Some Sensible Suggestions.

If the farmers of Maine could but get
the habit, for we believe it is only a habit,
of raising alfalfa, and then add to that
vetch, soy beans, Canada peas, crimson
clover, and half dozen other quick
growing cheap succulent grasses for soil
ing purposes, and at the same time the
orchardist would learn not only to grow
apple trees but to raise good merchant
able fruit, and would then become patient
and Industrious enough to pack it in
good presentable, appetizing manner, and
incidentally each year raise good large
field of yellow corn, and fill good boun
tiful silo, with ensilage corn, what new
life the agriculturalists of Maine would
enter upon! And the best Of it all is, all
these things are not only possible, but
they are probable. Year by year we hear
of new men in different sections of the
State who are accomplishing these most
desirable results, and are thereby master
ing the mystery that was once almost
unsolvable, that of making the old Maine
farm pay. If every bright young man
who is becoming interested in agriculture
would only vow great big vow, and then
keep it inviolate, to do something each
year, on his farm to bring about these
most desirable results, what wonderful
progress toward the end hoped for could
and would be made. Turf, Farm and
Home.
