CULTURE OF ALFALFA CROP

The matter Of alfalfa growing Is

when yearly fertilized in the above
named sections. We know OF in
stances in California and New Mex
leo, where the same fields Of alfalfa
have been used for several genera
tions, says a writer in an exchange.
In the matter of fertilization, we
must remember that alfalfa draws its
own nitrogen from the air, which 1t
stores in nodules along its roots, but
1t is a heavy potash feeder. Chemical
analysis has shown that nearly as
much potash is required in Its produc-
tion as nitrogen, and nearly four times
as much potash as phosphoric acid.
This fact bears some relation possibly
to the matter of luxuriant growth in
the far West and Southwest, where
the soils are rich in potash in avail.

During this time OF the year, when
the ground is very dry 1t is sometimes
very troublesome while building wire
fence to keep the post from turning
at the corners. Anchor the corner
post about four feet, then dig a trench

post, nail a two by four scantling to
the corner post at the bottom, have
the scantling about four or five feet in

GROUND GRAIN FOR FEEDING
oat Grain Should Be Crushed ana tho
Ear Corn Ground Into Coarse
Meal for Horses and Cows.

A popular grain feed for cows ana
horses is provender-corn and oats
ground together. Corn on the cob and
oats for cows is fully as good as
shelled corn and oats, and the labor Of
Bhelling Is saved. Probably the finer
they are ground the more completely
they will be digested, but there is a
point OF fineness beyond which the
cost Of reduction will be greater than
the gain secured. Just when this point
was reached would depend upon 30
many things, the price of the grains,
the cost of grinding and the value OF
the dairy product, that no definite
statement can be made. But this
much may be said. the oat grains
should be crushed SO as to expose the
kernels to the action OF the digestive
Juices, and the ear corn should be
ground into coarse meal.

BUILDING WIRE FENCE
EXCELLENT SUBSTITUTE FOUND
K FOR RAILS AND BOARDS.
Not Expensive When Ono Considers
Lasting Qualities Of Good Heavy
Galvanized Wire and Inde-
structlble Cement Posts.

(By P. X. EDWARDS. Copyright 1914j
Pigs and the board fence were the
the bane Of our existence as boys, for
no matter how securely we fastened
the old boards the pigs would get out
Just when we were starting for the
swimming hole or going berrying.
Now concrete posts and wire fencing
have become substitutes for the
boards and rails and once set up are
fortunately there to stay.
''But wire fencing Is SO expensive!"
the reader will say. The reply to that
is, "If you do not consider the lasting
qualities Of good heavy galvanized
wire and the indestructibility Of ce-
ment posts" The writer remembers
putting fifty-fve inch woven wire
fence around his garden some nine
teen years ago, using chestnut posts
set twenty feet apart. This fence Is
still standing and is to all appearances
In excellent condition. Regarding the
spacing OF the posts around this gar
den, which bordered the highway and
required 400 feet Of fencing, II we
had used board fence with eight
foot post spacing. thirty more posts
would have been required, and as
these cost even In those days Is cents
each, a saving Of $3.50 was effected.
In this particular case the posts be-
ing Of chestnut (eight feet long) the
butts were painted with a creosote
preparation and set three feet In the
ground.
In using cement posts, which are
easily made at home. be sure to have
the butts of the corner and end posts
extra heavy and then no anchors are
needed; also provide for two bolt
holes In each post, one near the top,
the other near the bottom. to be used
for the bolts which hold the wooden
strip to which the wire is stapled.
In setting some 800 feet of poultry
fencing this past year the writer used
modern heavy woven wire, with six
foot cement posts set three feet in
the ground. To these short posts
were bolted fve-foot wooden strips
three by four inches. to which the
