Teac-liiiif ? Hoys in Grow Alfalfa.
The Farmers' institute of Brown
county , Illinois , is doing a good work
J > y teaching the boys how to grow al
falfa. They are given the study of bul
letins and books upon alfalfa written
by competent authorities and are then
required to pass a written examination
upon their knowledge of the same.
Good .prizes are offered for the best
papers upon the subject. The first pre
mium is the payment of all expenses
in attending the short courses at the
college of agriculture and other pre
miums are given for second and third
best papers.
The Illinois Farmers' Institute lias
done excellent work in teaching the
farm boys how to grow corn and the
broadening of the work by extending in
struction to other crops is an example
that might well be followed by other
Htate institutions.

, iho.-c Hung on tiie niries of the West
to learn that even oxen are still used
for the work of plowing. But on hilly ,
stony land the ox K still valuable for
a plow animal. The fact that he is
slow makes him the more valuable ,
for when the plow is moving among
vtoucs and roots it is better that it
move slowly lhan rapidly. But on tlie
lands of the West , say ; the Farmers' *
animal is ne"d-
Review , a fast-moving -
ed , and the ox is outclassed. The sane
variations apply to the use of plows
drawn by electric motors and to
greater plows driven by steam , Some
experiments have recently been made
in Germany to determine at just what
point the steam plow is more valuable
than the plow drawn by horses or
oxen. The conclusion is reached that
it is impossible to make an estimate.
In the ivpurt the cost of power ma
chinery for plowing and cultivating
small farms is said to be prohibitive ,
but where farmers owning large areas
can co-operate and buy a steam plow
this is declared to be a matter of econ
omy.
C'uri.
Xot a few farmers are of t'.ie op'.n-
icn that the mold lives in the soil erin
in the rubbish of the iicid. especially
if the moldy ears are thrown down
when found or are left in the field , and
thus is carried over from year to year ,
says a writer in the Bloomington Pan-
tagraph. Perhaps the mold is not so
apparent this season as usual , because
of a lack of just the kind of weather
to propagate it.
One of the best corn experts in the
state ( II. A. Winter of Wenona ) said
last year that he believed this dry rot
may have been the cause of so imu'h
poor seed corn. It frequently happens
that an otherwise good-looking ear has
a trace of mold around the tips of iln
grains just next the cob , perhaps only
on one side or one ( -ml , and so is over
looked when ( he seed selection is made.
It seems as if it would be a good
time to stamp out the mold when there
is a small amount of it. by destroying
every ear that can be found.
From what is known of this disease
it certainly would be a safe and practi
cal thing to make special pains to pre
vent any of the moldy ears from r---
maJning in the Held or the corn crib
lo contaminate sound corn.
Instead of dropping a moldy ear to
ground , or letting it remain in the husk
on the stalk , when discovered , every
such ear should be snapped and thrown
into a box attached to the side of the
wagon.
When unloading at the crib , every
ear at all affected with the mold
.should be separated from the other
corn , throwing it into a box or barrel
provided tor the purpose. There is
very little feeding value , even for pigs
and chickens , in corn so damaged , and
it would better be destroyed by burn
ing.
Ilees In "Winter.
It Is not necessary to go to the ex
pense of buying tlie finest grades of
white granulated sugar , for a straw
colored sugar will answer just as well
provided it is crystallized. Molasses
sugar should , however , be avoided , be
cause it contains burnt or caramel
sugar which is Injurious to bees. In
feeding , the writer prefers to use tlie
feed lukewarm if possible and late In
the day so that the bees will gather tlia
feed mainly by night. This helpi
against robbing. The entrance to each
hive should be small during feeding
operations as a further precaution
against robbing practices. In - wintering
ing out of doors there is nothing bet
ter than a double-walled hive packed
with chaff , straw or paper.
Roofing paper fabrics afford excel
lent protection to exposed hives , says
the Farmers' Voice. Some protect
hives by placing them in a row and
covering them as they would cabbages.
Others put them in clamps. The main
idea , of course , is to protect against
long continued cold weather. Bees can
not stand cold , at least not lower than
TO degrees. But the best plan of win
tering bees in most of our Northern
States is by means of a dry cellar in
which a temperature of oO degrees
Fahrenheit can be steadily maintained.
In addition , it should be dark , noiseless
and well ventilated. Where there is a
door to the cellar inside a building It j
is best because this door to the stair
way can be left open and yet no light
can get in. If in addition to this
there is no disturbance of the bees
during their long sleep , it Is likely
they will come through their Imprison
ment with little loss , besides requiring
very little food not more than ten
pounds perhaps.
A good many boos die during the
winter , so many as to be quite alarm
ing to a beginner. They are the old
veterans , and in any case would die
of old age and hard work , so do not
be alarmed. Some beekeepers provide
a space beneath the frames for the
dead hoes to fall into and the same
f-pacc' affords an excellent opportunity
for the bees to cluster together some
thing" like half a sphere. They are
warmer than if kept separated by the
combs. They leave the cluster occa
sionally t. ) go after feed , but soon re
turn to their comrades in the cluster.

WHAT WINTER WHEAT IS DOING
POIl SOUTHERN ALBERTA.
Croii.s OH lliu Former
IMaius of Canadian
AVe.se.
That portion of the country in West
ern Canada formerly recognized as
ranching country has developed into
one of the best winter wheat districts
in the continent. Yields are quoted
running from 30 to (50 bushels to the
acre , and giving a return to the farmer
of from $23 to $30 per acre. These
lands are now selling at from $1'J to
$10 per acre , and pay well at that fig
ure. 11. Howes , of Magrath , Alberta ,
Western Canada , had 30 acres of land
in wheat , which averaged 43 bushels
to the acre ; his yield of oats was ; 53
bushels. The value to him per acre of
wheat was $03. J. F. Haycock of the
same place says. "I had 03 acres of
wheat , o3 acres of oats and 4 acres
of barley. My average yield of oats
to the acre was SO bushels ; wheat
winter ( JO bushels and Red Fyfe . ' 53
bushels , and barley 30 bushels. The
value to me per acre was wheat. $ : ! S ;
oats. $ :5L : . and barley. $2-1. " J. F. Brad-
shaw. of Magrath. had 1.0:50 : acres of
wheat in crop that averaged : > ! ) 'j ' bush
els to the acre , his oats . .2 bushels.
barley 53 bushels. He threshed :51HiO : (
bushels of wheat from 340 acres. He
also had 230 tons of sugar beets from
23 acres worth $3.02 V- per ton. W. S.
Sherod. of Lethbridge. says. "I came
to Lethbridge from Souris , North Da
kota , in April , 1SJ07. having purchased
DftO acres of land in this district last
fall. I had 12S acres of Alberta Red
Winter wheat , which was put in on
breaking in the fall of 1900 , wnich
yielded forty-one and a half bushels
to the acre , for which I received S7V- >
cents per bushel , which paid me $30.30
per acre. I had 100 acres "stubbled
in ; ' ' that is , disced in on the stubble.
which yielded 22 bushels to the acre at
S71/- : cents per bushel , which paid me
$19.23 to the acre. I also had 330
acres of strictly volunteer crop , which
it was intended to prepare in the sum
mer ; but when it was seen that it was
a good-looking crop , it was allowed to
go. From this we threshed 13 bushels
to the acre , which paid us at the rate
of ST1/ cents per bushel , or $13.12 per
acre. Our total crop yielded us 14,742
bushels of first-class wheat. Taking it
as a whole , I consider that I had a
( irst-class crop all through ; and , taking
into consideration the fact of part of
the crop having been "stubbled in , " and
part strictly volunteer ( which was
never touched at all until the binder
was put into it ) I consider I had a
heavy crop. I might say that I was
in North Dakota five years , and I never
grew as heavy a crop during that time. |
This is the 23th day of November , and I
my teams are still ploughing , and from !
the appearance of the weather , will be |
for some time yet. " R. W. Bradshaw , |
of Magrath. says , "I had this year 400 i
acres in crop ; viz. , 200 acres of wheat (
and 200 acres in oats. My average
yield of oats to the acre was 30 bush
els , and wheat 22 bushels. The value
to me per acre for wheat was $19 and
oats $17. The highest price obtained
by me this year or offered me for my
grain was for wheat 82 cents per busli-
el aud $1.03 per hundred for oats. I
also had 100 tons of hay worth $12 per
ton , and will say my wheat was all
volunteer this year. Lots of wheat is
averaging from 30 to 00 bushels per
acre on summer fallow , and on new
break' ng. when the breaking was done
early in vhe spring. " Writing from
Spring Coulee , Alberta. W. L. Thomp
son says , "I had this year 3,000 acres
in crop ; viz. , 2,000 acres of wheat and
1.000 acres of oats. My average yield
of oats to the acre was 30 bushels and
of wheat 33 bushels. The value to me
per acre for wheat was $27 and for
oats $13. "
