Alfalfa.

Many alfalfa growers prefer
late summer or fall planting ol
alfalfa for several reasons. Crab
grass and fox tail and a dozen
other grasses and weeds that are
so destructive to young alfalfa
and are making their best growth
in July and August offer the
chief reasons for September
planting.
1t is easy to get an ideal seed
bed in the fall. II a few acres OF
wheat land may be given to alf-
alta, it should be plowed now and
and kept cultivated until no moro
grass or weed seeds germinate.
Then drill the alfalfa at the rate
Of 10 pounds per acre. If land
now growing cow peas or some
cultivated crop is the place where
we wish to SOW our alfalfa, these
crops should be harvested as
earley as possible and the seed
prepared by disking.
Three things must remembered
in starting elfalfa:
(1), Use lime to be sure the land
is not acid.
(2), Apply dirt from an old all.
alta field, or get inoculating ma
terial from the Department Of
Agriculture, Washington. D. C.
(3), The land must be we'll drain

makes it air tight.
The entire material for a 100
ton Gurler silo can probably bs
bought at any lumber yard in
the state for S175. In sections
where native lumber is available,
the cost will be much less. Any
man handy with tools can build
this silo. The Missouri college

how to build the gurler silo.

From Hahatonka the road will
lead north across the Usage near
Linn Creek, proceeding to Jeffer-
son City, where connection is
again made with the southern
route of the Missouri Cross State
Highway, and the traveller fol-
lows this into st. Louis, complet-
ing the minor circle.
Themajorcircleisapproximately
800 miles long, while the minor
circle is little less than 400 miles
1t is believed when properly con-
nected up and with fair weather
one of these circles will give a
splendid review of the Ozark re-
gion, and with proper advertising
it will in time become the estab-

all over the country, who will
ship or drive their cars to st.

Along these roads there are
thousands of places for every
conceivable pleasure of an outing

ing, fishing, hunting, mountain
climbing, cave exploration and
many other forms of outdoor
pastimes.
People living along this pro-
posed route say 1t is destined to
become as popular as the Cat
skilis or the mountains of Vir-
ginia. The Ozarks offer as grand
visstas as the Rocky Mountains

A Cheap Silo For Missouri Far,
mer's.

A 100 ton silo that can be bull
complete for S225.OO will appeaI
to many Missouri farmers. This
silo is the Gurler or plastere d
silo. A number Of them are in
use IN the state at present, and
because of the low price ct which
they can be builtit is probable
that many will be built this sum
mer. They preserve silage az
we'll rs any other kind, do not
dry out and fall down when
empty, and with reasonable care
can be expected to last about
fifteen years. One on the exper.
iment station farm was In fair
condition at the end of seven.
teen years service when il was
torn down to make way for the
more permanent cronorete silos.
This type Of silo is framed
much like q house wall. A cir.
oular foundation, is first put IN.
A mudsill is set in the founda-
ton, and two by four studding
are set on this mudsill. Sheet.
ing ons.half inch thick is nailed
to the inside Of the studding.

The Poultry Mite.

Mites are the greatest poultr,
enemy during the summer. They
are small, transparent insects
that infest the poultry houses
When gorged with blood, the,
appear red and thus are knowr
as the red-mite. Frequently
they appear in large patches ir
cracks and dark places about tn
buildings.
One rarely finds them on the
fowls. They remain in the house
during the day and crawl on tc
the bird at night, feeding by bit.
ing the skin and sucking ths
blood. They breed best in dark
damp plac es and multiply very
rapidly.
The Missouri College CT Agri-
culture offers the following sug-
gestions for preventing and era
dicating mites. The first step ID
to construct a poultry house go
that it has an abundance Of light.
There should also be liberal
amount Of ventilation so that tho
house is perfectly dry. Win
dows should be screened 80 that
sparrows cannot bring them from
infested quarters. Absolute
cleanliness will derive them OF
places favorable for their breed.
ing.
Applic alton OF remedies should
be made to the house and roost-
ing quarters. Scalding the
roosts is not as effective as dis
injecting with some of the coal
tar jisinfectants. Whitwashing
the house, painting the roosts
with creolin, or kerosene oil will
keep down the infection. Ar
ranging the roosts so that the
mites are unable to crawl on to
them, setting the ends of the
roosts in oil cups, growing the

The Use OF Fertilizers For
Wheat.

The use of fertilizers for wheat
in Missouri is increasing. This
is due partly to the fact that the
land is getting high in value az
compared with it's productive
capacity, partly to the fact that
the land is becoming more worn
and partly to the fact that the
use of fertilizers is becoming bet.
ter understood. On worn lands,
the application of even small
amounts of commercial fertili.
zers is usually accompanied by
good returns. This is partly true
OF prairie land, although the
same holds true on worn timber
land.
Wheat requires for its best
growth a soil which is Particular
ly well supplied with available
nitrogen and phosphorus. In
Missouri most soils have a rath.
er large quantity of potassium
and this is, therefore, not so i'm.
portant to the wheat crop, ex.
cept on the most worn soils,
Where land has grown clover
regularly and especially where
some manure has been applied
or crops pastNrsd down, the use
of nitrogen in the fertilizer 10 n oil
so necessary. On such lands
the Missouri College Of Agricul.
ture advise the application OF a
steamed nemeal containing
around | p cent nitrogen and
u to 80 pc snt phosphoric acid,
used at the ate Of 100 to 200
pounds p, acre. Where the
soil contain plenty of lime, the
use of 125 I 200 pounds Of acid
phosphate ii bring rs good or
better returl sthan will the steam
ed bonemes
On soils { at lack both nitro.
gen and phosphorus, which is
the case with most OF our level
prairies and the more worn tim.
ber lands, complete fertilizer
containing 2 or 3 per cent nitro.
gen, 8 to u per cent available
phOsphoric acid and 2 or 8 per
cent potash is to be recommended.
This should be applied at the rate
Of 100 to 200 pounds per acre.
The higher the grade of the fer
tilizer, that is the higher the per
cents ST the ingredients present,
the less the rate of application
may be.
1t should always be remember
I'D in using fertilizers that they
will not maintain soil fertility,
especially when applied in the
amounts above suggested. One
oannot depend upon fertilizers
alone. The use of fertilizers
should be supplemented by grow.
ng clover and cowpeas, by ma
nuring and by practicing a good
system OF crop rotation.

Blast Furnace al EIsinore.


News now comes from Carter
county that a blast furnace is to
be put in at Elsinore to reduce
iron ore. The building Of the
plant will be under the super
vision of l.. W. Searies of Bir-
mingham, Alabama. twill have
q capacity Of from 10 to 100 tons
per dsy, and the estimated cost
will ps between 100000 and
s5Oo,UOo. The plant will include
a chemical plant to utilize the
chemical by-products of wood
and to burn it's own charcoal.
The proposed plant will be on
the Hunter branch of the Frisco
railroad, adjacent to the town Of
Elsinore. The company expects
to build a complete town of its
own similar to the town OF Gran
din, West Eminencs and the
Ozark section of Winona, for the
accommodation OF its employees.
This new enterprise will be a
great boon to the iron industry
in THE ssslion of the state. Thus
far the iron industry in this part
of the country has been at a
serious disadvantage owing to
lack of transportation facilities.
Since the blast furnace OF st.
Louis wentinto bankruptcy a few
years ago, there has been but
little market for iron ore. Part
Of the shipments were made to
smelters In the state of Ohio
which made the freight rates
necessarily high. There is but
one smelling plant in operation
in the state OF Missouri, and that
is the Sligo furnace at Salem,
Dent county, which is cut off
from this locality.
The ores in this section are
classed as ''brown ore." OF late
these brown ores have been at.
tracting attention. The question
has been of obtaining a method
Of reduction. 1t is now thought
that these brown ores will be
more profitable in the event the
Elsinore plant ls erected. That
plant will be prepared to reduce
ores of that character and there
fore will be adapted to the needs
Of this locality.
The brown ores are known as
the primary and secondary Ii
monites and thus far only a small
part of.the productions have been
from ore of that kind. There
are immense deposits Of these
ores all over the state OF Mis-.
souri,. The greatest number OF
best deposits, however, are said
10 lie in the southeastern section
of the plateau. A large quantity
of these ores are available and
owing to the fact that they are
light near the surface they can
be mined with little expense.
With reduction plant close at
hand they should be mined with

way 800 Miles Long.


The ozark region, though pre-.

grandest and most beautiful
scenery in the world, has unit
recently been unknown to the
automobile tourist. It is pro.
posed, by the cooperation of the
state authorities, local CONNER.
eiallcluhsss1ate and local good
roads enthusiasts and automo-
bile clubs along the route, to
connect up and eventually con-
etruct two drives or circles
through the heart of The hill
country, one of which will re-
quire seven days and one three
days to cover.
The major circle will start from
st. Louis and cover the Arcadia
highway, a beautiful drive lead
ing through Jefferson county to
Desoto, touching Maxville, An :
tonic, Hillsboro and Victoria on
the way; thence south across
Big River to Bonne Terre, Flat
River and intermediate towns in
the great ST. Francois county
lead belt.
From Bonne Terre a spur TO
this highway has been built con-
Meeting Leadwood and Irondale
with Its beautiful Greenia Springs
and Big River, newly discov-
cred for tho fisherman and the
hunter. From Flat River this
pike leads to Pennington and
then on to Doe Run.
Through the almost deserted
village OF Iron Mountain, once
one OF the greatest iron mines in
America, the road lead south
through the Arcadia Valley, q
place saturated with Missouri
history and romance and know
for its beauty throughout the
country.
From Arcadia it is proposed to
run out along the Greenyille
road, through the corner of
Madison into Wayne county,
touching Greenville, thence pro.
ceeding to Williamsville and
south along the famous Black
river to Poplar Bluff. From this
point the road plunges into the
OZarks, leads west past Neely-
vile, Naylor and Doniphan,
where it crosses the rushing
Current River on a newly con-
structed bridge and proceeds on
the old road to Alton, the inland
county seat of Oregon county,
and almost due west to Brands
vile, in the heart of the famous
fruit belt. AT this point the
Memphis line of the Frisco is en-
countered, and the road is very
fair from Bradsville to West
Plains, and on up through the
thriving towns of Willow Springs
Cabool, Mountain Grove, Mans
field, Cedar Gap, Seymour and
other towns to Sprinheld.
The cities of Springfield and
Sedalia have been working for
over two years on the connecting
lines passing north through Boil
ivsr in Polk county on up through
Hickory and Benton counties TO
Sedalia. This road has ell been
laid out and 1t is only q matter
OF time until il is completed. Att
Sedalia connection ;s made with |
the southern route of the Mis-
souri, cross-state highway and
this highway is followed on east
into st. Louis, completing the
last leg of the major circle.
The minor circle leaves the
major circle after following the
Arcadia highway to Ironton, pro.
eseds almost due West to Salem, |
the county seat Of Dent county,
and then proceeds northwest to |
