Grower Should Know Variety.
Before buying alfalfa seed the pur-
chaser should inform himself fully re-
garding the variety best suited for his
section and the quality of the seed
with regard to both termination and
purity. In choosing a variety or
strain it IS well to bear in mind that
the quick-growing alfalfas, because of
their tendency to produce heavier
yields. should be used as far north
as they win curyive TIE winters. In
the northern sections the variegated
alfalfas. including the Grimm, the
Baltic, and the Canadian varieties, have
proved most successful in withstand
ing winter killing. In sections having
very mild winters, Peruvian alfalfa
has proved more profitable than long
er strains, owing TO its ability TO pro-
duce considerably heavier yields. Usu-
ally it can be grown to advantage only
in sections where minimum tempera-
ture is not lower than 10 degrees Fab
renheit, and where ordinary alfalfa
will succeed. Throughout Maryland
and Virginia all the common strains
of alfalfa which have been developed
in Kansas, Oklahoma. Texas and I'M
der similar conditions, give the most
satisfactory results.

TEST SEED BEFORE PLANTING
Otherwise Full Crop Cannot Be Grown
Even Under the Most Favorable
Weather Conditions.

Practically the only element in crop
production that the farmer has COM
pletely under his own control is the
planting of good seed.
1t is important that farm seeds be
tested before they are sown. Other
wise, full crop cannot be grown even
under the most favorable conditions.
Seed testing for practical results,
says the United States department Of
agriculture, can be done much more
easily than is generally believed.
The essential preparation for max
ing seed tests consists of providing the
simple apparatus necessary and of be-
coming familiar with the general pur-
poses and methods of testing and the
features of importance peculiar to
tests of particular kinds of seeds. Ask
the county agent, or write the depart
ment of agriculture for a bulletin.

Certainly, at Price Druggist Wanted

Long Way.

Recently, one cold morning, several
women were waiting in north side
drug store until the street car came.
A coIored woman entered and asked
the druggist for a certain kind of oil.
He went to the rear of the store
where he kept the stock, and coming
back, said: 1T is 1925 an ounce.
How much do you want?"
The colored woman was plainly dis
concerted at the high price. After
a seconds hesitation her face bright
ened, as she said earnestly: Maybe
drop would be enough"
Just as seriously the druggist re-
piled, Lady, we don't sell it by the
drop"

struck the women spectators and they
began to laugh. One of them re-
marked, We'll, at that price I think

tralization of the soil by lime where
acid exists, use of high quality alfalfa
seed of suitable varieties, proper in
oculation OF the soil where inocula-
ton is necessary; all of which pre-
supposes the seeding of the alfalfa
early enough in the fall TO make the
growth adequate to resist winter kill
ing. and the development of sue
cessful stand which will cope with the
difficulties of unfavorable seasons.

This article relates particularly TO
Maryland, Virginia and localities of
similar latitude, although what APP
plies to the territory named is also
applicable in more or less degree to
many other sections Of the country.
Because of its high forage value it
pays to devote much care, labor and
scrutiniZing attention to the produc-
ton of a profitable stand of alfalfa.
1t is essential that well-teXtured,
filthy, and thoroughly settled and CON-
pact bed be ready for the seed which
should be sown not later than the mid
die of September and preferably dur
ing the latter part of August or the
first week in September.
Manure Good for Alfalfa.

but thoroughly rotted and weed-free
stable manure should be applied TO the
field which is to be broken and seeded

POULTRY REQUIRE DUST BOX
AS Chickens Never Cleanse Them
selves by Washing, as Many Birds
Do, WaIIoW Is Needed.

Chickens never wash, as many birds
do, but cleanse themselves of insects
by wallowing in dust. Where board
or cement floors are used in the
chicken house, some means of busting
should be provided. A dust box three
feet by five feet, or four feet by four
feet will be found large enough III most
Instances, the United States de-
partment of agriculture suggests. for
a flock of 80 or 60 fowls. It should be
placed where it can be reached by
sunlight during as much OF the day as
possible.
Fine, light, dry dust is best for the
box. but sandy loan is good. Road
dust is recommended by many, but it
is often hard to secure. Coal ashes
may be mixed with the soil if desired
to make it lighter.

GOOD SERVICE BY CHICKENS
White Grubs and other Insects Freshly
Turned Up by Plow Are De-
voured by Fowls.

Poultry can do good service in eat
ing the white grubs and other insects
freshly turned up by the pillow. They
do no service in picking up the angle
worms, for angle worms accomplish
friendly work for mankind. 1t is
doubtful if man could survive upon
the earth if angle worms had not pre-
pared the soil for mans occupancy.
Every acre of farm land has been d.
gested by angle worms over and over
again and in this way made the soil
fertile.

One of the great obstacles to road
and railway development in Korea n
ante-Japanese days was the fact that
many graves blocked the way, il be-
ing the greatest outrage among the
Koreans to disturb a grave of either
a father or a remote ancestor. The
general belief was that no matter how
innocent the descendants might be of
disturbing the graves, diVasters and
punishments were sure to come to
them in consequence of such violation.
The Japanese. however. built the
roads quite regardless of graves, and
i'm accordance only with principles of
engineering. Moreover, they robbed
the graves of treasures buried with
the dead, exhibiting them later with
archaeological enthusiasm not H6er-
