Keep the SOIL we'll stirred.
Sow winter beets and rutabaga tur-

Hoe the lima beans and train them
on the poles if necessary.
For early ripening Of the tomatoes
keep the side branches trimmed off,
and to prevent rot support the plant
by tying to stake or trellis.
Be on the lookout for bugs on the
melon plants. Keep the ground well
stirred and sift tobacco dust on the
vines or cover them with mosquito
netting.
Layer the squash vines, covering the
joints with fresh earth to prevent the
borers killing them out
Keep the weeds out of the straw.
berry patch.
Don't cut asparagus much after the
third week in June. Clear out the
weeds, stir the soil and apply CONNER
cial fertilizer or manure.
It is of no use to think that contin-
uous crops can be produced without
continuous effort. When one crop is
taken off the soil must be dug as deep
" as in the first instance and fertilizer
used as for the first crop.

ALFALFA HAY.
Culture and Curing as Practiced In
Different Regions.
By A. S. HITCHCOCK.

BY A. S. HITCHCOCK.
Alfalfa should be cut just as it Is
beginning to bloom After the begin
ming of the Towering period the hay
deteriorates rapidly in nutritive value.
If the field is fairly uniform the prop
er stage for cutting is when about one
tenth Of the plants have reached the
towering period. The number of cut
tings varies from two or three in the
north or at E.gh attitudes in the noun
tain; to as many as ten in the irrigated
districts along the southern border
from California TO Texas. The yield is
from, ore to two tons per cutting, the
d;st cutting being usually the largest,
Tut the J.eid per cutting, especially
for cuttings after the first, is usually
less when there are several cuttings.
Harvesting should take place with as
little handling AS possible in order to
prevent shattering the leaves.
Handling 1t For Kay.
In the arid regions the making Of
hay from alfalfa is Il very simple
process. The air is SO dry that the
hay moved in the morning may be
raked a2l stacked IN the afternoon OF
the same Gay IN more humid climates
there is more moisture in the air, the
green alfalfa is more SCccuient, anu
the curing process must extend over a
greater length of time, With danger OF
heavy showers or dew wetting the hay.
Where alfalfa is especially succulent
the curing process may be FASTENED by
the use of a hay tedder. When the hay
is sufficiently Cry it is rackej into
punches or cocks.

Doesn't Fay to COddle Alfalfa.

II an alfalfa field is in bad condition
it is usually best to pillow up and re-
seed. 1t scarcely ever pays, at least
where irrigation is practiced, to coddle
poor stand of alfalfa. Many growers
recommend disking every spring, even
when the stand is good, and some have
even found it paying practice to disk
after each cutting. Such disking will
often prevent the encroachment Of
weeds. In the eastern states alfalfa
fields sometimes suffer check in their
growth, tend to turn yellow and other
wise show a sickly condition. Often
times this condition is accompanied by
an attack Of alfalfa rust or spot dis
ease. The best remedy for such con-
dition is to now the field. The vigorous
growth thus induced may overcome the
diseased condition

siAMMER!NG CURE FOR FAT.
Kew Mallets Helped stout Man to
Reduce His Weight.

'Mew Mallets Helped Stout Man to
Reduce His Weight.
Townsend Burnett Baldwin of the
Pennsylvania railroad, member Of
the New York Yacht and other clubs,
who formerly was very stout, returned
to New York from Europe the other
day looking as athletic as a football
player, says the New York Times.
When Deputy Collector John Castree
Williams asked Mr.. Baldwin how he re-
duced his weight the railroad man
smiled and said:
Il invented the remedy myself and
here is the prescription: Every night
IOr months, when the time for all good
citizens to be in bed came I wrapped
two or three blankets around me. Then
j lay fiat on my back. Near by I had
two big mallets such as marble cutters
use. Taking a mallet In each hand. l
began to pound myself and kept it up
for half an hour or more Then l re-
moved the blankets and went to sleep.
The mallets, not the blankets, did the
work. I only used the blankets to
lessen the force OF the blows It is a
fine remedy and is just as good for
rheumatism as it is for undue fat"
