The cutting OF alfalfa should be done
when not more than one-half the
plants have blossomed.
At this stage the yield for the sea
son will be greater than If cut earlier,
therefore more feed will be secured
Late cutting Of the first crop Injuries
the plant and the increased yield from
succeeding crops will not make up for
the loss OF the first crop.
The leaves of alfalfa contain much
more feeding value than the stems
and every effort should be made to
save the leaves.
When the ground and weather are
dry it will cure readily and is safe to
rpke within few hours after moving,
and to stack within a few hours after
raking

so dozen toads, and two and a half
bushels Of frogs arrived on the Ameri-

the matches were opened however, and
sunshine penetrated the vessels hold

When alfalfa is very rank and sue
culent and the weather is damp 1t Is
not great task to dry the leaves, but
the stems will be wet.
Always have the hay dry enough be
fore stacking that when handful OF
stems is twisted together no water can
be squeezed out.
Now early in the morning, after the
dew is off, allowing the sun to wilt the
swath. Then rake and put 1t in mar
row tall cocks before night
The next morning, after the dew is
off, open the cocks, but do not shatter
the leaves the following afternoon the
hay will usually be in shape to stack.
OF course you will sometimes be
governed by weather conditions, but
when the weather is fair this is very
satisfactory method to follow,

pounds of phosphorus in the first
seven inches, and this entire amount
of phosphorus would be sufficient for
only 20 years OF such farming. On
the other hand, suppose with this crop
rotation We can secure from the soil
each year only one per cent OF the
phosphorus contained in the first
seven inches; this would be only -
pounds year, and would necessarily
reduce the crop yields much below the
amount suggested.
Three crops OF corn in this rotation
would remove 290 pounds of nitrogen
per acre. If all the nitrogen contained
in the clover crop is taken from the
air, the clover roots and stubble would
apply only so pounds Of nitrogen to
the soil Here will be a net loss OF
more than 200 pounds Of nitrogen in
this rotation.
1T Is not possible to maintain the
supply of nitrogen by such system.
Where this rotation Is successful for
O time, It Is due to the fact, that the
soil nitrogen has been drawn upon
year by year, while the chief effect of
the clover has been to extract phos-
phorus from the soil for its own
growth and for the use of succeeding
crops
IF the yields were only half those
assumed above they would not be re-
duced so rapidly, but 1t would be a
matter of a little longer time when
such rotation would fail
"On land capable OF furnishing nj.
trogen for even a 50bushel crop OF
corn the clover crop will undoubtedly
draw a third Of its nitrogen from the
soil and not more than two-thrds from
the air. Consequently since two-thirds
of the nitrogen in the entire plant is
removed in the tops, the roots and
stubbles will leave no more nitrogen
in the soil than the plant takes from
the soil
IF all the crops taken in the rota-
ton are fed, including the corn-stalks,
and II threefourths OF the nitrogen Is
returned in the manure, we have suf'i-
cient to replace that removed in the
corn and oats crop. Possibly the
grain farmer can maintain the nitro
gen by blowing under everything pro
duced excepting the grains and the
clover seed, preferably only one corn
crop being grown In rotation.
This nitrogen can be maintained
easier In a six-year rotation. to include
about two years OF pasture, using a
mixture of red clover, alsike, timothy
and red top, instead OF seeding red
clover only, with the oats. This would
mean three grain crops, and meadow
and pasture the other half OF the
time"
