ALFALFA AS A ROTATION CROP.
It is practically the unanimous ex
pression of all who have succeeded in
growing alfalfa, no matter in what
section of the country the experiment
was tried, that it exceeds any other
crop in its value as a feed for live
stock, and that without restricting it
to any one kind of stock. It is ex
cellent food for working horses. In
Roswell, Ne,w Mexico, the livery
horse3, which are notoriously hard
worked, are turned Into a lot where
there are racks of alfalfa hay, there
to eat their fill, and it is but very
seldom that any grain is given them.
As a fattening food for cattle it is
unsurpassed, and hogs may be made
almost fit for market on it alone, but
they are usually toped oft with corn
to add weight. Sheep and poultry
thrive on It and even hares and rab
bits get rolling fat. on It. All the
species named like it and will for
sake all other kinds to pick it out;
these things about alfalfa are conced
ed, but the wonderful crop possesses
a yet greater value, and that is as a
restorer of the soil.
A crop to be acceptable to the aver
age farmer as a soil restorer must
be a rotation crop as well. It is -not
enough that the crop merely pos
sesses the power to add nitrogen to
the soil. If it must be left for years
before the benefits are available, then
it will never gain great favor with
the majority ofthe farmers. Alfalfa
has been looked upon as an ideal crop
for hay, soiling and pasture, but its
place as rotation crop has never been
acorded to, as yet.
Red clover has been compared with
alfalfa as a rotation crop to the dis
advantage of the latter. Farmers are
being constantly warned not to for
sake the old friend, red clover, for the
new alfalfa.
This is alright so far as it (toes.
and if alfalfa cannot be shown to be
a desirable rotation crop, then the
farmers will not be expected to adopt
It as such. But it is rapidly coming
into favor as a rotation crop, and in
stances are not hiking where it has
done the work as such in a truly re
markable way. Experiments will be
tried this coming spring in many sec
tions of the country and by next fall
the reports will be gathered and the
Information given to the farmers un
der the seal of authority. It is conced
ed that two or three well defined ex
periments may not be enough to prove
any sweeping claims for alfalfa as a
rotation crop, but they surely can be
accepted as an indication that red
clover, with Its single hay crop each
season, may find an important com
petitor in alfalfa for this desirable and
honorable position with the American
agriculturists.
In some sections of Indiana, airaua
has been grown for many years, and
there are numerous examples of its
eminent fitness as a rotation crop.
Two instances will suffice for this
uresent time. Wm. V. Rooker, a
prominent Indianapolis lawyer, owns
a large farm seven miles notheast of
the capital city of Indiana. At the
time Mr. Rooker purchased the farm
it was yielding 30 to 35 bushels of
corn per acre. It is clay upland, and
is not looked upon as the very best
out of doors. Mr. Rooker decided to
trv alfalfa in rotation with corn, ana
after growing a crop of alfalfa plowed
it up the following spring ana piameu
in corn. The corn crop yielded 120
bushels Der acre on eighteen acres in
the field. This la not an etslmated
yield, but the actulal yield by weights.
The facts and figures can be substan
tiated In the fullest manner. It Is
not strange that Mr. Rooker is an
adherent of the theory that alfalfa
does well in rotation with corn. And
that is not all. The alfalfa was srown
In the spring and two crops were cut
that season, making about three tons
per acre or a valuation of $30 "per
acre. Then in the fall the field was
asturned when the condition of the
ground was fit, which added material
ly to the value of the corn. This sys
tem of rotation, one year in alfalfa
and the next in corn, will probably
be continued as long as that farm
is under the control of its present
owner.
The other instance referred to is
that of Henry Snider, a well known
farmer of Deleware County, Indiana.
Mr. Snider started in with alfalfa sev
eral years ago. After allowing his
fields to stand for three years he
plowed up the alfalfa sod and planted
corn. The reBult was astonishing, and
converted Mr. Snider to the belief that
alfalfa as a rotation crop with corn
was an entire success.
These experiments could be repeat
ed over and over again In the In
stances of Indiana farmers, and doubt-

Hoards.
Feeding Young Lambs.
A good flockmaster holds that for
young lambs wheat bran Is most ex
cellent to begin with, and after they
become stronger the bran should be
mixed with corn meal in equal parts.
He says that oat meal or oats when
they can eat it, should, be added to
balance the ration, for oats is nearly
a balanced food Itself. After grow
ing a little they will shell and crack
their own corn, if given to them on
the cob. The lambs that are to re
main on the farm should not be
forced so fast, They need plenty of
food, but the grain ration should be
small and no corn should be used.
They should be given plenty of exer
cise and an abundance of good pas
ture when possible. Corn tends to
breeders of short season. Wheat bran
and oats are probably the two safest
food materials that can be used.
When the grass becomes stronger
and good in the spring, grain feeding
is not needed for those lambs that
are to remain on the farm, and only
the corn will remain as the dry feed
ration for the market lambs. The
grass is better than any other nitro
genous food.
A new feature In the Umatilla pro
ject is the demonstration farm which
is being operated by the reclametlon
service in conjunction with the stato
and United States agricultural depart
ments. Forty acres of land have been
placed under Irrigation, buildings have
been erected by the reclamation ser
vice and an extensive system of ex
perimental work for the benefit of
settlers will be started- at once.

The Palace of Oriental Exhibits forms one of the twelve mammoth dis
play buildings first completed by the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflo Exposition
Its lines are in pleasing contrast to the Agricultural and Manufacturers
buildings, with which they are grouped, and their position overlooks the
beautiful formal gardens and water display of the Cascades and Geyser
Basin.
The exhibit placed within the walls of the Oriental building consti
tutes one of the most gorgeous displays of Far Eastern art and manu
factured articles ever shipped from the Orient, and Is bewildering In
beauty and extent. Not a country of Asia is without representation, and
treasures of old and modern art, never before permitted to leave the
lands in which they were created, will be seen Kir the first time In the
land of the Occident. The matter of arrangement of the Oriental exhibit
has been placed In the hands of the most eompetent and artistic men at
command and Its display will be worthy of the magnificent collection.
About the Oriental building are gathered the great buildings housing
the United States exhibit and the Alaska, Hawaiian and Philippine dis
plays. One of the largest bandstands Is within close distance, and from
its doors the most noted musical organizations of the world will be heard
