MAKE CULTIVATION
OF ALFALFA EASY
Several Western Kansas Farm
ers Try New Method by Plant
ing Crop in Rows.

The seeding of alfalfa In rows to
make cultivation possible is being
advised for parts Of western Kansas
by w. A. Boys, demonstration agent
at Hays. He has interested nine
men in this, method of planting, and
has secured some good, upland al
falfa seed. One hundred and fifty
acres will be planted. Some of the
seed will be sown broadcast, but most
of it will be planted in rows. Even
if the alfalfa does not give high for
age yields, as compared with yields
of lands adapted to growing alfalfa
by the usual methods, the forage will
be very acceptable to balance the
ration with rough feeds easily pro-
duced in this territory. Mr.. Boys
thinks that the crop will be valuable,
also, in a rotation scheme for west
ern Kansas.

Many people are looking for bar
gains in horses and mules, especially
at this season Of the year.
The farmer thinks he can, no doubt,
attend public sale in the large cities
and pick up something little sore
but just as good for work as a first
class animal" In this he is mistaken
as he will soon find out.
The bargains" are all more or less
crippled in one way or another and 1t
will be we'll to remember that the old
saying that Mature never forgives an
injury" holds good most certainly
with horses and mules.
Spavins, ringbones, side bones,
sweeny, naricular lameless, sprung
knees, contracted heels, cooked ankles
and other similar ailments are fixtures
In 80 cases out of 100.
The writer has bought and sold
horses for over 80 years and can
hardly recall an incident where one
of the cripples has ever been made
serviceably sound, much less actually
sound.
So the farmer can bear in mind the
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1914-02-13

fact that when he buys a knocked
up" city horse. that he is taking long
chances and he had better pay q
decent price and get an animal that il
perfectly sound, although the pur-
chase price be considerably more.
These sore, stiffened horses or mules
may do fairly good work on soft,
plowed ground but when it comes to
using them on the road for any pur-
pose they do not fill the bill and most
farmers have some hauling on the
thoroughfares nearly every month Of
the year.
There is no reason why the farmer
should not have sound, we'll matched
team-one that can do the regular
field work, do service on woed and
when the occasion requires, take the
family to the neighboring town or
church in proper style.
And another thing, the hired man
takes little interest in working a mis-
matched foot sore team but much
prefers one that Is sound and one that
responds to good attention, which he
is generally willing to bestow upon
them.

PROFIT IN RAISING
HIGH GRADE SEEDS
An Ever Increasing Demand for
Sweet Corn, Garden Peas and
Beans of Good Quality.

A letter sent from the U. s. depart
ment of agriculture, division of publ
cations will be of considerable inter
est to those who follow in any degree
the raising Of high grade seed,
Concerning sweet corn, garden peas
| and beans it states there is much
profit in the raising of high grade
seed
Seed crops of sweet corn, garden
peas and beans of good quality are in
ever-increasing demand and the guam
tity needed yearly has become sc
large that the seedman is obliged tc
have the major portion of his stocL
grown for him by others.
within the past few years there
has been an enormous increase in the
quantity of seeds produced for com
nlercial purposes.
This has been due, in q large
measure, to the development of seed
growing and its handling as bust
ness in the United States.
"One of the largest of these bust
nesses uses buildings with an aggre
gate floor space of more than 16 acres
This space is much larger than was
occupied by the entire seed trade OF
the country only so years ago.
"The quality also has vastly i'm.
proved One of the most encouraging
developments in the growing of gar.
den vegetables is the increasing recog.
milton of the practical Importance of
using pure and uniform stocks of
seed whose varietal characteristics
adapt them to distinct local conditions
and market requirements.
Another consideration is the fact
that the growing of seed crops of
these vegetables can be undertaken
without any radical change in farm
practice or material increase in farm
equipment.
These conditions make the indus
try well worth the attention of far
mers who are located wherekso and
climatic conditions are favorable for
the best development of such seeds.
However, the raising of these veg.
etables for seed crops is not recon-.
mended for all circumstances, even
when soil and climate are suitable.
THE farmer who contemplates un-
dertaking seed crop farming will do
we'll to consider thoroughly the many
elements which enter into profits.
"Seedmen are often able to place
contracts for growing seed at very low
prices-even lower than that at which
grain of the species can be sold on
the market
Such condition might be due to
any of several causes, but usually
rests on an over-supply or a demand
for an inferior product.
The general tendency now, however,
Is decidedly in the other direction, and
both seed dealers and seed growers
can do much by cooperation to furth-
er this tendency.
Dealers should not buy by sample,
no matter how good the sample may
be, but should endeavor to limit his
supply to seed which he knows was
grown from pure and true stock seed
and, as far as possible, to that which
was subject, while growing to his own
inspection.

LUNG DISEASE OF
HORSES iNCURABLE
Treatment for Broken Wind Can
Only. Be PaIIiative-Avoid
Dusty or Burnt Hay.
fRv w. r GILBERT.)


Broken wind is the old-fashioned
name given to the chronic lung COM
plant, associated with difficult breath
ing in which, in marked cases, the act
of expiration is performed by double
effort, inspiration being little, IL at
all, removed from normal.
We have only to look at horses
flank to see this double effort and alb
dominal breathing and press his
throat with the fingers and thumb-in
other words to cough him, in order to
see if he is broken winded or not.
The cough is characteristic, spas
modic at first, but as the disease ad-
vances, becoming single short and
suppressed. The trouble is incurable
and the treatment therefore can only
be palliative.
The difficulty in breathing increases
when the stomach and bowels are con-
gested with food and water. Both are
to be given only in small quantities at
a time. Green food and cut grass
should be fed at intervals.
The food should always be damp
ened with water Dusty, or burnt hay
are to be avoided as are also chopped
straw and over-ripe rye grass,
1t is a good plan to mix quarter
of pint of linseed meal oil with each
feed. AS regards medicinal agents,
their action on broken wind can only
be temporary.
Every dealer has his specific for
this disease. Some give the animal a
pound of lard, or any sort of good fat
made into balls, while others give q
quantity Of leaden shot. A subcutan-
eous injection of morphia many re-
sort to.
These things do no permanent good
and the palliative treatment, If care
fully carried out, is of great bene-
fit to the poor animal and may be
looked upon as the only treatment for
a broken-winded horse.
