A BIT OF HISTORY.

Il seems remarkable that a forage
Plant that mas been cultivated since
the first twilight of civilization should
be SO little known in the South. 1t
was a familiar plant to the Egyptians.
Medes, Assyrians, Persians, cTea.ss
and Romans and no doubt grew on
the plains Of Mesopotamia and sup
piled berbage to the fiocks of Nebu-
chadnezzar. II has been long known
in France and Italy under the name Of
lueerne. The Moors introduced il into
Spain in the eighth century, and called
1t by its Arabial name, alfalfa (best
kind Of fodder. Hhe Spaniards took
1t to South America; from Chile it was
carried to California in 1853. and from
thence eastward to the Mississippi
river and to the regions beyond. It
was brought from Europe to New York
as early as 1925, but it did not give
satisfaction. and its cultivation was
practically abandoned
Alfalfa is a leguminous plant akin,
botanically, TO clover and cowpeas, and
1t has the power Of assimilating nj
trogen from the atmosphere throgh
tubercles on its roots, and so improves
the soil upon which it grows. Unlike
clover and cowpeas. it is a perennial
plant, and will grow for many years
upon the same land without reseeding.
Clover is biennial, and must be re-
sown after two crops have been pro-
duced. The cowpea is an annual The
great advantages which alfalfa pos
sesses over any other forage plant is
the number Of cuttings that it viii
bear every year and also its perma-
nency.
Generally the most desirable situa-
tion for the growing Of alfalfa is a
well-drained river or creek bottom
high enough to escape overfiows
Standing water is fatal to the alfalfa
plant, and it viii prove fatal if the
water table under the plant rises to
within a few inches of the surface
Any soil that will produce a good crop
Of corn will grow alfalfa. provided all
ways that it is not subject to inunda-
tlons.
After all, if it can be shown that the
thinner soils of the south may be
made to grow successfully this valu-
able plant. 1t will be a gain worth
millions of dollars to our Southern
States.

IMPROVING THE FARM.

Every thoughtful farmer wishes to
improve his farm. just as the business
man wishes 10 improve his business so
that IT shall become more valuable
each year.
Some farmers seek to increase the
value OF their farms by adding acres,
Others by building new barns or new
! fences.
There are farmers who become poor
er with every quarter section they add
to their farm. They have more acres,
but the original homestead is more in
differently cultivated, and the little
details in keeping things UP are neg
lected The children and wife, as well
as the farmer, are enslaved to pay for
the last quarter section bought, and
the home farm is not worth as much
as an investment as it was before, be-
ing mortgaged to secure the payment
on the latter purchase.
New barns and new fences are not
the only things that improve farms.
Sometimes their addition to farm
makes the lack of other improvements
more apparent. Again, not every
farmer is able to build new barn
when he thinks he needs it, but this
should not prevent him from making
improvements each year-should not
prevent him from keeping up the i'm
proyements, so that each year his
farm would sell better than the year
before should he wish to dispose of it.
Many dollars could be added to the
selling value of the majority of farms
by single days work with man and
team. On many farms this addition to
the selling value could be made for
several days in succession in the same
way-simply cleaning up an outhouse
and barn, making firewood and scrap
iron of all wornout wagons and inn
plements and all other trash that can
be used that way. All other rubbish
that cannot be burned should be carted
into some draw or water course on the
farm, where it will make a dam and
save tons of valuable soil. If the farm
er is so fortunate as not to have such
a soil depleter, let him take plow
and scraper and make a trench deep
enough to bury the trash below the
reach of the plow when blowing the
field-dump the unsightly things,
scrape the soil back and let them rest.
So much done, the Improvement of
the farm win be so great that more
will be apt to follow A few trees
doubtless will be planted or the old
ones trimmed; perhaps steps made SO
the front door may be entered-and is
it too much to suggest that coat or
two of paint would add five times the
cost to the selling value of the house?
And if money value doubled. how much
greater will be increased those values
which are measured by the sense OF /
pleasure and of pride in the home, the |
esthetic enjoyment and moral uplift |
and all the other comforts and joys |
which troop with beauty and culti- /
waited taste Then the front fence
would have to be Strengthened up or
taken down-let the Improvements /
once begin and keep going on and it
will not be long before old passers-by /
viii have to look the second time to
locate themselves. and newcomers will
say, What pretty place; wonder If
it could be bought?"

HOME DAIRY.

II you are going to treat the butter
maker as well as you would like him
to treat you and your fellow-creamery
patrons in a manner becoming to part-
ners engaged in the same business
and having common interests, don't
begin keeping your milk in the barn
az cold weather comes. Don't Keep it
IN the cellar nor in the kitchen, but
keep It in water. You may think 1t
difficult to keep Il from freezing. and
place the milk tank inside a tight box.
and so arrange the outlet as to have
the water stand trine above the sur
face Of the milk Make d good honest
effort for one whole winter to keen
your milk in the only proper place and
experience that satisfied feeling that
comes from doing thing right.

ADVANTAGES or FARM LIFE.

To make success OF anything you
must believe in it, and farm is no
exception. After carefully consider
ing the advantages and disadvantages
Of the different professions. one turns
with enthusiasm toward the farm.
with its boundless opportunities for
good and its natural barriers against
evil.
The beauty Of life is the least mo-
lested. the lessons Of life are most
soundly taught, surrounded by the ST.
lent. yet eloquent. manifestations OF
God and nature, such as you viii find
on farm
In town the individual life IS CON
stantiy surrounded by a swarm OF
trifing personal affairs. which added
up, give a minus quantity for grand
total; the home life is merged into
the club and society: the children be-
long to tho neighborhood
The inspirations OF life come TO us
from within when separate from the
atmosphere Of others It IS the true
poetry Of life when we feel ourselves
growing soutstrong by listening TO
the myriad voices around us.
The seclusion afforded BY rural
places is SO well adapted to this soul
culture, we have It chronicled that
single solitary stroll has been the
occasion OF a deathless poem.
Knowing this wait for no one to

truths, for their name is legion.

there, and when you leave it, II you

shine and its sense.-Mary b. Harper.

OUR NATIVE APPLE.

Almost every section Of the United
States has some peculiar Towering
tree or shrub that is its especial pride
and glory. Throughout the upper Mis-
sissippi valley there is nothing that
een compare in exquisite beauty and
fragrance with our common wild crab
This tree, botanicaIly known as Pyrus
ccronaria. has its eastern limits on the
western boundary Of New York, but
grows in greatest numbers and reaches
greatest perfection In the states along
the Father OF Waters. from Minnesota
to Arkansas.
Naturally it is of spreading habit,
and when growing in the open seldom
attains height of more than twenty
five feet. but, surrounded by other for
est growth. often towers up for more
light, to a height OF thirty or forty
feet. The foliage, serrated on the mar
gins, is Of dark, glossy green on the
upper surface and In spring when the
tree is covered with its loose corymas
Of large, rose-colored blossoms, from
which the most enticing but delicate
perfume is waited, it is impossible to
imagine anything more perfectly love
ly.
As an ornament for the lawn or
shrubbery the crab apple has not been
fully appreciated, and as the country
is becoming more closely settled and
wood lots cleared for cultivation and
the moving and cutting of the road
sides committed to ignorant men. who
do not make any distinction between
valuable and pernicious growths, there
is much danger that this beautiful
a5orlgine may be utterly exterminated.
II is easily transplanted and will grow
on hill or in dale, singly or in groups,
ard some varieties do not send up
troublesome suckers at all.
Landscape gardeners and florists. as
well as others who are interested in
the preservati y OF our native fora,
should give ihis matter consideration
and do their part toward preserving
and multiplying this tree tor the bene.
fit Of future generations.

other vessel and climb on board OF Aer.
Anime. who had been surprised at the
noise on deck. had come out and had
taken Philip by the arm.
Trust TO me-the shock" said
Philip. He said no more; the cut
water Of the stranger touched their
sides; one general cry was raised BY
the sailors OF the Utrecht-they sprang
to catch at the rigging Of the other
vessels bowsprit. which was now point
ed between their masts They caught
at nothing-ncthing- there was no
shoek-no eoncussfon Of the two yes
sels-the stranger appeared to eleave
through them; her hull passed along in
silence; no cracking of timbers: no
falling Of masts; the foreyard passed
through their mainsail, yet the canvas
was unrent: the whole vessel appeared
to cut through the Utrecht, yet left no
trace Of injury-not fast, but slowly,
as If she were really saving through
her by the heaying and tossing OF the
sea with her sharp prov. The strang-
er's forechains had passed their gun
vale before Philip could recover him
self. ~Aminei" cried he, at last; "the
Phantom ship NY fatherl"
The seamen Of the Utrecht. more
astounded by the marvellous result than
BY their former danger, threw them
selves down upon deck; some hastened
below. some prayed; others were dumb
with astonishment and fear Anime
appeared more calm than any, not ex-
cepting Philip; she surveyed the vessel
as it slowly forced its way through;
she beheld the seamen on board her
coolly leaning over her gunwale. as if
deriding the destruction that they had
occasioned; she looked for Wander
decken himself. and en- the poop Of
the vessel, with his trumpet under his
arm, she beheld the image of her
Philip-the same hardy, strong build,
the same features. about the same age
apparently; there could be no doubt it
was the doomed Vanderdecken.
"see. Philip" said she; "see your
fatherl"
Even so. Merciful heavenl it is
it is" and Philip. oYerpowered by his |
feelings. sank upon the deck.
The vessel had now passed over the
Utrecht; the form of the elder Wander |

ALL ROUND BUTTERMAKERs.

If butter maker is to accomplish
the greatest good for his creamery and
win an enviable reputation among his
patrons, he cannot be altogether
specialist. He cannot devote all his
energy to an effort to get his butter
to score one point higher, but must
use some Of his energy in furnishing
his patrons first-class pasteurized skim
milk. He must be an expert in run
ming the separators, for one point lost
in skimping amounts to more than one
point lost on score. He must be a
careful fireman and a careful machin-
ist, for waste in fuel and extras are
an absolute loss, while it is lamentable
but true that, under present condi-
tions, butter that scores 96 brings but
little if any more than butter that
scores "a. He must be a good-natured
critic, but not crank, who can re-
fuse unwholesome milk without Civ
ing offense. Deliver us from the one
sided Pathfinder and chronic grumbler
and give us the broad-gauged all
round, general purpose buttermaker.

TO MAKE HENS LAY IN WINTER.

In planning the winter campaign
with the hens, the first consideration
is the poultry house. Examine it care
fully; give it a thorough cleaning and
whitewashing and carefully batten all
cracks to keep out the cold. In some
cases it is good plan to bank up the
building with earth for height Of two
or three feet.
Cover the floor with straw or chaff
which should be renewed at least once
a week. This covering is for two pur-
poses-to keep the hens feet warm
and to furnish exercise by making
them scratch for their grain. which
should be scattered in the straw
For the morning feed give the hens
a mash made of a mixture Of bran.
shorts and corn meal. chopped clover
hay and little condition powder in
the form Of red pepper. This should
all be stirred up with enough hot
water to make a thick, crumbly mass.
1t is a good plan to put in a handful
of broken plaster for every ten hens.
If you have no broken plaster make
mortar the sar as for mason work
and let II harden, then break 1t up.
Give the hens only as much of this
mash as they will eat up clean in
short time
Al noon give them some cabbage,
beets or turnips OF any kind Of green
food to keep them busy. Feed them
their grain (wheat or oats) toward
evening and let them scratch in the
straw for it. Vary their feed once in
a while by cleaning out the horses
manger and giving the char to the
hens to scratch over.

There would no doubt be much more
corn fodder saved were it not for the
trouble in loading and unloading the
heavy stalks. To avoid this, nave
long frame built for your wagon, with
a solid floor. Then put the front
wheels on front axIes. This will cause
the rear end Of the frame to reach
nearly to the ground, and the leaders
can step on it and walk forward with
their arms full. Begin loading in front
and load backward.
