BY RAIL
Opening Up of the BIuebeIl
Branch is Said to Be On
Tapis This Spring---Benefit
Cisco Country.

1t is said the St. Paul railway
IS contemplating the putting on
ofregular trains this summer on
the "BlpebelI' branch, and the
building of a station near Ten
derfoot and High lakes.
II this done, it will be of gres t
benefit to Mrs. Amanda B. Mil
Ter, who conducts Camp Ten
derfoot" on Tenderfoot lake; to
Herman Pope on High lake, and
John Oxley on Wolt lake, who
also operate resorts.
Mrs. Miller will lie able to
transport guests but two miles
rs against eleven miles by water
and portage from Cisco lake
station. She will therefore do
away with her steamer on Cisco
lakes, a team on the mile and
half portage between West Bav
and Palmer lakes, and feet of
canoes on Palmer. Pope on
High lake will transport but
three miles instead OF FIVE, and
O&lev equally the same distance.
Should the St. Paul put this in
operation it will mean the open
ing up of that section and insure
much better service.
The "Bluebell" branch runs
from Boulder Junction north in

GROWING OF ALFALFA
Farmers Should Study Up
On This Forage Crop Be
fore Sowing.

?
Alfalfa seems to be the all abb
sorbing topic among farmers at
present, and if half the acreage
now talked Of is put in that for
age crop will surely have a good
trY-out
Ex-Governor w. d. Hoard,
who has given alfalfa thorough
test, issues a word of caution to
farmers who have never grown
alfalfa. His idea is for the farm
er to try only a limited acreage
on the start, not more than one
or two acres. for the purpose Of
studying the plant and the soil
conditions of the farm. The
longer alfalfa is grown and fed
upon the farm the more ideal the
conditions for a successful growth
becomes. The agricultural ex
pertinent station at Madison has
issued the following suggestions
regarding this forage crop;
SELECTION OF GROUND.
For best results with alfalfa a
piece of land should be selected
that has a porous subsoil with q
gentle slope. Land that has
raised cultivated crop the prev
year is preferable. The soil
should be we'll drained and sui
hciently open to allow the roots
to penetrate to considerable
depth; vet an examination OF
soil in the various alfalfa dis
tricts show that there is a much
wider variation in the soil CON
ditions than has been generally
supposed. Some elegant fields
are found on perfectly sandy soil
while others on loamy soil,
while again other heavy Weld
ing fields are found in a mixture
of both above soils, q sandy
loan. The main feature we
think is to have a sub-soil suf-
ticiently open to allow the roots
to drive down after moisture and
nOurlshment
TIME OF SOWING.
In the northern states alfalfa
is usually sown, indeed should
be sown IN the early spring. IN
the southern states fall sowing
has shown very excellent results.
Weeds are one Of the greatest
enemies that alfalfa clover has
as A seeding of same is more ike
Iv to be choked out during the
Summer by weedy grasses than
from any other cause. For this
reason a thoroughly clean piece
of soil that has been worked and
is reasonably free from weeds,
should be chosen and the seed
sown early in spring, say up to
the first of May
AMOUNT OF SEED-SOWING.
Working upon the supposition

soil for the reception OF seed.
thoroughly-that is, plowed
deeply and narrowed very care
fullv-then the seed can be sown
broadcast or with a grain drill
In dry regions drilling is often
advantageous as it places the
seed in contact with moisture,
but otherwise broadcast seeding
is preferred Where alfalfa is
sown broadcast, it should be
slightly narrowed in, or better
have same covered by drawing a
plank drag, or still better, press
seed into the soil by means Of a
land roller.
