Alfalfa is ! the most valuable for ags plant known to the agricultu ral world* on account of ; its high percentage in protein, which makes it a balance ration in itself. Ds prolific production 1 , its ability to fertilize the soil, with the nitroge nous elements of the atmosphere its adaptability to all climates,-and its longevity of life, A s proven by chemical analysis and practical I practice*, one ton ofi Alfalfa, as fed for stock, ■ is worth two tons of timothy; two tons of alfalfa is worth three tons of clover. Where | the land is naturally adapted to its growth, and the rainfall is as great as in* Mississippi, -soil that will produce two ; tons 1 oU clover, one ; and one half tons cf timothy, will produce from fouT tons of ; alfalfa.* The commercial value of alfalfa hay ranks first, selling for more money in all markets where it has been introduced, than timo thy or clover. My entire crop for this season was sold to. one firm early in the spring, on future de livery, at $17,00 per ton, f. o. b. West Loijit, they to take all grades of bay. Hp to July 1, I had saved i three cuttings, making three tons per acre; the crops for July and August had been very short on account of the extreme dry weath er. I will get one ton more through the months of September and October, giving lour tons for the season,.which.* is one ton less than an average crop. The value of-alfalfa as aU'ertilizer is* wonder ful, Land on my farm, where a1 - ; falfa has grown for three years, has increased the yield of corn from foity to seventy-five, and as high .as • eighty bushels per acre. Its effect on cotton land is equally as good. The commercial value of nitrogen, phosphorus and ‘ potash contained in one ton of well pre served stable manure is worth $3.50. The commercial value of these elements contained in one ton ot alfalfa hay is $9.40. So if in growing’ alfalfa for hay, you should have dome of it injured by the rain, it is w’orth fo you as a fertilizer, no matter what crop you tare growing, $9.40. If you wish *to grow an orchard, and your land is naturally adapted to grow alfalfa *the best way to secure quick growth, large and healthy trees, is jby first Sowing alfalfa, let it rt main for two years, save the hay; in the fall of the second year, plow it se\eral inches deep, he sure to destroy the alfalfa, old alfalfa plant will kill young fruit tree* 1 . Plant your trees, you will find the result will pay you tor the troub e. The alfalfa roots will open up the soil .Several feet deep, will give it good sub-drainage, and leave the land abundantly supplied with nitro gen. .. ; i In seeming a stand of alfalfa, s’ou will find the best plan to sow early, in March, break the soildeep, liariow until you haven fine Seed bed, sow Unity pounds of seed per acre. Use the Ingate wagon seeder; get one highly geared; the seed are heavy and man be sown with this machine during the windy days in *iMarch. It will sow from thirty to forty acres per day. Be Mire and harrow the land just be fore seed ng. Then : be sine t ha now it well after seeding. Whi-, will cover the seed. They vvil come through one inch of soil, if the seed are not well covered, > and it should, rain bright after seeding then a dry windy day, the seed on top will not catch and your stand will be poor. gra. sand weeds w:l get possession; what you have will die, and you pwill pronounce it u failure. Be sure and sow enougi seed so they will give alfalfa pos session of the land from the start. It will grow fast and choke 01* gras3 and v. e ds, until hj cut it the first time, which will b some-timo’in July. ’As soon as iU is cut, -harrow thoroughly with 1 iron tooth harrow, set the teeil. straight, and, if necessary, weigh it mu it w ill (ehr up the surfac..

It is a good renovator? for plowed lands and will pay any farmer to use one. Soils naturally adapted | to alfalta are abundantly supplied with alkali. Soil that has enough acid in it during any:season of the year to? turn blue litmus paper pink in thirty six hours ‘Will not I grow alfalfa, until you put enough | lime or other'alkalies on : -the soil |to neutralize the acid. The, acid destroys the bacteria necessary to the life of the •plant. ; • t The black prairie regions of Illi nois, the best corn land in the world, a*re low in . alkali. At the ; Illinois Experiment Station, ij was found that to grow tfffalfa success fully on this prairie haul, it re quired three tons of ground lime stone per acre to neutralize the acid and it is necessary to make this application every two or thre ypars. Before planting alfalfa •test your soil, during a rainy sea son in warm weather*or take the dry soil, mix it with water into a thin mud, let it remain in this con dition for two days, then put a piece of blue litmus paper in it; let it remain far thirty-six hours. k lf it turns pink, there is no use to sowt alfalfa* until you have applied ■ enough alkali . to neutralize the •acid. If the.-paper holds its color your land will grow it successfully. ilf the land is low in nitrogen, give it a good application of stable ma nure, this will give the plants a thrifty growth- for the first year. After that it will take care of it self. Prairie lands in Mast Miss issippi are naturally- supplied with alfalfa bacteria, it was not nerg-- : sary lor me to inoculate. If your lands are void of this gnrin, tiseTi -soii from an old alfaifaifield to in ■ oeqlate with.

One hundred pounds of inoculated .soil horn an old field of alfalfa can he had for the expense of packing and transportation. , This amout •of soil, well spread over one acre will inoculate it thoroughly. With lone-acre cf. inoculated soil you can furnish bacteria tor your neigh, borhood. When your alfalfa field is used for meadow, ii should never be pastured, as the stock will tramp the ground, intake the ground hard stunt the growth and injure th stand Asa meadow, it means six months hard work. After the first freeze, you can lock your gates and rest until it conies the begin* ning of spring, (hit it when the bloom gives the field a blue cast; it will cure rn less time than red clover as the foliage an 1 stems am* not so large and full of sap. If you want it for pasture, it, wil . V.e 3 r ou more feed the year round thaft'any other grass, and keep your slock in fine condition. From my five years experience, r< salt verm it my advising all farmer where the land is well dmined an i notsubj** l l to overflow, to try .1- falfef.
