increase of $3,063,000 over that of the

Haw U Halve Alfalfa,
A correspondent of a California pa
per gives tho following as his expe
rience in the cultivation of alfalfa:
Alfalfa an a fodder plant Is coming
more and more into general ue and
ravor, both for horses and cows, and,
iu (act, all kinds of stock, hoirs not ex
cepted.
I am inclined to think that there is
no fodder plant that will continue in
full bearing equal to the above, if prop
erly handled.
Seven yean ago this coining March
I sowed about three-fourths of an acre,
and for years this block has furnished
feed for a span of horses and a cow en
tirely, excepting a few pumpkins, and
I have ld considerable hay. For the
past three years my horse has had uo
grain whatever. As for my cows, I
find that they do far better, both in re
gard to milk and butter, ou alfalfa
alone, than cows do in the States with
a good supply of milk feed. This plant
keeps green tbe year round, for we sel
dom have frost in this country to kill
Uie young growth.
My experience leads me to advise
those who desire planting alfalfa to
plow very deep (uiljsoilihg is far bet
ter) and pulverize thoroughly; sow
thirty pound of seed, not less, to the
acre and brush it iu lightly. By this
plan you gain three points : First, you
get a good ttand, which can be ob
tained only at the first seeding. Sec
ond, the stools will bo much finer, and
thud, you will get a greater amount of
hay. Unless you can irrigate, I would
advise sowing in the fall after the first
rain. I have sowed in November.
We usually cut four times tho first
year after seeding ; after that from six
to eight times during the year. It is
usually cut when fairly in blossom. If
it begius to lodge it may be cut sooner.
The earliest I ever commenced har
vesting was the 20th of March, and
finibhed tho 5th of January, cutting
eight crops that year. As for the yield
that depends very materially on the
care given. The average is from one
half to two tons per acre at a cutting.
Five crops of hay and one of seed are
often grown in one season.
When the gophers are troublesome I
adviso, after a newly seeded track is
settled, to throw out a ditch twelve or
fourteen inches wide and sixteen or
eighteen inches deep ; then sink an old
leaky oil can down in the bottom of
the ditch so that the top of the can
will be llnsh with the bottom of the
ditch. By this dovice you can keep
the gopheis out entirely. In case you
can irrigate, this ditch will carry a head
of water (100 inches), and by striking
a tapoon across you can flood your
whole ground. I have used this kind
of ditch for several yaars with marked
success.
My mode of treatment with alfalfa
is this: After this has been sown
three or four years I apply a sharp
harrow, well weighed down, say 200
pounds, and give it a thorough appli
cation both ways, and then an appli
cation with a heavy bush, which causes
the stools to start very vigorously aud
also levels the Burfuce of the ground.
To secure the greatest amount of feed
it is desirable to cut it instead of pas
turing it. Never allow stock to tramp
over aud pack tho ground.
Some object to alfalfa, saying that
stock fed upon it are liable to bloat.
So will stock fed upon Eastern clover.
I here give a remedy that has never
beeu known to fail in a single instance :
Get an ounce of colocynth, drop six
drops on a tcuspoonful of pulverized
sugar for horse or cow, place it well
back on tho tongue; aud if not re
lieved reiieat the dose in twenty nun
ules. With this remedy at hand there
is no need of losing any slock from
blont.
Butter oo the Farm,
There are many ways by which tho
butler produced on tho farm might be
improved in quality and quantity, and
the proceeds increased from 20 to 50
per cent. TIhih a farmer who takes to
town only $5 worth of butter a week
gets $260 a year ; if he can add 25 per
cent to that he gets $390, and the ex
tra $130 would buy a good many
things wanted in the household and
on the farm ; and yet by a little lur
ther effort he can make the amount
fully double the original $260 and have
$520 without additional coRt of money
or labor.
A part of what would conduce to
this cud is stated by a correspondent
thus:
"Since 1870 I have weighed all my
milk nieht and morning. My best
cow gives 8,000 to 9,000 tts of milk
H!T year. I have three or four that do
that I havo ten that give 7,000 fcs.
Cows that give less than 5,000 fts I sell
A cow yielding 5.000 s of milk a
year will, at 22 Ds of milk to one
pound of butter, yield 222 2-9 B.s of
butter; but at 16 Us of milk to pound
of butter it will be 312J- Ss of butter,
a difference of about 90J Us of butter
in favor of proper feeding, which
Big multiplied by the price per tound
tho farmer receives, say 30 cents,
equals $27 10 which the fanner loses
each year. armers lose by low leea
inir. High feeding gives greater re
fcUlta."
This weighing of the milk, testing
the cows, and knowing to a dollar
what one is doing is a great help to
the dairy farmer, and for that matter
to every farmer. It enables him to
get rid of the poor milkers and to re
place them with good ones ; and the
latter cost no more to keep or to nan
die than the former. Then he can im
prove his produce by breeding to a bull
of a good milking strain, and thus add
additional quarts to each head daily.
Again, he can study what feed is best
calculated to increase the flow of milk.
He can save ico, and thus keep his but
ter in better condition and take it to
tho ice itfelf.
He can get with this extra gain tho
best implements instead of using the
porcst and meanest; and with im
proved pans, churn, creamer anil
worker, make his butter worth 10 to 15
cents a pound more, and tho people to
run after him for it.
It is no mean thing for the people
to say: "Such a farmer makes the
best butter brought to this town, and
we indeed cannot get all we want, for
everybody wants it." Such a man
takes a pride in having the best cows,
breeding to tho Ut bull, making the
moct uiter, having the name for tho
very best, and getting tho highest price.
But how many neglect all of these
poiuts aud make the poorest and mean
est stuff that goes to a market 1
Treating Balky Harare.
First, pat the horse on tho neck, ex
amine him carefully, first on ono side
then on the other ; if you can get him
a handful of grass, give it to him, and
speak encouragingly to him, aud jump
into Uie wagon and give the word go,
and he will geuerally obey. Second,
takiug the horse out of the shafts, and
turning him areund in a circle until
he is giddy, will generally start him.
Third, a author way to cure a balky
horse is, place your hand over his. nose
and shut off his wind until ho wants
to go. Fourth, then, agaiu, tako a
couple of turns of stout twine around
tho fore legs just below' the knee, tight
ouough for the horse to feel it ; tie in
a bow-knot. At the first click he will
probably go dancing off. After going
a short distance you can got out and
remove the string, to prevent injury to
the tendons, tilth, again, you can
try the following: Take the tail of
tho horse between tho hind legs, and
tie it b) a cord to the saddle girth.
Sixth, the last remedy I know is as
follows: Tie a string around, the
horse's ear, close to head. This will
attract his attention and start him.

A. L. Harris, who lives near Chico,
Cal., at an elevation of 1,400 foot, has

in their native land. Mr. Harris

uses.
When you dig the early iHjtatoes
don t leave the laud to grow up in
weeds, but as soon as a row is dug cul
tivate till mellow, and rut in cabbage,
late corn, or something else. Sweet
corn planted in August will mske good
cow feed More frost, and if it did not
make anything would pay to plant and
cultivate it to keep the ground clean.
Many a good crop is sometimes al
most ruined by nrglecting to harvost
it at the proper time. Corn fodder be
comes dry and weather beaten if al
lowed to remain too long in the field.
Oats, buckwheat, rye aud other grain
crops waste very much if allowed to
stand after they are ripo. Potatoes
and other root crops are often dam
aged by remaining too long iu tho
ground.
The potato onion produces no seed,
and no small bulbs on its stalks, iu the
manner of most of the onion family,
Its method of increase is from the
bulb, which is planted. From the
spring set, a number of bulbs of va
rious sines will be formed, beneath tho
surface of the ground, and around the
old one. These, toward fall, will form
the same as from seed, begin to swell
at the bottom and form the onion.
Towards tho fall, usually in Septem
ber, the top begins to change to yel
low. When this is taking place the
bulb is ripening. Whon all the tops
are dead the crop may be taken from
the ground, by the hand or point of a
hoe or rake. Leave them on the
ground, subject to sun and wind, for
a number of days. Then thoroughly
dry, trim off balance of tops and roots,
aud they are ready for winter storing
in any dry place, where no great cold
or heat can reach them, but where
they can be kept perfectly dry.
Beyond the slightly additional fast
colt every one knows.or ought to know,
that it does not cost a dollar more to
raise a good horse or cow than it does
to feed a poor one. And yet on every
hand we can see calves and colts of
breeds unknown to the herd-book be
ing reared only to be sold at less than
the cost of keeping. Take two far
mers: ono will begrudge the $25 or $.'0
necescary for the service of a good
blooded stallion and will raise colis re
quiring an original outlay of only $10
or fli). v nen mo con is tnrce years
old it is sold for f'0 or $60, or less, and
the unenterprising farmer growls about
the lack of profit in clock raising, and
says a colt cannot be sold for enough
to pay for his feed. His neighbor how
ever, has better sense. He pays a fair
price for the getting of a colt of good
breed, and when it reaches maturity
he has no trouble in selling it for any
where from $100 to $500. He pockets
his profits and naturally enough con
eludes that there are few branches of
farming which pay better than tho
rearing of wtU-ered uorsos.
