taches to the paper on college Mer
and the Bible" 1t sets forth the slim
ulating facts of widespread revival Of
interest among intellectual young mer
in the text and teachings of the Scrip

by an International Committee of the

and more than sixty thousand students
are already enrolled. The article is

our seeding. The seed was dragged
In with light weeder following the
seeder.
In about week the seed began to
show above the soil, and we congratu-
lated ourselves upon securing a fine
catch. When the seeding had reached
the height of four or FIVE inches, we
clipped it with mower in order to kill
out the weeds, and also to strengthen
the alfalfa. The clipping operation
was repeated twice during the same
season, and no effort was made to Sc
cure a crop The three clippings re-
suited in the entire destruction of the
weeds and after the last clipping,
about September first, the seeding at
tanned growth of six or seven inches
before winter. This growth served as
good winter protection.
The following spring found the field
in good shape. and there were no signs
visible of winter-killing The first
crop we secured from the field was cut
about the first of June or almost exact
ly one year from the time the seed was
sown. The first cutting yielded about
two tons of cured hay to the acre, and
the two succeeding cuttings that sea-
son yielded little better than ton
each.
We have had each season since then
an almost uniform yield of from four
to five tons of cured hay per acre. In
one small section of the field where the
water comes close to the surface, we
have been troubled with grass. but it
has not choked out the alfalfa
The second 10 acres of this field was
sown the next year about the first of
August, and in the same manner as
that used in the first piece. We clipped
this field only once during the season,
and left the last growth to form a
winter protection.
Our experience in growing alfalfa
has caused us to believe that any piece
of ground in Michigan that will grow
clover will also grow alfalfa. The
water level of the soil in growing
alfalfa must be from four to six feet
below the surface; while with clover it
may be much higher. The soil in our
field was of gravel formation, and
because it had grown clover 30 success
fully we knew that it was not strongly
acid in quality. Several fields else
where in the state that the writer has
visited have shown weak stand of
alfalfa, which was undoubtedly due to
an excess of acid in the soil. Whether
or not this excess of acid may exist in
any field may be determined by test.
Samples taken from various parts of
the field may be submitted to the Soil
Department of the Agricultural Col
lege. If the examination shows an
excess of acid, cheap and easily ap-
piled neutralizing agent is to be found
in lime or limestone screenings to be
obtained at several quarries in the
state.

Making Excellent Progress.

The creamery is making excellent
progress these days. Manager Denton
says the cream receipts are increasing
each week. Last week over 1000 pounds
of butter was turned out. When hs
took hold of the creamery he did not
expect to reach that total for quite 9
while but the liberal support the loca
farmers are giving made it possible al
most before the close of the first month
under Mr.. Denton's management.

GROWING ALFALFA IN OAK.
LAND COUNTY.
BY Goo. Q. Hupp In The Michigan
Daily Farmer.

Daily Farmer.
A description of how Mr.. Hupp Sc
cured a successful stand of alfalfa ten
years ago and at the first attempt.
The present field of twenty acres of
alfalfa that is now growing success
fully on our farm was started at a ten.
acre piece in the spring of 1900. We
had read in an experiment station
bulletin, issued at a western college,
that alfalfa possessed great feed
value for all kinds of live stock, and
especially for dairy animals, and we de-
cided that we would give it trial
The tenacre field that was first planted
lies upon the highest part of the farm,
and was unsuitable for the successful
production of cereal crops. It always
yielded good crop of clover, however,
and this fact decided us to try growing
alfalfa which, as everyone knows, is
another leguminous crop closely related
to clover.
The first planting took place about
the first of June, after deep blowing
and working of the ground until the
soil was reduced to fine dust. mulch
The seed was sown with a wheelbar
row seeder. We were not sure of the
exact amount of seed required to an
acre o)rour soil, and in order to have
enough we sowed about eighteen
pounds to the acre. Even this amount
will not always insure catch, and 90
pounds to the acre is safer. The
spring of 1900 was very dry, and as we
learned from the bulletin that plenty
of moisture was essential to the germ
nation Of the seed we waited until a
day when \the gathering clouds indi-
Gated that e were likely to have a
rain storm. WE were fortunat in max
ing our guess, as the rain began that
evening almost before we had finished

of his farm.
~, Carl Miller, who has just sold his
livery leaves soon for the Canadian
