ALFALFA SEEDING.
Experiments to Determine the Proper
Amount of Thickness.

Experiments to Determine the Proper
Amount of Thickness.
1t is often recommended that alfalfa
be seeded with twenty pounds to the
acre in order to insure a good stand of
plants, yet experience of many farm
ers shows that splendid results have
been secured from only ten to twelve
pounds of good seed. A great deal de-
ponds on how much of the seed germi-
mates in either case, and the question
is how much seed would give the best
yields of hay if different rates of seed
ing were tested under uniform condi-
tons. Ten rates of seeding were made
at Rocky Ford. Colo, on the expert
ment station farm.
The lowest seeding was two pounds
per acre, with an increase of two
pounds per acre up to twenty pounds.
The seed was sown under ideal condi-
tons on a very uniform field. The
test was made in duplicate, II series
with common alfalfa and another with
Baltic alfalfa. Records have been
completed on foul cuttings of hay dur
ing 1918. There is very little differ
ence in the tons of hay per acre, and
the records should be continued for
several years before the results will
indicate what rate is best.
The thin rates of seeding made coars-
err, more stemmy hay, while the very
thick seedlings gave very fine leafy
hay, almost too fine to get the maxi
mum yield. The thin stands were
more weedy the first and second sea-
sons, while the thick seedlings We're al
most free from weeds the second year.
Plots seeded with eight to ten pounds
of seed per acre We're the best. all
points considered. If conditions are
good for termination, ten to twelve
pounds of good alfalfa seed should give
satisfactory results, and if conditions
are not good twenty or ven thirty
pounds will not insure a stand.

anywise sick separate them immedi-
ately from the remainder of the herd,
and keep them and the main herd I'M
der close observation daily. If there
is a tendency for the disease to spread
in the herd the trouble is probably hog
cholera. This diagnosis may be CON
irmed by killing one of the sick ami
mails and examining the organs in the
manner described in Farmers Bulletin
379.
Fourth.-When the first symptoms of
sickness are observed an immediate
change of feed sometimes corrects the
trouble. That is particularly true of
swill fed hogs.
Fifth.-If there is any tendency for
the disease to spread in the herd do
not temporize. but Immediately treat
the herd with serum from the state
college or state live stock sanitary
board. Prompt administration of the
serum is essential to success.
Seventh.-Remember that hog chol-
era kills millions of hogs where other
diseases kill thousands. Dismiss from
your mind all thought of such diseases
as lung plague" INFECTIOUS pneu-
monia," pig typhoid" etc. for these
are generally merely fanciful designa-
lions given to hog cholera by %uninform-
ed men.

H GOOD FERTILIZER.

AS the time approaches to clean up
ash pits and bins and to distribute ash
piles, it is we'll to be reminded of the
value of this product.
Coal ashes may be put upon the land
if the coarsest portions are raked or
sifted out, and these clinkers will
serve as drainage or foundations for
walks about the barnyard and poultry
yard.
Fine coal ashes may be worked into
a clay soil with very good effect OF
rendering it more porous as well as
supplying some of the chemicals nee
.essary to the growth of plants.
For fertilizing the lawn nothing is
better than fine wood ashes, and if
distributed during the winter and early
spring the result will be a heavy growth
of grass.
All small fruits and orchard trees are
benefited by a treatment of ashes, and
borers that work around the base of
the trunks of trees are almost entirely
prevented from entering the bark.
A moderate amount of ashes and SCOT
worked into the soil around roses
greatly increases the richness and bril-
lance of coloring in the blossoms and
makes fine foliage. Care must be taken
not to loosen the roots, as roses like
rich, firm soil.

Home Rule and RomanIsm in ireland

The Irish Home Rule hill,
which was passed by the En-
glish House of Commons May
25th by a decisive vote, pro-
vides for the establishment
of a Senate and House of
Commons which shall have
the power ito make laws for
the peace, order and good
government of Ireland"
But it will not have power to
legislate in matters affecting
the army, navy, treaties, for
eign or colonial relations,
naturalization, aliens. coin
age or legal tender. Among
the reserved services" upon
which it cannot legislate are
the Irish Land Purchase Act,
the old age pension laws, the
national insurance of labor
exchanges acts, postal and
trustee savings banks or
public loans made in Ireland
before the passage Of the act
The religious equality pro-
vision is as follow:
''In the exercises of their
power to make laws under
this act the Irish Parliament
shall not make a law so as to
either directly or indirectly
establish or endow any reli>
gion or prohibit the free exer-
else thereof or give a prefer
ence, privilege or advantage
on account Of religious belief
OF religious or ecclesiastical
status or make any religious
belief or religious ceremony
a condition Of the validity Of
any marriage"
And these privileges are
just what Ireland wanted a
free hand in and they will
find a way to exercise them
too, if it be nothing less than
the boycott. Yet as for as
laws go they are better than
we have in free" America.

warns the hOmesteader that there are
many difficulties to be encountered.
On the south coast, where the eli
mate is mild, tillable land is scarce be-
cause of the proximity of the noun
tains to the shore line. Elsewhere in
Alaska the winters are long and very
cold, and frostproof buildings must be
provided for shelter of family and
stock.
The swampy character of much of
the surface of Alaska makes it a great
breeding ground for mosquitoes and
gnats, which are almost intolerable
pests to both man and beast. 1t also
makes drainage a prerequisite in or
der to remove the surplus water so
that the land can be worked, raise the
temperature of the surface soil, lower
the frost line, facilitate the decay of
the accumulated organic matter and
bring about chemical changes which
will transform the soil from a very
acid condition to one much less so.
Nature requires much time for this
last process.
Where the vegetable Accommodations
are largely moss this must be destroy
ed either by burning or by carting it
from the land, for if plowed under it
decays very slowly and seems to have
an injurious effect on most crop plants.
The timber growth, which occurs
on practically all the land suitable for
tillage, must. of course, be cleared from
the land.
All this work-building houses and
barns. draining, clearing land of moss
and timber-is very slowly accom-
plished in the short outdoor working
season if done single handed by the
homesteader and costly. almost pro-
hibitiveiy so if hired labor is used, be-
cause of the high wages and living ex-
penSeS.
Lack of general transportation which
would open up the country, of local
wagon roads. schools, churches and
other fpati!ras of present day life and
of the markets in which to sell farm
products and from which to obtain
home supplies and farm equipment
are deterrent features at present, but
they will disappear in time.
The federal homestead laws extend
to Alaska. excepting that. instead of
100 acres. 800 may be filed upon. Very
little of the available land has been
surveyed. but that work is now in
progress. One may locate Oh unsur-
veyed land. file a claim and establish
lines by metes and bounhs, but he
cannot secure a title until a survey
has been made by an authorized sur
veyor and the survey approved. If the
survey is made in advance of that
made by the government it is done at
the expense of the homesteaders, and
that is heavy.

FARMING IN ALASKA.
The Possibilities of That Terrific

The Possibilities of That Territory
and What Can Be Grown.
So far as topography, soil and eli
mate determine the matter, Alaska has
probably 100000 square miles of area
on which there are possibilities for
farming and grazing. The larger porzz>
ton of the farming land is in the. in:
terror, in the Yukon drainage, according
to the department Of agriculture's new
bulletin, entitled Possible Agriculture
al Development of Alaska"
Currants, raspberries, g~ooseberries,
stra wberries, blueberries and cranber-
ries are plentiful in Alaska. Varieties
of wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes
and many other vegetables have ma
tured every season since the depart
ment started its work at it's two most
northern experiment stations. The de-
partment has four stations. One is on
the Yukon within s~eventy-fve miles of
the arctic circle, another is also in the
interior, while there is one in the
southeastern and another in the south
western portion of the territory.
1t has been positively demonstrated
that forage crops may be grown in the
southwestern and central portions as
well as potatoes and other garden veg
etables. Chicken raising is also prov
ing feasible. 1t has also been estimat-
ed that a great number of farm prod
ucts are shipped in that might easily
be raised on the ground.

citing so many optimistic facts, also
