An article coming under my observa tion is one entitled "Typjs of Plows , " accomimniiHl by u cut of a ( Jet-man wheel plow. Why a man should run a clumsy , lumbering construction akin tea a self binder for breaking up lucern when our common hand plow will an swer the purpose is beyond me. 1 fail to sec where the writer's concep tion of a German wheel plow of the 1S70 type is much in advance of Mr. Wing's idea of a French plow in the twentieth century. A farmer's time is too precious and capable architects are too few and too expensive in this coun try to make a plow of such design ot any practifal value to its owner. We have here in Utah thousands of acres of alfalfa as luxuriant and CONCAVED PLOWSHAllE. thrifty as any in the world , some of which is broken every spring. Farm ers would find this a very great task indeed if they found it necessary to employ any such cumbersome devices as the one accompanying the article in question. We use common walking plow , with a wheel or shoe under the end of the beam and a straight or slant ing "cutter. The secret of the whole problem lies in the fact that the plow share from A to B along the dotted line D is concaved so that the plow rests upon the curved portion and the point C is at least a half an inch above the level or a half an inch higher than the point A or the point B. The share should be new or' com paratively so in order to give room for the concave surface. Any village blacksmith can fix the share. It would be advisable not to temper the share , as it is necessary to tile it every few rounds when plowing old alfalfa. Any team worthy of the name can pull the plow with as little effort as is requir ed when plowing stubble. We do not plow alfalfa more than three inches deep , .because after that depth the deeper one plows the harder the alfalfa is to kill. The depth is regulated by the Avheel under the beam , and any bpy who can plow stubble can easily enough handle the plow in alfalfa. When the ploAV is thus fixed for plowing alfalfa , however , one can not plow grain stubble with it. For this purpose the share would have to be made into its original shape , or , TJNDEK SIDE OF PLOWSHARE. * better still , if one has a great deal of alfalfa breaking to do. use another share , using the especially prepared one for the purpose of breaking up lu cern only , concludes A. J. Syudcrgaard iu Breeder's Gazette , Chicago. Quality In Seeds. As the result of tets of alfalfa , red clover and grass seeds secured in the open market Chief Galloway of the bureau ot" plants industry makes a re port that is certainly of interest to farmers. Red Clover. Of the 1.217 samples of red clover seed secured 40,1. or one-third , contained seed of dodder. 424 contain ed traces of yellow trefoil seed , and 133 bore evidence of having originated in Chile. Alfalfa. Of the 390 samples of alfal fa seed secured 193 , or about one-half , contained seed of dodder. 133 contained a trace of yellow trefoil seed , 120 con tained a trace of sweet clover seed , and 1C contained a trace of bur clover seed. Bromus Inermis. Of the 33 samples of Bromus inermis seed obtained 33 contained seed of cheat , or chess , 23 contained from 2 to 3 per cent of seed of the wheat grasses , several con tained seed of meadow fescue , and one contained more than 24 per cent of meadow fescue and rye grass seed to gether. Kentucky Blue Grass.-Of the 429 samples of Kentucky blue grass seed obtained only S were found to be free from any trace of Canada blue grass. In most of these samples the trace of Canada blue grass found was immature seed , showing that it was harvested with the Kentucky blue grass seed. The seeds of the two plants not tipening at the same time , it is improbable that mature seed of Canada blue grass would be harvested with Kentucky blue grass seed. In 110 samples , how- j 2ver. Canada blue grass seed was found 1 in quantities exceeding 3 per cent. 32 [ 3f these being Canada blue grass seed ! [ uisbranded as Kentucky blue grass J seed. Where Hogs Follow Cattle. Even if in addition to corn other concentrates richer in protein and ash t Lhan is corn are fed to steers , tht ? com in tbo droppings is much more readily found , and the benefit derived by the iog from the feeds other than corn is * lot very great , although it is believed .luit some benefit may be derived.
