For the sand hills of Western Nebras.
ka alfalfa seems to give good promise of
success. At tho recent farmers institute
held in Lincoln county a farmer related
his plan for obtaining a "catch." He
had experimented last spring trying sev
eral methods. He has settled upon the
following tut being thoroughly satisfac
tory and will put in one hundred acres
to alfalfa this spring. He breaks the
od in April, then cross-harrows the sod
with a disk harrow, sows the seed on the
freshly turned sod, and follow this
again with the disk going lengthwise of
the break n Then he harrows with an
ordinary drag harrow. The depth to
water on this land is 1H0 feet. Xobruska
