Growing Alfalfa.

When first commenced to
grow alfalfa it was hard
matter for me to get good stand. l
tried to grow it on land undertake by
an impermeable subsoil, and soon
found that this would not pay. Alfalfa
does better in fields not to be passed
through, and to have good success in
cultivating it, the subsoil must be in
a frst-class condition. I also find that
the fields should be we'll drained, as
it will not stand flooding ofsstagnant
water. It is better, I think, not to
pasture alfalfa, as the yield of hay or
green fodder will he larger than that
which has been pastured.
When an alfalfa field is pastured
the stock tramps down the soil,
which binders its growth. And I find
that when the stems are grazed the
stalks die down, and Of course the
shoots come from the upper part Of
the root, and this is one reason that
l do not believe alfalfa fields should
be pastured. The stems of many
other forage plants when cut branch
out above the ground, forming shoots
that grow up and take the place of
the old stems, but with alfalfa the
vitality of the roots may be much i'm
paired if the young stems are grazed
as fast as they appear, because the
new growth comes from the roots.
Alfalfa requires clean ground, and
should not be sown on weedy fields,
as weeds can easily crowd it out. Al
falfa should be cut for hay when the
flowers appear, for if we wait many
days after, the stems become tough.
The yield of hay is not so large, but
the quality is a great deal better than
that not cut so early. On an average
I make from three to three and "a
half tons of hay per acre on some of
the land which is adapted to it's cult
walton. break the ground and fer
tilize it with lime, which holds the
land. In curing alfalfa make it up
in piles five or six feet high and watch
it carefully to keep it from heating
and molding. always cut the second
crop for seed. If alfalfa hay is stack
ed in the field it should be covered
with a hay cap as it will not turn
water. My average yield Of seed per
acre is from five to eight bushels, and
as there is always good demand for
alfalfa seed all farmers should grow
it. S. Underwood, Johnson Co.,

Only one of these counties has held
its convention. This is Clinton, which
instructed its full delegation of TWEEN
ty-seven for Cummins. Five years ago
Cummins carried all the Second dis
trict except ten delegates from Clin-
ton county, SO that the full gain of ten
delegates these this year is velvet thus
far In only one other county, Musca-
tine, have conventions been called.
Muscatine will meet June 8.
The other counties will hold conven-
tons about the same date or a little
later and this, it is argued, Is advan-
tageous to Cummins, because it is so
hard to arouse the citizens of the
river counties to realization of the
fact that campaign is in progress.
Friends of Cummins in the various
counties, however, are already at work
on house to house and office to
office canvas and they report that the
district will line up for him solIdly
as it did in 1901.
The action in Clinton county Is taken
as evidence that the rest OF the as
trict will support the governor Tor
denomination.

FEW REAL BIRDS SEEN ON HATS

Birds.
Special to Times Republican.


Des Moines, May 9.-"The people of
Iowa are unduly exercised over the
question Of bonnet plumage. The stat
ute enacted by the last legislature will
have absolutely no effect whatever on
the sale and use in Iowa of birds and
the plumage of birds for millinery pur-
poses
This was the statement of James *.
Stuart, representative of large east
ern millinery house. who is stopping at
the Chamberlain in this city.
The anti-bird issue has become quite
warm in all parts of Iowa since the
adjournment of the legislature. Mrs.
Elizabeth Jones, secretary OF the Iowa
Humane Society. and other officials OF
local societies thruout the state have
declared that birds and wings on hats
must go after July 4, the day the new
law goes into effect According to Mr..
Stuart, there is nothing In 1t.
Il have secured a copy of your new
law" said Mr.. Stuart, land have stud
led it very carefully. In the first place
there is no penalty for wearing the
skin, body or plumage of any bird of
any kind The penalty applies only to
people who offer the bird or any part
of It's skin, body or plumage for sale
and to common carriers who transport
them into or thru Iowa.
'sThe women who already have hats
adorned with plumage or birds. or who
buy such hats between now and July 4.
have nothing to fear. Even II they buy
them after the law goes into effect.
they still cannot be touched, because
there is no penalty for the person who
buys, only for him who sells. Talk of
a humane officer going about town ar
resting women who have bird plumage
on their hats Is pure rot. They will
do nothing of the kind.
Now, here is another thing I want
to say: After July the milliners
win continue to sell wings, feathers.
tips. heads. etc. just as they have in
the past. for the reason that they can
do so without violating the law. Attic
but few people know 1t, practically all
bird ornam ents for hats are made from
chicken feathers or chicken skin with
the feathers still on. Everything ex-
cept ostrich feathers Is made by dying
and trimming chicken feathers. Bod
les of birds and even heads are uni
versally artificial, made from the skin
of domestic fowls. stretched over woods
en- models. This has been demonstrate
ed to congress and to several legisla-
lures and ] suppose when the Iowa
law is tested it will be proved here.
Less than one -hundredth of 1 per
cent of the plumage or bodies of birds
sold is anything more than chicken
feathers and chicken skins. Chickens
are not protected by the Iowa statute"
