ALFALFA is GROWN
IN MANY VARIETIES

Several groups or types of alfalfa
have been recognized by authorities
on the subject. They arc mostly due
to the plant having been grown for
years in certain localities having
widely different climatic conditions.
Tn" Arabian and Peruvian types are
good producers of forage, but not
hardy except in the far south. The
Turkcstan is a good drouth and cold
register, but does not produce heavy
crops under these conditions. The

THE CHESSMEN

Mems minds are like the pieces on
n chessboard in their way of moving.
One mind creeps from the square it is
on to the next. straight forward. like
the pawns. Another sticks close to
its own line Of thought and follows
it as far as it goes with no heed for
others opinions. as the bishop sweeps
the board in the line of it's own color.
And another class of minds break
through everything that lies before
them, ride over argument and oppo-
sition. and go to the end of the board,
like the castle. But there is still an
other sort of intellect which is very
apt to jump over the thought that
stands next and come down in the
unexpected way of the knight. But
that same knight will contrivc to get
onto every square of the board in a
series of moves that looks like a
pattern of embroidery. and SO these
zigzagging minds will sooner or later
get back to the square next the one
they started from.-Oliver Wenucll

Wheat and Oats for Hay,

Question:: In cutting wheat or oats
for hay is it better to cut close to the
ground with the mower and rake as
a hay crop or to cut with a binder?
d. II. f., Iona.
Answer: How to cut depends some
what on the crop and the natue Of the
ground. If the crop is quite green and
the soil firm Ga clay SOLD and clean
we would peter the mower with the
guards we'll turned up. If the crop is
light and the soil light and dirty the

Forage Crops.

Question: outside of timothy and
alfalfa what would you advise to SOW
for a hay crop?
f. r w, Whitehall.
Answer: The crop to SOW for hay
will largely depend on the nature of
the land and whether it is irrigated or
dry. For instance if the land should
be very wet, too wet for alfalfa, alsike
clover will make good. while on the
other hand if it is dry too dry for tim
othy, either alfalfa or sweet clover will
give good yields. lied clover does

on very dry lands the grains are cut
