Starting Alfalfa.

There are different ways OF LAYING
down a plot or a field of alfalfa. and
we would suggest the following meth
Cd as one which Is likely to give
very excellent results Select land
having a clean, mellow. fertile surface
soil everything a deeply drained sub
soil having no acid.ty. Use larse
plump seed, free from impurities and
strong In terminating power. lnocu-
late the seed with the proper kind of
bacteria. providing alfalfa has moi
been grown successfully on the land
In recent years.
AS early in the spring as the land is
dry and warm enough to he worked TO
GOOD advantage, make a suitable seed
bed and Immediately sow abolt twenty
pounds OF alfalfa seed per acre from
'he grass seed box placed in front CT
the grain drill, and about one bushel
OF spring wheat or of barley per acre
from the tubes Of the drill. Smooth the
land with a light harrow or with n
weeder, and If it is very loose aud
rather dry, also roll it and again 20
AS soon as ripe. cut the grain and
avoid leaving 1t on the land longer
than necessary. Give tho alfalfa plants
every opportunity to get a good start
" ..H autumn In preparation for the
winter.
II for hay cut each crop of alfalfa
in the following year as soon as it
starts TO bloom. In curing try to re-
tain as many leaves on the stems as
possible. and 10 protect the crop from
rain. Never cut or pasture alfalfa suf-
icienuy close to the ground to re-
move the crowns of the roots and thus
injure or possibly kill the plants. II
these directions are followed, the al
falfa may be expected TO produce large
and valuable crops for a number OF
years without reseeding.-C. A. Zayitz.
