ALFALFA ON EASTERN LAND.
Experience of George M. Clarke of
Grass Growing Fame.

Experience of George M. Clarke of |
Grass Growing Fame.
Scientific men tell us that to prepare
quarts Of seed should be sowed per
acre in the spring, and when the plants
are about six inches high they should
be clipped. This clipping is necessary
to check the growth and strengthen
the plant. Clipping makes the plant
branch out with new vigor. This
treatment should be repeated several
times during the summer. This clip
ping of the field the first season is not
expected to be saved for hay.
CInrke's Way.
l took three and Il half acres Of high,
dry and the poorest section of my field
100 feet above the water line and in
tensely cultivated it with a cutaway
harrow to the depth of six inches or
more. Then l sOwed twenty-five
pounds of alfalfa seed to the acre on
June 3; also sowed 800 pounds of high
grade fertilizer per acre. On July "a,
fifty-two days after seeding, cut and
cured 10,TG0 pounds of well dried hay
and on Sept. 13 cut and cured 10,S50
pounds more, almost eleven tons in 103
days from time of seeding. l can
safely call it three tons to lie acre of
we'll dried alfalfa hay af,lr all extra
weights were deducted. While would
not advise others to go into the cult
walton of alfalfa very extensively at
first, vet l think that there are many
high and dry fields in New England
that would be utilized to good advan-
tage in its production.
Intense Cultivation.
The first thing to be done is to in
tensely cultivate the field and kill out
all kinds of vegetation, then SOW the
seed, giving the alfalfa the first, best
and only chance. W i my present
knowledge 1 should advise dressing
of thoroughly decompOsed vegetable
manure, adding a few hundred pounds
to the acre of air Stacked lime except
| in sections where there was plenty of
| lime in the soil. l had no lime, but a
portion of the field had a little thor
oughly decomposed yard manure, and
that section was best. / think the sue
cess l have obtained was due, first, tC
intense cultivation and, second, to the
nitrates which were in the fertilizer
sown, but it would be well to remem
ber that high grade fertilizer contain
ing nitrates cannot be used after the
plants come up.-George NJ. Clarke

COUGHS A. COUGHING.
Natures Method of Clearing the Air
Passn ges-UseIess Coughs.


Natures Methou of Clearing the Air |
assages-UseIcss Coughs.
A cough was intended by nature as |
means of removing some offending |
substance from the air passages, and
as such it is of the greatest protection.
If the irritation of the mucous mem
brane of the larynX and bronchial
tubes, caused by the presence of some
strange body or of the usual mucous
secretion in too great quantity, did not
excite the eXpulsive act which we call
coughing we should be in constant
danger of suffocation every time we
had Il slight attack of bronchitis or
cold in the chest.
If a cough were occasioned only in
this way it would be most useful
measure, ana there would be no more
need for cough mixtures than for rem
edies to arrest breathing, but the hui
man machine sometimes gets out of
order, like any other mechanism. The
wires get crossed, and a message sent
from some distant organ, like the liver,
for example. may get switched over to
complex series of movements produc-
ing cough. This center, receiving
stimulus from somewhere, responds
just as if the message came from the
| larynX, and a cough is established.
This Liver cough" does no good, and
the sooner it is stopped the better.
Again, tic. mucous membrane of
some portion of the air tubes, instead
of secreting too freely. may become
| dry. The nerve center is warned me-
chanically that there is something irri-
tating the lIrynX OF bronchial tubes,
and it starts cough to get rid of it.
This cough, too, is useless. and worse
than useless, for it serves only to irri-
| tate still more the inflamed mucous
membrane.
Cough may also be excited by alb
normal conditions in the nose, ears
or gullet or may occur as a symptom
Of disease of the heart, kidneys OF
nervous system. In such cases it is
the endeavor of the physician to arrest
the cough by discovery and removal
of the cause, if possible, or, if this
cannot be done. by the administration
of cough remedies.
In cough due to dryness of the mu
couS membrane of the air tubes thu
remedies employed are those that viii
promote Il flow of mucus to moistel
the offending part. This can sometime
be accomplished without medicine, b.
the Inhalation of the vapOr rising iron

Hang u plummet and line from the top

center on the crossbar by reversing
the triangle and make groove or fine
cut in the crossbar for the center, so
there will be no mistake. Raise one
end of the triangle one-half an inch,
make a fine mark where the plumb line
then hangs. That will show u grade of

A New Year Word to Young Men.

So live that your afterself-the man you ought
to be-may in his time be possible and actual.
Far away in the t~wenties, the thirties of the
Twentieth Century, he is awaiting his turn. His
body, his brain, his soul are in your boyish hands.
He cannot help himself. What will you lea We for
him? Will it be a brain unspoiled by lust or dis
s~ipation, a mind trained to think and act, a ner-
vous system true as a dial in it's response to the
truth about you? Will you, boy, of the Twentieth
Century, let him come as a man among men in
his time, or will you throw away his Inheritance
before he has had the chance to touch it? Will
you let him come, taking your place, gaining
through your experiences, hallowed through your
Joys. building on them his own, or will you fling
his hope away, decreeing, wantonlike, that the
man you might have been shall never beADavid

For me the winter old,
The live stars splintered light,
The shrill winds cold that scour the void
Through the wild tempestuous night!
I love the rafting hail,
And the snowfakes tempest-sown,
The woods in mail that creak in the gale,
And the night winds baritone!
Now songs that the soul inspire,
And tales as the twilight falls,
While the cracking fire leaps higher and higher,
And the shadows dance on the walls!
Or no! for the frozen streams,
And a sweep on the silver floor
That, winding, CLEANS meath the stars white
beams
Far into the woodland hoar,
Where the great owl calls to you
From deep in the hooded pines,
tu-whoo p where the witches brew,
And the moon belated shines.
Season of strenuous mirth,
Hail, with your wealth Of cheerl
Your deepest dearth doth hold the birth
Of the buoyant, brave New Year!

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

The secret of culture is to learn that a few
great points steadily reappear, alike in the pow
erty of the obscurest farm and in the miscellany
of metropolitan life, and that these few are alone
to be regarded-the escape from all false ties;
courage, to be what we are; the love of what is
simple and beautiful; independence, and cheer

the wish to serve, to add something to the we'll

AGRICULTURAL FEATURES OF THIS NUMBER

OC6A @%6& OCA60 0c 4n4o NOADGCAs
Captain Petty is never anything but practi-
cal, and his gardening advice this week will be
found especially helpful. We regret that press of
cotton matter made it necessary to omit his de-
partment from our last two issues.
Professor Massey rings true in his letter on
"What Cotton Farmers Should Do" He ham
mers away very effectually to prove that the
South should grow other products as money
crops" besides cotton. If Iowa finds it profitable
to grow hay as a money crop on $50 land, why
should not North Carolina farmers with a larger
yield Fer acre find hay a good money crop on 500
land? As Professor Massey says: eff but ten mil
lion acres were planted annually, and every acre
made to produce a bale of cotton, the farmers
of the South would soon be the richest people in
the world, while with thirty-fve or forty million
acres in cotton, and twelve or thirteen million
bales made, they would soon be dead-broke if they
depend on cotton alone" This is true, and with
a bale per acre, there is money in cotton even at
present prices. And we ought to come to.the time
when it will be considered a disgrace to grow less
than a bale per acre in a good year. Adopt the
rotation described on page 8.
That is a very interesting letter on terracing
sent in by "Catawba," and we are going to take
the liberty of printing what the writer says in a
private note to the Editor: 1T send you to-day
some thoughts on terracing, suggested by an ar
ticle in The Progressive Farmer written by DR..
Freeman, and by the last Bulletin. This subject
properly understood and practiced will be worth
more to North Carolina than any - million bale
cotton crop; but the work, to be ~effectual, must
be right and we want to be right and then go
ahead"
"Growing and Feeding Sweet Potatoes" is one
of those practical letters from practical farmers.
such as we like to fill the paper with. Remember
when you see anything in The Progressive Farm
er you wish to know more about, write to us; when
you see anything in The Progressive Farmer you
can tell more about, write to US.
"Buy An Incubator" is the good advice given by
Mr.. Kester in his article on page 8. We should
like for our readers to report their experiences
with all kinds of improved farming implements
and appliances.
It will be worth any farmers while to send for
the chronological literature mentioned by Mr..
Sherman in his letter this week. If you are trou-
bled by insect pests, it will be we'll to attend to
this at once.
Mr.. Kivett joins Mr.. @. G. Moore in urging
the Importance of keeping farm accounts. It is
one of the best new year resolutions a farmer can
make, and it is not too late to begin even now.
The cotton situation is again discussed in sew
eral excellent articles. We are glad that the coun-
ty meetings Saturday were so we'll attended and
we look for a great State meeting here to-mor-
row.

but it Ought to be perfected and made more eff

curing the solicitors from the various districts
to diligently prosecute violators of the law and all
exceptions to the operation of the law should be

Perhaps no other subject to come before the
Legislature will attract so much attention as that
of repeating our present lax divorce laws. Nearly
all our religious organizations have urged the
necessity of such action; and in this recommen-
dation Governor Aycock heartily concurs. A re-
peal Of all laws creating causes of divorce other
than those that appear in The Code of 1883 is
advocated. at is better" says the Governor,
"that a few individuals should suffer from being
unhappily married than that the public view with
reference to the ~solemnity and rermanence of the

into lightly, but when it is once entered into it
