Hebrew poetry has power over our

When one sees or reads Hamlet or
Macbeth" or King Lear" one is alb
sorbed In the distress and suffering, but
behind the absorption IS the sense OF
detachment from real affairs Uncon-
sciously we feel that we can afford to
take part by imagination In the suffer

To understand and appreciate the
poetry Of the Old Testament one must
remember that IL is always real. The
sufferings or the Joy or the faith is
the experince OF real men uttering
forth the depths OF their soul. The
poetry had always the direct and prac-
teal purpose OF unburdening real feel

Even in Job the apparent form of n
drama is the thlnnest OF masks for the
deep and real feelings which lie under
meath. The book is not an effort OF the
author TO imagine how such a man as
Job, suffering such trials. would have
felt, but rather the expression OF actual
distress over the hopeless plight Of his
people. The mental fortunes under
which Job writhes are therefore those
of real people In real and narrowing

CULTIVATION OF ALFALFA.

Alfalfa may be seeded either fall
or spring. Fall seeding may be
done any time after the 18th of
September until the 1st of October.
and spring seeding from March
10Th to May u, depending largely
on weather conditions and the
elevation above sea level. Alfalfa
grows well on quite a variety of
soils, but prefers a porous one
through which its roots can easily
penetrate. 1t is well adapted
to river and creek bottoms that are
not subject to prolonged overflow.
and though more difficult to estab-
fish, it does we'll on stiff red clay
lands that have been made suiii-
GENTLY rich and friable through
deep blowing and subsoiling, the
turning under of an occasional
green crop or liberal top dressings
of farmyard manure.
Land intended for alfalfa NAV be
summer fallowed or cropped with
cowpeas to rid the land of weeds.
which frequently destroy it. Crab
grass often chokes out alfalfa, hence
the advantage of seeding in the fall
In many sections of the South. A
friable seed bed should be prepared
by frequent and thorough cuItiva-
ton. This point cannot be empha-
sized too strongly. Top dress the
soil with 500 to 20OO pounds of lime
per acre, and ten days later apply
200 to 300 pounds of high-grade
acid phosphate and 80 to 100
pounds of muriate of potash per
acre. Broadcast and work into
the surface soil with a harrow.
The soil may be inoculated by
artificial cultures or by an applica-
cation of 200 to 400 pounds of soil
per acre from an old alfalfa field
or field in which sweet clover has
grown for several years. From Is
to 20 pounds of well selected seed
should be used. Great care should
be taken to see that it is free from
weeds, dodder and trash. Dodder
may be taken out of alfalfa by run
ming it through sieve 20 meshes
to the inch. The seed may be
mixed with earth so as to insure
It's being scattered uniformly over
the ground. 1t may be applied
broadcast or with a grain drill or
barrow seeding in the fall is ad-
visable, and after the alfalfa is well
up, top dressing of so to 70 pounds
of nitrate of soda will often prove
profitable. A similar dressing
after growth has started in tie
spring is often advisable on lands
that are not well supplied with
humus.
Fall sown alfalfa may be- cut for
hay the next spring but should not
be pastured before the second sea
son. Cut when just coming into
bloom. If sOwn in the spring
frequent clippings the first season
are advisable. There is no crop
that can be grown on the farm more
