In my remarks I do not deslro jou to understand that I bolicvo alfalfa, kaillr corn or cano or inj' other crop to bo ab solutely sure each anil tivcrj jear, orj do I buliovn tho country has a location on this glubo that knows no failure. Rut this I do bclievo, that according to tho otomal tltncss of things, some kinds of crops nro better adopted to this country than others. Alfalfa, kufllr corn ttnd cane, all llrst class forngo producers, kufllr corn mid cano boiug good grain producers ns well, and when onco fairly tested and their nutritious qualities fairly understood, by us, thoy will grow in favor jour by year, nnd my exporionco in raising them has sntiatlod mo that thoy tiro fur surer than Indian corn and cun bo fod to just an good ad vantage. I placo tho in all three in tho satno class as regards their adaptability to withstand our olimato and hot dry woathor of July nnd August, nnd mature their crop. Tho yield pur acre is im monso. Alfalfa is tho plant of nil others that is neodod in this country. It not only furnishss the best of pasture, both lato and early in tho eonson, but from throe to six tons of tho best hay por aero ouch year for nil kinds of stock, uud when onco sot in, is u porinanont lixturo and becomes a part of your roal estato. How long I cuunot say, but in plain eight of my house is a picco seeded sev enteen yours ago by Dr. Smith, that looked last Benson jnst as green and vl,. orous iib it over did and for j curs it was fen ccd ns a hog pasture, and pastured mid pastured in seuson nnd out. Al falfa not only furnishes an nbundanco of hay and pasturo of tiio very best quality but owing to tho iuinieuso depth which tho roots penetrate, uud bringing from tho subsoil its feed to support its nu morous branches and foliage, makes it ono of tho best soil ronovators and for tilizors, and ono of tho most essential farm products needed on tho farm. Thoro is not an intelligent farmer in tho country today, who has not asked liitnsolf time nnd ugain what tho result would be, this constant cropping tho oanio ground, your after year, with out any rost or return to tho holl. Our farms uro liko a pocketbook, If jou keep taking out and nuer put any money in, you will soon como to the bottom. The enmo way with jour farm. Sotno farms cun stand it longor than others. So cun bguio pockutbooks, but this cotiBtnnt drain will eoonor or lator empty oither ono or tho other. What clover has done for the oust I believe alfalfa will do for tho west, known us tho soiui arid belt, whon it has boon tried. Hut thoro has boon so much written and Btiid about alfalfa, the way mid timo to prepare tho ground, tho amount of seed to bow and way to bow it and tho timo to bow it. You hnvo nil undoubt edly rond ditTuront urticles on tho wuy of Feeding it to make u bucccss. Soma advocate fall plowing. Othors say spring is just ns good, but oubaoil. Sotuo say thirty potiNtls of seed to tho acre and sow from tho first to tho middle, of Maj, but bosuro to wait until thoro is no danger of frost. 1 boliovo thnt u largo amount of thoso rumors, eithor in printed matter or oth erwise, originated from theory nnd not from any experimental know lodgo in tho business. Hut, I learned years ago that thero was n big risk in Bowing it nnd haing a good stand ono year from tho time it was sowed, mid I doubt not that thoro are a largo number that huve had tho sumo exporionco. Tho sood caino up und ovorything lookod lovely. Every few dajs wo went out to seo how it was coming on mid noticed thnt it looked thinner und thinner until it hnd Miuishod, or so nearly so that it would not pay to louvo it, Now, whnt was tho trouble? The seed wus good or it would not huve como up. Nothing wrong thero but whoro was it? I tell you it you hnd watched vory closely in thoso hot wind days in Muy nnd June that tho littlo leaves woro burned so dry uud dead thnt when you touched thorn with your fin gors thoy would huvo powdorod up. When they 'got so dry, tho wind blows thorn into frugnionts mid jou cannot toll whoio they have gono to. Thous and of acres huvo bu'un Inst nnd tiio fanners discouraged, so that it took yours boloro thoy attsmpted ugain. Some got a. good stand, Tho locution jS-,..-Ssw-''-,--',' . - "' .-&: rJ:Z''jZzia- CLOUD, NEBRASKA, 1MARCII 20, 1800. has a groat deal to do with it. This I soon discovered to bo a fact, that whou it was just out of the ground until it was two or three indies high and por hops more, it was viry lender, und dry hot days with high winds had a vory VlfutiiiLMii;: cfiect on it nnd caused nmro loss of j oung plants than nil tho other cuuscs -combined. So 1 adopted oarly sowing togothor with a small amount of spring wheat or oats, suyouo-hnlt bushel to tho acre, to protect the young plant. Ily Bowing tho lust of Murch or first of April, tho plnnts got lurgo enough by tho timo hot wonthor comes to atnnd it much bottor. And ns regards its freez ing, I huvo novo hnd nny hurt by early plunting uud whilo young, nor have I over mot tho mnn that has. I consider it fully as hurdy us clover whon young, und much moro so whon ono or two years old, uud I should cortninly rocom mend spring whoat or oatn with it on land that is woll protocted on tho south by bluffs or timbor, becauso tho whoat or outs will grow faster than the alfalfa, and protect it from tho wind, which is liublo to bioak it off by whipping it bnck und forth, thus killing it. And if your grain or weeds should grow vory runk nnd thick it will bo necessary to run your mower over it us it smothora out vory easily tho first season. I consider that 15 pounds of seod is just as good iib thirty. 1 have tried both und the pieco having llfteon pounds to tho aero is as thick and good as can well grow, while thn on which I sowed thirty pounds is so truck tfint it will dio ont, tho stronger plantB smothering tho weaker as thoro 13 not room for nil. I Bowed twonty uerofl sovoral jears ago with olovon pounds to tho ucre, mid it was a good stand. Moro than fifteen pounds I consider n wasto of Boed if tho Beed is good, and if it is not good hotter not bow it at all. In 6owing do not coor too deep. A light burrow, u brush or n rain wliero tho ground is mnllow, is suf ficient. I would recommend rolling after it had got fairly startod, say two or three inches high. Do not plank it ns thu wind will blow tbo tine soil and un cover tho sood. Bettor leavo it us tho harrow loaes it, tho teeth mnrks will piovent the ground from boing blown awuy. Many farmers may Bay, "Oh, yes, for jou fellows thnt aro on tho bottoms alfalfa is nil right, but wo can't till have bottom hind." Very truo, but I beliovo if jou cuu't hnvo bottom land jon cun liuvu alfalfa all tho sumo if you wish it bud enough to try. My faith in it is bo strong tliut I oowod sovonty ucros lust spring on high land, nnd vory rough at that, and no ono could ask for u better prospect than thnt is today. A woek ago I biiw a field on the farm of Mr. Joseph Hunter, of Nuckolls county. It was on a high knob mid quite steep to tho apex from threo sides, yot as lino a stand ns ono would wish. Also another pioco on tho furm of Mr. HoDry Wach man of thin county on high ana rough laud that is good enough for anybody. So I am cominced that with proper euro in sowing thut tho farmor on tho high prmrio neod not bo discouruged, but try a pieco. Plow jour ground the fall lioforo nnd plow it good nnd deop. give it time to so.tlo by spring. Lot tho stock run over it. In tho spring run a diso uvnr it to mollow tho top. Luavo tho subFcil firmly packed. Sow tho last of Murch if wenthor will pormit. Sow a half bushel of spring wheat or oats with it. Mow it two or threo Union tho first seuson. Do not puBturo it, although I do not think pasturing detrimental IT proporly done. With u good uvnrngn yoar if you do not got n good stnnd and koop it you cun conclude I nm talking through my hut. Ono thing moro bo fore I leave this subjoct. Tho pocket gophor is the common onemy of alfalfa, and for yours I was up u stump an ro gnrds gotting rid of thorn, but I can now toll jou a suro wuy to fix thoiu.

I liko to eco tho farmers wake up to the fact thnt tho great Ciod that cre ated all things made no mistalto. It would bo just as rousonablo for a man to condemn it now harvester or any otlior pieco of mnchinory that ho had noor used or did not know tho principles by which tho invontor expected it to per form its work bocauBO it did not work liko the old ono ho was unod to. I huvo seen men try to work such mnchinory und frot and storm and any tho thing was a failure, and tho master mind did not know what ho was about. Yot, anothor mnn would tuko it, study ita construction, put it togethor right, try und understand and master tho idea of tho maker and it would movo off liko u thing of lifo nnd work complete It in u hard mnttor for tin to admit that wo tiro at fault. It is so much easior t lay tho bliimo on soma ono olan. I not that the cuso with thin country? I bo liove it is. So when wo will stop nnd think nnd go at it intelligently, nnd furm nccording to tho country in which wo livo, thon thoro will bo loss cnuso for growling nnd dissutisfuotion nnd more chnnco for success than thoro is ut pros ont. Do not coniino youtsolt to ono or two vnriotios ot crops, but put in u small patch of all kinds. You can thon study the a und Und which Buccootls best. I nm satisfied thut whon jou hnvo onco tried kaillr corn jou will bo con vinced that it is ono of tho grains und forage plants jou will give a porinanont plnco on your farm. My o.xporiuno in its cultivation is not very extensive; but sufficient to teach mo sotno errors that I mndo in its culture. 1 do net think it neccEBnry for mo to toll jou of the mis takes I made, but will toll jou how I oxpect to handlo it in tho future. I shall put it in witli a lister, ondeiivoring not to got it too thick. Ono bushol is sulliciont to plant twonty ucroB. Thon work it with n wood cuttor nnd listor harrow until about oightoon inches high, thon once through with tho corn plow. If anything moro is dono with it it will bo with a small harrow or ono horse, drag. My roason for this is thut it Bonds out its roots vory curly nnd very numerous, completely occupying tho ground botwoon tho rows, mid if plowed ns Into nnd as deop as corn, tho roots nro badly torn out, nnd if u vory dry spell sots in ut the time tho crop is permnrrently injured. With propor cul tivation I beliovo it will produco from twonty-tlvo to 100 por cont mom grnin than corn, and is just as good food for nny kind of stock. In ordor to got tho best results it should bo ground before footling. My way of harvesting was this: I cut it witli a binder, lot tho stalks dry thoroughly in shock, then run shock und ull through tho threshing machine That has nearly tho satno elToct on tho stnllta as shred ding, und bottor forago I riovor fed with so littlo wasto. Now in conclusion let mo Bay, if tho farmers of this country will adopt somo plan liko tho above, thoy novor will bo compelled to soil olT their pigs and calves at sacrifice to save them from starving in citfeo thoy lono a corn crop, and if thoy got a corn ctop, so much tiio botUr, Thut will keep until the day of need.

I will give my experiments, which I mndo in 1892 and 189.1 In 1892, 1 hnd 12 acred of barloy which was full of chinch bugs. Whon tho barloy was cut tho bugs wont to tho cornfield und bo gun to dostroy tho corn. I got somo bugs infected from tho Kunsua tixpori- mont Station nnd gathered ubout ono gallon of healthy bugs from the Hold und, putting thorn together in n box, let it stand two days. I then scattered tho bugs over tho cornfiold, and in six duys tho bugs wero ull dead, und my corn was safe. I then gavo bugs to my noighbor, und ho mot with good success.

Cholera mid small pox among thu human family lira caused by minute bactorial parasites, which tiro more dis tantly related to tho parasite which kills tho chinch bugs. Ail of thoso parasitic plants, which huvo no truo fiowora und soods, nro called fungus. I huved stivod up u numbor of white fungus covered bugs for an early start this spring, and if any farmer finding any bugs will send them to mo, 1 will start un infection box, uud, if I hnvo bucccss, I will send diseased bugs to uny farmor, freo ot churgo. It uny farmer wunts to try tho infoc tiou on chinch bugs, tho following direc tion must bo carried out: Make a box of white pine, 21110x8 inches, mako tho covor light, fitting bo the bugs cannot escape; sprinkle tho box thoroughly with water, insido mid out; placo un ovon layer ,of soil in the box, halt un inch deep; sprinklo the hoM until it is moistened through, but not muddy; put on thin In) or ot green wheut or corn ovor tho soil, thon put in livo or six fungUH-coorod bugs; now put in healthy bugs from the Hold, mid faston down tho covor; cxamiuo tho box daily, and sprinkle tho sides and soil ns often us they uppear to bo gutting dry.
