Too Much Alfalfa.

I am inclined to believe that some
Of us have made mistakes by sowing
too much alfalfa seed. Two years
ago, on our farm, We prepared
twenty acres of land for this crop,
plowing in July after wheat, and
narrowing it eight or ten times, get
ting it into the finest tilth imagin-
able. This made an ideal seed bed.
We sowed twenty pounds of good
alfalfa seed to the acre, and l am
confident that the stand was entirely
too thick. There is a distinct rela-
ton between the amount of seed to
use and the state Of preparation of
the land. I think that on land pre-
pared like that above described ten
pounds of seed would have made an
excellent stand. However, if the
land is cloddy or otherwise in bad
condition, it may be necessary to use
even as much as thirty-five pounds
of seed. Usually it will be cheaper
to put the land in an ideal condition
of tilth and use a smaller quantity
of seed.-W. J. Spillman, in Hoard 5

Calf ScOurs.

Professor Shaw, of the Michigan
College, says concerning the treat
ment OF scours in calves: lone of the
best things we have used and are
using almost altogether with which
10 suppress outbreaks of calf scours,
is mixture of tincture of rnubarb,
camphor and opiate, equal parts in
bot water, about teaspoonful. One
Of the most interesting recoveries 1
have ever seen was about three
weeks ago in the case of a calf that
secured and was so near death the
feet were stretched out cold and
stiff, and there was every symptom
Of deat.-. The calf was treated in
that way twice, then fed with raw
eggs and milk occasionally, and he
recovered. He was the sickest calf
[ ever saw; so sick his hair all came
off after a week or ten days, but he
is one of the best feeders we have
in the bunch to-day"

crops and the labor required for their
cultivation. 1t is a great mistake to
look only to the immediate cash re-
turns regardless of the condition OF
the land after the crop has been har-
vested, for there is great difference
in the comparative values of crops
that exhaust the fertility of the soil
and those which do not exhaust. but,
on the contrary, add fertiiizing e!e-
ments thereto. All leguminous plants
do this and therefore they should be
planted in rotation for the benefit Of
crops that are to follow them.
The sofa bean, which is not well
known in this country, being from
Japan, contains more protein and fat
than the cow pea. One Of the advan-
tages with both crops is that the
vines are highly relished by cattle
and where crops are grown and hogs
turned in to do the harvesting, the
results have been very satisfactory,
and the land improved. Those who
have grown the sofa bean commend it
highly. 1t has but few beans in a
pod, while the cow pea (Which is
really BEAM has half dozen, but
the sofa bean has many more pods
than the cow pea. The SOFA bean
grows from two to four feet high
and ripens about the first Of October,
but if the vines are preferred for hay
they may be cut down about\ the lat
ter part of August. AS much as forty
bushels of seed per acre have been
grown on good land, under favorable
conditions. There are several varie-
ties, the dwarf kinds being mostly
preferred. The sofa bean is. quite
hardy and can stand a slight touch
of frost, but the cow pea thrives only
under climatic conditions favorable
for garden beans.
1t is better to procure seed of the
sofa bean grown in the North, If
possible, as the seed from very far
South is not well adapted to the
Northern climate. The growing Of
the sofa beans and cow peas widens
the farmers privileges by giving him
two crops rich in seed and vine and
of qualities that serve to assist him
in winter when variety Of food may
be necessary in order to keep the,
stock in thrifty condition. Canada
has made her field pea a leading crop
for years and greatly to her adyan-
tage. With cow peas and SOFA beans
our farmers can grow better foods
with no additional expense than from
grain crops, while the soil can be
greatly increased in fertility by plow-
ing under the vines, especially If lime
is also used on the land.-Epitomist.

Practical Poultry Points.

If hens lay soft-shelled eggs, it is
= good indication that they need
lime, and supply should be kept
where they can help themselves.
Whitewash the hen house ire
quently. Lime will not only arrest
disease to a certain extent, but de-
stroys lice, also i'll odors, and gives
a neat, clean appearance to the place.
Have movable perches, they are
more easily kept clean.
Plant sunflowers in the waste cor
ners. They are said to be valuable
in warding off malaria, and they GER
tainly furnish, in their seed, fine
dessert for the poultry in winter, es-
pecially the laying hens.
Place the mother hens coop in, or
near, the garden, so that the little
chices can help you in your warfare
against insects. They are too small
to do any harm by scratching, and
by having the run of the garden they
will very materially lessen the raw
,ges by insects there.-American
Sultiyator.

COMPANIES ASK FOR TROOPS
And General Bell Refers Them to. the
Governor of Arizona.

Representatives of the telegraph
companies called upon General Bell,
chief of staff, at the war department
in Washington Wednesday in relation
to the attack upon the non"union tel.
egraphers at the relay point at Ash
ford, Arizona, Tuesday. They desired
the national government to provide a
military guard at the point to protect
the operators against another attack.
General Bell pointed out that under
the constitutional limitations, he could
not respond to any such direct appeal
from the companies.
Their recourse was, be Informed
them, to appeal to the governor of the
territory, and if ne decided the troops
were necessary it would be his duty
to call upon President Roosevelt, who.
General Bell said, would no doubt hon.
or the request.

FertiliZine Value of Glover.

A speaker at Wisconsin farmers
institute calls attention to the fact
that clover has big value as fer
tilizing crop. For Wisconsin there
is about eight dollars of fertility in
a ton of clover hay, and it is worth
three-quarters of that in manure
after it has been fed. Therefore, if
an acre yields two tons OF clover hay,
having a feeding value of SIG, and it
IS fed on the land, so that s12 of fer
tilizer can be returned to the soil, a
value of SIS would be realized, and
in addition there wor'd be one-third
Of the crop in the ground, which
would remain in the soil to fertilize
it, supplying the important element
of humus.-Weekly Witness.

Beautify the Farm Home.

Every farm home should have a
lawn regardless of the size Of the
farm and Of the dwelling. There 3
nc more enjoyable place to live than
in comfortable farm home, which
is snugly surrounded by beautiful
lawn and shade trees A pretty lawn
and shade trees are necessary luxu-
ries within the reach Of every farm
er The cost for trees, plants and
grass seed is comparatively nothing,
while the benefits and pleasure to be
derived are considerable. # farm
homes and farm life were more at
tractive and pleasant, there would be
less trouble encountered about keep
ing the children On the farm. More
over, pleasant surroundings have an
uplifting effect upon character, es-
pecially those of immature persons.
A farm house may appear small and
uninviting in treeless yard, but If
it were to be surrounded by lawn,
a few ornamental or fruit trees, there
would be a decided change for the
better and the same place would be
made to appear cozy and cheerful.
And it only takes few trees and
some grass to make the change
Those who already have lawns and,
perchance some shade trees, should
endeavor to make the lawn still more
beautiful. Provide better trees and
more of them if there is plenty of
room. Replace those old cottonwood
and soft maple trees with better and
more beautiful ones. There is moth
ing better for both landscape effect
and windbreak purposes than hardy
varieties of evergreen spruce, pine
and fir Many farm has a tidy and
comfortable appearance because such
trees are set wide apart in the lawn
and associated with arbor vitae
hedges that are properly trimmed
and cared for. Fine towering and
foliage shrubs are cheap and plenti-
full these days and should have a
place around every farm home. But
it is by no means necessary or de-
sirable to crowd the lawn with trees
and shubbery; indeed one of the first
principles of correct landscape gar.
dening is to reserve wide expanss
of lawn, placing the shrubbery main.
ly in masses in corners.
After trees have been set out in
the lawn, the matter should not stop
there. The highways would look
much better il the owners of. the
farms would set out some good trees
along the roadside. Of course they
should not be set so close together
that they would shade and sap the
fields too much for the good of the
crops. But a row of hard maple, elm
or black walnut trees, set at regular
intervals, IS a valuable addition tc
every farm. And besides improv.
ing appearances, the trees may b,
utilized sometimes for wire string
