HOW TO RAISE ALFALFA
Bonfire Of HohenzoIIern propaoan

weeds spring sowing can be practiced
with success. A nurse crop should be
sown with spring sown alfalfa, but
never with the crop sown in the sum-

fourths to a bushel per acre makes an
excellent nurse crop.
Summer sowing is practiced where
farmer wants to be almost certain
that he gets stand of alfalfa. In all
cases at home we secured better re-
suits from summer sowing than by
any other method. In summer sowing
after the ground is plowed it should
be narrowed every ten ten days or
two weeks apart. These frequent har-
rowings kill the new weeds that have
sprouted and bring up new seed from
below the surface. If the soil il work

will be killed and the soil will contain
plenty of moisture even though sown

incubation Is no longer thought to
be necessary, but in most cases it has

County Agent J. c. Kline's thirteen
years of experience and experiment in
the growing of alfalfa are reflected in
the following article which should in
terest all alfalfa growers in the county
or any who are thinking of growing
1t.
The alfalfa plant is no longer con-
sidered a new crop. 1t has been grown
in Wayne county for number of
years, but the average farmer Is not
growing as much alfalfa as should be
raised on these livestock farms. Its
value as a hay crop cannot be over
estimated. Experiments have shown
that the leaves of the hay were equal
in feeding value to wheat bran when
fed to dairy and beef cattle. All clas-
SEES of stock on the farm greatly rel
ish alfalfa hay. Even the chickens
and hogs, that usually do rot eat hay,
seem fond of this hay. Breeding
sheep can be wintered on alfalfa hay
without grain.
The writer is anxious to see more
alfalfa growing in this county, and
since he has had 13 years experience
in growing this crop the best methods
OF growing are given below.
soils suited Tor Aifdtfd.
Many men think that their soil is
not the proper type for growing this
crop. It doesn't seem to make much
difference what type of soil alfalfa is
grown on. provided it well drained,
contains plenty of organic matter and
is not sour.
Experiments have shown that alfal-
IA thrives as well on sandy soil as on
the heavier types, but don't expect to
get a stand of alfalfa on soil that is
too poor to grow other crops. Plant
food is just as essential for alfalfa as
it is for the other crops. If sufficient
plant food is lacking liberal applica-
cation of barn yard manure applied
the year previous to sowing not only
improves the fertility of the soil, but
the physical condition as well.
Sour Soils and Lining.
Alfalfa will not thrive on sour soils
The main reason for this is that the
bacteria which grow on the roots Of
the plant are not able to live in a con
dition where acidity exists. Withou1
their existence the plant is unable tc

sequently does not grow properly

Everybody is subject to colds and
coughs at this season. Be prepared!
Have on hand full pint of Mentho-
Laxene syrup that checks and aborts
colds, relieves coughing and gradually
brings permanent relief The full and
best benefits are derived if you begin
taking it at the very outset of cold
or cough because you can check or
abort the cold-and save many hours
of distress and perhaps ward off pneu-
monia and other serious results of a
neglected cold.
Mentho-LaXene is pure, contains no
opiates or narcotics. It is pleasant,
penetrating, healing and curative be-
yond any preparation you can buy
ready made. Full directions and guar
antee are with every bottle of Mentho-
Laxene. 1t will more than please you,
or the Blackburn Products Co., Dayton,
Ohio, will refund your money.
Hundreds of thousands of bottles of
Mentho-Laxene have been sold and not
over fifty people have wanted their
money back. That tells how good
it is.-Adv.
