A START IN ALFALFA.

With alfalfa proving the benediction 1t is in so many sections of the south and west, many located in the north ern states where moisture and temper ature conditions are not so favorable are nevertheless meeting with quite satisfactory If less uniform success in raising 1t. Certain working principles in the matter of getting a start in it have been worked out, and repetition of the chief of these may be of help to some who have never had any eX- perience with the legume. Land on which 1t is to be grown should be high and dry, while most any subsol but coarse gravel or limestone will an swer the purpose. The best time for sowing the seed is from the 1st to the 18th of August, a piece of land from which small grain has been re- moved being preferable, as the weeds hare been held in check. This should be given top dressing of eight to ten tons of barnyard manure per acre, and with each load a bushel or two of soil from an established alfalfa field CT from a spot where sweet clover has grown should be mixed. If spreader Is available this may be put on after the land is plowed and then disked in, which will leave both ma nure and inoculated soil near the sur face where they will get in their work at once. Only seed from reputable house and guaranteed absolutely free from the seeds of noXious weeds should be sowed at the rate of about twenty pounds to the acre and prefer ably with a disk drill, which will in- sure all the seed being covered and placed in moist soil at a uniform depth an important consideration if the weather should be very dry at planting time The field should not be cut next fall, as all the growth will be needed to give a catch for the snow.

DOPE FOR RODENTS.

During the past few years the de- partment of agriculture has often been called upon for assistance In fighting prairie dogs and pocket go- phers in the west and southwest and after trying many methods of destruc ton recommends poisoned grain put in or near their runways as the most effective means of killing them. Its recipe for making the poison Is as fol- lows: Dissolve an ounce of strychnia sulphate Ca deadly poison) in a pint of boiling water Add a pint of thick sugar sirup and stir thoroughly. The sirup may be scented with a few drops of oil of anise, but this is not essential. If kept in a closed vessel the sirup will keep indefinitely. This quantity is sufficient to poison half bushel of corn or other grain (corn recommended. The grain should be steeped in hot water and allowed to stand overnight. It should then be drained and soaked for several hours in the poisoned sirup. Before using cornmeal may be added to take up the excess moisture. In the case of pock- ct gophers a runway should be To- cated by thrusting an end gate rod into the ground a couple of feet at one side of the line of mounds and through this hole inserting a few ker nels of the poisoned corn.

THE ROADSIDE GRASS.

There is hardly section of land in any part of the country where grass or other herbage grows by the road side which would not furnish pasture for 150 sheep on it's highways. The having of such a neighborhood flock would mean better fencing for some farms. But this would be an advan- tage and not drawback. In addition to there being the feed, which under usual conditions goes largely to waste, almost any such neighborhood has some old man who cannot stand a hard days work who, with the help of a good dog, could nicely herd just such flock. Were such a plan car ried out the looks of the highways would be greatly improved, weeds cleaned up and a source of contamina- ton to adjoining fields actually turned into profit The plan may be commu- nistic in a way, but 1t has much to commend it.

NO POOR MANS PARADISE.

A view which has been expressed by 1isinterested people who have given the matter some study and reiterated by delegates to the recent dry farming congress at Cheyenne is that any man who intends embarking in the dry farming business should have over and above the price he has to pay for the land $2,0OO in live stock, ma chinery and household goods and enough ready money to pay his ex penses for two years, about the period required to get the land in shape for crops. They also recommend the grow ing of live stock and suggest ten acres as the amount of land required to SUD- port one beef animal. It will be seen from the above that, whatever else the drying farming country may be, it is no poor mans paradise.

While there are several species of useful birds whose diet consists In good part of weed seeds, the tiller of the soil who banks to any extent on the service of such birds in ridding his fields of weed pests may properly be charged with trusting entirely too much in Providence. The mourning dove, one of the most widely distrib- uted of American birds, is also one of the most useful from the economic point of view: Examinations which have been made of the contents of many stomachs show that 90 per cent of its food consists of seeds. Wheat, oats, corn, rye, barley and buckwheat were found and constituted about 32 per cent of the total volume, but three fourths of this amount was waste grain picked up in the field after har- vest. In one stomach were found 7,500 seeds of the yellow wood sorrel, while another contained 6,400 seeds of the foxtaIl. ---.--

Keeping the onion patch free from weeds will not only be the best possi- ble thing for the growth of the onions, but will simplify immensely the job of pulling or raking them out when ripe. The writer has helped harvest a crop of onions in a field badly overrun with the late growing crab grass, and the force of the above suggestion was painfully apparent at the t.me.

Every farm in the stock raising sec tions of the country Should have its quota of sheep. If the place is not fenced so as to hold sheep, this should be done first, and one would be justi- fled in borrowing money for the pur- pose.

If the strawberry bed is in its sec ond year this season it will be we'll to renovate it after the crop is removed. This can be easily done by cutting the vines off close with a scythe, or mower if bed is large, letting the leaves dry and raking them off and then going through between the rows of vines with an adjustable five. eight or ten tooth cultivator, gradually spreading the shovels as the soil is mellowed up. This should be continued until a strip of but six or eight inches wide is left of the original berry row. The roots will be undisturbed here and will send out runners enough to give all the plants needed for next season. If the bed is in its third season and foul with weeds 1t would be well to blow the whole thing up and SOW 1t to any crop which will mature in the time re- maining before frost, such as turnips, string beans or late celery.

It is little less than blasphemy to have God Bless Our Home" worked with colored yarns in perforated card board and hung up in the parlor or dining room when a system of agri- culture is being followed on the farm stead which can ultimately mean only soil Restitution and bankruptcy. 1t would be well to get into the COW and clover business and take this motto down and put 1t up in the attic.

The daily papers of short time ago contained the notice of the death of a two-year-old child from tuberculosis In the family of neither parent had there been traces of this disease, and the physician in charge was at a loss to understand its appearance. After much speculation 1t was thought that the child might have contracted the malady from drinking germ laden milk. The five cows on the place were tested for tuberculosis, and two were found to be in bad shape from the dis ease. The reader can draw his own conclusions.

It is questionable if there is any pet which will give a family of boys and girls more solid satisfaction than a Shetland pony. They are usually do- cile and entirely safe for children to handle and besides giving them many hours of solid enjoyment will be found a great aid In the hauling of small loads and the running of a great vari- ety of errands. As soon as they are old enough the children should have the care of the pony, which will give them something to do as we'll as in- crease their sense of responsibility.

Many farmers in portions of some southwestern states would do well to take an inventory of the dilapidated condition of the soil in states farther east, the result of a continual crop ping to cotton and other exhaustive crops, and before that soil prostratlon has been reached in their own case work into system of crop rotation. including the soil renovator, alfalfa, which will make such catastrophe i'm possible.

opcCldl 10 i lie NEW EkA.
Kansas City Stock Yards, May 81.
Arrivals OF cattle from the range
country were small last week, and
total cattle receipts were 10000 head
less than preceding week. The mar
ket advanced 10 to 20 cents during the
week, although closing slightly below
the best time, which was on Tuesday.
Run today is extra heavy for the sea
son, at 1000 head, and prices range
from steady on medium and light
weight steers to 10 lower on heavier
steers. Supply from the West aud
Southwest has been below the usual
quality for a week or more, and prices
do not show the full strength OF the
market. as top natives sold at $3.50
today, and top on Colorados is only
81. 30, paid for some kemper & Wertz
steers, weighing l0S0ib. Colorado
stockers and feeders range from sl.75
to S5.lO, for medium class stuff, top
natives at 50. so for st0ckcrs, and $5.65
for feeders. A feature sale late last
week was 450 Arizona grass stock
heifers, weighing Sob, at s4.35, con-
sidered strong price. There is al
ways strong demand for stock cows
and heifers at this point. 1t is believ-
ed that the country has been pretty
we'll combed for supplies Of fed cattle,
and that receipts of today will not be
equalled again till after grass cattle
begin to move freely.
| Sheep and lambs advanced so to IS
cents last week, goats % to 80 cents
higher. Total sheep receipts for the
month of May show a shortage of
30, 200 head from same month last
year, or II per cent, pointing to a
continuation OF the strong markets
now ruling. Run Is 1000 head today,
prices 15 to 25 higher, feature sales
today some Campbell & Francis Ari-
zona wethers weighing i02lb at $3.50,
aud spring lambs $500, other clipped
Arizona ewes today at $6.l5. Late
last week a shipment of wethcrs fed,
as an experiment, at Roswell, N. NJ,
on ration mostly ground alfalfa, sold
here at $6 65, weighing 1l3ib, very
satisfactory conclusion of this expert
ment. Clipped lambs bring up to
