symptom is usually a little

SOIL BENEFITED
BY ALFALFA CROP
Three or Four Cuttings During
Season Enriches It..

When a plant furnishes an abundant
crop. such as alfalfa, with three or
four cutting during a single season, II
is but natural to think that 1t will
greatly exhaust the soil. Nothing is
more erroneous. Instead of taking
strength away from the soil 1t puts
more into 1t; instead of exhausting II,
the fertility is increased The pene
trating powers of alfalfa roots are
we'll known. The roots are constantly
growing and decaying thus adding to
the "humus" of the soil. The strongest
point in favor of alfalfa as a soil i'm
proven IL its remarkable nitrogen
gathering ability. The roots OF al
falfa are full of the small nitrogen
tubercles which represent bottled up
vitality to plant life and il has heei
proven by frequent experiments that
increased yields were the rule when
paintings of any kind of crops had
been made on ground infected with nj
trogen bacteria.
Under these circumstances the
spread OF Alfalfa fever" is no wonder
With splendid crops OF highest priced
hay on top OF the ground, with the
roots working as perfectly natural fer
tilizers under the ground, farmers can
do nothing better than to plant alfalfa.
The truth of this statement may be
realized and verified If one but takes
time To look up statistics and reads
about the marvellous increase in the
acreage of alfalfa In Kansas alone
the acres sown to alfalfa Increased
from approximately $4,000 acres In
1891 TO more than $4,000 acres In
1907. II is safe to say that since then
the acreage has increased in proS OF.

VALUE OF THE CoLORED SLIP
With a Number Of These . Good
White Frock Can Be Worn
on Many Occasions.

The girl with little money and a
great need for pretty clothes would
do well well to remember that old but
none the less clever device of using
colored tlips over a white gown.
Girls who could not afford both a
class day dress and a commencement
dress bought nice white frock and
wore IL on class day over a colored
slip, with colored accessories, and usu
ally flowers to match.
BY having various slips, Of lawn or
silk, a good white frock may be worn
upon an endless number of occasions
Besides providing a change of COS
tune, the slip actually protects the
gown and helps to keep 1t fresh.
A thin gown frequently looks better
hangs better, with slip than withou,
one.
There are various accessories which
may be had to match; sash, necklace
or pendant, stockings and even shoes
and. where possible. flowers.
Charming and inexpensive frocks
may be made of white eyelet, embroid

IMMENSE AMOUNT DAMAGE
DONE BY PEAR SLUG
Leaves Cherry and Pear Insect
in Iowa Plant
Entirely Bare.

Last summer many cherry trees in
various parts of Iowa we're stripped
Of their leaves by dull Shiny slug
Pear trees also are attacked by this
pest, perhaps even more than cherry
trees. hence the common name of tho
insect. This slug feeds on the upper
surface Of the leaves. not eating holes
through them. but taking only the up
per portion and leaving the veins bare
Leaves thus eaten by the slugs dry
and fall from the tree and frequently
leave the trees entirely bare of foliage
In Iowa these slugs appear twice
during the season. The first brood
appears in June and the slugs be-
come full grown early In July, while
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1909-09-02

the second brood comes on during the
month OF August. 1t would be best,
then. to kill of the slugs when they
first appear in June, and so prevent
the defoliation of the trees by the
second brood In August.
When the slugs first appear on the
leaves the trees should be given a
thorough treatment with paris green
or some other arsenical poison. Since
the slugs feed openly on the upper
sides of the leaves there need be lit
tie difficulty in combating them. For
only a few trees the paris green may
be applied dry. mixed with air slaked
lime, or even -four; l part of the paris
green to 20 or more parts OF the other
material. For a liquid spray, paris
green at the rate of l-3 or IA pound
to so gallons of water will do the
work. adding about pound of quick
lame to each barrel of water to pre-
vent any burning of the leaves. Ar

.SILAGE PROPERLY
HANDLED HELPFUL
Incorrectly Put Up and Fed II
May BE Expensive.

Silos have been abandoned in many
cases because the milk became so
badly tainted as to become unstable.
II the creameries and cheese factories
were as particular as they should be
they would condemn great deal OF
milk that Is now accepted from silage-
fed herds.
This is not the fault OF the silage; II
Is the fault OF the man who handles IL.
Silage has a very penetratiye odor,
which is taken up very quickly by
milk. II silage is fed before milking
the milk is quite certain To become
tainted. IL the milk is allowed to stand
a few minutes in the barn after milk.
Ing and silage is fed while the cans
are standing around. the milk will be
tainted
II the stable Is not ventilated or is
poorly ventilated the silage odors will
linger in the stable and taint the milk.
In an unventilated stable the stable II.
self will in time become saturated or
permeated with the silage odor and
will taint the milk. no matter how the
silage Ia handled
The corn is frequently cut into the
silo too green. which makes very sour
silage, with a strong odor. The silage
is frequently carelessly handled in the
stable: il is scattered through the
alleys and allowed TO remain on the
floors In such instances the stable
will be scented with the silage and
the milk will be tainted
" s.,od results are expected from
silage II must be properly handled In
the stable First, silage must be fed
only after milking Second the floors
must be kept clean and no silage
allowed to accumulate in tie alleys.
Third. there should not be more
silage fed than the stock will clear NJ
at once. Fourth, the stable must be
we'll ventilated, Fifth, corn should
not be cut in too green. Sixth, dom
feed moldy silage.
From the foregoing II will be seer
that silage must be more carefully
handled than ordinary roughage. On,
cannot throw silage around as he
might straw or hay and get satisfac
tory results.
Silage properly put up and properly
fed is a very cheap and most excel
lent feed.-Prof G. V. Knapp.
