SOWING ALFALFA IN SPRING.

The question OF whether TO make
the start with the patch Of alfalfa in
spring or late summer is likely to de-
which are most likely To prevail inl-
mediately following seeding. Where
conditions seem 10 warrant the spring
sowing the seed should be sowed as
soon us the soil can be put in good
condition after the frost is out of the
ground. If the soil is not in il good
condition of fertility it should be well
manfred and then piowed to n medium
depth x should then be narrowed so
as to make Il fine and mellow seed bed
While it Is not absolutely necessary, it
aids in getting a stand OF alfalfa If the
field is inocWluted with soil from an
established alfalfa field or spot where
sweet clover has grown. Such soil
may be scattered thinly from Il manure
sprcadcr or mixed in couple of layers
with the manure. While the practice
Of sowing ii nurse crop is commonly
followed with red clover, it is best not

growing grain snnthers the young al.
falfa plants. Wli;i. have little or 10

ately following the harvest of the
grain The piece OF ground 10 be used
should he wei drained, should be
sWcctened with lime, il it is inclined to

seed should he drilled in to II depth of
about an inch and half and ut the
rite of from fifteen to twenty pounds
per acre. Where the August sowing is
preferred (and 1t is in many sections
the ground selected for it should be
sown with an early maturing small
grain crop. and as soon as this Is off
the ground the tract should be plowed
and disked ut frequent Intervals until
about the middle of August. If the
soil is not rich the manuring should be
given rs in the ease of the spring sow
ing, also the same incubation and
method Of seeding. Where fields of
alfalfa in their second year will yield
five tons of the finest hay per year in
even northern sections, the question OF
getting n start with the crop is one
that should interest good many more
farmers. 1t is usually best TO start
with few acres and get familiar with
It's culture.

BEEF SHORTAGE FIGURES.

The seriousness of the situation in
regard TO the shortage of beef is APP
preciated not only in the advancing
prices for cuts of meat on the local
market, but in figures which have been
compiled on the beef industry of the
country. The per capita consumption
of meat has dropped from 162 pounds
in 1909 to 152 pounds in 1913, or ten
pounds i'll four years. In the past six
years, from 1907 to 1913, the number
of beef cattle in the country has drop
ped from 51,aG5000 head to 3G,030O0n
head. Based on figures gathered in
plants where there is federal inspec
ton, there has been a falling off In
the number of animals killed of ], 4l9-
600 cattle, or TS0,Goo,0o0 pounds Of
beef, in the interval from 1910 to 1918.

tion mentioned in this article, the writer says:
 The Kent bill was introduced at the last session of congress and at the same time Congressman Harvey B. Ferguson of New Mexico introduced what was known as the 640-acre range homestead bill. which had the appro- val of the department of the interior and finally passed the house This bill provides that on such lands as the secretary of the interior may designate. as stock raising land. the stock rais- ing homestead of GAO acres may be made cn land of such character that GAO acres of it will reasona bly support a family. Cultivation is not required. but improvement of not less than &. .25 an acre must be made on the land one half within three years from date of entry. The bill provides for con siderable freedom in the selection of lands, and it is believed by it's advo- cates that in a considerable portion of the west, it would be avafIed of quite largely. It at best. sowever could be used only on q small percentage of the vast grazing area. There seems to be no reason, however. why the prin- ciples of the two bills may not be com bined, general classification of all the public domain. promptly made, and this long discussed and vexed question reasonably settled"
 A strong point brought out by the writer is that federal control of the ranges is not an experiment. as the success of forest range grazing. under government supervision has proven The real effect of the Kent biH there fore, would be to convert all public domain on which there is no mineral or agricultural claims, into vast CO., operatively controlled pastures, regu- lated exactly as the forest reserve ranges are regulated, and susceptible of just the same upbuilding that manyl forest ranges have undergone.
