Alfalfa supplies the dairymen and
stockmen with valuable forage and
saves for them a large portion of the
money annually expended for high
protein feeds. The value of alfalfa
as feed for all farm animals, in
Guiding swine and poultry, is so well
known that 1t is unnecessary to speak
extensively of its merits. No single
forage plant combines the materials
for a profitable ration for dairy cows,
sheep and brood sows so well as does
alfalfa.
The success or failure with alfalfa
depends largely upon the seed. Be-
fore placing an order for seed, sam.
pie should be secured from each Of
several good seed houses and germ
ination and purity tests made. Often
seed that looks good will give low

test below so per cent. should be re-
garded with suspicion. Its vigor Is
seriously impaired, even though 1t
may sprout,
For the test, simple tin plate or
pie tin can be used by placing it in
cotton flannel pads, cut to fit the in
side of the plate. These pads should
be soaked in water and then squeezed
in the hand to remove excessive mois-
ture. Lay the first pad in the larger
of the tin plates and scatter 100 seeds
on the pad; put the other pad on
top of the seed and then cover with
the smaller plate to retain moisture.
Plates should be kept at ordinary
room temperature and examined at in
tervals of "a hours If pads dry out,
sprinkle them with water If seed Is

days fine vigorous sprouts Will be no.
ticeable. The sprouted seed should
be removed at the end Of the fourth
day and the unsprouted seed left nj
least two days longer. The germinat
ing power is expressed In per cent.
Alfalfa will grow on wide varie
ton of soil ranging from rich sandy
loan to a heavy clay, but a rich clay
loan over gravelly sub-soil seems
to be best. 1t Is practically useless
to try to grow alfalfa on sandy or
worn out" soils without an abundant
supply of good barnyard manure.
Sweet clover an ordinary roadside
weed, which naturally grows to the
height of five or six feet throughout
nearly all the counties in southern
Wisconsin. is one Of the essential al
falfa bacteria distributors When a
farmer is In doubt as to whether or
not his land contains the proper bac.
terra he can successfully inoculate
his fields by scattering on them soil
from an old alfalfa field or where
sweet clover has grown. For best re-
suits. two tons Of earth per acre
should be scattered Immediately pre-.

How to Save Manures.

The large losses of plant food which
result from the exposure Of barnyard
manure to teaching by rains and inn

changes are one of the greatest
wastes Of our present agricultural
practices. and to demonstrate the me-
cessity of greater care the agricul.
tural chemistry department of the
state eXperne nt station at Madison
has this season instituted field tests
in 10 different counties. Direct com
PARSONS by means of crop yields Of

leached manure; (b) leached manure;
(c) untreated or control plots.
These tests have been made in the
southern and eastern counties OF the
state where dairying and animal hus-
bandry are most prominent The sea-
son, in general. was exceedingly I'M
favorable last year for all fertilizer
experiments, but In spite Of this draw
back, about half OF the experiments
showed marked positive gains in
plant growth on plots treated with UNI
leached manure. as compared with
those receiving equivalent amounts OF
manure which had been previously ex.
posed to the elements, and Invariably
a substantial gain was secured in
MANFRED plots, In comparison with
control plots receiving no manure.

Some Good SOUPS.

Judge.
Some Good Soups.
Soups are always frequent dish
on our tables, and the making OF
soup Is worthy space and discussion.
The art of soup making is easily mas
tered and 1t is not necessary for a
good soup to have large variety of
ingredients When celery is expen-
sive the outer stalks and the roots are
saved for flavoring soups.
There are two classes of SOUPS
those made with stock and those with.
out. Under the soups with stock
there Is bouillon, brown soup stock,
white soup stock. consomme and lamb
stock.
lnder soups without stock are the
creams, purees, bisques and fruit
soups.
Pea Soup.
Drain can of marrow fat peas
from their liquor, add a pint of cold
water, two teaspoonfuls of sugar and
simmer 20 minutes. Rub through a
sieve, reheat and thicken with two
tablespoonful each Of -four and but
ter. Scald pint of milk with a slice
of onion, remove the onion and add
the milk to the pea mixture; season
with salt and pepper. Peas that are
too old to serve as vegetable
may be used In soups.
Veal and Sage Soup.
Remove all fat from two and a half
pounds of veal and chop fine. Cover
the meat with three quarts of cold wa
ter and bring slowly to the boiling
point. Simmer two hours, skimming
occasionally; strain and reheat Soak
a quarter of pound of sage with wa
ter to cover for half an hour then
turn into the hot stock and cook 30
minutes: add two cups of scalded
milk and pour slowly over the yolks
of four eggs slightly beaten. Season
with salt and pepper and serve.
Swiss Rice Soup.
Cook half a cup of rice in two
quarts of boiling water; add a table
spoonful of chopped onion, a bit Of
mace, sprig of parsley and a tea
spoonful of salt. When the rice is
soft rub through a sieve, bind with a
tablespoonful of -four mixed with a
little cold milk, season and pour over
half cup of cream and two eggs.
When serving, sprinkle each dish with
grated Swiss cheese and chopped
parsley.

have free access to it. It IS then only
necessary to replenish the feeding
hoppers once month.
Unless the range furnishes plenty
of amusement for the flock. 1t is prac-
teal in the late afternoon to scatter
some cracked corn or wheat among
the leaves and tall grass of the fence
corners in order that the fowl VIII
have to search and scratch for their
supper. In case the range Is eXcep-
tionally good this grain can also be
fed in the hopper. There Is no need
for meat in the ration, as grasshop-
pers and ot)>.r insects supply all that
is necessary. In case of light grass
hopper crop. a little buttermilk or
skimmlk can be advantageously used
in the ration.
Dependent on the condition of the
soil, cultivated or pasture the number
of chicks per acre varies consider
ably. Where the ground is to be culti-
waited the following year 500 to GOO
birds per acre are not excessive, while
on pasture land not over 100 fowl
per acre should be ranged. 1t is wise
to move the portable houses several
times during the season, especially
! on pasture range, as otherwise the
soil around the house becomes too
badly mixed with droppings.
An additional advantage OF the edge
of the cornfeld for the range Is as re-.
CARDS protection it affords against at
lacks by hawks. The type Of pasture
range preferred should be In well
drained location, shady in heat of day
yet allowing plenty of sunlight TO
penetrate the houses and flock for its
germicidal values. Glover or alfalfa
pasture offer ideal range conditions
although any variety Of pasture OF
healthful location Is satisfactory.

There is nothing more charming than

will persist in going blindly to the trial.

ample time in which to prepare, but
