PASTURlNG ALFALFA.
1t Is an Acute Problem on irrigated
Farms In Certain Sections.

1t Is an Acute Problem on irrigated
Farms In Certain Sections.
1t is one thing to secure good stand
of alfalfa on an irrigated farm, but 1t
is quite another problem to maintain
good stand of this legume when it is
being continually pastured down. In
numerous sections of the southwest.
where the season is long and animals
are kept on the field practically the.
entire year. the problem becomes acute.
says the Country Gentleman.
Continuous close cropping damages
the plants by root starvation, while
tramping of the soil by the live stock,
especially when the soil is wet from
irrigation or rains, does further dam
age. The result is a rapid thinning
of tue stand. This allows Bermuda
grass and noxious weeds to gain
foothold on the fields the productivity
of which rapidly decreases.
80 obviate these difficulties n sys-
TEN of rotation pasturinS Is being
adopted ON Arizona farms reports X.
w. Clothier of the federal Office of
farm management. In this system
the alfalfa is allowed to grow until
sufficiently mature to make hay, and
then the animals are turned into the
field in sufficient numbers to harvest
the crop quickly.
II have made Il careful study of sew
eral farms where this system appar-
emily has worked out to perfection.
One of these farms located near Phoe-
nix, Ariz, was a dairy and stock farm
of 100 acres, all in alfalfa. The alfalfa
was divided into eight fields of twenty
acres each All these fields were pas
tured more or less at different times.
in pasturing, the dairy cows were
turned into the field FIRST. When they
had eaten the best of the feed they were
put into a new field and other stock
was turned into the first field to clean
up the feed left by the COWS When
the field was well cleaned up this sec.
ond lot of stock was taken off, the field
watered and not pastnred again until
another crop had matured.
when field was cut for hay the
crop was put up with hay loader and
the stock turned in to Clean up the
waste hay The field was then treated
In the same manner as the fields that
had been pastured.
by this system this particular farm
er keeps 16S animal units, forty-eight
of which are dairy cows, on his farm
for twelve months, and has 3G0 tons
of surplus feed on the farm. With
the help Of two grown sons he does all
the work. BY this system the stand
of alfalfa has been maintained in first
class condition for ten years"

a Story of Mark Twain.

When Mark Twain was beginning
his career as q humorous lecturer he
one day arranged with woman ac-
quaintance that she should sit in box
and start the applause when he should
stroke his mustache. The lecturer
started off so well that he did not need
any such help, however, for he caught
the audience from the first. BY and
by, when not saying anything worthy
of particular notice, he happened to
pull his mustache, and his anxious ally
in the box at once broke into furious
applause. Mark was all but broken
up by the misadventure and ever after
ward carefully avoided employing such
help to success.

Save immature Corn.

The lateness or planting. the slow
growing season and heavy rains all
point toward a large percentage of i'm
mature corn this fall. What are you
going to do with your soft corn? Are
YOU prepared to "can it?"
The live stock farmer can profitably
utilize this soft corn by putting it in 4
silo. The silo is an investment which
pays high interest on the live sock
farm. The man who has no silo will
have to do the best he can.-M. A. II.

Children and NIGHT Life.

Night life initiates against children's
health and growth to greater extent
than has been realized.
Overstimulation in place of rest and
sleep, which growing children need
tends to undermine even the strongest
constitutions. 1t needs no psychologist
to perceive that the ravages of night
life help materially TO reduce measure
ments of weight, height and chest and
to weaken heart. lungs and eyes. '
Moreover. their education suffers. Chill
dren who are out until midnight must
report at school the next morning al
though tired and mentally dun. Night
life destroys the habits of industry.
Lettering and loafing becomes rooted
into habit-From Strickland"

Spring Versus Fall PIowina.

The average results for five years,
1909 TO 1913 inclusive show that spring
blowing was better than fall blowing
for moisture conservation in yield OF
grain and cost Of producing the crop.
Spring blowing gave an average yield
of 1S.5 bushels per acre as compared
with 1GS bushels for fall blowing. Ow-
fng to this difference in yield and the
lower cost of producing the crop spring
Flowing gave a net acre profit of $500
more than fall plowlng.-U Report.

How Nspoleon Dressed.

Napoleon was always simple In his dress and generally wore the uniform of his own guard. He was cleanly rather from habit than from liking for cleanliness. He bathed often some times in the middle of the night-be- cause he thought the practice good for his health. But. apart from this, the precipitation with which he did every thing did not admit of his clothes being put on carefully. and on gala days and full dress occasions his serv- nuts were obliged to consult togeth- CT as to when they might snatch a mo ment to dress him.
 He could not endure the wearing of ornaments. The slightest constraint was insupportable to him. He would tear of or break anything that gave him the least anuoyance.-Memoirs of Mme de Remusat
