Rules for Alfalfa.

DR.. Beal. Of the Michigan Expert
ment station, in an address not long
ago, laid down the following ten rules
as necessary to make a growth of
alfalfa for a period of ten years or
more: 1. Select land that Is deeply
drained. Swampy land or soils in
which the hard pan comes very close
to the surface will not make a proper
place for alfalfa. 2. Prepare the land
as for a crop of wheat. 8. II the soil
is not alkaline, apply air-slaked lime.
4. Sow about four pounds of good,
clean seed to the acre at the time of
corn planting. or else early in August,
II the soil is moist then. s. With
alfalfa seed SOW orchard grass or tall
oat grass, about a peck each to the
acre. Excellent results may also be
obtained by adding two pounds of
timothy seed. 6. Under no circum-
stances should a so-called nurse crop
be sown. Z. II nodules are not pro-
duced on the roots. innoculate with
soil containing them. 8. Clip young
growth from one to three times. 9.
Cut when few plants of alfalfa are
first in bloom. 10. Leave a moder.
ate growth in the fall as a mulch.

In the illustration is shown the
length of the various stages in the life
cycle of the seed ticks Matching from

from the host animal on April rs.
After the ticks drop to the ground ten
days will elapse before egg laying be-

gin Matching on June Is, an incuba-
ton period of 60 days. and the seed

It is absolutely necessary to keep all
horses, mules and cattle of a pasture
In which an attempt is being made to
starve out the ticks.
Pastures from which live stock Is
removed for a sufficient time become
free of ticks by a process of starva
ton, as the ticks cannot live to ma
turity II they are unable to get upon
animals. The time required for all
ticks to die after the stock has been
removed from infested fields and pos
lures varies considerably, depending
on climate. season and weather con
ditions. Experience has shown, how
ever, that the period from September
1 to July is sufficient, and this ap
pears to be the most convenient time

Raising Ducks.

Ducks are much easier to raise than
chickens, guineas or turkeys. 1t is
not necessary to have nearly as ex-
pensive houses to raise ducklings as
chickens, says a writer In Baltimore
American. We will admit that ducks
are grass eaters, but at Alton farm II
costs only a little more than half as
much to produce a pound Of duck
flesh as a pound Of chicken.
A man can go into the duck bust
ness on much larger scale than he
can any other branch Of the poultry
business, l. e.. he can depend more on
hired help. There Is not nearly the
amount of fine labor in duck raising
as in chickens. guinea or turkey grow
ing. Freedom from disease also makes
1t possible to have larger duck farms
than chicken farmA

Attempt 10 Being Made to
Eradicate Little Pest.

nv PROF. f. c. COTTON. TENNESSEE
The presence of the fever TICK IN
the states south of the federal quar-
antine line costs the agriculture OF
that region the enormous sum vi
500 600, 900 per year. In this day OF
modern agriculture and increased IN
telligence among the farmers this Is
too high a tax, even II 1t Is a volun-
tary one, to pay for the privilege OF
harboring a nuisance.
The fever tick and nearly all otner
ticks in their development pass
through four states: Egg. seed TICK
nymph and adult.
The eggs are laid by the engorged
adult tick.
BY seed tick is meant the little tick
from Matching up to the first moult.
BY nymph is meant the young LICK
between the first moult and the Sec
ond moult.
The term adult is applied to the
tick after the second moult and IN
cludes the so-called 'yearling TICK
and the fully engorged tick. The en-
gorged tick lays from 1900 to 4.OO0
eggs In from 9 to 55 days, depending
upon the season of the year, requiring
the longer period in cold weather and
the shorter In summer.
The six-legged seed ticks hatcn
from the eggs in from 26 to 20 days
again depending upon the tempera'
ture.
The seed ticks crawl upon grass,
weeds and shrubs and await the com
ing of animals. from one day to sew
eral weeks.
After getting on an animal the seed
ticks feed seven to twelve days. when
they shed their skin, emerging as
eight-legged nymphs.
The nymphs feed upon the host AMI
NAL five to ten days. then moult
emerging as adults.
The adults mate and feed four tf
fourteen days, when they drop to the
ground and lay eggs.
The fever tick completes this cycle
twice and in favorable seasons three
times a year in Tennessee. They have
been doing this as long as we have
