ALFALFAIAFOBARE PLANT

CLOVER TO ME FARMER.
Plow to Blunt, Howe() Cultivate, 001V 10
Harvest and How to eeefi st-Peatuable
linforniatlon, tor tete Farmer,
The extent to which alfalfa, lueern, or
elhilian elovete is now being grawn is trill)/
vvoriderful, seeing the twenty years ago
this valuable fodder plant was scarcely
known,
The United States .Agricultural Depart.
lnent recently published in its "Farmers'
Bulletin" aeries an exceedingly vainable
and inattinative paper on the cultivation of
alfalfa, from which ib is learned that the
plant io now quite eXteneively grown• in
every part of the United States. It does
well in the Eastern States but thrives
much better in the Wt and Southwest.
The great e.dvautages of alfalfa as a
fodder plant are tiumerous. It is good for
two or even three crops of hay in a season.
It is highly nutritious tor stock, both in
pasture aed as hay. It stands any climate
and can be grown on almost any soil below
7000 feet above sea level.
Alfalfa cloesneit not seem to be influenced
so much by altitude as by Such conditions
as the depth and warmth of the soil, the
depth of the ground water below the sur-
face, and the physical character of the
subsoil, It grows best in a light and sandy
rich loam underlaid by a loose and per-
meable subsoil. The beat conditions for
the growth of this plant seem to be attained
in the arid regions of the West and South-
-west, where there is light rainfall, and the
water supply mu accordingly, be artificially
controlled. The plant grows best ueder
irrigation. Good drainage is necessary, as
the plants are quickly killed by excess of
water in the soil or on the surface. Water
meet never be allowed to stand on a field of
alfalfa more than forty-eight hours at El
time, for, if the ground becomes :saturated
with water and is allowed to remelt: so for
any considerable lengthof time, the plants
will be drowned out and the roots will
decay. Alfalfa will not thrive on fields
where there is any excess of iron in the
soil. it feeds most beavily on lime,potash,
magnesium and phosphoric acid, and suc•
ceede eoest where the soil is rich in these
eleme , es Of these soil constituents, lime

growte e' and there will not be a large or
paying crop on soils lacking this fertilizer.
The prime condition for success is that the
land be well drained. If the subsoil is
heavy and stiff and impervious to water,
alfalfa will not be a permanent success, no
matter how well the surfam soil has been
p
repe.red.
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.
The ground must te thoroughly subsoile
The best results from this °repave obtained
•
fter the second year, because alfalfa doe
ot reach maturity until the third or fourth,
etison. Hence the field eeleated.should b
one that can be kept in alfalfa for a numbe
f years. The first cost. of a deep an
thorough preparation of the soil may see
large, but it must be remembered that the
armee expects to take two or more cutting
off the land eaoh year for from three t
thirty years. • September and February ar
the two mouths which have been foun
best for the sowing of alfalfa. The see
should be drilled in rows of le inches to
feet apart, at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds o
seed per acre. The stand must be title
enough to enable the crop to hold its ow
against the weeds. If the drill rows ar
kept clean and the soil is kept •mellow b
frequent stirrings, the alfalfa will have n
difficulty in holding its own,and if out ofte
and not allowed to got° seed, it willewhe
once established, cover the field and kee
ahead of the weeds.
As soon as the alfalfa is from 12 to 1
incluse high the first crop can be moved,an
from that time it oan be out as often as i
grows high enough. It is very importan
that the plants get a good footing and
develop good root systems the first season
Alfalfa, when fully established, yields a
much as 6, 8, 10, 12,and sometimes 16 tons
of dry hay per acre per annum. The rich
and °leaner the laud, and the more thor
oughly the soil has been prepared before
sowing the seed, the larger will be the net
profit from each acre.
e_ This forage plant responds quickly to
manuring, but barnyard manure should
not be employed the first year, unless Well
rotted, because of the weed seeds, which
are auto 10 accompapy it.
THE VALUE UF ALFALFA HAY.
There is no better hay plant than alfalfa
to regions where it will grow. The mak-
iug of hay requires considerable skill on
account of the nature of the plant. If the
hay is put into melee or into barns before
the stems are cured, it is liable to heat
and mold, end if it is allowed to lie on the
ground too long before stacking, the leeves
get dry and brittle and will drop ciff, and
a large share of the most valuable Fart of
the forage will be lost. To make the best
hay the field should be cut just when the
first flowers commence to appear. If
allowed to go until in full bloom, or until
after the plants have finished flowering
the stems becbine hard and woody, and are
unfit to be eaten by stock. To make good
hay, out alfaita in the forenoon, Let it
lie in thesweahuntil the leavesare thorough.
ly svilted,but not dry andlerittle ; then rake
in windrows and leave it awhile,,and re-
move it from the windrowe directly to the
stack or to the barns. Handle it as little
as possitle, for, with each handling, more
leaves are separated, and the leaves are the
most nutritious part c,f the plant.
Alfalfa hes/ that has been properly cured
is worth as much, weight for weight, us
eny other, and is eaten by all kinds of
farm animals, It must be remembered,
however that it is not in itself a oomplete
ration. 'It is very rich in protein that

HOTEL SUFFOCATED.

The Betel But tett.
A despatch from Hamilton says:—One of
the worst fires that has occurred in Handl-
ton for an age took place at midnight on
Tuesday in the Queen's Hotel corner o!
Stuart and Bay steets. The fire alarm
sounded shortly before .12 o'clock, end the
firemen were promptly on the spot and
water was timed on the basement and
lower storey, while the balance of ethe bri-
gade turned their ettention to getting the
family and help the guests out of the
building. Proprietor Antony Koch WWI
ameng the first to shout to the fireman
"Save my family," and then returned into
the upper hallways, which was the last
seen of him till carried out apparently
suffocated by the smoke. •Medical aid was
procured, and everythingpossible was done
to bring him to life, but without avail.
The first inmates that were brought out by
the brigade were Louise Curran, a servant,
and Toney Koch, the latter aged six,
end naked. They were taken down
from the front of the building tuid laid out
on the •etretcher. where willing hands did
everything possible to bring life to them.
The following were rescued in an unconsci-
ous condition :—Hattie Koch, aged about
10 ; Bernie, aged four, and Mrs. Koch,with
a babe in her arms. Mrs. Koch and the
babe were rescued througfi a roof window
and brought to the street. Mrs. Andrews,
a guest, was the next to be brought me and
laid on the street on mattresses, making in
all seven persons in charge of the medical
etaff. Drs. Wolverton and Balf and friends
aseembled. Mrs. Keen and the baba were
taken to a neighbor's house. The others
were laid out on the mattresses and side.
walks in an unconscious state.
MR. SOON'S DEATH.
Shortly after 1 o'clock the doctors gave
up all hope of saving the life of Mr. Koch:
Ti10 others named at 1.30 were apparently
recovering, although not conscious, with
the exception of Mrs. Koch and the servant,
Louise Curran, who were out of danger.
The fire was got under controethe building
being pretty well gutted. The brigade had
their effieieney well tested, as they had so
many lives to rescue, and aleo to do battle
with the flames in a break veneered building,
The house was well filled with guests, all
getting out sedely, as Mr. Koch had sound-
ed the alarm in the hallways while trying
to get his family out. The guests will lose
nearly all their effects, some reaching, the
streets'in their night attire. The fatality
has cast a gloom over the district of the
Grand Trunk station, near which the hotel
is located. A large crowd assembled at
the scene, notwithstanding the late hour.
The loss is believed to be covered by insur-
ance.
England's National Debt. •
A parliamentary return on the subject Of
England's national debt was recently issued,
and the following summary of it given in
the London Speculator is ot intereet:—" The
gross liabilities of the nation for the year
whioh ended on March 31, 1894, were
£669,104,024, and these were reduced in
the succeeding twelve months by £8,943,
417, so that on March 31, 1895, the
liabilities stood at £660,160,907. In 1836
the gross liabilitos of the nation were
£853,473,597. Tee expenditure charged
against the public revenue on account of
the national debt, including both interest
and repayment of capitel,has been reduced
from 428,666,353 in 1836 to £24,977,912 in
.1895. Over £6,000,000 goes every year to
redeem'capital. Another fact remains to
be noticed. The nation possesses in the
Suez canal shares a saleeble, asset valued
at £24,000,000. The net liabilities of the
State are, therefore, reduced by this
amount." As compared with the showing
made by the United States Treasury
returns, England's is highly satisfactory.
In the first ten days of September Uncle
,Sam had an average daily deficit of
$69,824, and in the fleet ten days of Oct-
ober, 'teeth heevier payments on account of
interest, pensions, etc., the daily deficit
reached $823,926. -

this is the worst thing he pan do. The
potato under such oonditions, rots almost
as readily when bruised as an apple," says
the American Cultivator, "By the time
cooler weather has come the skin, even of
blighted potatoes, will be hardened,so that
they will not bruise much while being dug.
Then when they ere taken out they should
be put in heaps and covered lightly with
grain straw, using at first no earth over it.
The object is te oontidue the drying

recant, and the lime, by absorbing the
esteem of moisture in the potato, kills the
fungus that oauses the rot. Some gooi
formers we know believe that the carhouio
acid gas which the slaking lime develops,
will destroy the rot in any stage, even after
it has attacked the potato. We have'
frequently seen potatoes which have been
limed that were rotten on one end, while
the rot had dried up and ceased to spread.
When covering potatoes against freezing,
care should be taken to give some ventila-
tion. This is necessary even in cold
weather, though it is impertant to take
care that frost does not get in through the
wisps of stravileft at the top of the heap.
No attempt should be made to sell potatoes
affected by rot until they have dried out,
so that the elan does not slip easily when
they are handled. It will be necessary to
open the pits frequently and examine the
potatoes to see tvhether the roe is spreading.
A dry day should be taken for this, and all
the better if sunshiny. This extra handling
adds to the expense, but it is not all loss,
as it is a help to quicker drying than if the
pit wan covered and nothing thereafter
done to it. Few farmers now use eota.to
tops as covering for potato heaps even in
the field. They are the most convenient
oovering,but in any crop there must always
be a suspicion that the potato tops have
been affected by rot. It always attaoks
the tops first. If there is any rot on
the Misers, however slight, it is sure to be
greatly aggravated by covering them with
potato tops that have the disease fastened
on them. Most of the severe losses of
potatoes after digging come from using
potato tops to cover the heaps with. in
harvestingtime all the potato grower's sins
of neglect in cultivation corre home to him
with severest emphasis. Weeds are a great
nuisance indigging,asidefrom the certainty
that their presence has lessened the yield.
Few of these labor-saving implements in
potato harvesting can be made to do good
work in Ft weedy field. Even if they get
the potatoes out' of the ground, it is an
extra expense to pick them up among a lot
of weeds. • A good farmer once remarked
to us that saving labor in cultivating the
potato crop made so much extra labor in
harvesting it, that it cost nearly as much
per acre, and more per busheethan a clean,
well -cultivated crop. If the potatoes are
well down in the ground, it is sometimes
well to leave them until there has been a
black frost to freeze an inch or so of sur-
face soil before digging them. But it is
better to dig them before wet weather has
carried the rot spores down to the tubers.
The potato harvested in dry weather only
needs to be kept cool, and ehe rot will not
touch it. When the potatoes are taken in
wet it takes more time to dry them out
They are besides a very difficult crop to
dispose of, as the handling of wet potatoes
mixed with muddy mil and probably full of
the germs of rot, is a disagreable sob that
nobody likes to undertake."
Picking Apples.
Gather when the pips turn to a brownie
color, and the fruit parts easily from the
twig when turned to one side. As the fruit
is gathered it should he laid lightly, not
dropped, into a basketo.nd be just as care-
fully removed from the basket to the store
room. A blow or knock will cause a bruise
which will be succeeded by rot: Store on
straw on a dry Isar. A bed of three inches
of straw will suffice. Lay the fruit quite
thinly at first and add anoteer course when
the first sweating is passed ; later on the
apples may lie three or four thick-. When
sharp frost threatens cover up the fruit
with straw, bags,or something of that kind
to protect it.
Effect of Cabbage on Butter.
A bulletin of the Iowa Station tells of an
experiment with cabbage for mach cows :
From November 23 to November 27 the
effects qf cabbage is shown from the
analysis: fourteen of the cows show higher
per cents of butter fat; six show slightly
lower per cents. The milk table shows
increase in the quantity. The cabbage is
palatable and readily eaten. Its effeot
upon the quality of butter is the point
inquired into here, more especially; but it
is noticeable that the ohange from a dry
ration to one mere aueoulent gave more
milk without deereasing the fat per cont.
By comparing the amounts of milk given
daily by the twenty eows November 15,
with the amoents given towards the clog°
of the ninety-seven days, it will be seen
that the velem of milk held tip quite well

* A FRENCH INCIDENT.
A. Bridegroom Legally a Corpse, But Dineb
In a French country town, a day or two
ago, a wedding between a young girl and a
widower was arranged, the guests had as.
sembled, the favors had been distributed
and the bride was dressed. Nothing Wag
wanting to complete the preparations and
the couple were starting with their relation
to the Mairiewhen,in a fever of excitement
an official rushed in, crying, "Yon can't
get married 1" "Why not?" asked the
bridegroom, amazed.. "Because you are a
corpse." "A corpse," repeated the bride.
groom. " ra show you whether I'm a
corpse. tam a living man." "He is a
living man," cried all the aunts and cous•
ine.
The official, recovering his breath and
self posseseion,handed a paper to the bride-
groom. "There," he said,"that certificate
states that you are dead, and, being
deceased, of course you have not any civil
rights." The widower examined the docu-
ment, and then exclaimed • "I see. When
my first wife died they thought it was I,
and entered my name in the death register
instead of her. Well, what shall we do ?"
"Get married, of course," said the bride,
promptly. "Send anhave the error
corrected, stupid." " And so I will, re.
plied her future husband, "and while we
are waiting we may as well haore the wed-
ding breakfast."

A despatch from San Francisco says :
—John W. Mackay, jr., was killed in
Paris on Friday byebeing thrown from his
.hoi se. He was the eldest son of the bon-
anza millionaire, John W. Mackay, He
was atiout 25 years of age, and was bora in
this city. He and Clarence,aged about 23,
were the only children of the millionaire,
thePrincess Colonna being a step -daughter.
For the past six mouths the young man
who met his sudden death on Friday and
his brother have been spending their vaca-
tion in Europeepartly with their mother,
partly with their step -sister, the Princess
Colonna, and at the time of the fatality the
two brothers and the Princess were togeth-
er in Paris. Mr. Mackay, senior, is in this
city, and received only a brief cablegram
announcing the accident and death. The
alerts to obtain furth.er particulars were
fruitless. Mr. Mackay is overcome with
grief.
