Although the effect of lime alone was not as marked as that of Inocula tion, the best sections of alfalfa were always found whore the ground had been both limed and inoculated. The lime should be applied soon after plowing at the rate of one ton per acre of burnt lime or two tons per acre of "agricultural lime," marl or ground limestone, The best stands of alfalfa have been secured on well drained, stony or gravelly loam solis with a southern exposure. Great care must be taken to secure n well pulverized but com pact seed lied for alfalfa. Plenty of sUble manure is the best fertilizer. v . - , V'.., - -4.

The Disease Can Ee Controlled With Bordeaux Mixture. Some eases of late bMght of potatoes In field of the central and southern portions of Wisconsin have just been reported to the plant pathology depart ment of the Wisconsin. Col lege of Astri culture. This disease can be prevented ! by spraying the potato vines with bor- deuux mixture. Potato growers will i do well to wntcb the spread of -the blight closely and spray their fields be j fore the disease appears in them. Es lecial watchfulness is necessary so long as the weather continues damp, with foggy nights, as these conditions are favorable to the rapid growth of the blight. "Potato growers will remember." says i. G. Mil ward, in charge of Wiscon sin's potnto seed certification work, "that it was the l ite blig'jt which caus ed serious losses to tile potato crop in thi- state last year and requited in low pi-Ices. T':e diwa-ie ut only destroys the vines n the tie'd. but also causes tuber rot bolh on the field at harvest time and during stor?e. "The bordeaux mixture to be effec tive ngMinst this disease must be ini piied with a pressor spray pump that will put the liquid on tinder from seventy-live to a hundred pounds of pres sure. Where a siugie nozzle spraying outfit is cseil It Is usually necessary to apply the mixture t' the vines twice, fj-.raymg them from opposite direc tions. Applications of the bordeaux should be made at Intervals of about tn days. I'snally about four applica tions are ne -es-sary during the season. Grower are cautioned that unless tbor. I oeirb work Is done In spraying bcucQ- fir. I results cannot be exported. ' "Bordeaux mixture uu.de by the fo. towing forniu!-! will be found satisfac tory in controlling tha late blight: "Ktght- pounds of copper sulphate (blue stonei. ten pounds of lime aci a ! hundred gallons of water,1' ,v- i l . .

If the stumps are extra large it is a good plan to take two stump pullers and put them opposite each other on the stump, I have - seen stumps pulled In this way so large that a horse could have been burled In the hole. The hook Is made of steel one inch thick, three and one-half Inches wide and twelve inches long.: , Or the butt end of an old steel plow beam can be used. There are two one-Inch links of round, soft steel and a large' ring, egg shaped, twelve Inches In diameter, made of one and a half Inch soft steel. The lever should be eighteen or twenty feet long, ten Inches thick at the large end. Nebraskan Farmer. . Keep the Ground Clean. Gather up all fallen apples, peaches and plums.
