Thinks Alfalfa May Be Beaten.

The more | see of alfalfa the less
use | have for it in this country. Per
haps larger experience will change my
view
Two things | have decided: O
That it is useless to SOW the crop on
land that will produce less than
seventy-fve bushels of corn per acre,
and (2) that its only value in this sec
ton is for green feeding, under sOiling
system or perhaps as ensilage. A
patch of it to NOW and feed green to
milk cows instead of allowing them to
tramp over acres of land to get half
as much feed would, l think, be good
farming.
| may be entirely wrong in my con-
illusions. but | have never yet seen
corn, cOwpeas and clover beaten for
feed crops, and don't believe they ever
will be if we give them the show we
give the novelties.
The permanence of alfalfa was its
only recommendation to me- That
characteristic seems to depend largely
on circumstances, and | really doubt
if it is good policy to let our best pillow
land lie too long unturned. Johnson
grass seems to beat it to death making
feed, and is as hard to get rid of as
alfalfa is to get.

Notes from a Mountain Farm.

A correspondent of the Progressive

We omit several paragraphs of the be-

Importance of a Tool Shed


This season is emphasizing the need
every farmer has for large and con-
venient tool shed. Not lean-to on the
back side of some barn or other bull
ding where fowls will roost on the
tools, hogs bed under them. and cattle
tramp around and among them; where
the tool you want is always behind Il
lot of others and you leave them out
rather than put them away and get
them out
Find the place on the farm where
you must pass with everything, if
there be such place, or as nearly
that as possible. The gateway to the
barn lot is usually such place.
If circumstances will permit, build
the shed right there. Build it across
the line of travel, 20 by 25 feet wide,
as long as necessary, 10 feet if not -
to the plates. Posts along each side
at intervals of eight feet except one
space wider for harvester and binder
if you use one. Use light but solid
truss roof. 1t may well be covered
with steel. Put steel track for roller
door hangers entire length of both
plates, both inside and outside. Hang
doors alternately inside and out. No
fixed siding. no cross partitions.
Doors can all be run to one end, leav-
ing half the shed entirely open, or any
door can be run either way as most
convenient. These hangers and track
will cost bit, but they will not sag
on the hinges nor knock you down if a
gust of wind catches them. Have a
space for each wagon where it can be
driven and allowed to stand either
loaded or EMMY A crab SUSPENDED
from roof truss to hang harness on
makes it handy and beats the rats.)
Spaces for mower, drill, manure
spreader, planter-in short, whatever
tools you use Some of course could
be doubled up, being accessible from
both sides. Hay rake could go in wide
space with harvester, etc. Have at
least one space for plOwS, cultivatOrs,
etc. that can be stored on beam ends
when not in regular use. Length can
readily be added as tools increase.
Would rather have entire shed f1OOred
but if well drained, dirt bottom will
answer Arrange fences and grade
ground so that it will be easier to
put every tool to its place than not to.
Then-Skin the man who leaves one
out. Such a shed will not cost a large
sum, and will soon pay for itself on
any farm.
Be sure to make it large enough.
Give room to overhaul, repair and
paint your tools i'm bad weather. Don't
attach a corn crib, shop, pigpen or any
thing else to this shed. 1t may not be
exactly a thing of beauty, but I'm sure
twill be joy for-many years at

Around the group of Crepuscule l

some choice seedlings. In the fall the

so that in less than a year l knew
just what L was doing.
L have seen quite gentle women,

but in the West it is feeble and the
glowing scarlet flowers sunburn badly
But the seeds of these, grown near this
genial neighbOr, brought plants much
more hardy, with flowers twice their
former size, which endure the heat
much better.
In color Crepuscule is white, with
violet shade, and an extra large pur-
pie carmine eye. l noticed with much
interest the impress made on the
white, for l found some much larger
with most delicate tints of tracery,
which made charming flowers.
In animal breeding, what is called
prepOtency is an important factor, the
parent making a patent impress on
the offspring. This trait is seen i'm

apples, the Concord grape, and many
other fruits exhibit this trait in a re-
markable degree.
