Haul Out the Manure.

If manure is not hauled out and
spread as fast as made the plan of
keeping it tramped under foot in the
stalls is the best way, for it loses far
less in that way than if loosened up
and thrown out in piles. And piles
under cover l think it worse than out
side, as it will fire-fang worse kept
dry. But do not be afraid to haul
out manure as fast as made and
spread it, 1t loses less spread on the
land than in any other way.-W. F.

Aifaliafis truly wonderful plant.
There is 10 other single plant used
for hay or forage that furnishes the
quantity OF digestible nutrients In as
palatable a form as alfalfa. 1t is a
, balanced ration In itself and great
many classes of live stock will thrive
on II without the edition of any other
feed. Well-cured alfalfa is so we'll
liked by live stock that they leave
not a morsel of 1t remaining in their
hangers after feeding. There Is no
class OF live stock that will not eat
alfalfa. Even swine and chickens rel
ish it..
This plant has been tried in many
parts of the South and has been found
to do well where the proper care and
attention have been given it, 1t is
tender and slow about getting started,
but once started it requires but little
attention for a period Of eight or ten
years.
There are at least three essential
conditions necessary to cause alfalfa
to do well In the first place, well
drained soil is necessary. Alfalfa will
not grow on soil which is wet or that
mas layer Of water within few feet
of the surface. In the second place,
alfalfa requires lime, and so if the soil
is not rich in lime it should be sown
upon the land that is to be planted in
alfalfa
Air-slaked lime is best and should
be sown at the rat of one ton per acre.
The third essential is to prepare
good seed bed and keep the land free
from weeds. When the alfalfa plant
is young it is very tender and easily
killed out by other plants, but after
it regains a firm foothold upon the
soil it will hold its own very well.
Therefore, it is essential to plant alfal-
ia in this climate about August or Sep
TENDER, after all weeds have been kill
ed out. After this time of year the
weeds are not liable to be so trouble
some as earlier in the season.. Alfalfa
is sf'wn at the rate of about 20 pounds
~ 'tNt NfNA ~ ~ bNAOiASo w N1C octLiN
class CT plants as the cowpea; that is,
it Il a legume and gathers nitrogen
from e air
Alfalfa will do better on soil that
has been innoculated with bacteria
from the soil of an alfalfa field This
is done by strewing soil from an old
alfalfa field over the ground that has
been prepared for alfalfa. The soil
should be scattered late in the day
and then narrowed in at once before
the sun has a chance to destroy the
bacteria. Alfalfa That appears yellow
and makes but little growth needs in
incubation. When it is impossible to
get soil from an old alfalfa field, soil
from a patch of sweet clover will do
about as well since the roots of both
the alfalfa and sweet clover grow the
same kind of bacteria. Some soils are
deficient in phosphorus, in which case
a liberal application of acid phosphate
will usually insure a good crop, pro-
vided the soil has been well prepared,
lined, drained and innoculated
When we stop to consider that alfal-
"a is relished by all classes of live
stock; that it will make more milk
and beef than any other kind of hay;
that 1t requires replanting only once
in about eight or ten years, and that
it will produce four or five tons of hay
per acre, we can realize at once the
value of this plant.-P. N. 8.

Quality of the Dairy Cow.

The most interesting study that a
farmer can devote his time it is that
of animals on the farm. There can
be no doubt that one serious drawback
to the dairy interests is the lack Of
knowledge of COW nature-their needs,
requirements and methods of care to
produce best results, and there can
be no great degree of success in dali
rying where a lack of this knowledge
is found A writer in an exchange
says:
Our cows as a rule are not as poor
as our dairymen. Hundreds of cows
are not giving their owner good re-
turns because the owners are at fault
Give every COW in the herd a good
chance to prove her worth as a milk
producer and if she is not giving prop
er returns for her feed do not feed
her for milk. The farmer will begin
right by selecting his very best cows
and then introducing into his herd
dairy bulls of his favorite breed and
will thus obtain bull adapted to his
purpose. With butter fat averag
ing over 20 cents per pound the year
around a COW producing 200 to $50
pounds per year, which is not an I'M
usual farmers COW average, he can
very well afford to let the beef take
care of itself and his well raised calves
fed on the skim milk and the grains
grown on the farm viii sell at price
that will fully justify any reasonable
additional expense involved through
the purchase Of well-bred sire of
some Of the typical dairy breeds and
the slight additional expense of good
care and liberal feeding of a ration
suitable for rapid growth"
In connection with this we advice
the growing of all COWS on the farm
that may be needed for future use. 1t
is mistake to believe that cows can
be purchased to better advantage than
they can be raised. The man who pur-
chases must always take such ami
mails as someone else wants to dis
pose of, but the man who breeds and
develops his own may be reasonable
sure of more profitable class of cows.

LIMOUSINE MOTOR

Big Demand This Year for the
Winter Season Auto
mobile
Closed Vehicles Have Proved
the Most Comfortable in
the East and West
By R. R. L.HoMMEpIEu

The approach of the wet weather
has seen a great demand for motor
cars with Limousine bodies. This is
in striking contrast to the demand of a
few years ago. At that time no one
hardly thought of buying a limousine
for California, as it was thought that
such car was only profitable and
comfortable in those sections which
are annually visited by snow. But
time has worked the change. The au-
tomobilists have found out that dur
ing the winter there is no vehicle that
is as comfortable as motor car chassis
fitted with a Limousine body 1t is
this increasing knowledge that is re-
sponsible for the great demand for
this model this year.
