where To Learn To Grow Alfalfa

Where To Learn To Grow Alfalfa.
Eastern farmers who want to start
growing alfalfa should visit the
farms of John P. Nelson and H. E..
Bullock in Monmouth County, New
Jersey, where the growing of the
queen of crops" is far beyond the
experimental stage and is managed
along lines that have for years been
producing heavy and profitable
crops. Mr.. Nelson started growing
alfalfa in 1896, and after finding out
by experience the need of sweet soil,
we'll fertilized, has been successful
each year in getting large yields
Mr.. Bullock has been growing alfal-
ia for 16 years, using practically the
same methods as his friend Mr.. Mel
son, which include liberal applica
tions of fertilizers to feed the crops
lime to sweeten the soil. incubation
and proper tile or surface drainage

New Cutting Agent.

In the recent evolution of new al
loys, it is interesting to note that steel
is surpassed as a cutting agent by a
metal containing no iron, though this
element has been since the bronze age
the basis Of practically all working
tools. The "stellite" Of Elwood Haynes
claims not only the durable hardness
at high temperature that gives it
greater results than "high-speed steep'
In lathe work, but it's resistance to
tarnish is an added property especial
ly fitting it for ordinary cutlery. Its
beautiful color and polish are said to
be quite unaffected by atmospheric
conditions or acid fruits. Of its devel-
opment, Mr.. Haynes says that when
molybdenum is added to an alloy of
cobalt with Is per cent of chromium,
the hardness gradually increases until
the molybdenum reaches 40 per cent,
when the product is exceedingly hard
and brittle, cutting deeply into glass
and easily scratching quartz. Taking
a fine polish, it is so hard as to escape
ordinary scratching. With 25 per cent
of molybdenum, the resulting metal Is
fine grained, scratches glass readily,
and takes a strong, keen edge. The
alloy is too hard FOR forging, but it
0n be cast without difficulty.

THE PATROL.

The patrol is perhaps the most re-
sponsible and important work upon
which an enlisted man may be en-
gagged. The patrol represents the eyes
of the unit-eyes like those Of crabs,
thrust out on long feelers, so to speak,
but which are still in contact with the
main force and can be withdrawn to
it. The use of a patrol is threefold :
It is a detachment sent out from a
command to gain information of the
country or of the enemy; to prevent
the enemy from gaining information ;
or to provide the necessary security
against surprise.
An erroneous impression prevails in
uniformed quarters that the use Of
the airplane on the great scale now
witnessed in Europe has dispensed
with old methods of foot patrol. This
is not the case. To be sure, there is no
patroling in trench warfare, in the for
mer sense, except, perhaps, in night
raids; but in all mobile operations, to
which the warfare on the western front
Is now reverting. the principle of the
patrol is Indispensable.
The reason that the airplane cannot
substitute for the foot patrol is that the
airplane is seldom able to distinguish
q command behind cover or in the shell
ter of q forest. This fact is so well
established that artillery positions
have been covered with bushes and
trees and the guns themselves are
painted a mottled green which deceives
the birdmen. There is an infinite
amount Of careful cropping out and de-
tailed observation left over for foot
patrols, after the airplane has passed
over. It is not necessary, in these
articles, to consider cavalry patrol.
AS for the matter Of surprise, even
units as small as a company, when on
the firing line, must be well protected
by patrols on each flank. Each leader
of flank platoon details a man to
watch for the signals Of the patrol or
patrols on his flank. Patrols or parties
posted to prevent hostile reconnais-
sance should relieve the main body of
the necessity of betraying it's position
by firing on small bodies of the enemy.
ITO be surprised by an enemy at
short range" says the drill regulations,
'fs an objectionable offense."
Therefore, reconnaissance is kept up
throughout an action and it is the i'm
portant duty of combat patrols to give
security to exposed flanks. Whether
OF not the patrol is able to stop hos
tile reconnaissance or even an attack,
1t must at all hazards convey warning
of the enemy's approach to the main
If caught by fire on the flank.
body. This is the more essential be-
cause, while the firinh line is obligated
to take care of it's owl front, its flanks
are particularly vulnerable to modern
firearms.
For example, machine gun, raking
a company or battalion from the flank,
might exterminate the entire command.
Even when the casualties are not i'm
