alfalfa.

Alfalfa seed weighs about sixty
pounds to the bushel. For a hay crop,
SOW twenty 10 thirty pounds Of seed
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 if
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
windows. 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 obfong-shaped leaves, and
a tap root which often extends eight
or 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 a season,
and yields from 4 ton to a ton and a
half or more at a 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.

what Careful Milking Would Do.

H N'ON
Careless milking is something that
should not be put up with by any
means wherever COWS are kept. 1t has
been figured out, and we have not the
least doubt but what the figures are
fairly accurate, that careless milking
in the United States is responsible for
the loss of one pound of milk and one-
tenth of a pound of fat per day for each
COW. This was the average gained by
testing 142 COWS. In commenting OH
this q dairy paper says that thorough
milking and udder manipulation would
increase the value of the milk given by
the 1S,000,000 COWS in the United States
over present production by 500. 1000
a year. This is equal to five per cent.
on $4,000, GOO, 1000. That is, careful milk
ing would increase the dairy capital
ization of the country by that amount.

Eor a Fancy Ball.

A friend of ours is big and burly, and
we have advised him to initiate the
most successful of all costumes at a
ball we once attended. A very big
man had dressed as a baby in a long
nightgown tied with wide frilled ends
round the waist. He carried a feeding
bottle, entered the room with a roar
that drowned the music and paralyzed
the dancers. sat down with q thump
in the middle of the floor, and roared
until every one had Joined the crowd
round him. Then he left off crying,
emptied his bottle at a draught, and
called for some one to fill it.-London
