WIDE USE OF ALFALFA
SHOWS REMARKABLE ADAPTA
BILITY TO VARIOUS CLIMATES.
Now One of Staple Forage Crops of
Old World and Ranks Among Most
Important Legumes of West
ern Hemisphere.
The original home of alfalfa appears
to have been southwest of central
Asia, but from there it has been car
ried to practically every part of the
world where agricultural pursuits are
important. It is now one of the sta
ple forage crops of every continent
of the old world and easily takes
front rank as the most important le
guminous forage crop of the western
hemisphere. The name “alfalfa” is
of Arabic origin and means “the best
fodder. ’ The southern European
name of “lucerne” was formerly ap
plied to the plant in the eastern part
of the United States and in Utah, but
this name has practically given way to
the name “alfalfa,” under which it
was introduced by the Spaniards.
The Persians were apparently the
first nation which grew this plant.
They took it with them when they in
vaded Greece about 490 B. C. The in
troduction of alfalfa into Spain was
probably during the Moorish invasion
in the eighth century A. D. The
Spaniards introduced it into Mexico
and South America during the six
teenth century. It is reported to have

been carried northward from Old Mex
ico into what is now the southern por
tion of the United States, but it was
not until 1854, when it was taken to
San Francisco from Chile, that its
rapid extension over the irrigated sec
tions of the western states com
menced. Its culture has since been
extended to many of the nonirrigated
sections of the West.
The history of alfalfa in the east
ern states runs back for at least two
centuries, as the colonists made re
peated attempts to establish it. The
attempts on the part of the Ameri
can colonists to establish it were un
successful. The limestone region of
central New York probably consti
tutes the area of its longest continued
culture in any section of the East. In
South Carolina there is a field reported
to be 75 years old. Alfalfa has also
been grown locally in most of the
eastern states for many years. The
black prairie soils of Alabama and
Mississippi are proving especially
adapted to alfalfa. The successful
districts have usually been the some
what limited area of limestone soils
where the conditions are especially
suited to the plant.
The recent efforts looking to its fur
ther extension throughout the East
and South indicate that the chances
of success increase greatly as the spe
cial requirements for its production
are understood and provided for.
So far as climate is concerned al
falfa can be grown in every state in
the Union. It is, however, very ex
acting in the humid sections as to soil
and treatment. The hardy strains are
able to withstand the severe winters
of the North Central states. It is
raised without irrigation in semi-arid
sections where the rainfall is only 14
inches a year, and also in she Gulf
states where the annual rainfall may
amount to 65 inches. A rainfall of 36
inches a year is ample for this crop,
and an amount in excess of this is
usually a detriment. In moist cli
mates the soil is frequently sour, and
the clay soils especially are apt to be
too poorly drained. In such a climate
weeds and fungus diseases prove
much more injurious than under less
humid conditions. Although the
adaptability of alfalfa is great, yet in
the areas not perfectly suited to its
successful production care is neces
sary to provide the very favorable con
ditions required by the young plants
in order to overcome the natural
drawbacks.
Millions Rust Out.
Barnyards and dooryards filled with
farm machinery, corn cultivators and
harrows stacked up against the wire
fence where last used are familiar
sights around many farms at the
present time. Here’s one of the
greatest leaks on the American farm.
Decaying Apple Trees.
The old decaying apple trees in the
orchard are veritable breeding places
for all sorts of fruit pests. Keep them
well chopped out, using them for fire
wood and replacing them with new,
healthy trees.

GARDEN FOR THE HOUSEWIFE'
Quick Growing Is Secret of Tender
Criupnesc of Salad Plants—Keep
the Soil Moist.
(By L. E. CHAPIN.)
Among less common sorts aspara
gus-beets are very desirable, as the
entire plant may be cooked for greens
when young, or the large ribs and
veins from the older leaves may bo
cooked and served as asparagus.
Brussels sprouts belong to the cab
bage family and the tiny heads that
form on the stalks are more delicate
in flavor than most cabbage.
Kohlrabi seems like a cross between
a cabbage and a turnip, but if cooked
when young and tender has a flavor
like cauliflower.
Fetticus (corn salad) may be sown
and treated the same as spinach and
furnishes one of the very early spring
salads.
Endive is another very fine salad
plant, and the seeds may be sown as
late as August for plants to use dur
ing the fall.
Dandelions, of the improved, large
leaved sorts are among the finest sal
ad plants, and if cut freely for use
there is no danger of their becoming
a nuisance.
Celeriac (turnip rooted celery) is
finer for flavoring soups than the
stalk-celery, and may be served in va
rious ways.
Leeks are as easily grown as onions
and being less in flavor are more de
sirable for some purposes.
Winter onions are very desirable
because of the fact that when once
planted they ’come up year after year
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, and are ready for use in two
or three weeks.
The Egyptian winter onion, or the
perpetual tree onion are among the
best of type because they are more
hardy than some.
Okra is less well known than It
should be. It is fine for use in soups,
stews and salads.
Most gardens have rhubarb plants,
but it is worth while to start a few
roots of the “ever-ready” sort that fur
nishes fine stalks during the entire
summer and fall, if given water during
very dry periods.
With all these (and other salad
plants), quick growing is the secret of
tender crispness and to secure it, the
soil must be rich, and have plenty of
moisture.
Catalogues and seed packets fur
nish cultural directions and are ex
plicit and easily followed.
TAKING THE HORSE’S PULSE
Valuable Means of Assistance in As
certaining the Nature and Prog
ress of Disease.
The pulse is due to an automatic ex
pansion and relaxation in the wall of
an elastic tube —the artery —caused
by the jets of blood pumped into these
vessels by means of a force pump—
the heart.
Each stroke of the heart is equal to
one pulsation, viz: a rising and falling
of the arterial wall.
In health the average number of
pulse beats per minute is about 36 to
40. The larger the horse, the slower
or fewer the number of beats per min
ute.
A very good situation to take the
pulse is at the underside of the jaw.
By rolling the tips of the fingers about
a little they can be brought on to the
blood vessel.
Don’t press too firmly, nor yet too
lightly. The animal must be kept still
and quiet. In point of Importance, the
“character” of the pulse must be the
best guide. That is to say, the blood
vessel may impress us as feeling hard,
soft, full, quick, small, wiry, regular
or irregular.
In pulmonary apoplexy It may be
beating 120 times per minute.
When properly taken it forms a
valuable means of assistance in ascer
taining the nature and progress of
disease.
WAGON SHED IS CONVENIENT

All farm buildings should be con

through the shed and the wagons left
standing in their proper places. No
time and labor are consumed in pull
ing or pushing the wagons into place.
Extra Early Vegetables.
Beans, beets, cucumbers, lettuce,
radishes: Start in window garden and
transplant outdoors.
Peas and corn: “Sprouts” in moist
sand in the cellar and sprinkle in the
rows, being careful not to break the
shoots.
Tomatoes: Start in the house in
February and keep potted till the end
of May.
Hold the Moisture.
Get busy now with the surface cul
tivation. Do not plow deep this late.
Keep the surface stirred and hold
that moisture for the crops.
