FEW ALFALFA FACTORS.
Under Irrigation it is Better to Sow
With Nurse Crop.

Climatic conditions and other fac
tors influencing the growth OF alfalfa
occasion SO much difference between
the humid regions of the east and the
arid districts of the west that the
same rules are not applicable i'll both
cases. This is noticeable to a consid-
cradle degree iii seeding alfalfa. Some
OF the most successful alfalfa growers
have found it best to SOW alfalfa alone
although nurse crop is frequently
used even here Under irrigation con
ditions it is usually best to sow with
a nurse crop.
Both the time and manner of plant
ing are determined. of course, largely
by altitude and by soil conditions. If
in an altitude over 5000 feet it is best
to seed just as soon in the spring as
danger from killing frost is past. This
plan prevails largely i'll northern Col
orado, in the high areas of the San
Luis Valley, and throughout the
mountain regions generally, says the
Orange Judd Farmer. The high val
uation placed on irrigated land makes
farmers loath to lose one years crop,
and is one OF the influencing factors
Tor sowing with nurse crop.
The nurse crop usually chosen is
one which proves most remunerative.
or which can be utilized best under
prevailing conditions Wheat and oats
are used quite largely because they
pay best, but barley has been found
TO make the best nurse crop If it
were as profitable to western farmers
as wheat or oats it would be used en-
o.. t.. IL Il al
The common plan is TO drill i'll the
seed, using from 8 to 10 pounds per
acre, depending on the quality of the
seed character OF seed bed and meth
cd OF. sowing. TIL full amount OF seed
grain for the nurse crop is not sown,
however, only from one-half to two
thirds the normal amount per acre
being used. This gives the alafalfa
more room and better chance to
grow. The nurse crop is usually re
moved before the alfalfa has grown
enough to need more room.
Another reason why nurse crop i
advisable is that many types OF west
crn soils are inclined to blow Fine
particles of soil and sand, driven by
the wind. are likely to cut down the
young alfalfa plants and injure or de
stroy the entire seeding. The roots OF
the small grain tend to keep the soil
from blowing and serve as protec-
tion to the tender young alfalfa plant
until it has become thoroughly rooted.
Many farmers have been successful
in drilling alfalfa in with their winter
wheat as early i'll the spring as con
ditions will permit In the higher por-
tons OF the west and southwest, such
as the Arkansas Valley and other re
gions still further south summer or
fall seeding can be done successfully
w. H. DIN. of Idaho, who has had a
very extensive experience with alfalfa,
states that the greatest obstacle to
fall or summer seeding is the tendency
Of many types of western soils to bake
after being irrigated. He has never
been successful in getting good stand
of alfalfa where conditions made II
necessary to irrigate a crop.

Feeding Spring Pigs.

Spring pigs intended for the market
early in the fall should be well fed.
Skim milk mixed with heavy mill
feed, adding a little linseed meal will
make a good nourishing slop. Give
what they will eat up clean twice 4
day. Give clover pasture during the
day, plenty of clean fresh water to
drink. shade and dry house to go UNI
der at night. A full supply of wood
ashes. burnt wood or coal ashes, mix
ed with a little salt and sulphur
should be kept in trough under cover
where the pigs can get when wanted
This mixture will keep the blood pure

POULTRY ROOST CLOSET.
Stress Laid on Curtain in Front OF
House at Maine Station.

In the curtain-front type OF poultry
house used at the Maine experiment
station a feature OF the original plan
on which considerable stress was laid
was the canvass curtain in front OF
the roosts.
This curtain, together with the back
wall OF the house and the droppings
board under the roosts. formed clos
ct in which the birds were shut up at
night during the cold weather. When
the curtain front house was first de
vised il was thought essential to pro
vide such a closet to conserve the
body heat Of the birds during the cold
nights when the temperature might go
well below zero. Experience has
shown. however. that this was a mis-
take. Actual test shows that the
roosting closet is of no advantage.
even in such a severe climate as that
OF Orono. On the contrary the birds
certainly thrive better without the
roost curtain than with it. II has been
a general observation among users OF
the curtain front houses that when
the roost curtains are used the birds
are particularly susceptible to colds.
Ii is not hard to understand why this
should be so. The air in a roostine
closet when il is opened in the morn
ing is plainly bad The fact that II
is warm in no wav offsets phvsiologic
allv the evils of its lack OF Oxygen
and excess OF carbon dioxid. ammon'-
acal vapors. and other eXhalationS
from the bodies of the birds
For some time past IT has been te'f
that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary. If not in fact a noSit,vc
evil. Consequently the time Of heo'n-
ming to close the roost curtain IN the
fall has been each wear LONGER DELAYED
Finally. in the fall Of 1910, il was de.
c;dcd not to use these curtains AZ AL
during the winter Consequently they
were taken out Of the house. or sp,.ed
to the roof. as the case might be The
winter of lol0-ll was severe one
On several occasions the tempcratrre
dronped to 30 degrees below zero Yet
during this winter the mortality was
exceptionally low and the egg produc-
ton exceptionally high.
In view of this experience the sta
ton has decided to discontinue the use
of the roost curtain. II would seem
to be generally undesirable or at least
unnecessary.

WYANDOTTE IN FAVOR.
Excels in Ability to Be Pushed for
Rapid Growth.

The Wyandotte is smaller than the
Plymouth Rock, but AN equally rapid
grower 1t is generally claimed that
the White Wyandotte will stand push
ing for rapid growth the best OF any
breed.
As layers the Wyandottes seem to
rank about with the Plymouth Rocks
but being somewhat more active and
having less tendency to overfatness
they should be credited with a Slight
advantage.
The Rhode Island Red breed con
stitutes the latest addition to the list
Of popular American breeds of chick
ems. This variety differs from the
majority of breeds in claiming for
themselves an origin based solely on
practical consideration.
They are partly OF Asiatic blood
but in their selection. which extends
over period of fifty years. attention
has been paid to rapid growth and
egg production. so that the breed to-
day more nearly resembles the Leg
horns than does either the Plymouth
Rock or Wyandotte.
One fundamental difference still ex-
lists that shows the Atlantic origin OF
the red chicken, they being persistent
sitters.
The Rhode Island Reds do not re
produce themselves with certainty a.
To shade OF color or style of comb but
in practical points they may be con
sidercd a distinct and well-es tablished
breed.
In the eastern part of the United
States are many farms keeping from
one to several thousand hens and de
voted exclusively to the production oil
poultry and eggs for the market
The use OF any breed on such farms
should be good witness OF its utility
The tabulation OF the breeds used on
such plants as are shown to the
writer gives the following results:
White Wyandottes occupy first
place, being used OH about twice as
many plants as any other one breed
Single comb White Leghorns. Barred
Plymouth Rocks and White Plymouth
Rocks follow next in order Rhode
Island Reds. Light Brahmas. Buff
Wyandottes. Buff Plymouth Rocks.
Brown Leghorns and Black Minorcas
are the other breeds in use Leg
horns. Minoreas and Rhode Island
Reds are used on the egg farms.
Light Brahmas and Plymouth Rocks
on the rooster and capon plants.
while the broiler and combination
plants use Plymouth Rocks. Wyan-

The prices have gone up amazingly
in recent years. 1t is a mistake to be
lieve that beans can only be grown
probably in the States which are now
producing the greater portion of the
bean crop-New York. Michigan and
California.
Hundreds of thousands of bushels
of beans are grown in Maine. Wis
consin, Ohio. Pennsylvania. Iowa-in
fact. the successful production ex-
tends as far south as Florida.
There are also heavy bean produc-
ing sections in Vermount, Illinois, In
diana and Minnesota
In fact. beans can be grown and
matured successfully in all northern
attitudes, and many southern States
have demonstrated successful bean

Authorities tell us that any soil that
will grow wheat and corn is adapted
to the profitable production OF beans
Experiments have proved that beans
yield better on old land than on new
An inverted clover soil is ideal for
beans.
A common rotation for large bean
growing sections is clover, beans and
wheat.
Bean experts recommend deep

the soil is thoroughly warmed.
The planting time recommended by
the most successful bean growers of
