Fertilizer for Alfalfa.

From my experience horse manure
is the best thing for alfalfa, but don't
advise anyone to put 1t on the year he
sows, says the Farmer. The year be-
fore is best, or the year after will do. II
manure is applied when seed is sown 1t
will cause more filth to come and
smother out the young alfalfa plant,
which is very delicate the first year.
After that it will take care Of itself.
Another fault with manure is In most
cases there is plenty Of timothy seed
in 1t, and the consequence is you will
have a good stand Of timothy. From
what l have used Of alfalfa, no farmer
can afford to do without it. for 1t can
be grown in this state, and why not
try 1t? II you do fail sometimes, and
the seed comes very high, when you
do get good stand 1t is fortune in
the hay line.

Vegetables In Window Boxes.

II you live In fiat and have no
ground available for gardening, do not
give up the idea Of raising some deli
cious fresh vegetables of your own.
Many vegetables will grow in pots and
porch or window boxes Just as we'll
as they will grow anywhere. 1t Is very
easy to grow them. many Of the plants
are as decorative as flowers, and the
product will be much nicer and very
much less expensive than store veg
etables.
The location Of the vegetable boxes
is important. They should be placed
where the sun will strike them nearly
all day. Windows, porches and roofs
can be used to advantage, under prop
er conditions.
It is usually better to use boxes or
trays instead Of flower pots, as the
former will hold more plants to a
given area, dry out less quickly, and
are less liable to get broken.
Any dirt-tight wooden box, eight or
more inches deep, will make good
vegetable box. These boxes have to
be deeper than hot bed trays because
the vegetables are to mature In them
Bore some half inch holes in the bot
tom of the box to provide drainage.
Put in two inches Of cinders, gravel or
other coarse material. Cover this
with from four to six inches Of fine
rich earth, prepared greenhouse earth,
II possible. 1t should be thoroughly en-
riched with fine, we'll rotted manure,
and some wood ashes will help, also.
Coal ashes possess no available plant
food.
Fasten your boxes firmly in place
and plant your vegetable seeds or
plants as you would regular garden.
II possibNs, these boxes should be
planted a month or six weeks before
they are going to be placed out of
doors, 80 as to get good start in the
house. Put them in place when dan
ger Of frost is past.
Keep the soil we'll watered, and aft
er the plants are up 1t will be well to
keep the surface of the soil in a crum-
bled condition, most Of the time.
Radishes, lettuce, Swiss chard, spin
ach. onions, garlic and leek can all be
grown from seed In boxes. Magnifi-
cent crops Of cumcubers and tomatoes
can be had all summer long. These
plants should be pruned and trained
on supports of some kind, either wires,
stakes or strings. Egg plant and pep
per will do very nicely, and we have
seen trellis completely covered with
muskmelon vines growing in pots.
Care must be taken to water, culti-
vate, fertilize and spray for insect
pests IL any appear. II bees and In
sects do not reach the blossom to pol
Innate them, 1t will be necessary to do
this by hand, with some Of the vege-
tables mentioned. Take a camel'a

Eeedinu Hens for Eqqs.

Any good, healthy pullets Will pro-
duce eggs profitably during the winter
months If they were Matched early
enough, regardless of the exact feed
ing method used. This fact is perfect
ly true to a degree, and II we had to
choose between late Matching with
scientific feeding and early Matching
with unskilled, but plenteous feeding,
we would choose the latter every time.
The hen is not very particular
where she finds her food, and she has
an omniverous appetite, but nature
makes her balance up her ration
pretty we'll, provided she has access
to the various elements needed.
At the same time, the early-hatched
fowl will be benefited just as much by
scientific feeding as will the late
Matched one, and the few simple rules
governing poultry feeding should be
thoroughly understood and followed
by every poultry keeper.
BY scientific feeding we mean the
nearest practical approach to the ex-
act requirements of the fowls body
in producing eggs, tissue, heat and en-
ergy.
II hen needs pound Of protein or
Aeshforming food and needs only four
pounds of fats and starches, we must
not feed all corn, because In this case
she will have to eat about twelve
pounds of starch to get her pound OF
protein. and the surplus eight
pounds of starch will be wasted, make
her too fat to lay or make her SICK.
The whole secret IL to mix the food In
order to save that surplus OF starch
and make the hen lay at her top
speed
Here Is what your flock must have
IN order to do their very best for you:
Grain-lThey should receive mixed
grain twice day. about one handful
to the fowl. each feed. Cracked corn,
wheat and clipped oats makes an ex-
celIent mixture. Barley may be used
in place of oats and kaffir corn Is
good grain fin the southwest. Do not
feed whole corn to hens in a mixture
as 1t is harder to digest and they neg
1ect the rest Of the mixture. Feed
grain 10 deep straw during winter
