GROWING Alfalfa.


In preparing the land for alfalfa It
IL best to go slow. The first step is to
pillow the soil deep and prepare it the
first year for potatoes or corn. using
ten loads Of manure per acre. pulveriz-
ing or narrowing the land down in
good shape. The corn or potato crop
should then be kept thoroughly clean
for a season. This will destroy weeds
and the ground will have time to settle
properly for alfalfa. Then the follow
ing spring the land should be double
disked. rolled and narrowed. The seed
can then be sown with an ordinary
wheat drill as follows:
Mix. and mix thoroughly. about six
pounds Of cornmeal to ten pounds Of
alfalfa seed. The ordinary drill when
closed to its finest celebration will SOW
about sixteen pounds per acre. Thus
sixteen pounds Of the mixture will
mean ten pounds of alfalfa seed. This
Is considered about the best amount to
SOW per acre under field conditions.
Another method Of sowing ls to GOV.
er or plug up all but the first. seventh.
ETC., holes in the drill with the indi.
Gator set at the same position as be-
fore. This will take about one pound
of seed per acre and will put the rows
forty two inches apart, far enough to
be cultivated.

It is very unjust to neighbors to per

THE DEADLY CUTWORM.

Il Has Been Destroying Wheat In West.
srn kansas--Preventive Measures.
The mysterious worm which has
been reported to be destroying wheat
in western Kansas Is none other than
the common clayback cutworm, &C.
cording to George A. Dean, professor
Of entomology In the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
When the first report Of damage
was received an entomologist was sent
into the infested region. Infestation
was found to be confined practically
to wheat fields containing much volun-
teer wheat and to grass lands and al
falfa fields. Unless weather conditions
are unfavorable for growing crops, the
worms will probably. says the ento
mologists, cause no great loss of the
wheat crop.
Preventive measures are best for
controlling cutworms. II the wheat
fields are plowed during the summer
and the volunteer wheat is kept down
until after seeding there Is very little
danger. Cutworms often migrate from
field to field, In which case good dust
barrier should be constructed In which
the worms may be destroyed. Where
the worms are migrating or are con-
centrated In small area. they can
probably be killed by using the poison
bran mash employed against grass
hoppers. This should be sown In the
evening along the edge of the field
that the worms are entering.

Straw For Hats.

The greater part of the straw em- ployed for making summer hats comes from Italy. To obtain suitable straw for this purpose the wheat is sown as thickly as possible In order that the growth of the plant may be impover' ished as we'll as to produce Il thin stalk.
 The Italian wheat blooms nt the be- ginning of June and is pulled up by the roots when the grain is half de- veloped. Should 1t be allowed to re- main in the ground longer time the straw would become too brittle for its purpose.
 Uprooted straws to the number of about five dozen, the size of the com pass of the two hands, are firmly tied together in little sheaves and slowed away in barns. After that the straw is again spread out to catch the heavy summer dews and to bleach fin the sun. When the product has been sufficiently bleached it is put into small bundles and classified.
 The last step is to cut 1t close above the first joint from the top. when it is again tied up in small bundles contain ing sixty stalks each and is then ready for the market-Chicago Herald.

Too Much of a Breakfast.

Even Peacock's generous ideas of suitable provisions for breakfast were surpassed by a London host who entertained J. l.. Motley. Aug. 8, 1S67r Motley writes to his daughter: "I went to the last breakfast of the season of the Philobiblon society, given by Mir. Turner, collector of rare books. Be ginning with coffee and tea. we ended with sherry, champagne and maraschi. no; fish. outlets, rotis. salads, game, buildings and ice going on meanwhile in regular order. If you asked me what I did I can only say l opened my ears to the animated and fntellec- tual conversation and my mouth, not to eat, but to gape and gasp and won- der at the prodigious consumption of victuals at that hour of the day. When I reflected that all those people would lunch at and dine at I bowed my head in humiliation. and the fork drop ped from my nerveless grasp."-Lon- don Chronicle.
