We have raised large broods in the

find they are very much like the tur-

an ornamental as we'll as the most
profitable OF all the ducks will find the
Muscovy satisfactory.

fALFALFA ON DRY LAND.

(By PHILo X. BLINN. Alfalfa Special

There Is a wide interest In informa.
ton for growing alfalfa on dry land.
and many attempts to seed alfalfa are
made each year, but with almost az
many failures. Quite often. due to
poor preparation Of the soil before
hand and trying the ordinary thick
seeding method which over pastures

full attempts in growing alfalfa on dry
land.
The experience Of dry land farm
er who started right will be OF inter.

Ing to seed alfalfa.
February 9, 1912. Mr.. H. E. Hess of
Deer Trail, Colo, addressed an In.
qulry to the Colorado experiment sta
ton. which set forth the following:
Il am living on a homestead eight
and one-half miles southwest OF Deer
Trail. have farmed part OF my claim
for three years. One piece OF about
one and quarter acres has been
deeply plowed and well cultivated.
intend to plant It to Grimm's alfalfa
in the spring; will plant in rows AZ
inches apart and cultivate for the
purpose Of raising seed. Where can
! buy the Grimm seed, and how much
will need?
"My land Is not irrigated, the alti.
tude about $500. the soil clay loan,
originally covered with buffalo sod"
The above inquiry was answered as
fully as possible by letter. advising
that from description his deeply pillow.
ed piece would be safe to try alfalfa
on, and that his plan outlined should
give success.
Under date OF Feb. 2. 1913. Mr..
Hess again writes. as follows:
After receiving your letter I de-
cided to try Baltic alfalfa. as you
seem to think 1t equally good for hay
and better yield than the Grimm.
II bought two and one-half pounds
Of the Baltic alfalfa seed and. after
disking the 1k.acre piece several
times and narrowing 1t twice. on May
IS, in the evening. sowed In rows

pounds per acre. used garden

II clipped It July 12. when 1t varied
from 6 to 9 inches high, and again
August Is It was clipped. averaging
little taller than the first time It
was clipped. The alfalfa made a
nice growth until the ground fross up
solid. was surprised that II grew
so late in the season and during such
unfavorable weather.
THE clippings were left on the
ground for mulch, and, although ]
did not cultivate last season the
ground did not crust over but re.

ture to keep It growing.
From what saw here. came to
the conclusion Of the following
points:
First. Alfalfa will not grow very
tall the first season.
Second. Alfalfa requires deep
plowing and thorough preparation Of
the seed bed.
Third. Each plant requires plenty
