OF peas and oats, oats or clover, for
hay, in the latter part OF June or early
in July, the land is plowsd at once. IL
is then disked once every week or ten
days up to the last week in July, when
the alfalfa seed is sewn without a
nurse crop. Again, early potatoes may
be dug late in July and the land thor
oughly disked in preparation for seed
ing to alfalfa. BY either of these
methods crop is secured and a good
stand of alfalfa obtained unless the
season be an abnormal'y dry one.
An early grain crop such as barley,
rye, or early oats may also be removed
and the land handled as outlined
above. If alfalfa is sown following
grain, it is important to pillow very shall
low. or to disk the land twice thor
oughly, as soon as the grain crop is
removed, so as to start the grain that
has been left in the ground to grow
ing.
Time should be taken to terminate
and destroy the volunteer grain before
sowing the alfalfa, so that the grain
may not crowd the young alfalfa plants.
This method, however, has not given
such success as seeding after summer
fallow or after an early hay crop has
been removed.

(By A. c. Army. Minnesota Experiment
Station)
With moisture and seed-bed condi-
tions favorable, alfalfa may be sown
to advantage in July without a nurse
crop. Summer seeding may be done
on summer-fallowed ground.
For summer seeding the usual pro-
cedure is to disk the ground early in
spring and then to use the disk and
harrow often enough to keep the land
mellow and free from weeds until July.
If the weeds cannot be kept down with
the harrow and disk, the land may be
plowed and the disking and narrowing
continued. Sowing the alfalfa seed
without an accompanying grain crop in
July, has given better results than SOW
ing in the same way in June or earlier.
This method has the disadvantage
of requiring considerable work with no
crop returns from the land for one sea-
son. However good stand of alfalfa
is usually assured unless heavy rains,
followed by hot sun and wind, come

CLOVER MAKES FINE
PASTURE FOR SWINE
System Outlined Which Has
Worked Well With Many Hog
Growers in Minnesota.

Plenty Of tender, nourishing hog pas
ture of good quality may be had dur
ing the entire season If clover is
grown, say men at the Minnesota col
lege OF agriculture. AS soon as the
pigs are strong enough, the brood
sows with their litters may be turned
into a clover field If one-third to half
Of the clover is mown about June 10,
the hogs will eat the young shoots
that spring up and will not bother the
uncut part OF the field.
The rest of the field may be cut at
the regular haying time. By having
the pasture well stocked with pigs
and calves one need not worry about
taking care of the pasture for the rest
Of the summer. BY fall the pigs ought
to weigh from so to 80 pounds each.
This system has worked well with
many hog raisers in Minnesota. In a
good season, one acre Of pasture will
provide feed for three brood sows and
their pigs. Plenty of cot room and
trough room with proper feeding facil-
tiles ought to be provided in each pas
ture. The cots should be from 20 to
40 rods from the feeding place, so
that the pigs will get out into the pas.

A farmer of Monarch, Alberta,
claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell carload OF
hogs at the high price Of eleven cents
a pound, live weight. The sale was
made a short time ago at Calgary, and
at that time was record. although
prices have since gone as high as
$1112h per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
his farm produces, as there is prac-
tically no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh. The
uncertainty of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor
able conditions is removed when the
settler goes in for raising hogs, beef
and dairy products. With Western
Canada's cheap lands, heavy crops, and
climate free from diseases of stock,
the stock farmer is as sure of success
as anyone can be.-Advertisement.

USING SWEET CLOVER
AS A SOIL BUILDER
1t viii Produce Crop on Land So
Poor That Red Clover and
Alfalfa Won't Grow.

Investigations by the Iowa Agricul-
tural college among the farmers CT
that state show that the common sweet
clover is more than equal to the other
clovers, or alfalfa, as soil builder. 1t
will produce a crop on land so poor
that red clover and alfalfa will not
grow. 1t is sometimes claimed that it
will grow on land totally devoid of or
ganic matter. This seems somewhat
doubtful, but there is no question as to
its being one of the rankest growers
known on poor land.

DA|RY|NG IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today Is in highly
| flourishing condition and is bound IN
very short time to become mucn
more important. The war has created
a great demand for that article, and
| it's use abroad has given it lot or
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
Who, having used it. is quick to APP
preciate its value. This means that
after the war there will be demand
created for it that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth 1t Is hoped
that this will be met. AS matter or
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect OF an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
eddy be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential, and in time it is bound to
become one of the finest cheese coun-
tries of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
nn1.
for no purpose, will in time produce
cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping OF milk and cream and
cheese, and that is a great thing for
the industry, especially when COM
bined with possibilities of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming. is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof
table.
One of the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler is the likelihood of suitable
markets. In this connection the fol-
lowing table will be illuminating. 1t
is supplied by the P. Burns company,
packers and exporters, of Calgary, and
shows the average monthly price paid
for hogs for the six years 1910 to 1915
inclusive. When one considers the low
initial cost Of the land and the small
overhead cost of maintenance and
feed, these prices challenge COMPARE

TOO GOOD TO THROW AWAY
"Drippings" From Fried Lamb or Nut.

full of boiling water be poured into the
pan after the meat has been removed,
and let this boil up well, stirring with
a spoon, until all traces of the meat
essence have been dissolved away
from the pan. Strain this liquid into
an earthen or agate bowl, dash a
little cold water into it, and set aside
in a cool place. In few hours the
fat will have formed a solid cake,
