who have had no experience with the
raising of alfalfa will do we'll to study
the matter thoroughly. There are
different strains of the plant, some
adapted to one kind of soil and some
to another. Also some are adapted
to one kind of cultivation and not to
another. Some who have tried alfalfa

cate subsoil cultivation for the pur-
pose of giving the plant a chance to
root deeper; alfalfa is naturally a deep
roofing plant. We have read, articles
by scientific men who advocate
dynamiting the subsoil where it is
bard to insure a better and stronger
growth of all deep rooted crops, in
Guiding trees. Another recommends
ton in connection with the raising of
alfalfa is to ~inoculate the new field

WAY OF D0CTORING MASONRY
Adopt Method That Entirely
obvlates Necessity Of Tearing
OoWn Cracked Walls.

Ingenious Germans Of Hamburg re-
Gently have adopted a method Of doc
tor1ng masonry that entirely obviates
he necessity of tearing down cracked
and decaying walls.
In the city of Hamburg two crumb-
ling railway bridges were used in the
experiments. They were 81 feet in the
arch spans, and cracks had appeared
everywhere, SO that the structures
barely hung together. Holes were
bored through the masonry to get to
the depths Of the cracks and a watery
cement mortar was pumped in under a
pressure of five a~tmespheres until all
he %crevices We're filled. When this
had hardened it was found that the
bridges were as firm under all tests as
new masonry, and were not even dis
Inquired by the process.
To the antiquary as well as the
practical engineer, this should appear
as a boon, for ancient stone structures
with historical associations, which be-
come dangerously weak can be given a
renewed youth without rebuilding or
destroying any of the marks of veneer,
able age. In this country more bridges
and other stone structures are torn
away because they no longer accom-
modate their needs, than because they
are outworn, but there may come a
time in America when we shall have
occasion to do a little patching, and
the German methods will serve ex.
%ceIIent1y.
