| politics and has an opportunity to dc
good work. When the Country Life
Commission was appointed, President
Roosevelt told the members at the
white house they should get no pay
from the government for their work,
not even their expenses, congratula-
ted them in getting no pay, and re-
marked that the best work he had ever
succeeded in getting done or had seen
done by men working without pay, OF
at least where the money end was not
the main motive, or words to taht ef-
feet. This characterized all good
work since the world began.
The Nebraska commission met in
February, and decided that the invest
igation could best be conducted by
sections or subcommittee, for exam
pie, education, farm health and sani-
ton, agricultural. local organization,
cooperative organization, landlords
and tenants, farm labor, taxation,
transportation, publicity and statistics.
At the head of each of these subcom-
mittees is a man especially qualified
for the work who gets no pay. There
will be something done in Nebraska
when this commission gets ready to
report.
There is no more important subject
before the minds of the public now
than that of rural life. Unless we get
q farm life more developed which will
be satisfactory or the farmers, their
wives, their boys and girls, the young
folks will drift to town, farmers will
move to town, the city will skim the
cream off the farm life; and when the
world must be fed by skim milk farm
ers, the town people will not get fat.

The Annual Waste of Straw.

The Annual Waste of Straw.
Every farmer should know that the
stem or straw that bears his ripened
grain comes in part from the black
vegetable mold in the soil, and that
the black or brown color of the soil is
a good index of its power to grown
crops. This discoloration is caused
by the annual growth and decay of
wild plants long before civilization
began. Therefore, any system of
farming which reduces this quantity
of vegetable mold or reduces its fur
Their accumulation will result in dim
inishing yields.
What consideration then shall be
given the excess straw and stubble in
our fields? Let US give the question
some serious considerations. In the
first place this straw contains the ele-
ment nitrogen, which is necessary for
plant growth, but it is in an unaviala-
bic form Its decay, however, gives
rise, through bacterial action, to q
from of nitrogen useful or available
to plants Suppose this straw to be
burned or otherwise destroyed each
year, what will be the ultimate re-
suit? Reasoning it out as follows We
find that it requires approximately two
pounds of nitrogen to produce bushel
of wheat, or one pound for each bus
bel of oats with the necessary straw
for each. A fifty bushel crop of
wheat or one hundred bushels of oats
will rquire one hundred pounds of
nitrogen.
The average amount of nitrogen in
the soil in this state will run from
1000 to S, 600 pounds per acre foot
1t is estimated that by average
methods of cultivation 2 per cent of
this nitrogen will made available for
plant food, as all nitrogen can not be
used by plants. This will mean from
40 to 100 pounds of nitrogen food
per year, which would be total loss
to the soil when the grain is removed
and the straw burned. In our best
soils this would be 1000 pounds
loss in ten years (one-fifth of the or
iginal amount presently, or decrease
of ten BUSHES of wheat, bushel of
wheat per year. What farmer can
withstand such q loss?
Disking in the stubble after harvest
will approximately save rs per cent
of the nitrogen after wheat and 80
per cent after oats. The presence of
this straw under favorable conditions,
will enable the nitrogen fixing bacte-
ria of the soil to manufacture q fur
Their quantity of nitrogen food from
the cir. Hence on one hand we have
a destructive method on the other
legitimate and worthy system of farm
ing.
Don't burn your straw. If it is
in the stack spread it as manure.

Advice on Alfalfa Given By Wiscon.
sin University.

Alfalfa should be raked and cooked
up the afternoon of the day of cutting
where the conditions are favorable,
according to Professor r. A. Moore of
the College of Agriculture of the uni
versity of Wisconsin. These cocks
should not be left standing in the
field more than two or three days with
out moving, or the alfalfa underneath
the cocks will be partly or completely
smothered By taking a pitchfork and
running it into cock of alfalfa near
the bottom, one can easily move it.
If alfalfa is exceedingly green when
cooked or rainy weather sets in will
''heat" unless the cock is opened
every day or two. In favorable wes-
Their no more difficulty will be expert
enced in curing alfal ia than in curing
heavy clover. Like clover, the leaves
are rich in nitrogen and they drop off
readily when dry Therefore, the aim
of the farmer should be to cure. the
alfalfa with the least possible handl-
ing. Ono-half of the feeding value
may be lost through the westhering
and improper handling of the crop.
A much better quality of hay will
be secured if the crop is cured under
hay caps than in open cock or wind
rows. Caps can be made from light
cotton duck by hemming the edges to
prevent raveling. Eyelets should be
made in the corners in which strings
should be tied to fasten the caps.
Heavy wire, cut 1S inches long and a
loop made at the top in which to tie
strings attached to cap make a conven-
lent arrangement to hold the caps in
place. The wire pegs can be either
run into the ground or pushed into the
sides of the cocks.
Alfalfa is either stacked or placed
in a barn after curing. A good deal
of the feeding value is lost through
stacking as the hay is porous and rain
penetrates the stacks to the extent of
two to three feet. An out side NOW
with roof does fairly well and little of
the alfalfa is lost when stored under
clover. A covering of marsh hay
or tarpaulin will prevent damaging
in the stack. 1t is we'll to let it
''sweat" in the cock, otherwise it
will heat and get musty in the barn.
