WATCH THE ALFALFA SEED.

The demand for alfalfa seed is sure
to bring into the market a great deal
of Door seed, and one might as we'll
understand that it will be impossible
to get anything like a stand when old
and impure seed is sown. Good e
should run from 30 to 95 per cent. pure,
and should terminate say 80 to IS per
cent. The usual amount sown per acre
is fifteen pounds. Seed which is 95
per cent. pure and 95 per cent. will
grow, at Is cents per pound, would cost
about W per acre, while seed which is
~ per cent. pure, and terminates only
" per cent, at Is cents per pound, would
cost $500 per acre. 1t is a fact thai
inuch or the alfalfa seed coming onto
the market is very poor stuff, and not
5o per cent. will grow. Don't fool with
dark colored Or shrunken alfalfa seed.
GOOD seed has a light green color, and
when alfalfa seed becomes dark or
PACK not 10 per cent. will grow. The
dark color indicates dead seed.
another thing to look out for when
puy1ns alfalfa seed is impurities and
authorizations. Trefoil, bur clover and
sweet clover are used as ad~ulterants.
n common impurities are buckhorn
and dodder. 1t is not an easy matter
TO detect these deliberations and i'm
purities, and h safest plan is to buy
SEED from dealers who are willing to
give a guarantee covering both purity
and vitality. The state experiment
statlon Will no CUB test any seed.
Mlthout cost to residents of the state.
Inc writer will test for adulterants any
samples of alfalfa sent in by readers
OF this paper, but cannot undertake TO
make vitality tests.

WINTER FEEDING sTuFFs.

During the last few years various
commercial dairy foods have been sold
to dairyman at from S22 to $50 a ton.
The basis of many of these foods is
ground alfalfa, so it would appear that
many have been paying rather high
prices for ~foodstuffs, which he ought
tt raise himself. Many dairymen have
been slow to give up wheat bran and
use alfalfa, mainly because bran has
always been held as the greatest WIN
ter milk producer of any Of our food
stuffs. When good wheat bran could
be bought at $12 a ton there was no
urgent ICED of finding a substitute, but
now bran sells at $40 to S21 a ton. and
it is a good time to do some figuring.
1t is estimated hat one and one-half
pounds of alfalfa hay is equal to one
pound Of bran. The Tennessee expert
show hat with alfalfa hay at
$40 q ton and wheat bran at $40 a tor
there would be a saving of $3.50 on
every 100 pounds of butter il alfalfa
hay is substituted tor bran.

FARM With A PLAN.

The best none crop is the one COM
monty grown on western farms, and
little attention is given to working
out a definite plan or rotation of
crops. For the good of the land every
crop should fit into a well thought
out plan. 1t is me thing to farm
haphazard. putting in whatever we
think is going to be the best money
crop, and it is quite another thing
to plan the crops for the various
fields for a period of years and stick
to it. A good cropping system tends
to keep all the fields of the farm In
prime condition. and besides, will make
sure Of putting crops on the fields
where they will give the highest
yields. The man who stands out on
a working system for his farm and
changes 1t because some particular
crop happens to be away up In price,
Is on a par with the live stock breeder
changes about from hogs to sheep
and sheep to cattle, with the result
that by the time he gets stuff ready
to market prices are apt to be away
down. These rapid fire changes don't
pay. Stick to your system.

A Little Sermon.

BISHOP Thomas Bowman, on the recent
J celebration at Orange of his ninetieth
birthday, spoke wisely of religious tolera-
ton.
The older one grows said the famous
Methodist bishop, 1.-The more one disre-
cards the little. unimportant, useless
Things that separate one denomination
from another. One fixes ones mind on the
great things that bind all denominations
together. And they who, neglecting the
great Things, neglecting charity and up
rightness and honor. wrangle over small
d~enomlnational differences. seem to an
OLD man as absurd as the Taoist and the
Shintoist.
Perhaps you know the story.
a Iaoist-I think it was a Taoist-once
fell down a well. and a Shintoist-or some
such ~person--ran at full speed to his as

"Aghast. the Shintoist poured down
prayers and arguments into the well, but
prayers and arguments alike were Of no
avail with the devout Taoist. The other,
obliged to leave the man to his fate. de-
parted sadly, shaking his head at tho
sound of the grunts, puffs and splashes
which assembled from the blackness far
below.
THE next morning the Shintoist re-
turned to the well. He peered over curl
Dusty. Yes, the Taoist was still there.
The noise Of his struggles still rose up.
"'Ho, brother shouted the Shintoist.

al is WELL replied the Taoist. in a
very weak voice, but I pray you, brother,

The Shintoist threw up his hands in
shocked surprise.
