The history OF alfalfa in the east
ern states runs back for at least two
centuries, as the colonists made re-
peated attempts to establish 1t. The
attempts on the part of the Ameri-
can colonists to establish 1t were I'M
successful. The limestone region sof
central New York probably consti-
tutes the area of Its longest continued
culture in any section OF the East. In
South Carolina there is field reported
to be rs years old. Alfalfa has also
been grown locally i'm most Of the
eastern states for many years. The
black prairie soils OF Alabama and
Mississippi are proving especially
adapted to alfalfa. The successful
districts have usually been the some

SO far as climate Is concerned al

sections where the rainfall is only IA
inches a year, and also in the Gulf
states where the annual rainfall may
amount to IS inches. A rainfall OF SO
inches a year is ample for this crop.

the clay soils especially are apt to be
too poorly drained In such q climate
weeds and fungus diseases prove
much more Injurious than under less
humid conditions. Although the
adaptability OF alfalfa is great. yet in
the areas not perfectly suited to its

sary to provide the very favorable con-
ditions required by the young plants
in order to overcome the natural

Cost of FEEDING Hogs.

The cost OF producing hogs is prin.
cipally feed. The man who produces
feed upon the farm that can be used
to advantage is usually the most sue
cessful in producing pork at the least
cost. Grain and mill feed are high
compared with forage. Alfalfa or clio.
yer cheapens the grain feed.

those that have shown themselves 10
be good mothers. Do not be tempted
by price or any other consideration to
part with them as long as they will

been proven. Attention to this matter
