SECURING STAND OF ALFALFA
Excellent Argument Presented In Fa-
vor Of Spring Seeding With Oats
az Nurse Crop.

A seven-acre field of alfalfa on the
Ohio state university farm, at Colum-
bus, presents good argument in IA
vor of spring seeding, with oats as a
nurse crop. This field was seeded
April II, at a rate of Is pounds OF
alfalfa and a bushel of oats per acre.
both sown in the grain drill at the
same operation. On July is the oats
were cut for hay. making a yield Of
a little over a ton and a half per
acre.
BY September 10 the alfalfa was
ready for the first cutting, and the
yield of field-cured hay on the seven
acres was 1880 pounds, or a little
over nine tons 1t is rather unusual
to secure crop Of hay the first sea
son after seeding. but good seed prep
araiion and favorable weather condi-
tions this past summer are partly ac-
countable for this excellent stand
The field, which is level and well
drained, was in potatoes in 1910.
That fall 1t was sown to rye, which
was plowed under the following
spring and the land planted to corn.
Last fall this corn ground was plowed
with deep tilling machine. and left
for the winter. In April 1t was thor
oughly disked and narrowed, before
the alfalfa and oats were sown.

GARDEN and
NOTES

Keep a record-our memories are
short.
Now Is a good time to examine the
seed corn.
Almost. all our common garden veg
etables require a somewhat alkaline
soil.
Let the manure freeze after being
hauled to the field: not around the
barn.
When the silo is thoroughly dry 1t
is well to treat the inside of 1t with
coal tar.
The finer the soil. the better the
vegetables. both In quantity and
quality.
Most farms should carry more live
stock, in order to help maintain the
fertility OF the soil.
To kill Canada thistles in a field, put
the field in some cultivated crop and
keep the weeds down.
Riding on manure spreader has
assisted many man to where he
could ride In an automobile.
II you'll save a little seed corn
earlier in the season, you'll save a
little money later in the season.
The growth Of oats and young
grass should be allowed to start well
before turning animals on the pas
ture.
Fill in about the houses and barn
wherever there are low. wet places
No matter what the weather, go dry
shod.
Strong leather gloves are neces

Want to Know the Truth.
The following letter was received
by DR.. Hartman through his regular
correspondence:
Il notice the testimonial OF Mrs.
Alice Boyle, which you give in your
last article. If l should write her do
you suppose she would give me fur
ther particulars? have heard 1t said
many times that such testimonials are
fakes; that they are either absolutely
fictitious or else the people have been
hired to write them. l have been in.
clined to write you a great many
times but these stories about patent
medicine advertisements have dis
couraged me from doing so. / am
afflicted with catarrh and should like
very much to find remedy such as
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
There has been 80 much said against
them. SO much controversy concern
ing them, l am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence in
them.
wish you would write Mrs. Boyle,
as one woman to another wish you
would ask her v1Hther she has been
hired to write Bdch a testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents
the truth.
hope you will remember that she
is a housewife. like yourself, that she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she is woman Of mod.
crate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. l hope you will enclose
stamp so she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is a very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh would be very glad
to hear Of the result. can assure you
that no use will be made of your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter. which is my
reason for doing SO. and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic ca
tarrh who take Peruna. There is no
doubt about that. Some surprising
recoveries are reported almost daily.
