ALFALFA SOWN ON SOD LAND
Obtained on Some PraIries by
Simply Disking.

The opinion Is common that a stand
OF alfalfa cannot be secured on sod
land under any conditions without
first plowing the ground. and in very
many instances that opinion is cor
rect. The opinion is also common
that under no circumstances can a
stand OF alfalfa be obtained on new
breaking that will equal a stand of
the same on similar land after the
sod has considerably decayed In the
main this opinion is also correct, but
TO both there are some exceptions as
will be now shown.
Even under dry land conditions a
stand of alfalfa may be secured on
some kinds of prairie sod. by simply
disking the ground thoroughly, sowing
the seed and covering IL with har.

stances where the prairie or bench
land sod is not very thick or dense.
and where the soil conditions natural
ly favor the growth OF alfalfa. Fair
stands OF alfalfa have thus been OBJ
tanned.
The justification for trying to get
them thus is found in the necessity
that may exist for haste in getting a
stand and the lack of horse labor to
put more work on the land

He has a tight board fence in front of
the feed platform, thus having a good
windbreak, and on sunny days their
hogships enjoy summing thereon. The
fall and winter was a good time for the
test of the wall. and 1t proved both
water and frost proof. Part OF the
time Mr.. Condor uses sand for bed

the brood sows and their litters.

The amount of oats TO SOW TO the

manner in which the ground has been

GROWING GOOD CROP OF FLAX
Best Soil is Sandy Loan, Sufficiently
Damp That Irrigation Is
Unnecessary.

The best soil for fax is sandy
loan which 10 sufficiently damp that
1t does not need to be irrigated. How
ever. II must not be too wet. Flax
can be grown on ground that is drier
IL II is Of such texture that II will not
bake when irrigated. If the ground
bakes II is almost impossible to
gather the fax without breaking the
fiber. Hemp will do we'll on most any
kind of soil where wheat will thrive,
writes William Wadley in Field and
Farm. The ground should be well
fertilized and then plowed deep. This
should be done in the fall. The next
spring the ground should be well har-
rowed and worked down very fine.
The object OF having the ground rich
and in good condition is to make the
plants grow taller and hence produce
more lint. II only the seed is desired
poorer ground can be used
The seed should be planted after
all danger of frost is past. 1t can
either be drilled in or sown broad
cast. The seed should be we'll covered
with soil. If merely raising the
plants for the seed bushel to the
acre will be sufficient. When the
| fiber is wanted more seed should be
sown, the thicker the crop the finer
the fiber will be. If the ground is
damp enough so that irrigation is not
! required no further care is necessary
until the crop is ripe. II must. how
ever, be surrounded by a good fence
to keep all animals out, as the plants
are practically spoiled If broken or
tangled up. When the crop is ripe IL
should be pulled very carefully and
tied in small bundles-about a good
double handful in each bundle. These
should be thoroughly dried and then
placed in a large shock on a canvas.
A band should be tied around this
large shock to hold It upright.
Then the heads should be carefully
pounded to loosen the seed. Now
take each small bundle and beat the
seed out of IT, The seed can be
cleaned by a sieve or tanning mill.
Great care must be taken not to break
the stalks. The plants should then be
placed In some clean water and left
for about ten days. or until they are
sufficiently rotted that the lint will
readily leave the stalk. Great care
should be taken to keep the plants
clean during all this process, as the
whiteness of the fiber depends on
| cleanliness. When the stalks are
rotted they should be taken out and
thoroughly dried. after which they
should be placed in a dry room so

MOTOR CAR

Increased Use OF Automobile BY

The thing To consider is what type
OF car will best meet the require

the question OF roads, The country
roads are not all gravel roads or
macadamized turnpikes.
The successful country car must be
one which will travel over inferior
roads.-roads that sometimes are
heavy with mud, roads that are often
covered IL inches or more with new
fallen untrodden snow.

weight. A good light weight car

The next point OF importance lies in
