TO Hasten Replanted Corn,

L. s. Patterson in Farm and Ranch
thus tells how tc hasten replanted
corn:
Drip the strongest kind of liquid
manure, and soak the seed in it two
days and night before planting. Check
the land 3x2 feet, drop the corn two to
three grains to the hill, put one good
big handful of manure or rotted cotton
seed ON the corn, and cover lightly. If
land is strong, leave two stalks to the
hill, otherwise one. AS soon as corn is
well up, which will be but few days,
have the replant corn soaked two
days and nights, or until germ is Just
about out. Go over and carefu'ly re-
plant every hill, one grain to hill. very
shallow. ] will guarantee every hill of
,replant will make just as good corn as
your first planting, and your yield will
be increased 25 to 30 per cent. Liquid
manure will stimulate termination and
your corn will come up with n move
on 1t. Cultivate quickly and repeated
~. If you cannot pillow it, harrow 1t
until large enough to pillow.
Alfalfa Valuable Feeding Plant.
Probably the best summing up of tile
value of alfalfa to American farmers is
in the bulletin on the subject issued by
the Experiment Station of Wisconsin,
which follows: Alfalfa has practically
the same feeding constituents, pound
for pound, us good bran, and should be
regarded MS an equal to bran when
used as a feed for stock. Alfalfa Yields
three times as much protein per acre
as clover, and nine times as much pro.
tein us timothy" Taking tile two state
ments together, they are of special sig
nificancc to dairymen, whose greatest
need is the supplying of protein in the
food to the cows ut the smallest cost
possible. Leaving aside the fact that
the crop when once established can be
gathered several times during /; single
ting value for years, the protein value
of 1t is enough to make any dairyInan
take notice and to warrant him in max
ing greater efforts than lie ever before
made In growing a feeding crop, to
grow alfalfa. 1t is not denied that in
some localities and on some soils it
seems almost impossible to get a stand
of alfalfa, but unless conditions are
wholly unsuited to the crop it will pay
to try and try again until success
comes, for, all things considered, 1t is
by far the most valuable of all feeding
erops OF forage nature grown or
srowAhle on American farms,

How to Get ria Of .Mole..

An Indiana writer says that 1t Is
easy to get rid of moles. He states:
The moles do their work in daytime,
from 8 in the morning till - noon. L
want no trap or poison. l go out In
The morning and tramp the dirt down
in the runs, and when the time comes
for them to go to work go and look
for them and keep very still. When
/ see one raise the dirt, jump on
him with my heel and stamp the ground
SO hard that he can't move. Then l
call my dog and have him dig him out.
In a short time have the dog hunting
moles in the same way. Also teach the
children to hunt them; offer a penny
for each scalp, and in short time
there will not be mole on your, place.
/ live where plenty of moles are, but
they don't bother me.

Artistic garden beds have earned u

reason for them 1t has all vanished.
The best way TO grow garden vegetables
nowadays is to grow them in long rows
so they can be easily cultivated by hand
or wheel hoe. Plant rows extending
across the garden, arranging the varie-
ties so that other and later crops can
take the place of the early vegetables.
