Advisable to lnoculate.

In regions where alfalfa has not
been grown it is found to be neces-
sary to inoculate the ground by SOW
ing three or four bags of soil secured
from field where alfalfa or sweet
clover. has been grown for a
number of years; or where it
is more convenient, artificial cul-
ture, such as "nitragin," farmo-
germ" etc, may be applied. Where
alfalfa has not been grown before it
may make the difference between sue
cess and failure.
Alfalfa Essentials.
A well prepared, firm. solid seed
bed, plenty of good barnyard manure,
and fallow to kill the weeds, are most
important. Lime? Yes, one to two
loads per acre, and by all means in
oculate. Ground too wet for corn is
not suited for alfalfa.
Make egnning-Start Now.
Every farmer should try at least
small piece of alfalfa and if he
does not succeed at first, try
again and keep on trying until he does
succeed. 1t is worth the while. If
the work is thoroughly done and at
the proper time, you will most GER
tainly succeed in securing good
stand; if the work is half done and
out of season, you will just as GER
tainly fail. Make a beginning-start
now.

the sell are made into mere valuable products required fer the food and pleasure of mankind.
 The profits of the manufa cturer very largely depend upon the kind of Ina- chine used In the manufacturing pree- esses.
 In the manufacturing processes con- dueted on the farm the animal is the machine and, like the manufacturer, the profits to the farmer depend large ly upon the efficiency of the animal
 machine. There are some herses that will eat bushel of oats and tret a mile in two minutes. There are other 1 hQrses that when fed the same kind and amount Of oats, hitched to the same sull1yl driven b.t the same driver over the same track. will do well if they trot mile in four minutes. There is no difference in the oats nor in the driver or the track. It is altogether due to the difference in the efficiency of the two animal machines.
 There are dairy cows which when fed a certain amount of food under certain conditions will produce 125 pounds of butter in a year. There are other cows fed the same food for the same length of time that will as easily produce 250 pounds of butter in a year. The profits from the efficient cow are often ten times greater than the profits from the inferior animal-in fact the inferior animal is generally fed at q loss.
 If it is true that one COW can be so much more profitable than another COW the question is How can we se- cure the profitable COW? There Is only one sure way and that is by actual test. In any herd of cows the milk of each COW should be weighed separately and a record kept. It will be found that on the same food some cows pro- duce double the milk that is secured from others But the investigation should be more thorough.
 There is a very great difference in the richness of the milk from different cows. The per cent. of fat in milk can easily be determined, thanks to the invention of the milk tester No dairy man can successfully prosecute his business without a pair of scales and a milk tester. With these two ap- pIances and with a good system of records it is possible to make over an improbable, money-1osing herd of cows into a money making herd

AMERICAN BOARD OF
 CATHOLIC MISSIONS
Plan to Have Central Body to Control
 Missionary Work.

Boston, Oct. 22.-A central body to control the missionary work of the Catholic church in the United States is favored by a committee which is in vestigating the subject Bishop Regis Canevin of Pittsburg, who discussed the matter before the Catholic mission ary congress today. told the delegates that the missionary situation in this country has been studied by a com mittee of three appointed by the board of governors of the church extension society. While their report has not yet been submitted Bishop Canevin, as one of the members. explained some of the main points.
 The committee found, according to the bishop, that many of the mission ary organizations overIapped each other We came to the conclusion" he said. that it would be better for us to have one single missionary society, board or bureau, as you might call it, operating in the United States taking the charter of one of the present SO ciet1es as foundation, and changing its name to the American Board of Catholic Missions

HOUSING POULTRY RIGHT
Good Feed and Good Care Are Wasted Unless Your Hens Have Good House.
By D. J. LAMBERT,

Poultry Instructor, R. I. State College.
 Poultry keepers of today know that 1t pays to give laying hens a, clean, dry, bright sunny house in which to live, especially in cold weather
 Hen houses for winter layers should be built as snug as possible on the three sides, north, east and west, and with an absolutely tight roof The south side should be almost entirely open to the sun and air. Muslin cur taIns may be provided so as to partly close the front on very cold nights or during stormy weather. There is no danger from exposure in an open front house during the day or at night, pro- Vided that all openings are on one side
 and below a horizontal plane of the roosts. This open front must always face the south or southeast.
 All poultry houses should be located where they will get the morning sun and should be levated so that the rain and surface water will drain away from them.
 An old style hen house can easily be remodeled by tearing out the south front and leaving it open aA, sun and air. If the roof leaks, cover with roof ing paper Both ends and the back of the house should be wind proof. If the house is more than eight feet high it should be sealed up seven feet from the floor. Allow from three to four square feet of floor space for each hen.
 September is the best month in all the year for the annual housecleaning. Remove all fixtures such as roosts dropping boards and nests. Brush the cobwebs and dust from the walls and ceiling and remove the litter and dirt from the floors Where floors are of earth remove as much as appears to be mixed with dirt or excrement
 Then with a spray pump or a brush apply lime wash to every part of the building. This lime wash is made by slaking rock lime with hot water and thinning 10 the consistency of skimmillz. If 2 per cent. of carbolic acid is added the wash will be more effectual as a disinfectant
 The roosts should be painted with kerosene, nests thoroughly cSS1ansed and tobacco dust or stems added to the straw or sawdust nesting material. Cover the floor again with clean sand and fine gravel to the depth of four or six inches If not too course this will provide dust bath for the fowls Where droppinng boards are used un- der the roosts they help to keep the floor clean and facilitate the work of removing manure.

ALFALFA.
YeH Can Hsiee It-Tou Should Raise
 It.
By WILLIAM Q. WING.

ny W V4A<4@4AM "a W4NGs
 There is not a farm that does not aeed alfalfa There is not a farm that cannot grow alfalfa. Alfalfa is grow - clays of Georgia, on nearly all the soils of Virginia. splendid1y on different soil types of New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Rew York and New England.
 There remain no mysteries. no se- @rets about alfalfa growing All 1t asks is that the land be well drained, that 1t be fertile and with enough lime An it, that 1t have inoculation from an- ether adfalfa field and have the seed. Given these things and alfalfa is as vigorous as a weed anywhere in Amer 5ca- True, it will not grow in wet land nor in cold poor land nor in sour. unlimed soil; but. now no one with sense sows 1t in such situations.
 What alfalfa will do for the small farmer is this: It makes a feed as rich as oats for feeding his dairy cows or his working horses It makes hens lay. It pushes the pigs forward cheap Iy. One can get five tons of alfalfa from one acre of good land Five tons of good alfalfa hay are about equal in Seeding value to 300 bushels of oats.
 It would take five acres of your best land 10 make 300 bushels of oats, and they would need be sown every year, where alfalfa once soWn will come again and again for a term of years. Then oats or corn will drain the land of it's fertility; alfalfa will fill 1t with nitrogen. It care is taken to keep the land stored with the mineral elements of fertility. it's phosphorous, lime and potash. alfalfa will do the rest. for 1t gets it's nitrogen from the air.
 The large farm should have alfalfa, hut the small farm must have it be- cause of the need to make every acre do it's best. Five tons of alfalfa hay may be worth to the farmer $125 or even more money, for alfalfa hay is a little richer than wheat bran in feed- Ing value and it will make a great sav- ing when the farmer ceases to buy bran and grows his own supplies or protein.
 From the farm itself should spring up the feed for the animals of the farm. Alfalfa and corn will make milk and beef and pork without re- Hance on any other supplies than those which the farm affords. It is a surer crop than any other except the wild native grasses upon the farm
 The villager should have his plot of alfalfa for his fowls; not to let them run upon it steadily, for that might be injurious to the alfalfa, but to cut for them and for winter feeding.
 Alfalfa makes cheap and abundant eggs and fowls of the finest flavor

Keeping What the MiddIeman General

By E. K. PARKINSON,
Farm Management Expert.

Farm Management Expert
 Growers of produce who are up and doing are never satisfied with indirect sales
 On Long Island, thirty miles from New York is a farm of twenty y-fve acres. Ten years ago it could have been purchased for a few thousand dollars Within it's bounds were an old fashioned house. a barn. a best of all supply of fine water. To this ne- Glected spot came a woman looking for a bargain. Possession soon awoke in the newcomer, at the time in bus 4ness in New York, a, desire to turn her investment to some practical ac- count.
 After thinking the matter over she decided to develop the garden, deVOt- ing it to vegetables and small fruits and also to raise chickens for broilers and roasters. The first year the gar- den supplied an abundance for the household and for guests.
 Encouraged by the first years sue cess-and it should be added that, as the owners business required her to ter, day old chicks were purchased in stead of fowls for breeding-a market gardener was engaged. Under his management the garden produced pro- dfgiously, and the marketing problem became pressing. The distance to New York was too great for the mar ket wagon.
 While these things were being con- Eidered a. friend expressed a desire to have vegetables berries and pair of broilers boxed and sent to her town house twice a week This suggestion proved the turning point. Hampers were procured large enough to hold daily supply of vegetables. fruits and poultry. and little by little a splendid business was built up, so that now be- tween fifteen and twenty hampers are hacked and sent to New York every week day from May to November.
 The price of these hampers is $1, poultry being extra, and the consumer pays all transportation charges. Re gently this woman has found it eX- pedient to drop her business in Florf- da and has begun starting her seeds in hotbeds and cold frames. thus ex- tending her season. This success is due to the owners initiative in strik- ing out along new lines and selling di- rectly to the consumer.
 Not everybody can find an oppor- funity or embrace it when found, but all may be on the lookout for the op- povtunity to establish the direct to you method of selling, which elirni- mates the middleman and his charges.
