will be astonished to know that the
business of grinding alfalfa hay into
meal has reached the point where
millers organize their business. Baled
alfalfa according to these millerS, Is
going out of the market. while the
ground product has reached an enor-
nous sale.
In the culture of the crop also new
tools and methods are being devised.
In the southwest particularly it has
been found desirable to work the al
falfa over with some shallow working
tool which will chop up the ground
without cutting off the crop, so as to
prevent its sprOuting. A recent bulle-
tin from the Arizona station discusses
this matter. The proper kind of disk
harrow in that country not only
QuickenS up the growth Of alfalfa and
destroys large number of weeds, but
also helps destroy many insect enemies
by turning up their eggs so that they
are destroyed. For some time the or
binary disk harrOws were used, but a
new tool is now being operated. In |
this tool spikes or teeth like those |
used on a tooth harrow are fastened !
to the disk, so that instead of cutting |
he surface, as disk harrow does,
hese teeth chop up and turn over the
surface.

General Farm Items.

Ony good sound apples should be
used for cider.
The amount of humus in the soil in
dicates in great measure its richness
IN nitrogen.
1t is claimed that exposed ma"ure
loses about one-siXth Of its phosphoric
acid and more than one-third of its
phosphate.
A nail can be driven in hard wood
by dipping the point in lard or tallow.
An acre of soil nine inches deep if of
ordinary fertility is estimated to weigh
about 3OO0,OOO pounds and contains
about 1000 pounds of nitrogen, 5000
pounds of phosphoric acid and 6,00O
pounds Of potash
According to late statistics. there are
at the present time 19,746OOO horses in
the United States. This is a gain of
40 per cent during ten years.

The BUSY Bee.

There are 100000 beekeepers in this
country and an annual production CT
honey to the value of $15,O000C0.
Leave all colonies in the best condi-
ton possible for winter.
Don't run the comb honey superbs on
weak stocks; it won't work.
Keep the hive covers well painted.
The body Of the hive needs only little
paint. White is the proper color
In localities where aster, goldenrod
and other fall blooms abound 1t is well
to look for surplus even in September.
Don't keep the honey on hand too
long, as 1t will not bring more than 1t
will during the next few weeks.

given as to the cause. The complaint
is that the chicks either fail to hatch
or, Matching, they fail to live. Why
the embryo should live through the in
cubatiOn period and die before hatch
ing Is a problem that bOthers the in
cubatOr operator more probably than
any other. 1t Is a keen disappOint-
ment to the incubator user to find
after the eggs apparently have pro-
gressed satisfactorily up TO the time
Of Matching that % per cent of them,
more or less have failed to hatch.
This means a large loss to the poultry
man, and If there were no other prob
lem involved In incubation than that
of the chicks dying in the shell it
would warrant extended investigation.
The testimony is very conflicting as
to the efficiency Of incubators. Hatches
as high as 90 to % per cent Of fer
tile" eggs are frequently made and as
low as % per cent or less. Some claim
that the fault is in the stock that laid
the eggs. Others claim that the man
who runs the incubator IS usually to
blame in failing to follow instructions,
and this is very often the case.
An even more serious problem is to
hatch the chicks well. Some claim that
i. is easy 10 hatch the chicks. but hard
70 raise them. some reports are made
% the eEegt that within four weeks
after Matching every chick has died.
AT certain seasons Of the year prOba-
lily - per cent Of the incubator chicks
die The cause Of this great mortality
is usually ascribed TO faulty methods
Of broodiug or feeding. The fact that
the chick may be hatched with i'm
paired vitality has not been recognized
fully. The evidence Of vitality should
not be merely that the chick survives
the brOoding period, but that it comes
to maturity with vitality equal to that
of the parent stock and is capable of
transmitting the same vigor and health
to the second generation.
4 series of carefully conducted in
vestigations at the Oregon Agricultural
college has brought out the following
facts as to the comparative efficiency
of hens and incubators
From $40 eggs set, incubators hatch
ed 533 chicks, or COG per cent.
From 30 eggs hens hatchcd 210
chicks, or 7s.s per cent.
Eliminating eggs broken in nests,
the hens hatched $50 per cent of eggs
set.
The incubators hatched 7S.5 per cent
Of fertile" eggs, and the hens hatched
9Gj per cent
Eggs incubated artihcially tested out
227 per cent as lnfertile, while those
mcuhatcd by hens tested out lis per
