HOW TO GROW ALFALFA.
Information Issued by the New York
State College Of Agriculture,

Information Issued by the New York
State College Of Agriculture.
Alfalfa will grow on almost any type
Of productive soil If 1t is well drained
and If 1t is not acid. Lime must be ap-
pied to at least three-fourths of the
cultivated soils of New York If alfalfa
Is to be grown successfully. Such are
the statements made in a publication
entitled alfalfa In New York." re-
Gently issued by the New York State
College Of Agriculture.
In many cases soil must be inoculat-
ed with nitrogen gathering bacteria
for alfalfa, and this may be done In
either of two ways. according to the
college. Soil may be procured from an
alfalfa field or sweet clover patch
and applied at the rate of from 200 to
800 pounds an acre to the new field
just before sowing This soil should
not be allowed to dry before it is ap-
piled. The other method of inocula-
ton is by means of cultures. which
may be obtained at cost either from
the United States department of agri-
culture or from the State College of
Agriculture at Cornell.
Alfalfa should be cut when the new
growth from the base of the plant is
from one to three inches high, regard
less Of whether the plant is in bloom
or not, so the college authorities state.
This new growth starts as the plants
reach maturity.
Care should be taken not to use al
falfa seed infested with dodder bod
der seeds may be removed, it is said,
by screening the seed in small guam
titles through 20 by 20 mesh sieve
made Of No. "a wire. Dodder infested
spots in an alfalfa field should be
closely moved, the stubble sprinkled
with kerosene, then covered with dry
hay and burned.

HOG CAUGHT IN HAY
STACK LIVES q MONTHS
Weighed 800 Pounds When 1t
Was Imprisoned, and Less
Than 100 When Freed

Martin City, Kan.-How a
hog, buried in the center of a
straw stack, lived four months
without water and nothing but
the straw to eat is a puzzle to
James Keller, a farmer west
of Martin City, and he is try
ing to solve it.
Late in August Keller miss
ed one of his finest sows. She
weighed 800 pounds and only
a little while before had given
birth to litter of pigs.
Months later he saw straw
moving in a stack and was
surprised to see his lost SOW E.
merge. She was too weak to
stand and weighed less than
100 pounds, but will live.
Apparently she had been
covered by the straw stacker
at the time of the threshing in
August.

grass from developing seeds to the
J point where they will terminate,
crops in which it is growing should
| be cut not later than the last week in
June.
Young quack grass plants, attack
ed before they have formed under
ground stems, are as easily killed as
| plants Of wheat or other grains Of
| the same age.
Manure containing quack grass seed
| may be applied on plowed ground bel
fore preparing the soil for cultivat-
ed crop. The seed will grow the
same season, and the young plantsI
will be killed in the preparation OF
the seed bed and the cultivation of
the crop.
Digging by hand and removing from
the field all portions of the plant,
smothering with tar paper and spray
ing with a solution of sodium arse
rite are best for the complete eradi-
cation Of quack grass on small spots.
Ali methods Of eradication on large
fields are based on thorough tillage.
The implements found on any well
equipped farm are all that are needed
to eradicate quack grass.
The most effective bare fallow meth
Cd of eradication was blowing in July
three or four inches deep. replOwing
not later than Aug. 10 five or six inches
deep and again in November six or
seven inches deep. The disk was used
as needed between plowings to keep
the quack grass from showing green
above ground. The cost of the addi-
tional labor necessary for complete
eradication under this system was
$500 per acre. No crop was secured
from the land that season.
Complete eradication of quack grass
while following system of crop rota-
ton was found practical when more
than the ordinary amount of tillage
was given.
Tillage given now and then when
nothing else needs immediate attention
Is largely lost effort in the eradication
of quack grass. To be effective there
must be a well planned and carefully
carried out campaign with which other
work is not allowed to interfere. Till
age operations should iniure the quack
grass as much as possible and should
be repeated often enough to make eff
fective the work that has preceded.
Eradication of quack grass on land
that has been plOwed each year is more
difficult than on land that has been
undisturbed for a number of years.
In carrying out the different rotations
regular plan of Cleanup" to eradi-
cate the quack grass was followed on
each field with uniformly successful,
results. The plan was varied on threel
of the fields to secure additional data.
A four year rotation on four fields,
each one in turn having in successiveI
years grain, hay, corn, and corn, gives
exceptional opportunity for the eradi-
cation of quack grass. This rotation
can be followed to advantage, especial-i
ly on fields where quack grass is very
vigorous or when weather conditions
make the eradication unusually diff
cult

SOME BEE WISDOM.

ANY old thing" does not make a
suitable hive In which to keep bees.
Queens are mated but once in their
lives and then out in the open air.
Beating the dishpan or ringing the
dinner bell never settled a swarm; they
just naturally cluster after leaving the
hive.
Bees have no more to do with the
scattering of fruit diseases than do the
other hundreds of insects that visit the
flowers.
1t is not a sign of ability to make a
practice Of trying to handle bees with
out smoker or veil; it's just foolhardi-
ness.
1t does not pay to keep more colonies
than can be properly cared for. Bet
ter sell Off some than buy more and
not care for them.

A very simple wedding was

Miss Ora H. Wallace, of Mary

prise to their many friends. No
relatives were present except
the brides sister, Miss Georgia

his wife or to the young people in the
family. Most likely they will get some
good experience and quite a little profit
thereby.
All farmers and their families should
study up on canning methods so that
surplus fruit can be saved in the most
profitable way. This is equally i'm
portant with spraying and pruning.
Canned apples are in general demand.
Cider and cider vinegar are also read
| lily sold at good prices. 1t is wrong to
let good fruit go to waste when it is
| so greatly needed by the human fam
lily.
1t is possible to pick up windfalls
and make cider Of them or sell them
to the canning houses. 1t is still bet
ter to can them at home, but in many
instances they are allowed to go to
waste, although in all cities and vii
lagos and often in the open country
there are many worthy families, some
of them destitute, who would be
greatly encouraged and helped by
few bushels or barrels,
The cause of poor matches of pOul-
try is much discussed question. A
poor hatch is more apt to be due to
the condition of the eggs previous to
Matching than to incubation, although
improper handling of either factor
will produce the same results. When
eggs fail to hatch an investigation
should be made to see if the breeding
stock is kept under conditions which
tend to produce strong, fertile germs
In the eggs. A daily temperature rec
ord should be kept of each machine.
The operator can thus compare the
temperature at which the machines
have been kept. This may prove valu
able in future work, especially if the
brooder records can be checked back
against those of the incubator.
The climate of the central northern
states is well suited to the ounce, and
almost any OF the soils that are rich

apart to set the trees is about twenty |
