AS to the alfalfa in the first paper it was said
to succeed with it the soil needs to be well in
oculated with bacteria. Mr.. Bacon said he is
glad that Mr.. Ensor has succeeded in getting a
stand of alfalfa and is pleased with it, He thinks
ensilage and alfalfa are important feeds and
every farmer should aim to have them.
Mr.. Ensor said. on sowing alfalfa he lost much
seed and damage by heavy rains. but he reseeded
the vacant spots and the~grass grew there. Al
falfa seed sells at IA cents per pound.
As to the latter article remarks were that the
emphasis placed on cleanliness of COWS and
stable is much appreciated. Dust ought not to
come from the COWS and the grooming of them
should be attended to. When special care is
exercised in getting pure and thoroughly clean
milk then those who get big prices for the milk
are entitled to them. 1t was said the average

to curry and brush the cows; also that when
cows continue getting dirty in lying down they
should be gotten rid of. Mr.. +. G. Scott made
reference to the perfect stables and cleanliness
in handling the milk at Mr.. Samuel M. Shoe
makers Burnside Farm, in Green Spring Valley.
Mr.. Bacon-expecting to SOW 20 acres in cow
peas-said he hardly knew what kind is best to
SOW, although the Wonderful is recommended.
He wants to SOW some in the ensilage corn, but
the greater acreage will be only peas. He has
heard of the growing of them in corn adding to
fertility and giving increase in the quantity of
the corn as much as two barrels per acre.
Mrs. Ensor had the assistance of her daughter
Miss Sallie B. Ensor, and Misses Lizzie Bosley,
Mary Armacost, Anna Pearce and Grace Sham

Timanus to see Mr.. Snavely, and the Mayor
also strongly approved of the idea.
