SOILS FOR ALFALFA
Two Methods of incubation Civ
en- by Texas Station.
First Is to Scatter Soil From Old Al
faIfa Field and Then Seed In
Usual Way-other Consists
of Use of Bacteria.

DR.. G. S. Traps, sttae chemist OF
Texas at the A. and M. college, says
there are two methods Of inoculatlns
soils for alfalfa.
The first method consists Of scat
tering 200 to 300 pounds per acre OF
soil from an old alfalfa field and har-
rowing 1t In. The seeding Is then
proceeded with in the usual way.
This method has been used very ex-
tensively and with good results. The
soil from the old alfalfa field con-
tairs thousands Of bacteria which live
upon the roots of the alfalfa and en-
able it to secure nitrogen from the
air, and when the soil Is narrowed In
the new land the bacteria are intro
duced into it. There are several dis
advantages connected with the use OF
soil The transportation charges may
be considerable and the soil may carry
the seed of various weeds of dodder
and the spores of injurious fungi.
The second method of inoculating
consists in the use Of cultures of bac-
terra. These cultures are allowed to
multiply in suitable liquid and eth
er applied directly to the seed or In
oculated into the soil and the soil ap-
piled. The cultures placed upon the
market have not formerly been sue
cessful, but they appear to be of much
better quality at present. These cui-
lures are prepared by the United
States department of agriculture at
Washington and by several CONNER
cial concerns.
Besides the bacteria referred to
above alfalfa requires soil that is
properly drained and also should be
we'll supplied with lime. The alfalfa
will not do we'll unless an abundance
Of lime is present, and If the lime is
not naturally contained in the soil it
must be added.
In a large number of experiments
carried out In New York it was found
that successful stands Of alfalfa were
secured in two out Of five cases in
which lime was applied at the rate
of 1,500 pounds per acre. When 200
to 300 pounds of old alfalfa soil per
acre was used together With the lime
four out of ave successful stands were
secured.
Experiments of the New Jersey sta
tion show chat the inoculating ma
terial referred to above contained
large numbers Of vigorous bacteria,
but not capable of serving any useful
purpose on land II deficient in lime.
Their experiments show that on land
properly drained and properly sup
piled with moisture, lime, phosphates
and potash these commercial cultures
are capable Of increasing the yield of
such legumlinous crops as had not
been previously grown on the land.
Where the alfalfa or other legumin-
Gus crops have been previously grow.
the germs are usually present.

FIlIr'l11 Notes

Poultry raising is becoming Iore
and more popular.
OIL meal may be fed to all classes
Of farm stock.
Honey is a sweet substance secret
ed by the hectares OF flowers.
On bright, warm days open up the
stable doors and let the blessed sun
shine in.
Trees carefully removed will make
a strong, healthy growth the follow
ing season.
Clear, pure water should be at hand
and the sheep given free access to
salt at all times.
Sheep need some roots at this sea-
son of the year and plenty OF clean,
but not cold, water.
When working in the apiary it is
best to carry along light box to put
all the bits of comb in.
Plenty of exercise is as essential as
liberal feeding to the successful win
tering of breeding ewes.
The practice of the science of bee
keeping is not unlike the pursuit OF
other branches of science.
The beds for young pigs OF even
older pigs in winter should be
changed at least once a week
Calves that are forced from the be-
ginning are liable to scour, but this
can be checked by feeding oats.
Plenty cf clean, dry litter in the
scratching shed is essential II You

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land Of cot
ton Of the results Of four years use
of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since I can remember we had
used coffee three times day. 1t had
more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and l. myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
II know it was that, because when
would leave it of for a few days
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up. even though I realized how
harmful it was to me.
"At last 1 found perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago / abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and also in
fuenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
q no longer suffer from Indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since I began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.
I'VE appreciate Postum as de-
lightful and Eealthful beverage, which
not only invigorates but supplies the
best Of nourishment as WELL" Name
