Cultivation of Alfalfa
HELPS to Control Weeds

Cultivation Of alfalfa may be bene-
fetal under two condltions-when
barnyard manure has been applied to
the soil as a top dressing, and when
Il Is necessary to control weeds, ac-
cordlng to Prof. S. C. Salmon Of the
department OF agronorny at the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
efficient cultivation works the
manure into the soil where II more
readily decays and hence becomes
more useful to the plants" said Pro
fessor Salmon. There is good rea-
son to believe that cultivation after
applying manure may be beneficial
for that reason. There is no expert
mental evidence. however, to verify
or disprove this opinion.
Bluegrass, crabgrass and foxtail
which greatly damage old alfalfa
fields can be practically eradicated
through cultivation. when alfalfa
fields are te be left for seed II may
be especially desirable to remove all
weeds by cultivation.
zone Of the best implements for
cultivation is the spring-tooth harrow.
II the ground is very hard a disk har-
row may be used. A good time to
cultivate is early in the spring be-
fore growth starts. Cultivation i'm
medIately after removing the first
crop is perhaps more effective In kill
ing bluegrass whereas cultivation af-
ter the second or third crop is cut
may be most effective in killing crab
grass"

Alfalfa Proven Success
as Protein for Cows

Alfalfa is no longer an experiment;
it is a proven success. With alfalfa
the dairyman has good financial posi-
billties, but without 1t the future
holds. but little hope. Few as yet
really appreciate alfalfa or they would
be growing a larger acreage OF It. Al
falfa yields twice the tonnage Of other
hays and several times the amount Of
protein. Rightly handled 1t does not
need to be seeded nearly as often. In
total feeding value II is surpassed
only in yield by corn silage and the
two should go hand In hand as one
balances the other. They are by far
our most profitable crops. although
sweet clover pasture and corn for
husking are likewise profitable
Alfalfa will do well on any good
corn soil that is well drained and sup
piled with lime. Land MANFRED for
corn the previous year is preferable.
Fall blowing lnsures flrmer seed
bed and is to be preferred for seeding
down. Rolling of spring blowing is
next best In any case It will pay to
ct the soil well.
If the soil lacks lime, and a test
will show whether 1t does or not, the
lime can be applied any time after
blowing in the fall. winter or spring.
Later 1t should be disked In

Easiest and Humane Way.
to Dehorn Young Calves

The easiest and most humane way
to dehorn calves is by the use Of stick
caustic potash when they are but a
few days old.
When the calf Is four to seven DAYS
old the hair over and around the knobs
that later produce horns is clipped
close. The moistened end Of a stick
OF caustic potash Is then rubbed over
tile horn until a spot about the size Of
a dime becomes raw.
Grease may be applied to the outer
edge of the spot to prevent spread Of
the caustic and making the sore larger
than necessary.
The calf should be kept in the dry
for a few hours after the treatment.
Following the successful application
of the caustie a scab will form over
the knob and drop of in a fewsdays.
Stick caustie potash can be procured
at a drug store for a few cents and
may be kept for some time In a tightly
stoppered bottle. While handling the
caustic 1t should be wrapped in paper
to prevent Injury to the hands.

Cowpea Valuable as Hay
for Different Animals

The cowpea Is valuable for hay, be-
Ing nearly equal to wheat bran in nu-
triton, according to the Department
Of Agriculture. The seed Is rich feed
but is little used because Of its scare
ity and high price. It also makes an
excellent dish for human consumption
and Is considerably used In the South.
The seed is long lived and can be
stored for long periods without loss of
terminating quality but is attacked By
weevils. SO seed houses are forced to
treat 1t with carbon blsulphid before
storing, to kin on these pests and to
give later treatment to keep them in
check. While there are number OF
varieties only few are recognized as
Of first Importance and the seed trade

best way to get plums to bear is to

is to provide -pollination by
