The roof has a graceful slope, which

kept fallowed until the last cf June
when the seed is sown. This enables
us to get a crop the first year either
for hog pasture or for hay.
Advantages of this method are:
1. We do not lose the use of the land
for one year.
2. There is less damage from injury
by grasshoppers than in the case OF
late summer seeding.
3. It fnsures a strong root system
and less chance of winter killing. The
only disadvantage of this method is
that, if the ground is foul the alfalfa
may be smothered by weeds.
Spring Seeding Without Nurse Crop.
In the West and North it has been
a common practice to SOW in the spring
without nurse crop, keeping the
weeds moved down during the sum-
ner to prevent smothering the alfalfa.
Ground that is MANFRED and fall
plowed is best for spring seeding. The
next best is corn stalk ground, either
manfred the year before or in the
winter or early spring, thoroughly
disked and narrowed and seeded about
the middle of April.
1t is important that the weeds be
moved two or three times during the
summer or they will choke out the al
falfa.
The disadvantages of spring sowing
are:
4 T.ho 1occ of ono seasons cron
where no nurse crop is used.
2. The extra labor required to keep
down the weeds.
8. The danger of neglecting the
weeds and the consequent loss of a
stand or securing only a "patchy
stand"
4. 1t is the most crowded time of the
year, and we either fail to put in the
alfalfa at all or slight the work.
There is no one thing that will do
more to insure success in getting

stand of alfalfa than lime and barn
yard manure.
Well Prepared Seed Bed Essential.
A well prepared, firm, solid seed bed,
plenty Of good barnyard manure and
summer fallow to kill the weeds, are
most important.
Alfalfa seed may be either drilled, or
sowed, broadcast and narrowed in, or
even disked in, especially if the sur
face of the ground is dry.
Sow ten to twelve pounds of seed
per acre. If evenly distributed this
will give fifty to sixty seeds for every
square foot, while one thrifty plant to
the square foot is sufficient.
Cut alfalfa before it is in full bloom
or as soon as the young sprouts or
shoots start to grow at the base of the
plant. Cut late in the afternoon or
evening.
When alfalfa is left too long the
leaves, which are the most valuable
part of the plant, fall off and the stems
become woody and the yield of the
next crop is greatly reduced.
Alfalfa can be placed in the barn or
in stacks much greener than any other
kind Of hay. Twenty pounds of salt
sprinkled over each load of hay will
help to prevent heating and also add to
the palatability of the hay.
Where alfalfa is used for pasture,
care should be taken to avoid pastur-
ing it too closely. Don't turn stock on
it too early in the spring.
Make a Beginning-Start Now.
I would advise every farmer to try
at least a small piece of alfalfa and if
he does not succeed at first, try again
and keep on trying until he does sue
coed. 1t is worth the while.

the handy rear porch.
The living room is large enough to
entertain several guests. It extends
across the entire width of the house
and is lighted through six windows. A
fancy balustrade with two square
posts is built along the side of the
staircase leading to the upper floor.
The staircase is directly in front of
the door opening from the front porch.
A brick fireplace is set into the wall
at the end of the room to the left of
this entrance. In the corner Of the
house next to the fireplace is handy
bookcase built beneath fancy glass
window. A larger window is situated
on the other side of the fireplace. The
dining room is entered through
cased opening 1anked with bookcases.
A three-window bay is built into the
wall of the dining room and a buffet is
set against the inside wall. The room
is a square, which is the best shape
for a dining room, since there is plenty.
of space on all sides Of the table
when it is placed in the center of the
room. The kitchen is in the rear of
the dining room and may be entered
through swinging door.
The ability of the architect is ably
illustrated in the arrangement of the
kitchen. Every convenience of a light
and airy kitchen, a carefully planned
pantry and breakfast porch are
here combined in one room. A table
in which the sink is set runs along
the side wall, with a window above it.
One cupboard is located conveniently
across the dividing wall between the
kitchen and the dining room, and an
other is built into the outside corner
above the space occupied by the re-
frigerator. Across the room is a little
breakfast-nOok table with seat built
on each side. This little table will
save many steps in serving breakfast
and will commend itself in many other
ways. There is ample room for a
stove against the inside wall
Another feature which will find IA

and toilet on the first floor. These
rooms are entered from hall leading
toward the rear Of the house, past the
STAIR from the living room. This hall
is also connected with side entry by
a flight of four steps. The basement
is reached from this entry.
There are two large bedrooms and
a sleeping porch, which is really an
other bedroom having practically one
entire side built of windows, on the
second floor. A hall connects them
all and also leads to the bathroom.
The front dormer bedroom is an espe-

Good Method for SMALL Patch.
For small patch of two or three
acres perhaps the second most salts
factory method is to manure piece
of ground near the barn where it can
be most conveniently used for hog pas
ture. The ground should be plowed,
fitted and SOWed to rape, early in the
spring. This should be used for hog
pasture during May and June. During
the first week of July the rape stubble
should be moved down and the ground
thoroughly disked, then plowed and
again disked and narrowed.
Any time during the last week of
July or the first week of August, the
ground should be thoroughly disked
and worked down so that it is firm and
solid. If there should come rain dur
ing the latter part of July or the first
of August, it is good plan to prepare
the ground and SOW the seed at once
while there is sufficient moisture in
the ground to sprout the seed and give
the young alfalfa a good start.
Alfalfa After Barley or Early Oats.
A third method. and one with some
advantages over the others, where the
season is not too dry, is to grow crop
of winter wheat, barley, early oats, or
early potatoes, and follow that crop
with alfalfa.
AS soon as the grain is ripe it should
be cut and removed from the field. APP
ply ten or fifteen loads of manure to
the acre. Disk the ground to mix the
manure and stubble with the soil, and
pillow and again disk and harrow and
work down to give firm, solid seed

| bed. About the first week in August
seed the alfalfa as described above.
Spring Seeding With Nurse Crop.
A fourth method is to seed in the
spring with light nurse crop Of early
oats or barley. In case oats are used,
it is best to SOW not more than bushel
to the acre, cutting them when in
bloom for hay. The advantages of
this method and also of the second and
third methods mentioned above are
that we secure crop and do not lose
the use of the ground for one year.
Some of our best alfalfa growers have
used the beardless barley as nurse
crop with good results in spring seed
ing.
Good Results From June Seeding.
Some of the best stands of alfalfa
have been secured by seeding in the
middle or last of June. For June seed
ing, the ground is MANFRED and plowed

GET A START WITH ALFALFA

There are few farmers whose profits
would not be increased greatly by rails
Ing alfalfa.
There is no combination Of feed so
economical for production Of beef,
pork, milk, butter and eggs, and for
growing animals, as corn and alfalfa.
We need alfalfa, because it balances
the corn ration and saves large waste
of starch which always takes place
where corn is fed alone. We need al
falfa because we can, in this way,
grow on our farms the protein more
proftably than we can buy it in manu-
featured feedstuffs. We need alfalfa
because it enriches the soil and en-
Rbles us to grow larger crops Of corn,
eats and other grain; because it pro-
duces on an average double the feed
value per acre that red clover or any
other forage crop will produce. AL
falfa is no harder to grow than any of
the other forage crops. 1t adapts itself
readily to all kinds of conditions of soil
sometimes four crops year in the
corn belt; in the cotton belt states,
sometimes seven and eight crops.
When a good stand is once assured it
lasts four or five years in humid re-
gions, and much longer in states west
Of the Mississippi river. Alfalfa can
be fed to all kinds of farm animals and
has no superior as hog pasture. It
adds humus to the soil and resists
drought better than any other crop.
No piece of ground on the farm will

bring greater profits than five or
ten acres put into alfalfa, provided the
work is done properly and good
stand is secured.
Alfalfa Poor Weed Fighter.
Alfalfa, when small, grows slowly
and is not good weed fghter-that is,
it cannot compete with weeds, and es-
pecially with crab grass and foxtail
during the dry weather of July and Au-
gust.
The following methods of seeding al
falfa are among those that have been
most successful in the United States:
Late Summer Seeding.
Probably no method will mere GER
tainly assure a good stand than to ma
nure a piece of stubble ground and
fall pillow it, or manure the ground in
winter Or spring, disk it thoroughly as
soon as possible in the spring (1rst
part Of ApriD, plow the latter part of
April, and again disk. 1t should be
summer fallowed, that is, disked or
narrowed, often enough during May,
June, and the first part Of July, to kill
the weeds and to prevent the ground
from becoming hard. Sometime during
the last part of July or the early part
of August the ground should be disked
and narrowed and the seed sown at
once with a drill, or broadcast and har-
rowed in.
Dat or wheat stubble ground ma
nured and fall plowed is especially
good for alfalfa. Disk the ground the
following spring as soon as dry enough
to work, summer fallow and seed as
described above.
= This method has the advantage of
!. Clearing the ground of weeds, the
greatest enemy of alfalfa.

when the work can be done without
neglecting other crops.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD.

Mr.. William A Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. RadfOrd, No. 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, I'LL, and only enclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
There are few people who do not de-
sire an air of cozfness in their home
that suggestion of snugness which
seems a part of the little bungalow
and extends an invitation to all who
pass by to come into the little home
where comforts are provided in every
nook and corner. This quality seems
to be always associated with a small
home, and those who must have a
larger house are often led to discard
their desire in this direction and cen
ter their attention on arrangement of
rooms only.
Perhaps the arrangement of rooms
is of initial Importance in planning a
house, since the family will naturally
derive the greatest benefits from Nv
ing in it rather than standing on the
outside where they can enjoy the out
ward appearance of it, but there is
more than one reason why the home
builder should expect the architect to
extend the nicely of his design to ex-
terror details and why he should him
