Alfalfa for the Dairy.

Successful dairy farming depends a
great deal on growing the necessary
feed on the farm. City milk men can
buy high priced feeds and make a
profit but farmers who ship longer dis
tances require all the advantage they
can get. Alfalfa is getting to be one
of the most important dairy feeds 1t
can be grown in almost any part of the
country where there is sufficient mois-
ture within reach of the long tap root,
provided that there is no rock to in
terfere with it's growth. If you never
tried alfalfa, commence now by fitting
a small piece of ground very carefully
and make it very rich on top. The new
plants are delicate and require careful
feeding until they get started Most
failures are caused by insufficient prep
aration Of the seed bed

Cement.

There are available for construc'
ton purposes Portland, natural and
puzzolan or Stag cements. says the
Cement Age. Only Portland cement
is suitable for re-enforced concrete.
Portland cement is the finely pulver-
lied product resulting from the calcin-
alton to incipient fusion of an intimate
mixture of properly proportional ar
gillaceous and calcareOus materials. II
has a definite chemical composition
varying within comparatively narrow
limits
Portland cement should be used in
e-enforced concrete construction and
any construction that will be subject
to shocks or vibrations or stresses 9TH
er than direct compression
Natural cement is the finely pulver-
lied product resulting from the calcin-
alton of an argillaceous limestone at q
temperature only sufficient to drive off
the carbonic acid gas. While the lime
stone must have a certain composition,
this composition may vary in much
wider limits than in the case of Port
land cement. Natural cement does
not develop its strength as quickly,
nor is it as uniform in composition as
Portland cement
Natural cement may be used in mas
sive masonry where weight rather than
strength is the governing factor COM
parison may be made between the use
of natural cement and a leaner mix
ture of Portland cement that will de-
velop the same strength.
Puzzolan or Stag cement is the fine
ly pulverized product resulting from
grinding a mechanical mixture of gran
ulated basic blast furnace Stag and
hydrated lime. Puzzolan cement is not

New York Dealers Get Their Oysters

Although there are no glazing post

oyster dealers count September 1 as
the beginning of their years business.
and for the last week they have been
getting their shipments under way for
points as far off as San Francisco.
The demand for oysters since May 1
has been small, and confined almost
entirely to this city. The remainder
of the country, according to the deal
ers is more strongly convinced that
the 81 and the oyster are affinities.
From the seed grounds off Connect

you prefer. If it is put up raw
pack in stone jars. Pour over II
enough spiced and sweeted vinegar
cooked and boiling hot, to cover. After
it is cold. pour melted parafin over
to exclude the air, tie it UP and set
away until it is wanted. This makes
nice crisp relish, and it tastes as
fresh as if it had just been gathered
from the garden. 1t will keep until
it is all used if kept in a cool place
This can be sealed in jars the same
as other chopped pickles if you pre-
fer, but any sweet pickle. either raw
or cooked. will keep indefinitely when
covered with melted parafin. After
the parrafin is removed the pickles
should be used from the jar until
finished, or if some is left as warm
weather approaches it can be again
covered with parrafin or taken out and
sealed up in fruit cans.

Water the Plants

Every living plant in the field is q
water pump, or at least is continually
active pumping the soil dry of water
writes an anonymous writer. These
plant pumps do not work on exactly
the same principal as the common sue
ton or lifting pump, but they do the
work just the same. Their power OF
working is through capillary action, the
same power that draws oil up through
the lamp wick and that makes the
towel absorb water. Every grass
plant, every wild flower and weed, all
shrubs, bushes and vines, and all trees
are steadily at work during the sum-
mer and more or less at other seasons
pumping up the water--day and night
from the ground in which they grow.
Some of this water is used by the
plants themselves for their growing
needs, yet much of it is allowed to
pour out of a thousand little spouts
from each plant, which instead of fall
ing back upon the soil to be reabsorbed
is transformed into a very thin vapor
and floats away in the air to be preci-
plated at some other time and in some
other place. All of this pumping is
invisible to our gross vision but the
amount of water lifted by wild and cu-l
tivated plants over the area of a single
county of a single state in one day
