plying needed plant food, according to
the requirements. Good drainage Is
essential in order that the roots may
go deep into the soil. Hardpan must
he broken up or avoided altogether.
Soils that are sour may be made sweet
by thorough drainage and the applica-
ton of lime. A good supply OF de-
composable organic matter in the soil
ehelps the bacterial action in making
plant food available, facilitates the
inoculating process and together with
good drainage prevents heaving In the
spring.
Alfalfa requires large quantities of
plant food and cannot be expected to
do we'll ON poor soils. Its deep root
ing habits may enable it to extract
more food from the soil than most
other crops, but to secure large yields
there must be an abundance Of food
within easy reach, and, if the soil is not
naturally well supplied, manure or
commercial fertilizer must be added.
After it is thoroughly established and
properly inoculated with its nitrogen
gathering bacteria alfalfa will supply
itself with nitrogen from the air, but
all potash, phosphoric acid and other
mineral food must come from the soil,
and as the crop is naturally a large
producer large quantities are required.
Every alfalfa field should be started
with a liberal dressing of stable
ure if possible. Experiments have
proved time and again that manure is
unusually valuable in starting alfalfa.
The farmer must also be sure that his
land is not lacking in lime. The plant
ing can be done at any time between
April and September.
Usually it will pay to use all avail
able manure on the grain crops and
buy the necessary amount Of phos-
phoric acid and potash for alfalfa. An
application of 300 pounds per acre Of
II or 16 per cent acid phosphate and
200 pounds Per acre muriate of potash
costs between six and seven dollars
and supplies as much phosphoric acid
and potash as ten tons of manure

third or fourth year after seeding gen
orally prolongs the life Of a field Of
alfalfa from two to four years.
To get the most out Of the alfalfa
r and, in fact, before it can make
it's best development the roots must be
inoculated with the proper nodule
forming, nitrogen gathering bacteria.
In the majority Of cases where alfalfa
Is sown for the first time it will need
to be inoculated by some artificial
means. The surest and most practical
way to do this is to broadcast and har-
row in before sowing the seed some
earth from a good alfalfa field where
the bacteria are known to exist. At
least two or three hundred pounds Of
soil per acre should be used.

Adding Humus to Soil.

Who has not noticed how loose and
mellow the soil is where an old fence
row has been plowed up and brought
into cultivation, says the Kansas
Farmer. The soil was once all like
this, but man has destroyed and re-
moved humus faster than nature un-
aided could replace it. On the old
fence row the crop grows rank and
green and stands out in marked con-
trast to the balance Of the field. The
soil is full of rotted, decaying vege-
table matter without which all farm
ing is a failure.
There must be q reserve Of humus
in the soil at all times to keep it in
good physical condition, but a large
reserve Of humus is not sufficient. Soil,
to be productive, must be full of ac-
lively d~ecomposing organic matter.
This decomposing vegetable material
renders mineral particles soluble, and
as it decays supplies nitrogen, so es-
sential to plant growth. This active
decomposition and loss Of organic mat
ter takes place rapidly when land is
we'll titled, much more rapidly than it
can be replaced without special effort.
The remedy is simply to follow ma
lures ~methods-no vegetable matter
of any kind should be burned-legumes
and other green manure crops must
be grown and plowed under each year
to keep up the supply of actively de-
composing organic matter. Do this
Systematically and the apparently
worn out soil will again become alive
and active. 1t will remain loose and
mellow instead of running together
and baking, and crops will again grow
green and rank as when the sod was
first broken. Why not take advantage
Of this wet year and make an extra
effort to grow some green manure
crops?

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFIELD

Alfalfa is a profitable crop both on
large and small farms. 1t is Of special
value where the acreage of pasture is
restricted.
AS this crop Is. cut three times or
more every summer the total yield per
acre will average upward Of five tons.
The market value therefore runs from
$50 to 500 an acre. It Is a much more
valuable crop than corn, wheat or oats
and requires less work.
Owners of small farms cannot give
up much land to pasture, but to a great
extent must feed their stock in sum-
mer, as we'll as in winter. Alfalfa
better than any other legume provides
midsummer feed, keeping up the flow
of milk or bringing cattle and hogs
along in flesh toward marketable con-
dition. After the last cutting Of the
season an alfalfa field may be pastur-
ed until winter sets in.
Deep, loamy soils with open sub
soils are undoubtedly best for al
falfa, but there is plenty of evidence
to show that it may be successfully
produced on almost any type Of soil,
from light sandy or gravelly loans and
peats or mucks to heavy clays, provided
that it is we'll drained, sweet and prop
erly supplied with organic matter and
available plant food.
Many soils that at present are not fit
for alfalfa culture may be made SO by
providing drainage facilities, correcting
acidity, adding organic matter or sup

FILLING THE S1LO.
The limo Differs and Depends Upon
Climatic Conditions.

The Time Differs and Depends Upon
Climatic Conditions.
Just when to fill the silo depends
upon climatic conditions, writes w. M.
Hardy in the Farm Progress. l gen.
orally put the binder in the field when
the grains are well dented and the
husks and lower blades begin to dry.
This is a very busy time, as the corn
Is cut and put directly into the slios.
The day before filling I start the har-
vester in order to have some corn cut
ahead and the field opened. The
sheaves are made medium size to small
so they will be easy to handle.
In hauling the corn from the field to
the silage cutter we use low wagons
with wide, fat racks with a standard
on the rear end Of the rack. When
loading the loader begins at the rear
end and piles up a tier Of bundles as
high as he wishes the load to be; then
in front Of this he places another tier,
and sc on until the front end of the
rack is reached, and then drives to the
silage cutter. The teamster loads and
unloads his own load. In unloading
he begins at the front end where he
placed the last sheaf and takes off the
last tier put on down to the rack, then
the next, and sc on, always taking the
tier clear down to the rack.
This method enables the teamster to
know which sheaf to take next and
avoids the hard and annoying labor of
pulling the bundles out when bound in
the load and always gives him a good
hard floor on which to stand and work.
Also there is less lost energy by this
method and the men make the best
time. The teamster hands the bundles
to q man who lays them on the "trav-
cling table" Of the silage cutter. The
bundles are laid on the table with the
butts on one bundle to the ears of the
previous bundle, and in this way a
steady stream is kept going in the 81
lage cutter.
The corn is cut about one-half inch
In length. The knives Of the cutter are
sharpened every half day. The cut
corn Is elevated into the silos by means
Of a blower. l like the blower much
better than the carrier, as less work
Is required in the silo, although it takes
more power to u it. To distribute
the corn and keep the silage level we
use a barrel with both heads removed.
This is suspended from the roof of the
silo at such a height that the silage is
blown into it from the blower. There
an attendant, sitting at the top of
the silo, by swinging the barrel can
direct the stream to any part of the
silo, thus keeping the silage level with
out the hard and ~disagreeable labor in
the silo. This barrel attachment works
well until the silo is about two-thirds
full, when it becomes necessary for the
attendant to do some work with the
fork in order to keep the silage level.
The best cover 1 i have ever found for
silage in the silo is very wet sawdust.
Keeping out the air is, of course, an ex-
tremely important matter. Shut the
air out Of the top in some way and re-
place the side door in the silo as fast as
q new one is opened.
