PAYS TO GROW III
Alfalfa Is a Most Profitable Crop
To Raise ,
(Continued from last week.)
Manures and Fertilizers.
"It is especially desirable that the
soil be supplied with an abundance of
lime. Alfalfa is a heavy feeder and
will thrive on soils deficient in plant
food. The Willamette Valley soils are
somewhat deficient in lime, and there
fore an application of 100 pounds per
acre of land plaster should be made
Although alfalfa can obtain a supply
of nitrogen from tyie air when the
plants are wen started, it is neces
sary that the plants obtain plenty of
this element at the time of sowing,
in order to start the young plants with
a vigorous growth. The fertilizer
which will best accomplish 'this is a
good barnyard manure. The manure
should be applied to the land at the
time of growing the crop of the pre
ceding year, at me manure men nas
time to decompose and become valu
able, and the weed seeds contained in
upon the seed before sowing. The
the manure have time to germinate
and be destroyed before the alfalfa
has started.
"If barnyard manure cannot be read
ily obtained, and there is any danger
of the soil lacking the necessary ele
ments of fertility, then field peas or
vetch should be grown during the pre
ceding season. These plants will add
nitrogen apd vegetable master to the
soil in the form needed by the young
alfalfa plant.
"During the season of 1905 the writ
er seeded two pieces of ground to al
falfa. The soil on the first piece was
very carefully prepared for the pur
pose. The other piece was intended
for another crop and was cloddy and
in bad condition for seeding to a crop
like alfalfa. A good catch, however,
was obtained in both places, but ow
ing to the dryness of the season the
alfalfa soon began to fail on the first
piece and by Fall the catch was very
poor. The second piece during 1904
had raised vetch, and on this piece the
young alfalfa plants remained green
all summer and maintained a vigor
ous growth. It therefore seemed that
the vetch had supplied something
which the other soil lacked.
Seed and Seeding.
"Pure seed is essential. Only that
which is bright, plump and green
should be used. The seed resembles
that of red clover. In purchasing al
falfa seed care should be taken that
the seed intended for sowing should
be free from dodder seed. Dodder is
an orange yellow-colored vine which
grows as a parasite upon alfalfa plants
and looks like yellow string. It starts
in the ground from a seed, and then
hooks on to an alfalfa plant, shoots out
a short distance and hooks onto an
other plant; and in this way, if let
alone will soon cover a considerable
area. If the alfalfa is cut above the
dodder plant, then the dodder plant
avails itself of the most of the plant
food supply and will begin to grow
rapidly, greatly injuring the growth
of alfalfa. If a field should become
badly infested with dodder, it should
be plowed ip and devoted to some
other crop for a few years. Small
infested patches can be removed by
hand, or the patches can be cut and
then burned over by scattering straw
or hay over them and burning it. The
dodder plant has no roots in the soil.
and consequently can also be removed
by cutting the alfalfa close to the
ground.
"The proper way to avoid dodder
is not to plant the seed. Dodder seed
is somewhat smaller than alfalfa seed,
is more angular, and is not curved or
bean-like in shape. An examination
of the seed under a magnifying glass
should be made in order to detect dod
der seed, and then if new seed cannot
be obtained, an attempt should be
made to remove the dodder seed by
running the seed over' a sieve, the
mesh of which will be large enough
to catch the alfalfa seed, and allow
the dodder seed to pass through.
Preparation of the Soil.
"An alfalfa field is practically per
manent and will well repay the- ex
pense of carefully and thoroughly pre
paring the soil. Not being provided
with creeping roots or stems alfalfa
will not spread, as in the case with
such grasses as Kentucky blue grass.
The individual plants become larger
each year by the increasing size of
the crown, but bare spaces in the
field will not be filled except as new
seed may be sown. Young alfalfa is
quite tender and is easily crowded
aside . or choaked out by weeds, or
checked in its growth by lack of
moisture or other unfavorable condi
tions. "If a piece of sod land is to be con
verted into an alfalfa field, it should
be plowed and planted with some cul
tivated crop for a year or two before
in order to ,put the soil in good phy
sical condition. In any event It is de
sirable that the preceding crop should
be one which requires cultivation such
as corn or roots. The soil should be
somewhat compact for the seed, hence
it is not wise to sow alfalfa on newly
plowed ground. It is a good plan to
plow the land in the Fall, allow it to
remain fallow in the Winter; and in
the Spring when the soil is in good
condition, it should be cut up with a
disc harrow and pulverized with a
smoothing harrow. If it is desired to
sow alfalfa on land which is plowed
the same Spring, the plowing should
be done as long before sowing as pos
sible, and the newly plowed land
should be rolled to compact it, and
be afterwards lightly harrowed to
leave the surface finely pulverized and
prevent the loss of moisture. Alfalfa
should be sown on a field that has just
had a green crop turned over. Time
should be allowed for the new ma
terial to decay and for the acid to be
worked out by one or two good rains.
It is not desirable to sow alfalfa with
any nurse crop. The soil should be
packed around the satd. Many fail
ures to secure a good stand of alfalfa
are traceable to sowing the seed
broadcast on newly plowed land and
loosely
with the surface soil. The ground on
which alfalfa is planted should be
finely pulverized and then rendered
somewhat compact by rolling, and.
then the immediate surface soil should
be loosened by means of a light har
row or weeder, and the alfalfa seed
thus covered. After the ground has
been well cultivated and prepared it
should be allowed to lie fallow for
about ten days to two weeks so that
the weed seeds will germinate. It
should be then harrowed for the pur-
pose of destroying the -weeds, and
then the alfalfa seed should be sown.
"From 20 to 25 pounds of seed should
be sown to the acre. Care should be
taken that the seed is not put in too
deep. If planted more than three
inches deep there is danger that the
germinating plant will not be able to
reach, the surface. One-half inch to
two Inches below the surface are
about the extremes. The seed may
be sown broadcast, using some kind
of a mechanical sower to distribute it
evenly. If sown by a drill it should
be drilled in both ways across the
field.
Early Treatment.
"The growth of weeds should be
checked early, and as soon as the
weeds are large enough should be
clipped slightly by the cutting bar of
a mowing machine. If the clipping is
not too heavy it jan be left on the
field, otherwise it should be removed
by forking and without raking, in
order not to disturb the young plants
This destruction of weeds in the young
growth is very important, and in ad
dition frequent cutting is helpful in
establishing the young plants
"Alfalfa should be cut every time it
begins to blossom, whether the growth
is short or tall. If left until fully
blossomed the quality of the product
is reduced, and the plants are injured
and subsequent crops are smaller.
Established Fields.
"The chief value of alfalfa is as
green forage or soiling crop. Af
ter the field is well established three
or four cuttings may be secured in a
season. It is not safe pasture for cat
tle or sheep, as it is likely to cause
bloat. When the animals are given
all they will eat the fodder should be
allowed to wilt before it is fed. Al
falfa is one of the most palatable of
fodders and animals which naturally
have a greedy appetite will injure
themselves with it if allowed to do so.
Such animals should-"be fed sparing
ly until they become used to the diet,
allowing plenty of exercise. As high
as 50 pounds of green forage per cow
per day have been used at some of
the Stations, and no cases of bloating
have been observed where the forage
was allowed to wilt before it was fed.
"It is not advisable to pasture al
falfa at any time. The younger plants
are not strong enough to stand long
continued pasturing, and much tramp
ing is injurious to crowns of the roots
at any time.
' Alfalfa as a Hay Crop.
"Alfalfa where desired for forage or
nay should be cut when budded or
just before full bloom, as it contains
the most nutriment at this time and it
is better for the subsequent crops to
cut it before it is in full bloom. The
value of the hay depends much on the
method used in curing it. The prep
aration of hay from alfalfa is essen
tially the same as from any of the
grasses, being modified somewhat by
its succulent nature. After cutting
it should be allowed to lie in the
swath only long enough to become
well wilted, when it should be raked
into windrows, where it may be left
for a few hours before putting into
cockes. The hay should be allowed
to remain in the cocks until cured,
which usually requires three or four
days. should then be hauled to the
barn without further handling.
"If the weather' is unfavorable hay
caps should be used, as water, pene
trates alfalfa very readily. These caps
are pieces of cheap sheeting into the
corners of which light weights are
fastened. In Wisconsin such caps are
used very successfully, and the re
sults certainly justify the expense and
trouble. Alfalfa hay is worth almost
as much pound for pound as bran, and
certainly such hay justifies any rea- j
sonable cost connected' with saving
it in good shape.
"Alfalfa should not be left in the
field long enough to become dry or
brittle, or many of the leaves will be
lost in handling and thus very mate
rially reduce the value of the hay.

egon Experiment Station.

Mull's Grape Tonic Cured Him
Mrs. Tompson flrst wrote us as follows: "My husband, aged S3, suffers from sharp pains In his stomach and
sometimes thinks It Is his heart. Let me know by return mall what causes ttae pain, if you can. Mr. Thompson
nas been treated by several doctors, but they have given him up."
We promptly advised that a flrst-class specialist be consulted. "We quofft: "We want to sen Mull's Grape
Tonic, because we know tt will cure constipation, but 50c. a bottle Is no object to us when a human life is at stake,
and if your husband's case Is as serious as you state, we suggest you consult a reliable specialist, not the advertising
kind, promptly." At the same time, knowing that Mull's Grape Tonic could do no harm, we advised Its use until a
physician could be consulted. January 25 Mrs. Thompson wrote that a physician had been consulted. He diag
nosed the case as being chronic constipation and dyspepsia. His treatment was followed faithfully, but there was
no perceptible improvement in Mr. Thompson's health. Then he began taking Mull's Grape Tonic and on Sept.
3, 1903, we received the following letter from Mrs. Thompson: .
"You will remember that I wrote to you last Januarv In regard to my husband' hearth. It

FOR WOMEN ONLY.
There are good and substantial reasons
why intelligent people and physicians as
well, emplov Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
loription for the cure of diseases and
weakness peculiar to women.
In the first place, it is not a cure-all,
serving on:y a singleness of purpose,
being a specific for one class of diseases
onlv those peculiar weaknesses and
maladies incident to women. Besides it
is the only medicine put up for sale
through druggists for the cure of such
maladies, all the ingredients of which
have the endorsement of leading medical
practitioners and writers, as being the
very best known remedies for the ail
ments for which "Favorite Prescription"
is advised. All this will be learned to the
reader s full satisfaction by perusing a
booklet of extracts compiled by Doctor
.fierce lrom standard authorities ot the
several schools of practice, and which
will be sentree to any address on request
lor same, mailed to Dr. u. v. fierce,
Buffalo, X. Y. "
In the second place. Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Pres-:iption is the only medicine for
woman's peculiar weaknesses and affec
tions, all the ingredients 01 wnien are
printed upon the boit,:e wrapper in plain
Enijlisli. so that all who take it may
know exactly what they are using.
A further reason for the unprecedented
popularity of the " Favorite Prescrip
tion " of Dr. Pierce for the special use of
woiuen. is to be foun l in the fact that
it contains not a drop of alcohol
pure. triple-reline:! glycerine, of proper
strength, being used instead, both for
extracting and preserving the medicinal
principles extracted from such roots
of native, medicinal, forest plants as
are employed in its make-up. The
printed forin'ila wiH also bear witness
that it contains no narcotics or other
harmful or habit-forming drugs, being
entirely made up of glyceric extracts of
native. American plants of marvelous
efficacy in the cure of the diseases pecu
liar to women.
Now. in this connection, it is well to
bear in mind. that, curious as it may
seem, yet it is a fact that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the only medi
cine for. the cure of women's peculiar
weaknesses and maladies that does not
contain alcohol and tlmt too in. Innje
quantities. This fact can be easily
proven; and yet it is'a fact well known to
all-the best physicians that alcohol, even
in small anantities. when long continued
is very harmful, and especially so to
weaH, inviiui, nervous women. wnue
the effect, of spirituous wines and liquors,
sold under various, enticing names may
at first be to exhilerate, brace -up and
unduly support the system for a brief
tune, vet a reaction comes sooner or later
and the uatieut is worse off than before.
Besides, a craving for alcoholic stimu
lants has gradually fastened itself upon
the poor, deluded, suffering woman a
malady generally more to be dreaded
than the original affliction.
Furthermore. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription has a record of cures extend
ing over a period exceeding one-third of
a century and embracing more genuine
cases of full and complete recovery than
any other medicine in its line can boast
of. Thousands have been saved from the
operating table and the surgeon's knife
by the use of this marvelously efficacious
specific for woman's ailments. Other
tiiousands have escaped the disagreeable
ordeal of the doctors' questionings, and
offensive examinations by taking this
remedy and being cured m the privacy
of their homes. It has cured thousands
of bad. obstinate cases in which doctors
had failed and ia which cures were
thought to be impossible.
What it has done for others it will no
doubt, ix fob you, if similarly afflicted,
and you give it a good, fair and faithful
trial.

scription being regarded away above the
secret patent medicines of our time, is the

disagreeable drains as if from pelvic
catarrh, sickening sensations, dizziness
at times, monthly headaches, irregulari
ties, bearing - down or dragging - down
sensations in the lower abdomen or any
of the many kindred distressful and pain
ful symptoms which accompany fema'o
weaknesses, then you cannot find arv
remedyiuite so perfectly adapted for the
cure of your malady as Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. Bear in mind, it
is not a secret nostrum, is not a patent
medicine, to the use of which most intel- .
ligent people object because of the close
secrecy with which the formulae of such
medicines are held, and which, no doubt
aremany times harmful in the long run,
especially as all those for women contain
large quantities of alcohol and oft times
other objectionable ingredients. The
only wise and safe course is to use only
MEDICINES OF KNOWN COMPOSITION', and
which, like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription, contain no alcohol or harmful
habit-forming drugs.
