Harvest is either now being finished
or is in progress in this season Of short
water supply, both under irrigation and
on dry land. an effort should be made
to make the best possible use of
scanty soil water. If small grain stub
bic is allowed to stand after harvest
without treatment, the surface of the
soil soon dries out and bakes 20 that
blowing can scarcely be done, if at all.
OF course, rains occasionally come to
soften this crust but this cannot be
abrolutely depended upon. The forma-
ton of crust can be prevented by
thoroughly double disking after the
binder. If the disking is well done,
baking or clodding of the surface will
rarely occur. Land so treated may be
plowed and fitted for seeding when un-
fitted land cannot be plowed. Such
land will also take up rain or irriga-
ton water much better than the un-
disked land. The writer made some
experiments 4 few years ago on the
feature of soil management
The land was disked after the binder
and plowed about August LIST. A SIM
liar piece on the opposite side Of six
teen-foot roadway was not disked. The
blowing was done at the same time.
No rain fell from July to August 81.
From August 81 to September 5 three
incnes of rain fell The land that had
been properly tended was well wetted
by this rain, and fall crops started and
grew well. The undisked land Wa
wetted only about six inches, moi
enough tomake it possible to thorough.
ly break down the humps.
The good effects of judicious diskine
will be seen cd the next crop. The ef.
feet is to prevent the soil getting int
a very bad conition.

Mission Of Crop Not Yet Thoroughly
Observation-Disclosures Of Obtaining
Good Stand.

The mission OF alfalfa under dry
farming conditions Is as yet but i'm
perfectly understood. Very many per.
sons cherish the idea that in such
areas alfalfa can only be grown sue
cessfully under irrigation. That this
view falls short of the truth l have
no doubt whatever says a writer In
Dakota Farmer 1t has been grown
in too many instances with measur-
able success and over too wide areas
to leave this question in doubt. But
the measure OF the success that may
be obtained from It and the best meth
DDS Of getting a stand have not yut
been worked out
The yields that 1t will furnish when
properly established under dry land
conditions will Of course vary as the
conditions vary The number of the
cuttings will also vary with the sea-
son. In some instances two cuttings
have been obtained and even three,
In some instances two to three tons
per acre have been secured. But 1t
would not be correct to say that so
many cuttings should be looked for
every year. The farmer in such areas
should not complain II he only gets
one good cutting In year, and II the
yield Is not more than one to two tons
that much from year to year from his
alfalfa field, Is following very safe
line Of farming, for It Is storing his
land with humus while It Is furnishing
him with fodder which is not eaatly
obtainable from some other sources
under dry conditions.
The best methods of obtaining a
good stand under dry conditions have
not been completely worked out. Us
ually, however 1t will be wise to pre-
pare the land the year before by care
full summer-fallowing, or by growing
some kind of cultivated crop in good
form. II the land has been MANFRED
previously SO much the better. The
alfalfa is sown the following spring
after all danger of frost Is past. The
crop the first year may not be large.
The crop the second year may not be
full, but under favorable conditions Of
growth 1t will be. The following sea-
sons the crop should be maximum for
dry conditions from year to year.
What has been said Is not meant to
imply that a stand of alfalfa cannot
be obtained from newly broken land.
for it can. But the fact remains that
as a rule a good and complete stand
is not easily obtained on quite new
land, and 1t will not yield SO we'll in
succeeding years. For instance stand
may sometimes be obtained by simply
disking up the sod and sowing alfalfa
on the sod thus prepared. 1t may also
be obtained by blowing. that is, break
ing up sod in the spring, and after
good pulverization OF the surface, SOW
ing the alfalfa crop. Here also the
stand Is not likely to be so perfect or
the yield so good as If sOwn by the
method first outlined.
As q rule, it will be better to SOW
without a nurse crop. But this does
not mean that a stand cannot be OBJ

POULTRY NOTES.

1t requires some extra skill to raise
early chicks.
During the winter the hens should
be fed cut steamed hay.
Don't winter a whole raft of male
birds that eat about twice as much as
hen will and produce nothing.
Thanksgiving turkeys always bring
good prices and the sooner the fatten-
ing process is begun the bigger will
be the turkey.
Statistics go to prove that the hens
in Uncle Sans barnyard produce as
mines yield In an entire year.
An excellent soft food for laying
hens can be compounded by mixing

Vegetables are as important an addi-

Some breeders make a handsome
profit by preparing cockerels for mar

them heavily and force them by a

BY running vegetable parings, bones,
