Show WAYS Thar OF SEEDING ALFALFA Seema to Ba General Misunder-atandinRegarding Seeding of Crop In the Woat. PRESIDENT OF WOOL g During the winter wo made a number of Inquiries regarding tbe seeding of alfalfa on irrigated land under our Immediate conditions. There teems to be a general misunderstanding regarding the seeding of this crop; some of the eastern farm Journals for instance have stated. It is a waste of seed to try to grow this crop on soil of a sandy nature." A large number of farmers read eastern farm Journals and as a result ire often misled by such statements, ays a writer in the Denver Ranch and Range. The above may be true, and no doubt is true, under these particular conditions, but it does not hold for ALL ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHER!

Nevertheless, philosophers are wont to gravitate toward comfortable stove. ol in corner groceries, where men toand in leisures straggle varying wards comfortable chairs in universi- ties where helpless youth are compelled to listen as a part of an awful punishment called a curriculum. Whenever a philosopher becomes famous, it always turns out that he is not a philosopher at all, but a scien- tist Simon pure philosophers never give Information, because nothing less than explaining the unknowable will satisfy them.

The idea of seeding alfalfa very early In the spring is not so general as it was several years ago; this is more especially true in the windy sections of the west. In the spring when high winds prevail there is a tendency to either blow out the seed or whip off the young plants; also have we to contend with the drying winds that take the moisture from the surface of the soil very rapidly. Do not work the soil too deeply; shallow plowing. If the soil has to be plowed, is preferable. Get the soli In shape either tbe fore part of June or the last of July. Prepare a good but solid seed bed, have the soil good and moist before seeding, put the seed in with a drill at tbe rate of 15 pounds to the acre. Where the aoli is Inclined to blow, several methods have been practiced. One of theae is to seed the alfalfa Into the small grain stubble tbe end of July. This can be done very nicely after fall grain, aa this comes off of the ground early In the season. An other good method Is to seed rye about flrgt of July and when lhlB has reached the height of about three Inches, drill In the alfalfa seed. After a thorough Inquiry, we found that In tbe larger percentage of cases better stands were secured on late seeding of alfalfa. Likewise have we found that the deep loose soil la not conducive to a good stand In the aver age seasons. We do not recommend the careless and shiftless preparation of the soil, but believe In a good tilth that haa a solid, firm bed In which the alfalfa seed Is placed. Not long ago we took part in a conversation In which several grain growers remarked that This year we have to begin Irrigation early and forfe the We are afraid grain from the atari. that a number of farmers will make this mistake. Do not he afraid of tbe ate season. The anow and moisture we have lad has put the ground in nice shape and when once the grain is seeded, will make a rapid growth. Observation and experience have taught us that too much water is a detriment and will decrease the crop as much as a shortage of water will decrease It. During the season watch the soli snd do not let the moisture get down too low at any time during the growing season, but If we can stay off the application of water until tbe grain begins to shoot, then we are almost sure of a good big yield. Irrigating the grain too young has tbe same effect on it as too much rain would have TRUST UNDER ARREST Charged With Conspiring to Place namite in Order to Discredit Labor Unions. Boston. There was an astounding outcome Friday of the great strike of mill operatives at Lawrence, Mass., which lasted from January 12 until March 14 last, alarmed the country and brought the workers and militia in sanguinary collision. William M. Wood, president of the American Woolen company, surrendered himself here on learning he had been Indicted for conspiracy. Mr. Wood is accused of plotting to plant dynamite ao as to discredit the labor unions. It is charged that he and others planned to conceal the deadly explo- slve and then to betray its hiding places to the police so as to create the impression that the strikers proposed to destroy some of the mills from which they had walked out. The dynamite was discovered in a Syrian lodging house, a cobblers shop and a cemetery at Lawrence lae Jan- the eastern states. Raising Celery. Celery has been a paying crop In Luzerne county, Pa. M.

At the Michigan experiment station an experiment waa recently conducted for ten weeks, using a variety of cheap substitutes for oats and timothy hay as a feed lor horses. Six horses at work received a regular ration of timothy hay and oats at an average cost of 29.6 cents per day, estimating the feed at current prices. The horses lost on an average of 11 pounds each. Six horses were fed a cheaper ration consisting of shredded stalks, oat straw, hay, ear corn, oats, beet Pulp bran 011 cae an a few carrots, the average cost of which waa 7.7 cents per day, and the horses gained on an average 14 pounds each. Four horses were also fed the cheap- er ration, but as they were at rest pari of the time they were not fed so heavily as the other lots. The average cost of maintenance In this trial was 12.9 cents, and the average cora- - loss In live weight for each four pounds.
