Long Journey.

A railroad from Nome to Cape Horn
is being considered, and sometime
we may be able to take through
sleeper from one end of the American
continent to the other. In that case
we would sample all kinds Of climates
from arctic to tropical and we would
encounter endless variety Of surface
and scenery. Popular Mechanics says
that several routes for such a rail-
road are being considered, but which
ever one may be chosen the lines al
ready built and covering over half the
distance would be utilized, The fact
that these exist makes the project
seem less like dream, but II we
smile over 1t we might remember that
men of affairs laughed at Cecil Rhodes
when he suggested a railroad from the
Cape Of Good Hope to Cairo-the en-.
tire length Of Africa-but that road
is now being built-is more than half

ADWSABILITY OF
WINTER FLOWING
Freezing and ThaWing of Sod
Land Puts It in Good Condi-
tion-KillS Insects.
(By A J. LEGG.)

There is a diversity of opinion as
to the advisability of plowing in the
winter time. 1t is generally conceded
however, that sod lands should be
plowed in the winter season The
freezing and thawing of the soil puts
it in much better condition than it can
be put by plow and harrow after
spring has opened.
Winter blowing also destroys many
insects that would damage crops il
they were allowed to live.
There will be much more moisture
laid up in the soil and saved for the
use of the growing crop the next
year If the plowing is done during the
winter season than there would if il
were left until spring.
The capillary connection with the
subsoil will have time to be renewed
IL the blowing is done early. This lie
an important item that is not often
considered.

years Of getting as nearly all of my

BIG ADVANTAGE IN
USING LARGE SEED
Many Plants Mature Earlier,
Show Increase in Yield and
Grow Larger Leaves.
(By NJ. B. CUMMINGs.)

Extensive experiments show that a
distinct advantage follows the use of
heavy or large seed The results at
tanned with seed sorting with sundry
plants are of assistance in the expla-
nation of several points relating to the
differences in maturity, lack of uni
formity in size, season, and quality of
production.
The advantages which accrue from
the use Of large and heavy sweet pea
seed are earlier blossoming, larger
total number of blossoms, larger
number of blossoms of good quality as
indicated by the size of bloom and
length of stem. Plants grown from
large seed are heavier and bear more
and larger lateral branches,
Hubbard squash and sweet pumpkin
respond well to seed selection. Plants
grown from small seed yielded larger
number and greater total weight of
fruit, but were, however, markedly in
ferior with respect to size and
weight of ripe fruit Special precau-
tions were found to be necessary in
order to avoid a mixed heritage OF
seed.
The merits of large seed in lettuce
culture are shown in the production of
larger Seeding, an increased weight of
early matured plants, which displayed
better heading-up capabilities, earli-
ness and uniformity in filling the
heads; in short, augmented earliness
and quality.
Heavy spinach seed outclasses light
seed in weight of plants, width and
number of leaves, height of main stalk
and general earliness.
Parsley, a biennial herb which
quickly renews its top when cut back,
gives not merely larger and earlier
foliage, but shows greater recupera-
tive powers when the larger seed is
used.
Radishes, one of the shortest Of
short-term crops, show good gains in
favor of large seeds. Sorting the sizes
from the same parent gives as great
a contrast as sorting composite SAM
pies, showing that gains may be made
irrespective of the nature of the parent
plant. Large seeds give more uni
form crop ready for use about one
week in advance of small seed.
Trials with beans resulted in favor
of the large seeds. The advantage
accruing from the earliness of the
product grown from the large seed is
somewhat Offset by its later germina-
ton.
In single trial garden peas made
little or no response to size selection
Of seed. although a slight gain was

tRy V. sHoEsM1TH.l

(By V. SHOESMITH)
Aside from its value as a soil i'm
proven there are three important
places that alfalfa may occupy on the
farm: Seeded alone as a hay crop;
seeded alone as pasture crop for
hogs and under certain conditions
for other classes of stock, and for
mixing with the grasses and clovers
for meadows and pastures for all
kinds of stock Under soil conditions
favorable for the growing of this crop,
1t is generally advisable to use alfalfa
for all three of these purposes. A
good stand of alfalfa may be expected
to produce more hay than any of the
grasses or clovers and the annual risk
and expense of seeding is largely done
away with. Every general or stock
farmer should seed small acreage
near the barn as pasture for hogs.
A western man, writing about alfalfa,
said: "a pig in an alfalfa field is sure
to make hog of himself"
On many farms portion of the soil
is only fairly well suited to the grow
ing Of alfalfa; besides some of the
grasses should be seeded to produce
hay for the horses and to avoid the
danger OF bloating when used for pas
ture, SO that it does not seem prac-
ticable to devote all of the seeded
area of the farm to alfalfa, as good
as it is. Even under these conditions
alfalfa, if seeded with some of the
grasses and clovers, usually proves to
be a. very valuable part of the mix.

"A Good. Swell Name"

one day was shaved by a loquacious

slipped and the suds were succeeded
by alum.
Mr.. Collier made no complaint, but

he would forthwith adopt.

acreage at the first attempt is not rec
commended, as the risk of failure in
the hands of the inexperienced grower
is toe great, but the alfalfa seed
should be mixed with the regular seed
ing of clover and should also be seed.
ed alone on a small acreage ard this
increased from year to year until the
desired acreage is secured.
Alfalfa is a leguminous plant, and
closely related to the clovers, COW
peas, beans, ETC., and like them is able
to take its supply of nitrogen from the
atmosphere It thus improves the
soil in the same way clover does.
However after the alfalfa has been
seeded in the field for several years
and the nitrogen content OF the soil
increased by the decay of roots,
nodules, stubble and leaves, the crop
will feed on the nitrates made from
this source and will take a smaller
percentage of its nitrogen from the
atmosphere. The alfalfa then does
not do as much to build up the nitro
gen content Of the soil after it has
been grown for several years in q
field as it does during the first two
or three years after seeding. 1t is
therefore, not advisable to leave enc
field seeded for an indefinite period
of years, or as long as it produces
satisfactorily as is commonly done
but to seed a new field which needs
building up and to plow up the ole
field, which should be in excellent
condition to produce very satisfactory
yields of corn and other crops.
