HOW TO SOW ALFALfA PLANT
Soil Should Be Quito Firm With Good
Mulch Cultivate to Conserve
All the Moisture.
(Hy rnor BMAB NICLSON, IrrlBatlon
Knglneer, Idaho )
Good preparation of tho land foi
planting is Important. Tho soil should
bo quite firm and should hnvo a mulch
of looso soil an Inch and a half or twe
inches deop over tho surface Fall
plowing will insure sufficient pack
lng of tho soil and In the spring sur
face can be worked up Into good seed
bed. Tho early cultivation should bo
gin as soon in spring ns tho ground
can be worked and bo continued to
conserve moisture until danger ol
hoavy frcozlng Is over, when seeding
may bo done. Thoro' Bhould bo sum
dent moisture In tho soil to bring up
tho alfalfa and keep It growing until
it Is eight or ten Inches high,' whon
water may bo applied if needed. With
Bpring plowing it Is difficult to got a
sood bed firm enough nnd ono that will
retain moisture well enough for bcsl
results. Tho soil will bo too loose
and will dry out quickly. It Is thoro
fore advisable when the land Is plow
ed In spring to lrrlgato before seed
lng, provided there has not been an
abundance of rain. Alfalfa may be
started at any time during tho season
until as late as August or even Sep
tember, provided tho land Is lrrlgatod
beforehand. In somo localities where
early fall frosts occur seeding In
September may not bo practicable.
For tho boBt results tho seeding
should bo tolerably early In spring.
Tho particular time will depend upon
the altitude nnd tho local climatic
conditions. A few degrees of frost
will do no Injury but n heavy frost
is likely to kill alfalfa when Just out
of tho ground.
If tho seed bed Is In perfect condi
tion and a drill bo used, eight to
twolvo pounds of first grade seed per
aero should bo sufficient for a good
stand.
The use of a seeder that rows in
drills and covers tho seed Is to be
recommended aB the seeds aro cov
ered and each seed Is given an equal
chanco for germination with every
other. A drill with press whocls at
tached Is also desirable. Tho seed
should bo sown shallow from one
half Inch to two Inches deep. If a
drill is not to be had, tho alfalfa may
be broadcasted and harrowed in. The
author has seen very good stands
from brr tdcasting with tho wheelbar
row seeder. Drilling, however, is tho
better method.
Seeding without a nurso crop will
give best resultsr Especially is thus
true on raw sago brush land that has
not been In alfalfa before. Sown
alone tho alfalfa will mako a fairly
good growth tho first year and under
favorable conditions may make n light
crop. It will become well established
and yield well tho second year. When
sown with a nurse crop on now land
It generally makes but a spindling
growth the first year and does not
produce a root systom and a crown
strong enough to enable It to iniVe
good returns tho second year. Thus
seeding with a nurso crup is not a
good practice, at least not on new
land, as the nurse crop does not make
up for the loss In yield of alfalfa tho
second year.
On land that has been in alfalfa
once and Is in good tilth, seeding with
a nurso crop Is allowable, and may
glvo good results. Tho grain should
be sown at tho proper time In spring,
but seeding of alfalfa should be de
layed Just before tho first Irrigation.
At that tlmo broadcast and harrow It
In. If the furrow system of Irrigation
Is employed run tho harrow with tho
furrows so as not to fill them up. Tho J
seeding of alfalfa and tho first Irriga
tion must of course tako placo beforo
the grain gets too high. When sown
In this way tho iirlgatlon water can
bo applied according to the grain crop
may require, if sown together with the
nurso crop It may bo In need of Irri
gation earlier than Is ordinarily bene
flclal Tor grain.
"When the soil la light and heavy
wlndsare prevalent It Is necessary to
Eeed with a nurse crop as a protec
tion against the wind. One-half or
two-thirds tho seed used whon tho
grain Is sown alone should bo usod.
Learning to Graft.
Why not urge tho boys to experi
ment in grafting different kinds of
fruit trees? Dig up somo small fruit
trees, such as plum, chorry, applo or
poach. Some of which can bo raised
by planting tho seed. The plum and
cherry trees can bo found almost any
time where tho sprouts come from
tho old tree.
Then get somo limbs from a treo of
tho same kind and of a choice vari
ety, and bury thorn nil In n box of dry
dirt lit the collar. At any tlmo during
tho winter xr spring graft them and
put back In tho diit until tlmo to plant
out.
Nitrogenous Feeds.
Whllo meat Is an oxcollont food for
egg production, on account of its
nitrogenous quality, thero are a num
ber of other feeds which are also
high In nitrogen, among which may
bo found Unseed meal, malt sprouts
and gluten foods.
. , t
Loss In Eggs.
'The loss In this country duo to tho
spoiling of eggs constitutes an enor
mous waste, which should bo saved
were eggs given reasonable caro from
the tlmo of laying until they reach tho
consumer.
Growing Animals.
Young animals should incroaso in
weight much faster relatively than
moro maturo animals. It nover pays
to stunt a calf, colt or pig.
OLD-FASHIONED IDEAS WILL NOT DO
IN PACKING FRUIT FOR HIGHEST PRICE
By Careful Attention, Absolute Honesty and Judicious Advertising
Farmer Can Create Demand for His Particular Variety
of Garden Produce.
(Hy C. M. SCIIULTZ).
A Now York bUBlncsB man who was
forced to a Now JTBoy suburb on
account of broken health, Is making
n splendid living by ropacklng fruit
and vegetables which ho buyB from
farmers nnd truckcrB, ropacklng thorn
and Belling direct to tho consumer.
Ho drives on an nvorago 20 miles,
and tho outdoor Ufo has completely
restored his health.
Thrco years ago this man com
menced business with n one-horse
wagon. He repacked his fruit and
vegetables with tho aid of a small
son, 'drove his own wagon, nnd con
ducted tho ontlro business practically
alono. "
Ho now owns two double-team
wagons, two slnglo-horso wagons and
a light auto truck, covering four
routes, each from 12 to 15 miles long.
This mnn is simply doing what tho
farmors and fruit-growers from whom
Wig, buys his supplies ought to do thorn-
selves If tlioy would make an mo
profit thoro is to bo mado in tho
business. Growing tho crop Is not nil

Thu Nnw York self-made huckster
buys fruit and vegetables JuBt as they
come from tho farmers' wagons. They
are delivered at his placo often cov
ered with dirt, tho fruit bruised and
scratched, vegetables untrlmmed and
all generally unsorted.
Tho fruit, particularly tho larger
varieties, such as apploB, poaches and
pears, are carefully sorted and graded
by tho huckster, tho apples waBhod,
and tho fruit Is packed In small boxes
or baskets, "clean, uniform and highly
attractive In appearance. Small fruits
such as chorrles and berries aro often
dumped out of their original pack
ages as they como from tho farmers,
sorted and repacked in clean boxes.
Cherrlos nro packed In boxes that

and over tho top is tacked gauzo to
protect them from Insects.
All root-vegetables aro carefully
washed, topped and bound In bunchos.
Tomatoes aro graded and repacked In
clean baskets, and no damnged vege
tables aro offered for sale.
This man can prove by his books
that ho makes a not profit of from
25 to 100 per cent, by his method of
handling and marketing.
Thero is no reason why tho men
who grow fruit and vegetables
should not mako equally as big profit,
provided they possess tho faculty for
organization and tho patlonco and
pride necessary to put up their pro
ducts in a stylo that will most readily
attract tho eyes of their customers.
Whllo It Is not always practicable
for tho farmer or gardener to sell
direct to the consumer ho can, by
careful sorting nnd packing his pro
duct, get a much better prlco when
selling to tho .retail dealer than ho
can it ho follows tho old-fashioned
