MosIem Traditions.

Ramadan is the month exalted by
Moslems above all Others In that
month the Notwithstanding to Mos
lem tradition-was brought down by
Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave of Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors of heaven are
always open, the passages to hell are
shut, and the devils are chained" So

The dairy COW will produce many

many cases.
If farmer has a fine COW he will
take as much pleasure in milking and
caring for her as he does in feeding

ALFALFA IS IMPORTANT CROP
Grows Unusually Well on Soils That
Don't Have Excess Of Moisture
Feed Value.

Alfalfa is one of the most important
forage crops that the dry land farmer
can grow. 1t has a high feeding value
for all classes of stock and it grows
unusually we'll upon soils that do not
have an excess of moisture. This
plant will grow upon almost every
possible kind of soil with the excep-
ton of two. It will not produce re-
suits upon a soil that Is continually
wet or where the water il compare
lively near the surface The land
should not be subject to overflow,
writes H. F. Patterson of Gallatin
county. Montana. in the Farmers'
Tribune. The other type of soil upon
which alfalfa refuses to grow is that
in which there Is too much acidity. or
soils from which the lime has been
exhausted. Fortunately. neither Of
these two types Of soil are found in
our dry land region Of the semi-arid
west. This plant IL grown at the
present time in many sections of the
dry region where few years ago it
was thought impossible. This II
brought about by the fact that the
culture of the plant Is better under
stood. With each succeeding year It
is found to occupy q more permanent
position In our systems of farm man.
agement
| The chief essential in the produc-
ton Of this forage Is the advanced
preparation of the seed bed. Many
| growers prepare the soil two or three
years before seed is sown. The physi
cal condition of the soil must almost
be perfect If we are to secure the
best results. Alfalfa needs a deep.
loose, open, porous soil. The roots
go deep into the soil and the plants
secure moisture from the lower re-
gions. For this reason the land
should be plowed very deep. but It
should not be worked when too wet
or there is danger of the surface be-
coming puddled.
Briefly, we might prepare the seed
bed by blowing in the fall to a depth
of six or seven inches and allowing
the land to remain open during the
winter. In the spring az soon Al II
