Alfalfa as a Weed killer.

Alfalfa as a "eeu Killer
Probably no other crop, without a
single exception, presents so many
characteristics Of value. AS 1t Is stud
led more and more, and as new expert
ments are made with it In different
capacities, its wonderful capacities be-
come more and more manifest. A very
eminent authority has discovered that
1t Is a weed eradlcator Of unfailing
power. This will seem like contradic-
tion to readers who have been eau
toned about weeds, and which Will
prove more destructive to alfalfa than
any cOmbatable influence. Neverthe-
less 1t is strictly true that the plant is
the greatest destroyer of weeds known.
This comes not so much from any quail
ity contained In the alfalfa plant, but
from the inability of the weeds to en-
dure having their heads cut off so
many times In summer close to their
feet. The most strenuous weed soon
will succumb to this harsh treatment,
while the alfalfa plant will thrive all
the better the more 1t is cut. If weeds
can be kept back from choking the
young alfalfa plants until they, the al
falfa plants, are tall enough to be
moved, the question of weeds In the
particular parcel of ground is settled.
Therefore, 1t is wise to select weedy
piece of ground for the alfalfa field,
but before sowing the seed every pre-
caution should be taken to kill as many
weeds as possible. This can best be
done by simply following the oft-re-
peated injunction to thoroughly pre-
pare the seed bed before sowing the
seed. If this be done, and the tract
narrowed and rolled after plowlng at
a time when the tiny weeds begin to
show green over the field, and again
just before time to SOW, there will be
the cleanest field on the farm before
the year is out. There are many weed
infected farms and many farmers who
have despaired Of ever getting rid Of
the weeds. Alfalfa suggests the means
of riddance.-C. NJ. Ginther in Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

Annual


Such an immense sum being well
worth the saving, the department has
in its employ large staff Of men who
are studying the life history of the
pernicious insects to find out where
they are vulnerable.
The work has been going on for some
years and much progress has already
been made. The cotton worm which
formerly levied an annual tax Of $780,
100000 on the cotton crop, is now con-
trolled by sprays; it has been proven
that the ravages of the Russian fly
which sometimes have reduced the
wheat acreage in Ohio 40 per cent and
in Indiana go per cent besides greatly
impairing the yield Of the remaining
acreage, can be considerably checked
by planting wheat at seasons when the
fly is not so rapacious; the coddling
moth is controlled by arsenical sprays
and $20,000,000 worth of apples saved
as a result.
The orange and lemon orchards of
California have been relieved of the
white scale which threatened to de-
stroy them, by the importation from
Australia of the ladybird, a natural
enemy of the scale. Many other in
stances could be given of the wisdom
of watching the insects.

Cfder-Making.

fhe Apple Specialist, In answer to
an inquiry, gives the following instruc-
tions how to make cider and keep 1t
sweetA
I'm order to make cider the juice
must be extracted from the apples.
This is done by grinding the apples
into pumice and thus pressing the
Juice out The pumice is laid up in
hoops and held in place by old sacking
made by ripping gunny sacks. 1t is

The cider works out through the sack.
ing and Is caught in a tub. Hand ci-
der mills are made that are excellent
for the work, and sweet cider may be
had at any time. Their Is no way to
keep cider sweet without racking 1t off,
drawing 1t from one barrel to another
several times, letting 1t run through
several thicknesses Of flannel to take
out the sediment. 1t must be allowed to
run very slowly so as to keep all sedi-
ment in the bottom of the barrel. When
thoroughly purified the barrel must be
plugged tight and kept in a cool place.
By boiling and skimming the cider it
will keep sweet, but has a slight cook
ed taste. We have made thousan nds of
barrels of cider and have tried all
kinds of schemes to keep 1t sweet and
have found nothing equal to racking
off. 1t is slow process, however, and
unless we'll done will not prove effect
ual."

Annual Losses Due to Insects.
If the power of the mosquito had
not been proved to us beyond a doubt,
we would be inclined to regard the es-
innate of S7OO,OOO,OO0 annual loss to
our farming interests caused by in
sects, which has been made by the De-
partment Of Agriculture as too start
ling to be true. The following table
shows the basis Of the calculation:
The new age., 1907-02-02


1t Is we'll known that fine, dry dirt Is
one of the best of absorbents and dis
infectants. 1t is also plentiful, and
costs nothing but the labor of han
ding. 1t makes excellent bedding, If
covered over with a few inches Of
straw, and it really keeps the cows
clean, even when used in the stalls
without straw, as 1t is easily removed
from the hair with a brush. A stall
bedded with dry earth can be cleaned
out in a much shorter time than when
the earth is not used, and, as dirt alb
serbs the liquids and gases, quite a
saving Is effected in that manner. Its
use goes beyond the stall. AS the sta
BILE should be cleaned daily, quite a
large quantity of dry earth will be
used in the course Of a year, and 1t
will necessarily be added to the heap
itself, yet Its presence therein will
double the value of the manure by pre-
venting loss Of fertilizing material. 1t
is a better absorbent than straw or
corn stalks, and is easily handled when
the manure is hauled to the fields.

A circular by the Illinois Station en-
phasizing the Importance of studying
the production of individual cows con-
tains records for one year of eighteen
dairy herds In Illinois, including 221
cows. The average production was g.
616.99 pounds off milk and 226.63
pounds of butter fat The best herd
averaged 350.17 pounds Of butter fat
and the poorest 142.05 pounds. The
best ten cows averaged 3SS.75 pounds
of butter fat and the poorest 10, 0,109.42
pounds. 1t Is believed that at least
one-third of the cows In the ordinary

HAPPENINGS

In one of the most enthusiastic and
exciting contests ever rolled on the
Y. NJ. G. A. bowling alleys, the
Orphans five-man team defeated the
Tiger champions last night and by so
doing won the honors In the five
man bowling tournament which has
been waging for the past two days.
The Orphans won by margin of two
pins and the victory was greatly due
to the excellent work of McRnl, who
made an average for the three games
Iof 1876 pins, the highest three game
average record of the season.
There were seven teams entered the
tournament. However, practically all
dropped out of the contest, but the
Orphans and Tigers who. were the
last to bowl last night. At the
close OF the second game. the Tig-
ers were just one pin behind the Or
phans, the latter having 1877 total
pins. On the last game hinged the
fate Of either team, but the Orphans.
nervy us they are. rallied to the oc.
casion, and with set determination
bowled as they never had bowled
before. Hundreds of spectators, en-
thusiastic to see the Orphans win,
sent up cheer after cheer and victory
was assured. In total pins, upon
which the tournament was based, the
Tigers made 2411 and the Orphans
2413.
Preceding the Orphan-Tiger contest,
the Olympias and Americans bowled
a series of three games. resulting in
the Americans scoring 22O9 and the
Olympias 2039.

Placing stamps Wrongly.

"The only way to stop people from
plsstering a stamp at any old place
upon the envelope. except the right
one, Is to do as is done in England.
There letter which does not have
the stamp in the right position is
cast aside and handled only when
all other mail Is sorted and ex'
changed" This idea was advanced by
q postal clerk. I'VE often lose con
siderable time because Of these let
ters,' continued the clerk, "for often
we have to stop and turn over an EN-
velope to find the stamp. The worst
offenders in this respect are not for
eigners, but those who have lived
here for years"
