Mr.. CIark,s Alfalfa Crop.

Here comes my fourth crop of alfalfa
of 1907. On the 18th of June was my
first on 8 1-2 acres, second crop July
1lth, third crop, August 10th, the fourth
crop Sept. 18th. Less than inches OF
water had fallen during the growth of
the three last crops. Since the fourth
crop was cut there is plenty of water.
The fourth crop was in the barn Sept.
2lst. 1t is now the Goth, the fifth crop
is fully inches high. The field was
seeded June 3, 1905, two crops first year,
four crops next, this year up to date
four crops, the fifth is growing.
have gone over the field every time
Immediately after the crop was removed
in two directions with my Double Ac-
ton Harrow set at light angle, except
this last crop I set the harrow at a
stronger angle and went over it in three
directions. Have sown little more
alfalfa seed every time and with the
narrowing have made a more perfect
stand.
l used decomposed yard manure for
the first three crops this year but
found that when decOmposed yard ma
nure is put on the field Immediately
after cutting the crop cannot harrow
enough to get best results, that is, when
| it is dry, so that after cutting this last
crop used bone and nitrate of potash in
equal parts. 1t is doing we'll, In fact
the field is in the best condition since

The more l cultivate the better II

the largest Of the season.

Elmwood Farm Sold.

The noted farm at Poland, built up
BY Mr.. j. s. Sanborn, where so many
valuable experiments have been carried
on and so much good stock raised, has
lust been sold to wealthy gentleman in
Boston who is already preparing to
stock it with cows aud hogs, making
cream for the market and feeding the
skim-milk. Since DR.. Twitchell took
charge the prod uction of hay has been
increas ed to over two hundred tons and
with such herd as is now planned this
must be greatly increased.
The Farmer is gratified that this farm
is to be still further improved and since
the above was in type we have learned
that recently Mr.. Clifford, the new
owner, with DR.. Twitchell, visited Win
throp and purchased of Bailey Bros. q
choice new milch cows to be shipped to
the farm Wednesday. This is the be-
ginning of herd of 100 to supply skim
milk for 200 hogs. This will build up
the farm rapidly. Recently the noted
stallion Gemare was at the request OF
the heirs, laid to rest on the top of the
high hill back of the house. Many who
read this will deeply regret that age
made necessary the step.-Maine

Winter Is Coming.

II is hard to realize that the summer
Is ended, but unless we do realize it and
accordingly make prompt aud practical
preparation for winter the cold weather
will find us unprepared and cause much
trouble and annoyance if not positive
loss.
Gull out the fowls very closely now
because cold weather will make house
room very valuable and the good hens
should not have their right infringed
upon Improbable members. Hens
more than three years old will scarcely
lay enough eggs this winter to make
their retention profitable. Dispose ol
all surplus male birds whether old OF
young. Don't carry any more through
the winter than you will have to have
for use as breeders.

The AppIe Situation.

The Farmer fears that Maine growers
of apples do not fully understand the
shortage of the apple crop of the coun-
try and the consequent sharp demand
for the same. As a result contracts
have been made at lower figures than
the outlook clearly warrants, and less
than is being paid in other apple pro-
ducing sections Of the country. The
quality of our Maine standard winter
fruits is accepted as equal to that of any
other section of the world, and there can
be no question but sooner or later the
market demand will correspond with its
recognized value. Maine fruit has been
pronounced small this year, but recent
conditions of moisture and temperature
have been favorable for its growth, aud
as a result rapid improvement in size
has been made in the last three weeks.
1t is business privilege for buyers
not to tumble over each other in their
haste to offer the highest possible prices.
Instead they first canvass section, as
has been done in this state, and gobble
on to the crop of such timid growers as
they may find, who instead of studying
up the situation and getting posted on
prices, accept the first offer made, as has
been done in several cases in our state.
All lots that can be secured at under
values are thus captured before the SELL
ers learn the real state of the market.
Outside of this state contracts for the
crop of fruit still on the trees have been
made at prices above any yet reported
here. Latest sales indicate the price
level fully maintained. Many sales in
western New York are authoritatively
reported at three to four dollars per bar
rel for the ones and twos right through.
W. S. Perrine, one of the widely known
growers of Centralia, ILL.,, writes the
Boston Cultivator that he has sold his
apples, ones and twos together, at $3.50
per barrel.
In all Maine, west of the Kennebec
river, there is full average crop of
apples. Not barrel of these standard
winter varieties, well sorted, need be
sold for less than So 0c. The situation
is such there can be no danger of any
prolonged slump in prices as the winter
advances. We feel safe in taking this
strong ground. All growers of Maine
winter apples are in position to get
good money out of them if they will but
keep pOsted.-Maine Farmer.
