Alfalfa, or Lucern.
Alfalfa, or lucern (Medicngo I
sntiva), has been known to the
world for more than twenty cen
turies. It is a native of Western
Asia, having been found growing
wild in the region south of the
Cacasiis mountains. The Romans
used it as forage for the horses
of their armies and it is cultivated
in Italy at the present time. It
was introduced from Italy into
France and Spain and the Span- i
birds carried it to Mexico and to '
the west coast of South America, j
It was brought from Chile to Cali
fornia in 1864 and from there it
soon spread over the arid regions
of the Pacific Const and the
Rocky Mountains.
DESCRIPTION.
It is nil upright, branching
perennial from 1 to H feet high;
specially adapted to dry climates, I
and withstands drouth much bet- j
ter than ordinary clovers. Under
favorable conditions it will live
from eight to fifteen years and
does not run out as clover does.
The leaves are slightly rounded in
outline and toothed near the apex.
The flowers are purple and do not
form a head like our clovers, but
are in long loose clusters or
racemes. These flowers are
borne all over the plant, instead
of at the top, as in the cloyers.
The seeds are found in spirally
twisted pods and are kidney
shaped, yellowish brown, and are
about ono-half larger than red
clover seed.
HABITS OF GROWTH.
Alfalfa is a deep feeder whose
toproots, if the soil is loose, pene*
trate to the depth of 10 or 12 feet,
and under especially favorable
circumstances they may go 25 feet
or more. “The young plant con
sists of a number of low branches
springing from a simple or basil
stalk at the crown of the root.
These brunches ascend directly
above ground and form a compact
tuft. On the old plant, however,
certain of the more robust stems
elongate underground and become
new branch—producing stocks.
In this way the simple stock, or
rhizome, becomes two or many
headed.”
If alfalfa is grazed very closely
the stems die down to the roots
and new buds spring up at the
crown of the roots and form new
stems. This method of growth
explains why so many farmers
have reported that it is destroyed
by continuous grazing.
It grows best in a light sandy
loaur underlaid by a loose subsoil.
If the subsoil is heavy and stiff
and impervious to water, it will
not be a success, no matter how
well the surface soil may be pre
pared. It succeeds best where the
soil is rich in lime, potash, mag
nesium and phosphoric acid.
Lime seems to be most essential
to its rapid growth. The land
must be well drained.
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.
Try to put it on land that has
had clean cultivation for a year or
two, and do not become discour
aged if you do not get the best re
sults the first year—alfalfa does
not reach maturity until the third
or fourth season. You cannot
succeed unless your land is plowed
deep. It would be much better
to subsoil. This may 'seem ex
pensive to some; but been in
mind you expect to get from two
to four cuttings each year for
from three to fifteen or twenty.
After it is plowed harrow and re-
harrow until it is in fine con
dition. More poor stands ate
attributable to porous, open,
cloddy laud than to any other
cause. The seeds sprout, the
roots start down, and soon strike
a cavity, and then of necessity
die. CiIAs. W. Davis,

Now for Independence.
In t lio meantime, brethren,
raise as much corn and feed as
many hogs as possible. It is ex-;
c°edingly gratisfying to receive
ten cents, and even twelve cents,
for cotton. SnMi a price is in
sharp contrast with the price of a
few years ago. But that is no
reason for trying to raise during
the coming season twice as much
cotton as you raised last year.
How dependable is your labor?
Have you settled all your obliga
tions at your merchants? Do
you see your way clear for carry
ing on the year’s operations withs
out running into debt? How
about your fertilizer bills? Will
your implements and machinery
do full service? Will you not be
able to do better work in the
prospect of a full corn crib and a
well stocked smokehouse? Think
of all these things when you are
. mapping out your plans for cot
ton. Make it, if possible, your
surplus crop. Don’t mind what
your neighbor does. You are to
care, primarily, for yourself and
your family.
The past twelye months have
been full of sensations, affecting
everybody in contact with cotton
from the grower of the staple to
the wearer of the finished goods.
The situation has had its ills for
many. It has aroused unusual
interest on the part of government
officials, some of whom, it is re
grettable to record, have gone be
yond the bounds of propriety in
their dealing with the question;
on the part of the manufacturers,
who naturally become apprehen
sive when the prices of the raw
material rise, and on the part of
city farmers, the speculators,
some of whom are feeling badly
because they had raised no eotton,
and had nothing to sell when the
time came to make their promis
ed deliver} 7 . Bulls and bears have
raged in the markets, and not a
few lambs, deceived by the bears,
have become mutton for the bulls.
With reason to be grateful to the
bulls, the cotton farmers have
reaped the greatest benefits. They
have attained a degree of pros
perity and independence not en
joyed by them in many, many
previous years.
Cotton-growers may remain in
dependent and increase their ad
vantage in that respect. The way
is clear. Let each individual, be
fore he arranges for his cotton
crop, see to it that provision is
made for his sufficient supply of
hog and hominy. That’s merely
an old condensation of advice that
it is cheaper in the long run to
raise your food than to buy it.—

Consumption Cured
Foley & Co., Chicago. Dana, Ind., Sept. 28, 1902.
- Gentlemen:—FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR cured me of consump
tion after I had suffered two years and was almost desperate. Three physicians
failed to give me any relief and the last one said he could do me no good. I tried
almost every medicine I heard tell of without benefit until FOLEY’S HONEY
AND TAR was recommended to fne. Its effect right from the start was magical.
I improved steadily from the first dose and am now sound and well, and think
FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR is a Gad-send to people with Throat and Lung
Trouble. Yours very truly, Mrs. Mary Ambrose.
FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR

stipate like ordinary cough medicines.
