stubble land just as 500 as the cereal
crop Is removed. 1t may pay to disk
it twice and then pillow it four or five
inches deep. 1t p~ulverizes better If it
is disked before blowing. Those who
are afraid of doing a little extra work
in fitting the soil should never under
take the growing of alfalfa, because 1t
is a crop that needs a little petting.
After blowing it still requires con-
siderable labor on the surface to bring
the seed bed into good shape. If the
ground is cloddy it will need many
h%arrowings, and in some cases it is
necessary to alternate the roller with
the harrow in order to smash the
Jumps. 1t is generally a good plan to
harrow the surface every few days
until seeding time, because this tends
to conserve moisture, and 1t firms the
soil so that you have a friable. yet a
rather solid seed bed.
When it comes to seeding 8 about
twenty pounds of seed per acre. Some
growers like the plan of sowing half
this amount Of seed in n direction
and half in the opposite direction in
order to be sure that none Of the
ground is missed.
It must not be assumed that follow.
ing the above outline is all that is
needed in getting a stand Of alfalfa.
What we have said refers to the
preparation of the seed bed only, and
we infer that those who undertake to
grow the crop have determined in ad-
n whether their soil Is sour or not.
Where sweet clover grows we'll alfalfa
generally succeeds, because neither Of
these crops will thrive where there is
q large percentage Of acid in the soil.
II it has not been tested out with
sweet clover a sample Of the soil
should be taken and tested for acid.
There is NO secret about this test.
Simply get a little blue litmus paper
at the drug store, take a handful Of
the soil from different places In the
field, roll 1t into a mud ball around a
piece Of litmus paper. In five or ten
minutes, IL the soil IL acid. the paper
will turn pink. If the paper turns out
to he partly blue and partly pink this
would indicate that there Is some acid
present, but possibly not enough to
injure the crop. II the paper turns
entirely pink in color 1t is quite likely
that the land, for alfalfa, will need
an application Of from one to two tons
Of ground limestone per acre. AS a
general proposition 1t pays to start In
with alfalfa on a small scale and as
certain the needs of the soil.
Then, there is the matter Of getting
the soil properly inoculated, which
may be done by the commercial cul-
lures, which are applied to the seed, or
the same end a be attained by
getting some soil from IN old alfalfa
neld or from ground upon which sweet
clover has grown. Unless the alfalfa
organisms are in the soil the crop will
have a delicate appearance and. as a
matter Of fact, 1t will never amount to
much either for hay or for enriching
the soil.
It will DO seen. therefore. that the
starting In IN the proposition of grow.
ing alfalfa Is not rs simple q matter
% it seems in the arst instance. One
to become. educated to It. as It
weFe. and considerable patience may
be necessary IL anything like q marked
degree Of success Is attained IN. grow
Ing this valuable legume.

The free use Of whitewash or kero-
GENE oil does wonders In getting rid
Of mites when used thoroughly over
every bit Of the interior Of the hens

storments, 10 q real blessing to the hens.
Puts money in your pocket besides.
The hen mite or red spider feeds upon
the Door hens at night while they are
on the roost and saps their life to such
al extent that the egg yield IL largely
reduced. and sometimes the hens are
killed BY mite attacks.

How 70 Use Various Household Hints.
When roasting meat In an open pan
wet a clean. white muslin cloth and
lay over the top Of the meat. This
will keep It from getting hard and
will not require basting 80 often.
A little salt or camphor put in lamps
helps to give q better light: It also

should be Kept in glass Jars; then
