ENEMIES OF ALFALFA
Woods Constitute Worst Factor

Especially True In Humid Sectloni
Where Bulk of Rainfall Comes
During Comparatively Mild
Winters How to Eradicate.
(Dy J. M. WESTOATE.)
Over a considerable portion of the
country weeds constitute tbo worst
enemy of alfalfa. This is especially
truo In tho humid sections uij in
tboso parts of tho west and south
west wiicro tho bulk of tho rainfall
comes during tho comparatively mild
winters. Witch-grass or couchygrasa

states south of Now York, bluo
grass In tho blucgrass sections, and
Iho "foxtail" or wild millets and crab
grass in tho central states aro the
worst enemies in tho respectlvo sec
tions from tho standpoint of tho nl
falfn plant
In tho Irrigated sections of tho west,
especially In thoso sections character
ized by rainfall during tho compara
tively mild winters, tho growth ol
tho wild barloyB is a decided draw
hack to tho successful production of
alfalfa. Thoy maturo shortly boforo

tall grass, and wall barloy.

weeds uro grontly Injured, owing to
their dlfforont root systomB. In sec
tions whoro the wild barloys aro
troublesome It is sometimes thought
necessary to burn tho first crop ot
hay. Another mothod is to cut tho
first cro'p whllo tho wild barloy la still
immature and feed tho mlxturo o'
alfalfa and gross hay. Tho objoction
to this mothod Is that It necessitates
tho cutting of tho alfalfa whon too
young, A heavy growth of crab-
grass Is somotlmos burned In the early
spring.
Dodder is ono of tho worst weeds
so fnr as alfalfa is concerned. Tho
doddor seeds germlnato In tho ground
nnd tho young plants soon attach
themselves to tho nlfalfn seedlings.
As soon as tho threndllko stem Is firm
ly attached to the alfalfa plant tho

withers away. Thenceforth tho dod
der lives entirely on tho alfalfa. It la
very difficult to oradlcato when ouco
established, and tor this roanori great
care should bo taken to avoid intro
ducing it with the alfalfa seed at soed
lng tlmo. Grnzlng close with sheep

tlvo In holding doddor In check. It

dodder by burning with different ma
terlals has occasionally proved suc
cessful, but It is apt to be moro oxpon
sivo than tho removal ot tho affected
portions ot tho plants. If tho stand of
alfalfa Is badly affected with dodder,
tho nlfalfn should bo plowed up bo
foro tho doddor goes to soel anil tbo
land kept In cultivated cropB for two
or moro years.
Care of Orchard.
In addition to growing nud turning
under clover crops and feeding the
soil with mineral fertilizers, It s
profltnblo to dress tho orchard soli
frequently with stable manuro, tho
best of general fertilizers, If flvo
or ten ncros of orchard aro handled
In tho manner ot toll treatment, nnd,
tho trees cared for in a proper man
ner, and tho fruit packed and shipped
in the highest upproved manner more
clear profits will be realized than
from forty to eighty ncros that Is
simply planted nnd left to tako caro

Preventing Weeds Going to Seed.
Weeds should be kept down till
thoy will not bo capable of further
Injury. Tho main object Is to sco
that they do not produce seed, for nn
ture In nor desiro to provent tho
extinction of any species, endows

LOCUST TREES FROM SEEDS
As Soon as Plants Break Through

Cultivation and Irrigation.
my ii. O. LONOYEAIl. Colorado Afri-
cultural College,)
Any person who can securo eedd of
black or honey locust can readily
grow his own trees of these two spo
clcs. Seods that havo been kept dry,
oven eight or ten years, will grow
almost as readily as those that have
been gathered but ono year. In
either caso tho seods aro so hard that
If planted dry, as' ono would peas ot
beans, many of them will fall to gorrn-
lnata and all of thorn will bo very
slow. They should first bo treated
with hot water, in tha following man
ner: For about one-halt pound of soed
placo the seeds In any can or Jar that
will hold about ono gallon nnd that

about two or thrco quarts of boiling
water upon tho seeds, cover, and al
low to stand over night. When tho
water Is poured off, It will bo found
that many ot tho seeds havo doubled

nbout three feet apart, planting tha
seed about ono Inch npnrt, In tho case
of tho black locust, and three Inches
apart for tho honey locust. Covor
tho, former two-thirds ot nn Inch, and
tho lnttor one Inch deep, nnd firm tho
soil upon thorn. As Boon as tho plants
break through tho ground thoy should
bo given tho snmo cultivation and Ir
rigation no n crop of corn. The young
trees will probnbly need thinning, so
ns to mnko thqm nbout four to llvo
Inches apart In tho row, This will
glvo much stronger seedlings than to
allow them to grow much thicker.
At the end of tho growing season It
Is bcBt to dig tho young trees Just be
fore tho ground freezes nnd bury
thorn In a well drained situation, cov
ering with at least six Inches of noil,
first tying them Into bundles or 25 to
CO trees each. They should bo dug
the following spring, In the latter pnrt
ot March or tho first ot April, and
planted in permanent quartors.
Tho Chestnut Blight.
This began Its flrBt noticeable rav

Brooklyn moro than 10,000 dead chest

city there aro very tow llvo chestnut
trees left, and Connecticut, Now Jer

less extent even Massachusetts, hnvo

deadly fungus. In this Instance it Is
not an Insect that causes tho trouble
but a disease that appears to bo con

offers good ndvlco on tho uso of com
mercial fertilizers Especially well
stated nro somo things that fertilizers
will not do. Commercial fertlllzort

DAIRY NOTES,
Careful feeding ot tho bull la neces
sary. Tho breed docs not always indlcnU
good milkers.
Tho siro you use will determine
which kind you will get.
Tho sire wisely selected should lm
provo on tho present herd.
Whitewash Is a good -disinfectant
It should be used liberally In tho cow
stable.
There are poor cows In all breedi
and tho selection should be made on
tho merits of tho Individual cow.
Should you desiro to build up b
good reputation for table milk in yout
town, it might bo well to hnvo two
breeds.
To bo prepared to proporly selccl
a bull suitable for your herd, you
should know your own herd thor
oughly.
Absolute sanitation nnd cleanliness
are necessary from tbo time the cow
leaves the pasture till the butter It)
consumed.
Tho prcsenco of bacteria producing
n bitter flavor Is the cause of the but
ter becoming strong in three or tour
days after churning.
Next to getting rid ot tho pooi
cow, the greatest need In dairying to
day is better methods ot feeding and
caring for tho dairy herd.
Tho udder and teats of the cow
should bo washed and dried before
milking, and the milking should bo
dono with clean dry hands.
Corn sllago nnd alfalfa mako an cx
cellcnt ration for dairy cows and good
ylcldB of milk have been reported
where nothing else was fed.
Tho average Holsteln cow will prob
ably produce more milk than other
breeds, but with a lower fat content
than the Jersey or Guernsey.
A heavy piece of canvass well

Prosecution a Check to Mail Frauds
THE sleuths of tho postoffico de

WESTERN CANADA'S
GOOD CROP
PROSPECTS
YIELDS OF WHEAT WILL LIKELY
BE 25 TO 30 BUSHELS
PER ACRE.
In an lntorvlow wjth Mr. W.' J.
White, who has chargo of tho Cana
dian -government immigration office
In tho United States, and who has re
cently mado an oxtonded trip through
tho provinces ot Manitoba, Saskatche
wan and Alberta in Western Canada,
Ho said that evory point ho visited
ho was mot with tho ono roport, uni
versally good crops of wheat, outs
nnd bnrloy. Thero wlU this year bo a
much Increased acroago over last
year. Many fnrmers, who hud but
ono hundred acres last year, have in
creased their cultivated and seeded
acreago as much ns fifty per cent.
With tho prospects ns they are ot
present this will mean from $12 to
$15 additional wealth to each. Ho
bow many lnrgo fields running from
300 to 1,000 acres in extent and It ap
peared to him that thero was not an
aero of this but would yield from 20
to 25 or 3Q bushols ot wheat por acre,
whllo tho oat prospects might snfely
bo cstimnted at from 40 to 70 bushels
por acre. In all parts of the west,
whothor It bo Manitoba, Saskatche
wan or Albertn, north and south, cast
and west nnd la tho districts whero
last year thero was a partial failure
ot cropB, tho condition of all grain Is
universally good and claimed by most
of tho farmers to bo from ono to two
weeks in advanco of any year for tho
past ton or twelvo years. It does not
seem that thero was a slnglo foot of
tho ground that was proporly seeded
that would not produce.
Thero aro thoso throughout western
Canada who predict that thero will be
200,000,000 bushels ot wheat rniscd
thero this year, and It tho present
favorablo conditions continue, thero
does not seem any reason why these
prophesies should not como true.
Thero 1b yet a possibility of hot
winds reducing tho quantity in somo
parts, but with tho strongly rooted
crops nnd tho sufficiency of precipita
tion that tho country has already
boon favored with, this probability la
reduced to a minimum.
The prices of farm lands at tho,
present tlmo aro holding steady and
landB can probably still bo purchased
at tho price sot this spring, ranging
from $15 to $20 per acre, but with a
hnrvested crop, such ns la expected,
thero Is no reason why theso snmo
lands should not bo worth from $20
to $25 per aero, with an almost abso
luto assuranco that by next spring
thero will still be a further advance
In prices.
Mr. Whlto says that thoso InndB are
ns cheap at today's figures with tho
country's proven worth as they wero
a few years ago at halt the price
when tho general public had but' a
vaguo idea of tho producing quality
of wostern Canada lands.
Tho land agents at. the different
towns along tho lino of railway are
very active. A largo number of acres
are turned over weekly to buyers
from tho dlfforont states' In the south,
whero lands that produce no better
are sold at from $150 to $200 per
acre.
The homostoad lands are becoming
scarcer day by dny and thoso ,who nro
unoblo to purchase, preferring to
homestead, aro directing their atten
tion to tho park acres lying In the
northerly part of tho central dis
tricts. It bus been found that whllo
thcso aro somewhat moro difficult to
bring under tho subjugation of tho
plow, tha soil la fully as productive
as la tho districts farther south. They
possesB tho advantage that tho more
open prnlrlo areas do not possess;
thnt thero is on theso InndB nn open
acreago ot from fifty to seventy per
cent of tho wholo nnd tho bnlnnce Is
mado up of groves of poplar of fair
size, which, offer Bhelter for cattle,
while tho grasses aro of splendid
strength and plentiful, bringing about
a more activo Btago of mixed farming
than can be carried on in tho more
open districts to tho south.
The emigration for the post year
has been the greatest in the history
of Canada and it Is keeping up in
record shape. The larger number ot
thoso, who will go this year will be
thoso who will buy lands nearer' the
-line of railways, preferring to poy n
llttlo higher price for good location
than to go back from tho line of rail
ways somo 40 or 60 miles to home
stead. Mr. Whlto has visited tho different
agencies throughout the United States
and he found that tho correspondence
at the various offices has largely in
creased, the number of callers li
greater than ever. .
