CARE FOR ALFALFA
DURING FALL SEASON
Growth of From Four to Six
Inches Necessary to Hold
Snow and Protect Plants.

(By A. C. ARMY, University Farm, st.
Paul, Minn.)
A growth of from four to six inches
Is necessary to hold the snow and to
protect the crowns of alfalfa plants.
A higher growth is not often neces.
sary. If alfalfa sown early in the
spring has become sixteen or twenty
inches high it may be cut for hay not
later than the first week of Septem-
Der. This will allow time for a new
growth before freezing weather. Fields
a year old or more may in ordinary
seasons be cut as late as September
Is.
New seedlings of alfalfa should not
be pastured. The ground in these
fields is not firm and considerable
damage is done by the trampling of the
plants, especially during wet weather.
Fields established year or more may
be pastured lightly in the fall, but
should never be eaten down close.
If the growth of alfalfa is not very
strong the field may be top-dressed
any time during the fall, preferably
Just after the third cutting has been
removed. New seedlings may be top
dressed at any time except during wet
weather when the ground is soft.

IMPORTANT PART OF HOUSE
Wise Builder Will Always Provide for
Porch That Is Comfortable In
All Weather.

A case before the city building COM
missioner for decision hinges on the
question whether a porch is part of q
house. 1t is a technical point the
official is to decide, involving an in
depreciation of the municipal building
code. Technicalities aside, however,
the question almost answers itself,
OF course, a porch is part of a house,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In
the modern house it is likely to be
about the most important part for six
or seven months of the year.
Some day monument may be erect
ed to the memory of the person who
first suggested the porch, if anyone is
able to fix his identity. More probably,
an investigator would find that the
porch is a result of evolution like a
modern locomotive or an automobile,
for which no individual could claim
credit. The "stoop" Of our grand
fathers, like the wheezy "injine" of
pioneer days, has been exalted to a
position Of high service and respect.
Part Of a house? Ask an architect
or a contractor. The modern man
who plans a comfortable residence
himself designs the kind of porch he
deems suitable to his comfort and
dignity and when that is done gives
secondary thought to the rest of the
house. The porch must be big enough
to entertain on, big enough to eat
on in seasonable weather; it must
be screened for protection against in
sect pests. If one wishes for comfort
de luxe he may give his porch a fire.
place and defy cool evenings to drive
him inside.
The sleeping porch, too, has edged
its way into our social consciousness
in these latter days. 1t also is a big
part of the house. Doctors prescribe
and children cry for it.
Statistics indicate a general lower
ing death rate among Americans rural
and urban. One wonders whether the
advent of the ubiquitous porch has
had an appreciable influence in bring
ing about this result, The gospel of
fresh air owes some acknowledgment
to this part of the house which lures
men, women and children out of stuffy
rooms and fills their lungs with fresh
air. The porch knows no social caste;
it is not a rich mans privilege alone.
The humblest home may possess it
and, in fact, usually does. More power
to it.

SELECT SEED CORN FROM STALK in FIELD

or long between joints, whether the
ear is located too high or too low, and
whether it is vigorous or spindling
and has a good leaf development.
In other words it is of paramount
importance that the ear have plenty
of feed, light and range upon which
to draw for its supply Of plant food.
When we find a stalk that, under av-
erage conditions, bears an ear of ex-
ceptional quality above the average
in the field, we snap it and carry it
to the corn house and hang it up to
dry SO thoroughly that the first hard
freeze will not injure its terminating
qualities.
Practical experience, as well as the
testimony of many of the best corn
growers, shows that an ear taken
from the stalk as soon as it is glazed
or even before, shows a great vigor
after planting, as do the ears that are
left on the stalk until the entire crop
is fit to husk.
Such experiments and testimony
seem to justify us in taking advantage
Of the early maturing ears and those
that are less mature, If they possess

GULL OUT POULTRY
FLOCK IN THE FALL
Successful Farmers Dispose Of
TWO-Year-OIdS and Poor
Layers Before Winter.

The more successful farmers Gull
their poultry flock in the fall. All
two-year-olds, lazy and poor layers,
are disposed of before winter to give
room for the layers. Hens that make
a late molt are sold, as they seldom
lay enough eggs through the winter
to pay for the feed they eat. To
place the fowls on the market the
day after culling is a mistake, as the
fowls are seldom in prime condition,
says a writer in American Agriculture
ist.
Although this applies more particu-
larly to range f1ocks, small pens also
need special care previous to mar
keting. An old hen is nice and
tender, if fattened properly. A hen
in poor condition weighing three or
four pounds can be made to double
her weight in two or three weeks If
given a fattening ration.
l have used both crates and pens
for fattening fowls. The method to
follow depends on the condition of
the fowls, whether they have been on
free range or yarded. If the latter,
l think the crates are best. But by
experience with range fowls, as they
are naturally used to so much exer-
else, find they fret a little in close
confinement. The crate use has
a Slated bottom. 1t is fastened
against a tree a few feet from the
ground and so insures plenty of shade.
The Slated bottom allows the drop
pings to fall through, keeping the
crate clean. Being above the ground,
it is not damp. A can for water is
fastened so as to be easily cleaned
but not easily upset by the hens.

freezing. Well-dried corn will stand
any freeze it is likely to get in Mis-
souri, but the danger from too rapid
tire-drying is only less than that from
freezing.
The corn is not safe for storage or
exposure to cold weather quite as soon
as the appearance of the kernels
might indicate because there is so
much more moisture in the cob and
the cob is so much slower in drying
than the kernels. Be sure not to store
while there is still moisture enough in
the cob to cause heat or molding.
Each ear should be so placed in wire
or slat racks, or so hung that no two
ears will hang together so as to hold
moisture and cause molding. The
storage place should be airy and well
ventilated. 1t should not be closed
until drying is completed, unless cold
weather necessitates closing. A little
fire may be used to hasten drying.

(By w. M. KELLY.)

Selecting seed corn from the stalk
in the field is the only way l know
of to have seed that possesses the
characteristics we desire represented
in the seed ear.
It is possible to select from the
wagon at husking time as large and
perfect ears as from the fields, but it
is clear that If we are to understand
the type and character of the leaf and
stalk, and early or later maturity, we
must study the ear and the stalk be-
fore the ear is removed from the
parent plant.
For a number of years l have prac-
ticed the various ways of selecting

Early seed selection from the field
is the ideal time for US to take advan-
tage of the great law of like producing
like, so far as it holds good. BY care
fully studying the whole plant it is
possible to select ears that embody
the most desirable features we wish
to breed in our corn.
It is not only important that we
have good ears of uniform size, form
and color and so on, but we want
a vigorous stalk for them to grow on.
