A reader of these notes living in a section where very little has been done along the line of growing alfalfa in- quires how to go at it to get a stand, his purpose being to make a spring sowing of the seed. The writer is of the opinion that more satisfactory re- suits will be had in getting start with alfalfa if the sowing is delayed until the middle of August. The land used for the purpose should be well drained, enriched with seven or eight loads of barnyard manure per acre and just as free as possible from weed seeds. A piece of land from which a crop of wheat or oats has just been removed would serve the purpose very nicely, as a good share of the weed seed germinates within a short time after the grain Is cut, while the remaining seed can be killed in the preparation of the soil for the alfalfa seed. While the seed can be broadcasted, there is little question that more uniform germination will be secured if it is drilled in. From fifteen to twenty-five pounds of seed may be used, the smaller quantity being required if a drill is used. There is a species of bac teria which works on the roots of the alfalfa plant. and a much thriftier growth will be secured if these are in- troduced into the soil This may be done by mixing soil from an estab- lished alfalfa field with the manure with which the field is fertilized. or soil from the roadside where the wild sweet clover has grown will answer the same purpose, or one can make application to the department of agri culture at Washington for little tube of the nitrogen fixing bacteria, which is diluted in water and the seed wet with this a few hours before sowing. After being treated the seed should not be exposed to the direct rays of the sun. The writer has known of number of instances in which a good stand of alfalfa has been secured by sowing the seed in the spring, but in these cases the soil was free from weed seeds. and the young alfalfa plants got foothold at once and were not swamped with rank weeds, as is so often the case.

Even under the most favorable con- ditions the giving of birth to the young animals on the farm means for the dams a severe drain not only upon their nervous system. but also their store of physical vitality. For this reason great care should be taken to see that all animals with young should be so fed as to be abundantly nourish- ed, while the quarters in which they give birth to their offspring should be dry and clean and free from drafts of air. Care in these two particulars would save a world of grief and loss for the average stock raiser.

Henceforth in the United States the men who will be most influential and independent, as well as physically most healthy and vigorous. will be those who own and till the soil.

A Wisconsin reader makes inquiry as to the right way to dip cattle. While spraying thoroughly with a disinfect- ing solution of the proper strength will give good results, the surest and safest way Is sousing the animals in a tank of the solution. This should be deep enough so that they will have to swim at the middle and should be provided with sloping approaches for ingress and exit. It is customary at the cen tral stockyards, where thousands of animals are given the dip daily, to drive them through the tank in single file and as they reach the middle for an attendant stationed above to give the head a downward shove, so that the animal will be completely sub merged. There are several good dips on the market, put up in cans of sev- eral sizes, with full direction for use

Our readers know in general way that there was a persistent drought over the country the past year, but perhaps few of them have seen it ex- pressed in definite terms. The writer wished to have this data and so wrote the director of a north Iowa United States weather station. The director reported that covering a period of years the normal rainfall at his sta tion was 31.23 inches, but that for the year from March 1, 1910, to March 1, 1911, the precipitation had been but 16.44 inches. which was a shortage of 14.79 inches as compared with the nor nal rainfall. Assuming that a pint of water weighs a pound. these figures mean that in the twelvemonth period there was a shortage of 1866 tons of water per acre. Taking in connection with this the fact that an inch of wa ter soaks down foot in loose soil. one gets a good idea of the depth from which water was drawn last sea son to supply the needs of growing crops.

Now and then an orchard is situated on such a slope that 1t is necessary to keep it in sod. to prevent the washing and gullying of the surface, but with the exception orchardists are pretty well agreed that sod in the orchard tract should be killed and the soil given thorough and frequent cultiva- ton during the early part of the season at least to July 15 This will make available for the use of the trees in their production of fruit the fertility contained in the soil and will reduce to a minimum, if followed year after year, the damage from insect pests like the curculio. which finds an ideal harbor in blue grass sod. It is more than likely if the orchard tract is an old one and has been neglected that it will need fertilizing before it will pro- duce proftably. Some barnyard ma nure may be used. but this will not give as satisfactory results as the specially prepared commercial ferti- 1lzers in which potassium and phos- Thoric acid predominate.

It is with hens as 1t is with hired men and dairy cows. handsome is that handsome does" This statement is prompted by a glance at the picture of a celebrated Plymouth Rock hen that has a record of 230 eggs in year. She was very short legged, comb twist ed and i'll shaped, tail feathers looking as if she had been the sport of half grown puppy, and yet she delivered the goods-fifty-six pounds of eggs which sold for $475. Her bill Of fare cost S1.50, leaving a net revenue of $3.25. more than is got from thousands. of COWS over the land.

Do not be led into paying exorbitant prices for sittings of eggs from so call ed heavy laying strains of chickens. The poultry department of the Maine experiment station worked this thing out very thoroughly and found that no reliance could be placed on the pro ductiveness of bullets from high rec ord hens, but rather that it was largely an individual matter. Some other sta ton may have secured different results, but if such is the case it's find: ings have not been generally published.

THORPE AFTER
A MANDAMUS
Declares He Will Test Law
Compelling Vaccination.

Declaring that he would apply for
a writ of mandamus directed to the
Department OF Education to test the
validity of the law compelling chi1-
dren to be vaccfnated, Herbert A..
Thorpe, OF Prince Bay, will shortly
begin proceedings. Mr.. Thorpe wrote
DR.. Maxwell, superintendent OF
schools, recently, that he would take
his two children to public school No.
3, Pleasant Plains, and request Prin-
cipaI Gould ]. Jennings to receive
them.
This he did on Tuesday morning
after the opening preceding the hol-
idays, bat Mr.. Jennings refused to
admit the children, when he learned
that they had not been vaccfnated
according to law Mr.. Thorpe then
left and declared that he would APP
ply for a writ Of mandamus and ind
out Just where he stood In the mat
ter.
Mr.. Jennings Is acting under or
ders from the department in not al
lowing the children to attend school
without being vaccinatcd. Mr..
lThorpe's attorney, Harry Wcinber-
fger, of Manhattan, Is determined to
fight the case to the end. He says
that the state law behind which the
Boarod of Education will probably
take refuge, is unquestionably I'M
constitutional and shows where two
Justices OF the supreme court gave
decisions against those trying TO en-
lforee the statute.
