Give Your Alfalfa Laid
Thorough Preparation
Should Be Well Worked Before Seed
ina-Directions For Soil In
oculation.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Alfalfa requires more than any other
farm crop, thoroughly prepared seed
bed for successful termination ana
early growth. Sowing alfalfa upon
loose freshly plowed land will, even
under the most ideal weather condl'
tons, result in little beyond dismal
failure.
An ideal seed bed is one obtained by
blowing the land in the fall, then IN
early spring narrowing it until the sur
face is smooth and thoroughly pulver'
lied to a depth of about 2 inches.
Hence, where alfalfa follows small
grain, or a clover or timothy sod, the
land should be plowed as soon as pos
sible after the crop has been removed,
thus allowing plenty of time for al
least one or two good soaking rains to
settle the soil well before seeding
time 1t must be remembered that
FREQUENT surface workings between the
time of blowing and seeding are abso'
Mtely necessary to conserve moisture,
kill weeds, and properly pulveriZe the
-urface.
Unless the land has grown alfalfa or
sweet clover successfully within the
mast five years, 1t will be necessary TO
inoculate. The most efficient method
of incubation is to broadcast over the
field from 200 to 500 or more pounds
of soil taken from a successful alfalfa
field or from where sweet clover Is
growing.
The soil for this purpose should be
ta..en spade deep and applied before
sowing the seed Usually it is better
TO do this Just before sowing, but good
results may be expected if applied
week or two before seeding. AT all
times the soil should be narrowed in
Immediately after applying to prevent
the injurious effects of sunlight.
few hours exposure may kill all the
inoculating bacteria.
The manner of applying the soil de-
ponds largely upon the convenience
with which it can be secured. When
near at hand, in unlimited quantities,
the easiest way of applying Is with
the manure spreader or from the back
of wagon with shoves. When the
quantity is limited then scattering by
hand the same as sowing seed. is the
most economical as well as the mos
effective way of applying.
There is nothing equal TO stable
manure for fertilizing alfalfa. Wren
ever possible the land should be well
covered with manure before blowing,
The danger of weeds in most manure
makes applying it on top of the land
after blowing. and working 1t in I'M
desirable When manure is not avail
able there should be applied at the
time of seeding, 500 to 500 pounds OF
acid rock and SO to IS pounds Of
muriate of potash per acre; depending,
of course, upon the fertility.

HOW TO HOLD TIE
COUNTRY BOY
VIII Be Live Subject For Maryland
Ministers Curing Country Life
Conference At College
Park, August 46.

II the country is prosper, 1t must
young men and young women TO do
30, 1t must make the country a pleas
ant place in which to live. 1t must
make 1t attractive enougl to cause
them to look forward to it as life
home. And, again, the Challenge OF
the Country must be made more &p.
pealing to the ambition and pluck OF
the country boy than is the Challenge
of the City. Urbanitis in the minis
try, and urbanitis in the schools is one
great cause of this present exodus
Plans for counteracting this urbaniti5
and its effect on our young life will be
presented for discussion at the Coun
try Life Conference as a part OF the
rural problem in t e solving OF which
the country church and its ministers
should take vital part.
In truth the Rural Minister has a
difficult condition Of affairs to meet.
County Life has changed and is stu
angling. Although some churcnmen
vaguely realize this, many do not make
study of the problem, nor atte .npt to
analyze it. So there is complaint
that the Church is not fulfilling It's
obligations to the community, and f'l
that reason is losing ground. Old or
eanizations and customs have died out,
and new ones which seem to supplat
TIE Church have taken their place;
with the result that the Church to an
alarming extent has lost its hold upon
tie people.

BALANCED RATiONS FOR COW
Department Of Agriculture Gives Out
r, Mort Of Experiments Made at
the illinois Station.

A report showing the difference In
value of balanced and unbalanced
ration for COWS according to expert
ments made recently by the Illinois
station has reached the department of
agriculture.
Nine cows fed for l31 days a nu-
tritive ratio of l.6 consumed 50.S3 OF
digestible matter per 100 pounds OF
milk. A similar lot fed nutritive ra-
ton of Ill required 6S14 pounds of
digestible matter per 100 pounds OF
milk produced The total amount of
milk produced for the two herds was
1898 and 26,S3909 pounds of milks,
respectively. The first lot consumed
1879 pounds and the second lot 1892
pounds of digestible nutrients per
pound of milk fat produced. The ra-
lions consisted of corn silage, clover
hay, and ground oats supplemented by
gluten fed in the narrow ration and
timothy hay in the wide ration. Be-
cause of the lack of protein in the ra-
ton fed lot 2, the other nutrients were
not used to the best advantage This
shows in a striking manner that an
excess of carbohydrates can not be
made to take the place of deficiency
In protein.

PLUM CULTURE NOT DIFFICULT
They Are the Hardest Of Stone Fruits
and the Most Profitable-Also
Most Remunerative.

Piums are the hardest OF stone
fruits and the crop Is one Of the
most remunerative, in at all favorable
seasons, from market gardens and cul-
tivated orchards. In private estab-
lishments the fruits of all the best
varieties are much valued and less
highly favored ones prove invaluable
for cooking and preserving. The crop
is, therefore, one of the most i'm
portant, both for market and for pri-
vate consumption.
Plum trees succeed in any fairly
good, loamy soil. provided the sub
soil is opened and properly drained,
The ground should be well trenched
previous to planting, although the
roots of plums are naturally disposed
nearer to the surface than those OF
apples or pears. In a very rich soil
the growths usually made are 100 Wig
orous to become we'll ripened; in that
which is moderately light, yet suf
ficiently moist the trees succeed and
produce the best favored fruits. Re.
specting flavor. however, much de-
ponds on the amount of sunshine and
light available
In market gardens where plums are
extensively grown they are sometimes
planted in lines, and the intervening
spaces are occupied with gooseberrles
and currants. Standards and half
standards are generally favored, but
dwarf and bush trees are also ex'
tensively planted In market as well
as in private gardens. All the finer
dessert sorts should, If possible, be
favored with wall spaces in private
gardens, as their fruits are invariably
of so much importance, and the crop
Is more certain with the protection
Of a wall than when the trees are fully
exposed A temporary covering, while
the blossoms are open, may also be
readily applied should frost or I'M
favorable weather prevail. In south
ern slope the fruits attain their high
est flavor.
The manner Of planting the tree is
similar to that recommended for the
apple and the pear. Mulchng in case
of dry weather is advantageous to re-
Gently trans planted trees in general
and should be particularly attended to
in the case of the plum, for If the
root fail to supply enough OF sap to
the tree in dry weather. cumming
is sure to ensue the more uniform
the supply of the sap the more
healthy will be the tree. The supply
of sap cannot be uniform unless the
moisture of the soil about the roots
is steadily maintained, and the best
means of doing this Is by mulching.
The usual mode of propagating cult
waited varieties is by budding and
grating. Some sorts reproduce them
selves nearly true from seeds. as. for
instance. the green gage; but seed
lings generally vary more or less from
the original. and it Is therefore best
not to depend on this mode of propa-
cation, beyond the raising OF seed
lings as stocks for peaches, etc.
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1914-07-30

But we should not harshly criticize
the country minister for this conditioi
There are hundreds of fourishinR
churches in Maryland that stand a.
proof of this good work. His efforts
have been of inestimable value and he
is still giving more literally of his
labor, his love. and of sacrificed ambi
tons than should be necessary. He is
sacrificing more than ever an emissary
of Christ, an example of tie Life OF
Service, should be called upon to sacr
flee. A living wage should be his
share, a religiously active community
his reward.
One of the purposes of the confer
ences Ia to throw more light upon
I actcal ideals of country life; to show
the possibilities of cooperation; to
show how some ministers take adj
vantage Of opportunities that Others
neglect to their sorrow.
II is not the object nor the spirit o.
the conference to md tduH, nor to Gd
rise ont to gire an opportunity tOI
the exchange Of ideas as to the wdW
and means of "mdking the ChHrCh
Serre the WhOIe cOmmunitN"
We have faith in the minister. We
have faith in the farmer That the
farmer does not appreciate the eff
forts of the minister as he should. il
shown by TIE fact that he fails to sup
port the Church, and allows it to strug
gle on as though unworthy of his as
sistance Some farmers claim that
the Church does not answer a real
need, that ii is Of little use to them
that its message is one which they
can do without. The minister replies
that the farmer is ungodly, irreligious
or perverted Are not both to blame
for such & condition? Should not the
farmer support the minister, and show
him how to be Of service? And should
not the minister study the social and
economic life of the farmer, that he
may like the Divine Leader teach In
terms of Gods Great Out-of-doors?
The Agricultural College, like SINH
lar institutions In other States, is TAX.
Ing the lead in bringing our ministers
together for this> discussion of the
country problem since of its freedom
>as a State IN titution from denomina'
tional influence and its deep concern
In the welfare of the country neigh
borhood make 1t the logical host for
such a conference. The visiting minis
ters will be entertained by tie Col
lege, leaving to them no other expense
than that OF car fare to and from
College Park at tie usual minister's
half-fare rate. AS result, ministers
of all faiths are responding enthu'
siastically to the call, and those in
charge of the Conference report very
satisfactory and growing registration
If any minister in the State has failed
to receive an invitation, he Is never
theless cordially welcome and is urged
to notify B. H. Darrow, Gen, Y. NJ {
A. Secretary, College Park, of his In
tention to attend the Conference.

very small profit from $1.21 to S.93.
Just six COWS return profits that
should be expected, from $21.35 to
$2970. No cows producing less than
SIG profit per year should be retained.
Had this herd consisted of ten COWS

cows were kept at positive loss to
falling $101S7. and only four cows
had as much as SIG profit. If the
owner had MIXED only these four cows
he would have made more money and
would have saved the labor of caring
for the other 80.

$112.39, or $7.49 per COW.
Herd No. had Is cows averaging
S.62S pounds of milk and 326 pounds OF
butterfat. making total profit OF
$553S4 and an average Of $42.6O per

herd made profit of s244, which is
more than the total profit of the whole
three herds, /, 2, and 4, containing 73
COWS and returning only 1921 profit in
a year. Although a grade herd, its
lowest COW returned profit Of $3.50,
which Is more than twice that OF the
best COW in herd No. 4.
