Fertility. NOT LOST
IN FEEDING ALFALFA
Crop Draws Most Heavily on
Lime and Potash, Resembling
Clover in This Respect.

An alfalfa field will yield on an av-
ernge 5000 pounds of cured hay per
acre in one season. This cured hay
will contain about $3.50 pounds OF dry
matter. The number of pounds OF
each OF the four most important ash
constituents removed from an acre by
seasons crop OF alfalfa hay. as COM
pared with clover hay, Ia as follows:
Potash-alfalfa. 206 pounds; clover.
Sc; phosphates-alfalfa, 58 pounds;
clover, %: lime-alfalfa. SO pounds;
clover. IS: magnesia-alfalfa, 22
pounds; clover, IT.
Alfalfa draws most heavily on the
lime and potash. resembling clover In
this respect, but because of its heav-
Ter yield per season. greater quantity
of these ash constituents Is removed.
II the alfalfa is fed on the farm and
the manure well preserved and re-
turned to the land, but little fertility
is lost. II 1t happens that the soils are
poor in these constituents, fertilizers
of lime in the form OF land plaster and
potash In the form OF wood ashes can
be profitably applied.
With the aid OF nitrogen gathering
bacteria, alfalfa. like clover. can use
the free nitrogen of the air, still II
must not be inferred that fair sup
ply of nitrogen In the soil is unneces-
sary or that the application OF nitro
genous fertilizers is always wasteful.
Professor Dyer of England has shown
by careful experiments that the use
OF moderate quantities OF nitrate OF
soda has been decidedly remunera-
tive"
He found that in Ave years. an an
ahual dressing OF one hundredweight OF
nitrate OF soda per acre gave an In
crease OF nearly three tons OF green al
falfa fodder per acre per year. while
an annual dressing Of two hundred
weight per acre gave an increase of
four and half tons OF fodder per acre
per year. From this he calculated that
there was annual profit due to nitrate
OF little more than four dollars per
acre In the first case and over six dol
lars per acre in the second case.

Many successful breeders and feed
ers of swine ara inclined to discour-
age the practice OF breeding their sows
to farrow two litters a year.
In fact. some writer's upon swine
subjects are inclined to believe that
II will pay a man to kill. or otherwise
dispose of every pig farrowed later
than the first week in September.
Both observation and experience
have convinced me that the profits
from the fall litters depend fully as
much on the care and management OF
the young pigs as they do on the time
they are farrowed
Unless a man has comfortable hog
houses and abundance of room to pro-
vide exercise for the fall pigs he
should not attempt to grow them.
Personally | feel sure that l can
make a profit, as large profit. from a
limited number OF fall pigs as l can
from the litters that are farrowed dur
ing March and April
The fall pig crop is easier to handle
and the young pigs possess more vi
taiity and strength than the litters
that are farrowed In the spring after
the sows have been without exercise
and abundance OF succulent foods that
are hard to obtain during the win.

swine breeder and feeder.
The SOW that has been allowed the
run of the pasture and the forage
crops during the summer is usually in
ideal condition for the ordeal OF far

The class of farm feeds available
during the fall is better adapted TO
the needs OF the SOW and pigs than

HEIGHT OF ROOSTS
FOR THE ASIATICS
Brahmas and Cochins Being
Quite Heavy Fowls Should
Not Be Compelled to Fly.

Roosts for Brahmas or Cochins
should not be more than a foot above
ground. Being very heavy birds. they
cannot easily fly. and 1t is better that
they should not be compelled to.
Some breeders do not allow them to
roost at all. but instead heavily bed
the floor OF the pen and allow the
fowls to squat wherever they feel in
clined
But in allowing them to roost on
the floor. care must be taken that
there are no drafts. which often is the
case II the doors do not ft tightly.
Leaves or cut straw make good bed
ding for such fowls. and II each morn
ing the droppings are collected the
birds will do as well on the floor as on
the roosts.

usually show greater length of skirt

Since the materials of which the

the way of trimmings on them.
The popularity OF caps of this kind
is assured. They are more brilliant
