[Cutting before and after rooting.1
che greenhouse produce the best cut
tings, but in case the stock plants are
not near at hand it is generally adj
visable to transplant them to the
greenhouse, cutting the stems back
close to the ground. Such plants will
give an abundance of good material
for cuttings within two weeks. It is
practicable when the cutting material
is limited in quantity to utilize also
the middle and lower portions of the
stem. In any case two or three nodes
should be included in each cutting, the
lower being near the base to facilitate
roofing. 1t is possible to secure a sec
ond set of cuttings from the original
ones when they have grown to twice
their original height, usually about
three weeks after potting. The upper
cuttings of the original stem are best
adapted to this second series Of cut
tings, as the terminal growth is not
interrupted.
The slips should be inserted in sand,
and when the largest roots are three
fourths of an inch in length they
should be transferred to two inch pots
and later on to three inch pots. The
size which the plants can attain in
such pots without becoming pot bound
will permit them to be transplanted to
the permanent nursery rows, if the
season be suitable, or to an outside
cold frame, to remain dormant till
spring in case the cuttings are made
during the winter. Greenhouse facili-
ties are desirable, though not essential.
It is possible with thirty square feet
of greenhouse space and ninety square
feet of cold frames to secure during a
single winter 1000 plants from an al
falfa plant of average size. In the
northern portions of the United States
the conditions of the weather may be
too severe to permit of transfer to out
side cold frames. In the southern pOr-
ton of the country cold frame protec-
ton may not be necessary, but some
means should be adopted to protect the
plants from other sources of danger
until they can be permanently trans
planted.
The efficiency of the method is
shown by the fact that at least 90 per

porrED ALFALFA IN GREENHOUSE.

cent Of alfalfa cuttings become well
rooted In the pots. The newly ported
cuttings should be watered sparingly
and shaded from direct sunlight for
the first two days. Where it has been
necessary to transfer the plants to cold
frames at Washington in midwinter
the loss has been as high as 10 per
cent owing to the sudden change Of
temperature. Cloth protection is rec
commended, as the plants, having been
grown In the greenhouse, are likely to
be tender. No losses resulted on one
occasion in the transfer Of 1900 plants
to the permanent nursery rows FIVE
miles distant. The tops were cur back
to six inches In height before being
removed from the pots in the cold

SOWING Spring Oats.

AS a rule we much prefer to SOW
oats in the fall, but owing to the con-
tinued rains very few farmers succeed
ed in planting a sufficient area, and
many have failed to SOW any. Now oats
are one of the most profitable crops
we can grow, especially when follow
ed by peas sown for hay. Owing to
the depressed times, the high value Of
foodstuff and the probability Of cheap
er cotton next fall it behooves the
farmers to sow a large area In spring
oats. Put them in as early as posi-

Ennn,er For Cows.

In some feeding experiments with
dairy COWS it required two pounds
more of emmer to produce a pound of
butter fat than It did Of barley or corn,
other conditions being equal. The
COWS made a gain in weight Of eight
cen pounds per head during the period.
They consumed one-third more Of en-
7ner per head daily than did the lots
receiving barley or corn. The COWS
did well on the emmer ration.
