cause not all Of the roots will be gath

be killed right where it is, the roots

pillow shallow-just deep enough to
turn over the quack roots, bottom side

go over the field with the double ac-

few days repeat the narrowing and
keep at it, going over the field at in

is all destroyed 1t is no use to think
that if the field be gone over, perhaps

will be killed, for the sun, as we'll as

Alfalfa for Pasture.
Alfalfa has not been used to any
great extent in the Eastern States for
pasture. For cattle it is known as
dangerous pasture, on account of its
tendency to produce bloat, and cannot
be safely used unless the animals are
kept on it continually For sheep and
swine it furnishes the best of pasture.
There is, however one drawback to
the use of alfalfa for grazing pur-
poses, on account of its liability to be
tramped out by the stock pasturing on
1t. 1t may be that after alfalfa comes
to be more commonly grown that it
will be found valuable for pasturing
purposes, but as yet it is grown prin-
cipally for hay.-Farm and Fireside.
