Hnudljn. Alfulfn's Crop,

Methods of handling the alfalfa crop
from the time of seeding until it is In
the barn in the form of weu-cured hay
are given by the Wisconsin Station bull
letin. In brief, it is as follows: The
best soil for alfalfa is n rich clay loan
over a gravelly SubsOil. 1t Is best on
well-cultivated soils. If the nitrogen
forming bacteria are not in the soil,
the soil should be inoculated Spring
sowing is the best Where ground is
inclined to be wcedy use a nurse crop,
barley sown at the rate of three packs
to the acre being the best. Thin seed
ing Of the nurse crop is preferable.
Twenty pounds Of alfalfa seed per acre
is recommended. The year following
the seeding three good crops of hay can
be expected. Cut when about one tenth
Of plants are in bloom and on a morn
ing after the dew has disappeared on
a day that promises fair weather. Cut

afternoon Of the day cut, rake and put
into small cocks These cocks can be
covered with light cotton duck caps
and left until the hay is thoroughly
cured

BIRDS KILLED A SNAKE.
Contest in Which Reptile Had Small
Chance for His Life.

Ed Neal and his sister, Miss Jessie
Neal of Alma, tell a strange story and
vouch for the truth of it. They had been
spending the last month with their
father Younger Neal, at their old home
in the country near Alma, and one day
last week they We're out driving when
they saw in the road i'll front of them
n large snake of the kind known as the
coach whip.
Stopping the horse in order to kill the
snake. they discovered that pair Of
mocking birds were flying at and strik-
ing the reptile with their heaks, first
from one side of the road and then from
the other. They watched the battle. as
they call it, for something like half an
hour. when the snake entirely ceased to
attempt to avoid the angry onslaughts
Of the enraged songSters.
Ed Neal got out of the buggy and go
ing to the scene Of conflict found that
the snakes head was almost severed
from its body. The neck just back Of
the head was cut down to the skin on it's
throat, and when he picked it up the
head fell down limp. The snake was
dead. 1t measured 90 feet. and seem
inGly had just swallowed half-growu

The Rural Home.

So important has agriculture become
to the nations prosperity that Presi-
dent Roosevelt recently appointed a
commission to sr~"est means to make
the rural home ...ore attractive and as
sist In keeping young men on the farm
Many Of the conveniences that add
comfort to a city home could be in
stalled In the country residence.
The farmer possesses an advantage
over the majority of residents in cities
in that he owns his own home and is
nominally the dictator of his surround
ings. In cities dwellers are crowded
into apartment buildings for the want
of space for private residences and to
secure economy in living expenses. The
owners of apartment houses have in
stalled steam heat, porcelain bath fix
lures, gas stoves, electric lights and
maintain the apartments at great ex-
pense on account of the costly fixtures
and the frequency of repairs. The ten
ant forms no attachment to his home
and is ready to change his residence
when other apartments are discovered
that more fully suit his fancy.
In the country the rural home is
permanent and all it's improvements
are cOnSummated with q view to the
future as well as the present genera
ton In no other profession does the
home dweller enjoy the work Of his
hands as in agriculture IF man is
what he makes himself, so the rural
home reflects the owners idea Of beau
ty and convenience. With the land pro-
ducing increased crops and agriculture
al products selling at record prices the
farmer can afford to adorn his home
and improve it with many modern and
sanitary appointments.
The water supply may come from a
shallow, inconveniently located well
and the supply may be contaminated
by surface seepage containing the mi
crobes of typhoid fever and other dis
eases. The water supply is the great
source Of health, cleanliness and con
venience on the farm. Tubular wells
are ptIllulltHl HUu VI cUtuI tDliS IL w
ton and their depth furnishes living
water free from germ diseases. With
n windmill and tank the water can be
piped into the house at small expense
and a supply furnished at all times by
turning the faucet. 4 hot-water heat
er can be attached to the stove and
hot water provided without additional
expense for fuel.
With ample grounds beautiful
lawn could easily be arranged with
ornamental trees, flowers and shrub
berry that would outrival the homes of
city dwellerS. With the installation OF
modern cOnvenences at small expense
rural homes can be made ideal for
comfort and thus stimulate content
ment among the younger generation to
follow the greatest of all professions.

A French contemporary points out a

correspondent writes the Winni-
peg (Man.) Free Press: "The Pinch
err Creek District (Southern Alberta),
the original home Of fall wheat, where
it has been grown without failure, dry
seasons and wet, for about % years,
is excelling itself this year. The yield
and quality are both phenomenal, as
has been the weather for it's harvest
ing. Forty bushels Is common yield,
and many fields so up to 80, GO and
over, and most of it No. l Northern.
Even last year, which was less favor
able. similar yields were in some cases
obtained, but owing to the season the
quality was not so good. 1t is PROB
ably safe to say that the average yield
from the Old Mans River to the boun-
Diary will be A. or 4S bushels per
acre, and mostly No. / Northern. One
man has just made net protit from
his crop of $3.50 per acre, or little
less than the selling price of land.
Land here Is too cheap at present,
when a crop or two will pay for it,
and a failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do WELL also stock and
dairying. and there is large market
at the doors in the mining towns up

The wheat, cat and barley crop in

farmers of that country (and many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana

trict advises us that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
it about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 100
acres in addition to his 100 homestead
acres, at $500 an acre, and also how
to reach these lands into which rail
ways are being extended. 1t might be
interesting to read what is said of that
country by the editor Of the Marshall
(Minn.) Messenger, who made
a trip through portions of it in July,
1908. Passing through more than
three thousand miles of Western Can
ada's agricultural lands, touring the
northern and southern farming belts
of the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskat-
chewan and Alberta, with numerous
drives through the great grain fields,
we were made to realize no. only the
of the crops, but the mag
nitude, in measures. of the vast terri
tory opening and to be opened, to
farming immigration. There are hun
dreds of thousands of farmers there,
and millions of acres under cultivation,
but there is room for millions more,
and other millions of acreage avail
able. We could see in Western Can
ada in soil, product, topography or
little that is different from
and with meeting at every
point many business men and farm
ers who went there from this state, it
was difficult to realize one was beyond

Value of Farm Products,

There are about 100000 farms in
the United States. In 1907 the value
of the products from these farms was
S,1l2,O 100000. The average for each
farm is about $l,O5S. This means gross
products whether consumed ON the
farm or sold in the market

COWS. It Is not square meal and does
not produce the best results for the ex-
pense. The contrast is especially strik-
ing in the peach orcharding. The ma
nure-fed tree is rank and green, but
weak and short-lived. The tree fed on
chemicals, with not too much nitrogen,
looks less rank, and the bark and limbs
are more like those Of an apple tree In
appearance, so firm and close is their
texture. They last from two to four
times longer than the overrank tree.
Produce Prices Going Higher.
From the figures of a report by the
bureau of labor there has been ex-
tracted the interesting fact that sale
prices of nearly everything reached n
higher level last year than at any time
during the last eighteen years, and the
farm produce leads all the rest.
The bureau divides the 2JS commod-
tiles of the country into nine groups
and farm produce showed the highest
increase in price attained by any of
Il =
ure OF the report is that the panic OF
last year did not affect prices Of farm
stuff very much. In fact, taking every
thing sold, the farmer got more money
in 1907 than the average of ten years
before.
Som farmers may not know this, but
it is true, because Mr.. PoWderlys bu-
reau says so. Aside from the musty
figures Of q departmental report, the
fact is evident that the farmers of this
country are more prosperous than they
have ever been. 1t is shown in better
houses, bigger barns, fattcr bank ac-
counts, fewer mortgages. better ma
chlnery, and, more important than any
thing else, higher standard of living
for the family.
There is one small fly in the ONT
ment, however. and that IS the fact
that while farm produce has been rails
Ing in price, clothing. implements, lum-
Der and building materials, house fur
nishing goods and some other things
farmers must buy have gone up, too.
But as these commodities have not
kept pace with the advance In the
price Of things the farmers have TO sell
they may on the whole feel that they
are gaining ground and that agricul-
ture is not to be despiSed.
