SUCCESS OF ALFALFA
f President Andrew M. Soule, 8 Ute Cottage of Agriculture.
A yield of practically 6 1-2 tons per
acre of cured alfalfa hay was obtain
ed from the first year’s cuttings at
the College of Agriculture in 1913.
The most striking lesson of the ex
periments was the advantage of inoc
ulating. Each of the five cuttings was
carefully weighed from both the in
oculated and the uninoculated. The
first cutting was made April 30. The
inoculated tract produced 1.68 tons per
acre and the uninoculated .48 tons per
acre. On June 14 a second cutting
w r as made. The inoculated produced
1.19 tons per acre and the uninocu
lated .53 of a ton per acre. The third
cutting was made on July 17 when
1.30 tons per acre w’as cut on the
Inoculated and .72 of a ton on the
uninoculated. On August 29, the
fourth cutting was made, the inoculat
ed part yielding 1.45 tons per acre
and the uninoculated .99 of a ton per
acre. The fifth and last cutting was
made October 3, when the inoculated

AROUSING TO NECESSITY OF RAISING COLTS.
M. P. Jarnagin, Professor of Animal Husbandry.
One of the most recent and praise
worthy movements toward colt-rais
ing in Georgia, is that which was
taken in Tattnall county, where two
carloads of Percheron mares were or
dered jointly by farmers and where
pure-bred stallions of the same breed
are to be introduced. The farmers
of the county received the encourage
ment and backing of the bankers of
the county. The College of Agricul
ture gave encouragement and assist
ance, and offered to send a representa
tive to the market and see that good
animals were obtained without charg
ing a fee. This offer was accepted.
Following Tattnall county’s lead
and in consequence of the publicity
which that county obtained as a re
sult of its forward movement, inqui
ries have come from a number of coun
ties in the state, asking assistance
in the same direction. The authori
ties of the College are willing to aid
in every way they can all worthy

produced .86 of a ton per acre. Thus
it will be seen that the inoculated pro
duced at the rate of 6.48 tons per acre
and the uninoculated 3.44 tons per
acre.
It has been apparent that the Inoc
ualtion has been spreading from where
It was applied to the uninoculated, per
haps by means of drainage. It grad
ually progressed from the Inoculated
territory across the plat, making a
marked change as it progressed. In
those corners to which the inocula
tion did not spread, the alfalfa has
died down.
The alfalfa patch is on fertile land,
which had been green manured and
clean cultivated before being seeded
to alfalfa. The season was favora
ble.
New areas have been seeded to al
falfa, and other experiments are be
ing carried on, results from which can
not be declared with certainty from
only one year’s growth.

The experience of the College with
Percheron mares has been highly sat

have been used on the fa rm have done
their share of W'ork along wifii big

’When the Artist Asked For Dry Bread
He Found It.
AN artist making a sketching tour
through Khode Island chanced
one day upon a picturesque old
barn so alluring to his eye that he sat
down on a stoue wall and immediate
ly set to work.
He soon became aware that he had
two spectators in the persons of the
fanner and bis wife, who bad come to
watch him.
Presently the artist discovered that
he had lost his rubber eraser, and.
wishing to correct an error in the
sketch, be went up to the farmer’s
wife and asked her if he might have a
piece of dry bread. This, as is uni
versally known, makes a good eraser.
The farmer’s wife looked at him with
an expression of pity not unmixed with
surprise.
“Dry bread! - ’ she repeated. “Well, I
gm*ss you won’t have to put up with
dry bread from me. young man. I’ve
got sons of my own out in the world.
You come right into the kitchen witli
me. and I’ll give vou a nice slice of
fresh bread with butter on it. No. not
a word,” she continued, raising her
hand to ward off his expostulations.
“I don’t care bow you came to this
state nor anything about it. All I
know is you're buugry. and I’ve never
yet allowed anybody to leave my house
craving food.”—Lippincott’s.
The Opening.
An air of assurance distinguished the
jaunty young man who had appeared
in answer to an advertisement for a
clerk. but his manner did not com
mend him to the leather merchant.
"Is there a good opening here for a
young man who keeps ids wits about
him and does not care to begin at the
bottom of the ladder?" asked the ap
plicant before the merchant had an
opportunity to speak.
“Yes,” he replied after a comprehen
sive survey of his jaunty visitor,
‘‘there is. A thoughtful carpenter,
foreseeing the appearance of just such
a young man, provided a good opening
in the middle of that left hand wall.
Kindly make use of it.”—Philadelphia
