Fine ALFALFA
AT WOODWOR1H
II. n. MccuMBER HAD FINE FIELD
AND JOHN HAMES HAS
LlJxURiANT GROWTH.

Woodwork, N. D., Aug. 22.-H. H.
McCumber should feel proud of his
fifteen-acre corn field. For a week past
the field has supplied roasting ears
for the family and their friends. Mr..
McCumber is interested in an expert
mental plat of barley, golden hog mill
let and Grimm alfalfa. The barley is
grown partly on last years corn
ground. This strip promises SO per cent
heavier yield than the adjoining bar
ley on common field. The millet
grown similarly has very lank and a
contrasting luxuriant growth. This
millet is not threshed but bound in
bundles and stacked for winter chick
ems and cows. 1t is fed in the sheaf,
furnishes both feed, exercise and straw
for the hens in winter, and the cows
relish an occasional change in their
menu and millet seems to suit them.
Another year Mr.. McCumber will have
alfalfa to put on the feed list for cat.
tie. chickens and hogs. The alfalfa
sown late last spring on corn ground
has attained nice growth. 1t was
sown with garden drill and inoculat-
ed with tubercle laden soil from John.
