Smith, and from it were condensed the following: Alfalfa seed weighs sixty pounds to the bushel. For a hay crop sow twenty-four to thirty pounds of seed per acre. For a crop of seed sow fourteen to eighteen pounds per acre. Sow clean seed. North of the latitude of Washing ton, D. C., sow alfalfa in the spring as soon as the ground is warm-from the middle of April to the middle of May. Sow in drills or broadcast. In the south and southwest and in California sow alfalfa in spring or au tumn. Sow in duills. In the south sow in drills sixteen to twenty iiclhes apart and cultivate the first seaon. Do not cover the seed too deep. Alfalfa does not obtain maturity until the third or fourth year, there fore do not sow it expecting to get the best results in less than that time. Alfalfa grows best on a deep, sandy loam, underlaid by a loose and per meable subsoil. It will not grow if there is an excess of water in the soil. The land must be well drained. Alfalfa is a deep feeder. Plow the land thoroughly; the deeper the bet ter. Alfalfa thrives best in the soils containing lime, potash and ma gnesium. It does not grow well in soils containing an excess of iron, or where lime is wholly absent. Cut for hay when the first flowers appear. If cut in full bloom the hay will he woody and less nutritious. Cut for seed when the middle clusters of ped po4s are a dark brown. To make altalfa asy cut in the forenoon and let it wilt; then rake into windrows. It should be cured in windrows and cocks, and stacked or put in barns with as little handling as possible. Great care is required in order to get it in stack before the leaves become too dry and brittle. The leaves are the most palatable and nutritious part of the hay. Cover the stacks with craps. This will prevent loss by molding when it rains. In the arid regions, where irriga tion is practiced, put water on the field before sowing the seed, and im mediately after cutting each crop of hay. It is not safe to pasture either cattle or sheep on alfalfa, as they are liable to bloat when it is fed green. Feed them the hay, or practice soil ing. There is no better or cheaper way of growing hogs than to pasture them on alfalfa. One acre will furnish pasturage for from ten to twenty hogs'per season. Horses can be partured on alfalfa. There is no better hoy for work ani imals, or for young. growing stock. ---- --- ---- -- THE BLUFF IWILL BE CALLED. The disreputable combine ef fected between the christian swam per, Pharr, and the jail bird and all around crook, O'Malley, having been ignominiously repudiated by the intelligence and respectability of Louisiana the organ and followers of the combine are now engaged in a desperate game of bluff, and are declaring that their candidate has been counted out and that force will be resorted to in order to seat the defeated candidate next month. While it has been demonstrated that Foster has been elected by 27,000 majority in spite of the fact that with few exceptions the ne groes voted solidly for Pharr, to gether with every old back number office chaser in the State, yet the combine fuglemen and tin horn tooters' with one accord maintain that -'the people" will be in Baton Rouge in force in order to see that Pharr is inaugurated on the 18th of May. To judge from the incendiary and bloodthirsty utterences of the blackmailing organ of the combine Demas, Wormoth, Cage, Blount, O'Malley, Puckett, and the Whole brood of black-and-tan harpies who have followed the waning fortunes of the combine during the past cam paign will make a decent upon the capitol at the opening of the legisla ture, and with shotguns in their hands they propose to shoot down the representatives of the law, to trample upon the liberties of the people and install Pharr at any cost. It is perfectly natural that Domi. nick O'Malley and Henry Clay Warmoth, seeing their utter dis comfiture in this campaign, would be entirely willing to work their de luded victims up to the point of at tempting to override the laws of Louisiana and forcibly seating in the governor's chair a man who has been overwhelmingly repudiated by the people. These wily tricksters imagine that they have everything to gain by such an attempt, while if the effort should fail, as it surely must, the poor dupes who may be come the victims of their cupidity will alone be the ones to suffer, while Warmoth and O'Malley will take care that they do not come near harm's way. If they are calculating upon any thing of this sort, however, we de sire to say to them once and for all that they are reasoning entirely without their host. If thosh corrupt scoundrels for a `moment imagine tthat they may with impunity work a few ignorant and deluded people up to the point of precipitating this State into the throes of a citvl w*a in order to carry out their infamoOu schemes of plunder and spoliatiop we serve notice upon theta that they are making a fatal mistake. The white democrats of Louisian't have elected Foster as the governor of this State, and they have no feat of their ability to inaugurate him at the proper time. They inaugurated Nichols with shotguns in their hands in 1876 and, while they prefer a peaceable and orderly inauguration of Foster in 1896, if shotguns arn necessary to accomplish this thef will be forthcoming; let there be nd mistake on that point. Furthermore, if an armed rcondicu is precipitated upon the people of this State and blood .does flow and human life be lost as a result; the people will know where to locat6 the blame. If compelled to main= tain their government at' the mua zleof the shotgun and the Win chester they will deal as leniently at possible with the deluded people who have been duped, but woe bt unto O'Malley and Warmoth, and the rest of the villains w~0d hope ti escape by remaining behind th6 sces! We pray God that out State may be spared such a scene; but if it be forced upon us and w& are driven to the necessity of rmeet ing force With force, then let a cieat! sweep be made once and for all.
