Combining DaIryino, Poultry, Fruit
and Pias.-Dairying may be probably
combined with poultry keeping. with
fruit raising, or with pig growing.
With any Of these combinations, one
IL able to have two substantial in
comes, utilize the waste products. and
give profitable employment the entire
year to hired help. II whole milk is
sold to village or city trade. fruit
growing and dairying are the best
combination, the manure being used to
fertilize the orchard and land for
growing forage crops. When cream
or butter only is sold. dairying and
Dig or poultry raising are \ good COM
bination, the skim milk and butter
milk being fed to the pigs or chickens.
Pigs. poultry. fruit and dairy may all
be probably combined under certain
conditions. The success Of nearly all
of the great industries has resulted
from good Management and the full
utilization Of all the by-products.

is that the soil there Is also heavily
charged with lime. This fact is borne
out by many things that we would
like to enumerate. but we will men

is growing wild for many miles along
the railroad tracks. Section men
complain bitterly Of it. saying that 1t

upon 1t, and soil, where there IL any,
that is more than likely of sub-surface
origin and decidedly lacking in fertil-
ity; when we consider these things,
IL seems to US that the only possible
reason for its splendid success under
these difficulties has been in three
things: First, the railroad embank.
ments are composed Of limestone
gravel; second. they are thoroughly
drained. and third. owing to the pres
ence of sweet clover growing along
the railroad tracks. the probabilities
are that the alfalfa very frequently
finds its incubation quickly. Humus
is certainly deficient as well n soil
preparation. We know of other in
stances where the alfalfa grows well
along the railroad tracks. when the
soil adjacent to these roads refuses
to grow alfalfa satisfactorily. We be-
lieve that this confirms our theory
Of the lime. drainage and possibly
inoculation which the alfalfa finds ON
the railroad track. but which are
probably lacking to certain extent
when this ground il left. Our theory
on this matter II confirmed from .
great many other sources. Farmers
who have had their alfalfa terminate
properly In the first place, but gradu-
ally go back" and In year or 20
have 1t all gone, have probably in
nearly every instance been unsuccess-
full owing to lack of lime. Farmers
living in sections troubled by crab
grass or by sorrel have actually
found that liberal applications Of lime
would do . serious injury to these
weeds. while the alfalfa throve splen-
didly.

For generations men have watched
this plant and have realized its i'm
portance. They have seen its ire
mendous yields west of the Missouri
river and in the arid state. and many
farmers realizing its value have tried
to grow 1t In the eastern and central
states. Unfortunately, some portions
OF the country are not naturally adapt
ed to growing this plant. and there
have been many failures, which have
discouraged the farmers. We are glad
to note now, however, that scientific
study Of the subject appears to have
solved practically all Of the troubles.
and that 1t is possible to grow this
plant in any state in the Union, and
to make 1t succeed In splendid condi-
ton even where the soil is not natural
ly adapted to it. Men are doing this
all over the country to-day. says c.
B. Wing in the Farmers Review, max
ing their soil right where It Is not

has been made Of the growing Of al

about trying 1t. simply because Jones

We think we have stated the condi-
lions in the order of their relative i'm

more failures throughout the country
owing to the lack of SUFFICIENT lime in
the soil than from any other single
cause; and we feel sure that the inter.

question Of lime, and the number of
men who are using lime on land ON

in the acreage Of this plant. Formerly
1t was supposed that there were al
falfa belts" throughout the eastern
and central states which were the
only places In which alfalfa could be
successfully grown; but this theory

cause many are changing their condi-
lions sufficiently to permit a splendid
success with alfalfa IN every state in
the union, and this In the face of the
fact that many of their localities were
very ill-suited to its growth. 1t now

A MORNING WEDDING
Nuptials Celc.

Couple Went East.

At $3.50 Tuesday at the Holy
Family church Miss Josephine Will
komm, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob Willkomm, was united in mar
riage to Joseph /. Goldhagen.
The bridal party reached the
church promptly at the appointed
hour and with the opening strains
from the pipe organ, of the wedding
march from Lohengrin played by
Miss Hermenia Reihsen they marched
down the aisle of the church to the
altar. The bride was accompanied
by Mrs. G. Il. Fulton, matron of hon
or, a sister of the groom, who was
accompanied by Nh. G.. e. Fulton as
best man. The bride was very hand
|somely costumed in white Messaleine

ware were sent the bride as an APP
