my farm every year. and afterward

twice during the summer, first shallow
afterwards deep and no weed allowed

as possible when cutting the first crop,
and is burned the following spring,
drilled directly afterwards. and har-
rowed after drilling. This gives much
better result than fall -ploughing.

FEEDING ALFALFA HAY.

While we believe alfalfa to be all that
is claimed for it, no one should believe for
a moment that it is u perfect food for
stock and for pasture; it is not always u
safe food, although horses DO not seem to

For COWS and sheep alfalfa has its best
value when fed as hay in connection with
some other %roughage. 1t is rich in protein
hence gives the feeder AN opportunity to
feed protein much more cheaply Than in
any grain. AS n pasture for hogs alfalfa
is all that is claimed for ii, although. like
rape, ii gives the best results when it is
alternated With some other pasture. If
the soil is in good condition. that it. has
been properly inoculated for alfalfa, about

EcoNoMlzlNe ON SEEDS.

Regular readers of this department. know
the opinion of the writer on the question
OF cheap seeds and particularly when seeds
are bought at Il low price from Secdsmen
with 10 particular reputation. Such seeds
are generally worth even less than is paid
for them because there is the loss. partial
or total, of the crop which cannot be COM
puted. 1t is considered by those who are
in Il position to know that if the soil is
capable of producing a good crop it would
be cheaper in the end TO pay double the
regular prices for seeds than to take the
risk of buying seeds even a tritlc less in
price. Sometimes one may cconomiZc to
advantage by the proper selection Of seeds,
as for example when red clover is to be
seeded some none may be saved by buy
ing one-third the quantity of alsike and
two-thirds of red lover seed. The com
bination crop is more desirable than all
red clover which is selling this spring
at from 50 to $40 Il bushel for first grade
seed. Better a smaller area of any one
thing put out than Il larger area when
the cheap seeds are used, for the chances
are the smaller area will give YOU the

FOWLS FOR THE FARMERS WIFE

This may seem strange advice from q
poultryman of twenty odd years expert
ence, but we really think it is the best
thing that nine out of ten farmers could
do, particularly when they have the idea,
SO many of them have, hat fowls are not
worth the room they take up. Just as in
flower raising, a woman can get more out
of a flock OF poultry than a man and 90 it
with less effort and With less training.
Why this is SO is probably because she
gives the necessary care to the essential
details just as she does in raising tender
plants. 1t is not to be inferred that farm
ers cannot succeed with poultry, TOR they
can IL they are willing to give the bust
ness attention, but if not they should turn
it over to the wife and daughters. How
ever, bear in mind that the ladies should
not be expected to do the dirty work OF
poultry raising; have some of the men do
this in return for the extra eggs they
will have to eat. This disagreeable part of
the work taken out OF the business and
the women given some decent stock as a
foundation. they will succeed n~inety-nine
times out of Il hundred. Make a business
arrangement of it, by the way. and let
the women have the money they earn 10
do with as they please. Don't make it an
other case of 'Bobby's calf and fathers j
cow"

USES OF CALIFORNIA. PRlvET

Those who know something of the Cali
fornia priret think of 1t almost entirely as
one OF the best and most attractive OF the
various plants used for hedges and partic-
ularly around the homes of the wealthy.
There are too few plants of California
priVet on farm grounds and there is no
good reason for the omission of the plants
are moderate in price, are almost sure to
grow anywhere except in the very far
north without winter protection. and can
be utilized in a number of places. If there
IS a portion of the house grounds to he
divided nothing makes a more attractive
DIVISION fence than this privet. 1t is also
an IDEAL hedge to plant around a chicken
yard, setting it outside the wire fence and
W It TO grow breast high before
pruning it into form. In this way the
plants form shade in summer and are a
windbreak to some extent in colder wealth
er. With one good hedge started on the
farm one can soon nave all the priyet
needed II the cuttings are rivetcd in the
ground. which may be readily done. Pull
down the old picket fence between the
nome grounds and the road and set urivct
mus getting the start so that later more

MARKETING CLEAN EGGS.

Recently the statement was made b,
one who is supposed TO be an authority
that water on the egg shall hastens de-
composition. In other words he claims
that the shell of an egg should never lie
washed for il will absorb enough moisture
TO hasten its spelling. After many wears
oil marketing eggs the writer cannot Who'll
~ agree with this statement. 1t is prob-
ably true that if an egg was allowed TO
SOAK i'll water for even five minutes its
Keeping qualities would be impaired. but
mat washing an egg seriously Injuries ii is
nonsense. Those who market eggs to
critical customers know that soilcd eggs
are far from salable. Look over the eggs
when they come TO the house and with a
cloth wipe them clean using another cloth
which is dry to polish the shell. There is
no danger that this will iniure the keeping
quality of the egg. Only a week ago

ANOTHER BEEF SCHEME.
Swift & Co. are Caught in a Ne "
Offense.

A queer situation concerning the
relationship between the beef prod
ucer and the packer exists in Neb-
braska, and the fact that Swift &
Co., of Chicago, who have just issued
q statement explaining the increase
in the price Of beef by saying that
the producer withholding his stock,
has forced an increase on the live
stock market and consequently in
the retail price to the consumer, are
themselves, actual producers of beef
adds interest to their statement
that ''the range cattle producer is
the master of the situation"
Swift & Co. have feed yard in
Norfolk, where they are fattening
cattlefor the Chicago market, and
early this week they shipped four
train loads to that point. They
have also feed yards in many olher
Nebraska points. At Pierce they
are feeding large number of cattle
as well as ut Meadow Grove. The
same condition prevails in u. large
portion OF the South Platte country.
The name under which the Swift
people operate their feed yards is
"The Illinois Cattle Company but
it is the Swift interest nevertheless

with other packers, in the so-caled
