Don't forget that you resolved,and long

The price of seed is lower than it has been.
for a-long time. Live stock feeding has
grown to Immense proportions in Neb
raska, but the 1894 corn crop failure gave
it a severe check. Now the surest and
best way to regain this lost prestige is to
seed down many acres of alfalfa, as it is
the greatest live stock forage that grows,
and can be fed to advantage with or with
out corn. Therefore we say plant more
alfalfa, as it will prove more valuable to
farmers than a corn crop, as it can be
relied upon every year, and corn cannot.
It fattens cattle, horses and hogs without
any other feed, and keeps them healthy.
Hogs raised on alfalfa are very free from
attack bv cholera or other disease.
B. A. Roberts, of Boone county, thus
voices his experience, in the same paper,
upon the above topic: "Mr. H.F.Stubbs
of York county, wants to know if it will
do to sow on winter wheat, and another
party wants to know if it will do to sow
on rye. To these we will say without a
chance you will lose your seed. The first
reason is you will not get. your seed cov
ered deeply enough. There is more grass
seed lost by shallow covering than in any
other way. Don't be afraid to got dirt
over tho seed from one and one-half to
three inches. Plow your ground deeply
using a common stirring plow, running
it from eight to ten inches; then follow
with a subsoil plow m tho same furrow,
running it from six to eight inches. I
would sow in the evening what I had
plowed through the day, that is while the
ground is fresh and moist. If a drill is to
be used (which wo would prefer), drag
the ground in the evening that you plow
through the day. This will level the
ground and prevent it from drying out.
After the ground is prepared put on the
drill and sow from ten to twelve pounds
per acre. After it has been gone over,
cross the tbo field with tho same amount
of seed per acre. By crossing you will be
sure to seed all the ground. We think
it best to use the drill east and west the
last sowing; then the wind will not be so
likely to blow the dirt from the seed. In
either case never roll nor plank the
ground after sowing, as the soil is much
easier moved by the wind. If you sow
broadcast, leave the ground fis smooth as
can be left by harrow. Butfew farmers
yet know tho value of an alfalfa field.
The spring of 1893 we sowed a small field
on May 18th, nnd the following fall I dug
a plant that the root measured twenty
one inches. I shall sow sixty acres this
spring and expect to sow it in April. It
is only a matter of a few years when
every farm in Nebraska will have its
field of alfalfa. I believe we will soon see
hundreds of acres of it growing in the
sandhills; for there is where it; will grow
if we can keep the soil still long enough
to get it started. Last spring (the time
of our late frost) 1 was at J? t. Kandall,
S. D. I saw asmall patchof alfalfa, per
haps a quarter of an acre, 'that had been
sown for experiment. It was a fine stand
and stood from ten to twelve inches high.
In a country where we can grow as use
ful a grass as this, and still a corn coun
try, why look for a better place to locate
than Nebraska?"
