ALFALFA.

BY WILLIAM O. WING,

ny WILLIAM ~. WING,
There il not a farm that does not need
alfalfa. There is not a farm that cannot
grow alfalfa. Alfalfa is growing on the
sands of Florida. on the red clays Of
Georgia, on nearly al the soils Of Viz
gina, splcndldy on different soil types
of New Jersey. Pennsylvania. New York
and New England
There remain no mysteries. no secrets.
about alfalfa growing All it asks is that
the land be we'll drained, that it be fer
tile and with enough lime in it, that it
have incubation from another alf,lfa field
and have the seed Given these things
and alfalfa is as vigorous ne weed
anywhere in America. True It VIII not

nor in sour unllmed soil; but, now. no
one with sense sows It I'M such stua-

what alfalfa will do for the small farm
or is this II makes IL feed as rich as
oats for feeding his dairy COWS or his
working horses. 1t makes hens lay 1t
pushes the pigs forward cheapy. One
can get five tons Of alfalfa from one acre
of good land. Five tons of good alfalfa
hay are about equal in feeding value to
300 bushels of oats.
1t would take five acres of your ho~t
land to make 700 bushels OF oats, and
they would need to hc sowu every year.
whereas 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 it with
nitrogen. Its care IS taken to keep the
