PLOW FOR ALFALFA.
Ut h Farmers' Adaptation of the Com
mon Walking Plow.
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.
