ALFALFA AS A SOILING CROP
Few Rations for All Kinds of Farm
Animals That Cannot Be lm-
by Addition of Haw.
!. T. IfstEIJLB .
Oa moat farms where out u.
acres of alfalfa can be grown success
fully. I think the most w ill bo realized
from it. to cut ths crop green and us:'
it for green feeding. It is tho brst
soiling crop that we can grow for ali
kinds of farm .iniaiaU. There are
few rations that caauot be improved
both In economy auj eltlcieney by tho
addition of o'falfa.
V.heu uuirg it for Eoiliag purposeu
there la danger in feeding it to hungry
sheep and cuttle unless fed iu moder
ate quantities after it has wilted. In
my own practice I have found it safj
to allow it to becuiuo willed before
feeding it to the fclioep and cattle in
the yards and etablcs.
In this way wa can now mow
enough to I.i-'t two or three days at a
time and baul it to the various find
ing places for use when it is needed.
It will keep in excellent condition if
placed in cocks as eoos as it is wilted
and covered w Itu cloth or canvas cov
ers. Ia this way it escapes dry ing to
brlttleness end fetlll keeps in ideal con
dition for feeding.
There is Co danger in feeding wilted
alfalfa to cheep and cattle that have
become grcuually accustomed to eat
ing it Many feeders give it to their
work teanr.a, bet it requires the b28t
of judgment to keep work teams in
good vigorous condition aud every
change in the line of feeding should
'be gradual. -
It is a j-'.od plan to cut and cure
the first cutting for hay and then de
pend upon the later cuttings to sup
plement thi pasture. A few acres
of this valuable fcrago crcp should
be established on every stock farm.
WAY FOR STRETCHING WIRE
By Use of Wagon and Piece of Tim
ber Hundrrd Yards May Be Tight
ened With One Pull.
To stretch a wire, back the wagon
up to within a few feet of the comer
poet so that the inside of the wheel
is in line with the fence. liaise that
side of the wagon so tho wheel will
clear the ground and prop it up with
a board. 1 hen take a 2x4 about seven
feet long, L: i place ono end against
the axle and the ether on the ground,
says the Iowa Homestead. After this
is done tie a strong rope to one spoke,
inside the wheel, then to the wire

wrapping around the hub tightening
the wire. When you think the wire
Is tight enough place a piece of board
between tho spoke and bottom of tho
wagon box as shown in the illustra
tion. This will k?ep the wire from
slacking. From 80 to 100 rods of wire
can be tightened in this way in one
pull

CUTTING BACK FRUIT TREES

A great many factors enter into the
determination of just how a tree '
tdiould bo cut back, lu this :.u!cle,

best to cut the entire top oft about

which come out below- this point.
Peach trees can stand more severe
pruning than either cherry or apple.
reach trees should generally be cut
off about IS inches from the ground,
and if there are any branches below
that point they should be cut back to
the first or second bud. Cherries or
plums need practically no pruning ex
cept to cut the brauchca off a foot or
so from the trunk.
VINE CUHINGS FOR SPRING
Should Be Kept Moist Until Rooted,
and Then Given Frequent Culti
vation Hoe Often.
Currant and grape cuttings, planted
in beds in early spring, are mulched
in late summer, preferably with saw
dust or tan bark, and kept moist until
the cuttings are rooted. Later on tho
propagating bed is given frequent
aud shallow cultivation. Hoeing is fre
quently done between the rows of
plants, which are 18 inches apart.
This keeps fresh soil around them,
keeps down the weeds and water is
given when the soil 13 very dry.
A propagating bed for strawberry
plants also needs some attention. Tho
weeds must bo kept out It is best
to cut off the late runners, as the early
ones make the strongest plants. If
several varieties are in the bed Bet
up beards between each to prevent
them running together, and be sure to
label each division with the name of
the variety.
