Post publishes it in full:—
Why Grow Alfalfa
Because it can be grown over the
widest range of soil and climate con-
ditions of any legutue as yet grown in
Canada, We are now growing it, in
every province from the Atlantic to
the Pacific.
Because Canadian -grown seed of
hardy types is obtainable at a rea-
sonable price. Alfalfa from Can-
adian -grown seed is growing success-
fully at Fort Vermilion in northern
Alberta, a distances of six hundred
and fifty miles north of the inter- ,
national boundary, where it expos
iences temperatures as low as sixty -
Jive degrees below zero.
Because a etand of alfalfa, once
established, continues to yield pay-
ing crops for many years,
Because the average yield of cur-
ed alfalfa hay for all of Canada for
the past ten years is ova' two and a
half tons to the acre. In many sec -
lions yields average,much highe'r than
this.
Because alfalfa hay is equal, if not
superior, in palatability and feeding
value to hay Matle from any other
crop, and al) classes of live stock 1'0-
11811'
BecauSe alfalfa hay Carri88 a very'
high percentage of protein which is
the moat expensive food constituent
furnished by our high-priced conceit -
:rates. -
Because alfalfa may be lased as
silage or cut green as a soiling crop
with good result. .
Because alfalfa can be ground into I
a meal of excellent feeding value.
There seems to be an opportunity for t
the development of a profitable alf-
alfn-ineal trade in Canada with a
Canadian-nu,nufactured prodtmt.
Because alfalfa hes the property
of enriching the soil with nitrogen N
gathered from the air.
Because alfalfa makes an excel- it
L colyet
[I urow
lent pasture if pastured intelligently
told not over grazed.
Because the deep -root system, or
alfalfa, besides enabling it to extract
plant food from the subsoil also opens
up the subsoil.
Because the decaying alfalfa route
stems, and leaves enrich the soil by
adding considerable amounts of hum-
us.
How •to Grow Alfalfa
Select a field that is well drained,
' both as to surface and subsoil drain-
age—Alfalfa will not stand "wet
feet."
If you want profitable yields, seed
on land that is in good fertility and
has been thoroughly worked into
fine seed -bed.
Do not seed on acid soil. The soil
of the greater part of Eastern Can.
ada and the Pacific Coast regions us-
ually needs an application of lime be-
fore alfalfa can be grown to the best
advantage.
As alfalfa is a fairly long-lived
perennial, it is not suitable or a
short rotation. It therefore pays to
set apart a field as near the farm
buildings as possible for this crop.
.Above all, secure good seed o1. h
known hardy strain.Buy hardy
Canadian -grown seed and avoid the
danger of losing your crop by winter -
killing. Grimm and Ontario variegat-
ed are hardy varieties and seed of
these is available in commercial
quantities. Cossack and Baltic alf-
alfa are aleo hardy, but seed is not
available In large quantities.
Land should be as free as possible
from weeds Inc success with alfalfa.
Once established, alfalfa can take
care of itself, but it is -8 poor weed
ighter in the seedling stage, Alf-
alfa should therefore follow a. hoed
'mop, or be seeded on land otherwise
treated to free it from weeds.
Where alfalfa has not been grossn
before, inoculation of the seed E
mcessary. The inoculating material

Best results are usually obtahmet
by seeding when the soil has become
well warmed up, but before the hot

late July and the month of August.
Under no condition should a now
stand of alfalfa be pastured the first
year. If it makes too much growth
it should be clipped high with a mow-
er and the clipping allowed to remain
on the ground. It should go into 'the
winter with about a foot of growth.

ever loved him. Iludleston
fers to an episode Brussels 11
before Waterloo, and his witness is
Basil Jackson, a staff officer of that
time.
'He was sitting In the park wh
a very great man walked past, a
immediately a carriage drove up a
a lady -got out of it and Joined him
They quickly disappeared, and, says
Mr, Hudleston: "Another carriage
then arrived and from it alighted
Lady M. N., who went peering about
searching In valn for her daughter.
Lady P. W. Lady Mountnorris seems
to have been an interfering old 1811)',and the Duke had later to write to
Capt. Webster, Lady Francis' hus-
band, that he 'deelined to have any
communication with Lady Mount-
norris.' In this story of Jackson's
one does not know whether to admire
more the strategist who brought the
lady unchaperoned to the battlefield,
or the tactician who immediately took
cover."
Mrs. Arbuthnot was another of the
Duke's fair friends. She was a beau-
ty of the day and was, with her hus-
band, the Duke's constant companion,
"Scandal was whispered of them.
but '08 cher' Gleig, while adinitting
that she and the Duke walked to-
gether arm -in -arm in the streets, re-
marks very wisely, 'Regent Street is
scarcely the locality which persons
meditating any. outrage on decorum
could select as the place, of recrea-
tion.' I am sore all my readers,
whichever their sex, will endorse this.
"It is pleasant to read that Mr.
Gleig firmly believed in the 'possible
existence of a pure and lasting friend-
ship between persons of opposite
sexes'; the fact that he was aearly
ninety when he wrote this im-
material. How different front that
cynical and slightly deaf general. Mil-
cer who, when asked by a lady,• `Do
you, then, General, believe that pla_
tonio affection Le impossible, even in
the case of a philosopher?" replied,
coldly, 'Madam, can make no ex-
ception, not even In the case of a
Field Officer., "
I3ut the Duke's queerest affair was
with "Miss ,T." (her real name was
Jenkins), to whona he wrote three
hundred and ninety letters! The girl
simply pelted him with letters, tracts,
and "spectacle wipers." She pereuad-
ed the great man to call upon her,
and the W8,1' Office Librarian de-
scribes what happened in the lady's
own words.
"He 'waited in the parlor,' and
Miss J. 'after compliments,' said, 'I
will now show you my Treasure!' She
did so. It proved to be 'a large beau-
tiful Bible.' Shortly afterwards, to
my intense astonishment he eagerly
seized my hand, exclaiming, `Oh!
How I love you!' "
The lady suffered. from religions
mania, and her avowed object "was
to save his poor sinful suul." Her
motto, says Mr. Hudleston. so far as
the Duke was concerned, appears to
have been, "Hp Jenkins and at him!"

"Mary Anne watt no doubt a bag-
gage, but, from her portrait, a most
attractive little baggage. And (un-
like a contemporary and equally
beautiful baggage. Emma) a very
clever and entertaining baggage. itt
1 807 the Duke and she parted, and
she passed to the protection of a Col.
Wardle, M.P. (of the Militia), upon
which the allowance paid her by the
Duke terminated. Mary Anne was
annoyed, and the upshot was that
Col. Wardle brought a charge in the
House of Commons against the Duke
of corruption in his administration,
and of having shared with the lady
the profits of the sale of military
commissions and promotions."
At the inquiry that was held, Mary
Anne, we are told, stood up to, and
scored` oft, her crosslexaminers.
"Under whose protection, madam,"
thundered a pompous Parliamentary
personage, "are you now?" "I had

UNEVEN BRAKES CAUSE SKIDS
if the car has u tendency to skid
when the brakes are applied, it in-
dicates that one wheel is free and the
other dragging. This condRion is
caused by a lack of equalization in
}mike adjustment and can be correct-
ed by having- the brakes properly
equalized.

dust or dirt to collect in the top, ha

CAUSES OF DRAGGING BRAKES
A dragger.% brake is usually the re-
sult of weakness in the releasing;
J mechanism, such as the pullback
swings. It may also be the result
of insufficient clearance at the bands
or too tight an adjustment a the con-
nections.
A BATTERY' /51ZIEF
It is not necessary to add acid to
O battery when it le functioning pro-
perly. While discharging, the acid
is absorbed by the plates, and while
recharging:, the acid is forced out of
the plates into the solution again.
Only the water evaporates.
*
BRAKE BAND ADJUSTMENT
Always tighten the foot brakes be'
the adjusting nut, not by the brake
rods. The reason for this is that by
making adjustments at the hands tha-.-
position of the brake lever is kept at
the proper anglo to give the proper
leverage.
