increase of $3,008,000 over that of tho

aro actually increasing mr production
of precious metals. California, tho

AGRICULTURAL.
Devoted to tho Interests of Farmers
and Stockmen:
Hon- to Itnlxo Atf.iirn.
A correspondent of a California pa
per gives the following as his expe
rience in the cultivation of alfalfa:
Alfalfa as a fodder plant Is coming
moro and moro into general u;-o and
favor, both for horses and cows, and,
in fact, all kinds of stock, hogs not ex
cepted! 1 am inclined to think that there is
no fodder plant that will continue in
full bearing equal to the above, if prop
erly handled.
Soven years ago this coming 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
1 have sold considerable hay. ' For tho
past three years my horo has had no
grain whatever. As for my cows, 1
find that they do far better, both in re
gard to milk and butter, on alfalfa
alone, than cows do in the States with
a good Biipply of milk feed. This plant
keeps green the year round, for wo sel
dom have frost in this country to kdl
tho young growth.
My experience leads mo to advise
those who desire planting alfalfa to
plow very deep (subsoiling is far bet
ter) and pulvoiize thoroughly; sow
thirty pounds of seed, not less, to tho
acre and brush it in lightly. By this
plan you gain three points: First, you
get a good utand, which can bo ob
tained only at the first seeding. Sec
ond, the stools will bo much liner, and
third, you will get a greater amount of
hay. Unless you can irrigate, I would
advise sowing in the fall after tho first
rain. I have sowed in November.
Wo 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 bo cut sooner.
The earliest I ever commenced har
vesting was the 20th of March, and
finished tho 5th of January, cutting
eight crops that year. As for tho yield
that depends very materially on tho
care given. Tho average is from one
half to two tons per aero at a cutting.
Five crops of hay and ono of seed are
often grown in ono season.
When tho gophers are troublesome I
advise, 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 tho bottom of
tho ditch so that tho top of tho can
will be Hush with tho bottom of tho
ditch, by this device you-can keep
the gophers out entirely. In caso you
can irrigate, this ditch will carry a head
of water (100 inches), and by striking
a tapoon across you can Hood your
whole ground. I havo used this kind
of ditch for several years with marked
success.
My mode of treatment with alfalfa
is this: After this has been sown
three or four years 1 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
tho stools to start very vigorously and
also levels the surface of tho ground.
To secure tho greatest amount of feed
it is desirable to cut it instead of pas
luring it. Never allow stock to tramp
over and pack the 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
been known to fail in a single instance :
Get an ounce of colocynth, drop six
dropB on a toaspoonful of pulverized
sugar for horso or cow, place it well
back on tho tongue, and. if not re
lieved repeat tho dose in twenty min
utes. With this remedy at hand there
is no need of losing any stock from
bloat.
flutter on the l'arin.
There are many ways by which tho
butter produced on tho farm might bo
improved in quality and quantity, and
tho proceeds increased from 20 to 50
nor cent. Thus a fanner who takes to
town only $5 worth of butter a week
gets $200 a year; if he can add 25 per
cent to that ho gets $.190, and tho ex
tra $130 would buy a good many
things wanted in tho household and
on tho farm; and yet by a-littlo fur-
thor effort ho can make tho amount-
fully double tho original $2G0 and havo
$520 without additional cont of monoy
or labor.
A part of what would conduce to
this end is stated by a correspondent
thus:
"Since 1870 I havo weighed all my
milk night and morning. My best
cow gives 8,000 to 9,000 H-s of milk
per year. I havo three or four that do
that I havo ten that give 7,000 11b
Cows thatjgive less than 5,000 IIjb I sell.
A cow yielding 5,000 lts of milk a
year will, at 22 lts of milk to ono
pound of butter, yield 222 2-9 Ua of
butter; but at lb db of milk to pound
of butter it will be 3I2 ll.s of butter,
a diffcrenco of about 90 Bib of butter
in favor of propor feeding, winch 90J
lliH multiplied by tho pneo per pound
tho farmer receives, say 30 cents,
equals $27 10 which tho farmer loses
cacli year, r armors lose by low joeu
ing. High feeding gives greater re
buIUj."
This weighing of the milk, testing
tho cowb, and knowing to a dollar
what ono ia doing ia a great help io
tho dairy farmer, and for that matter
to every farmer. It enables him to
not rid of tho poor milkers and to ro
placo them with good ones ; and the
latter cost no moro to Keep or to nan
dlo tlian tho former. Then he can im
prove liia produce by breeding to a bull
of a cood milking strain, nnd thus add
additional quarts to each head daily.
Again, ho can etudy what feed ia best
calculated to increase the flow of milk.
Ho can savo ice, and thus keep his but
ter in letter condition and take it to
the ice ittolf.
Hej can get with this extra gain tho
be'st implements instead of using tho
poorest and meanest; and with im
proved pans, churn, creamer and
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 tho pe'ople
to say: "Such a fanner makes the
best bultor brought to this town, and
we intlee'd cannot got all wo want, for
everybody wants it." Sti'li a man
takes a pride in having the best cows,
breeding to the lest bull, making the
niot't butter, having tho name for the
very best, and getting tho highest price.
Hut how many ne'glcct all of these
points and make the poorostand mean
est stud' that goes to a market!
TrontliiK Italky IIoi-hoh.
First, pat the horho on the neck, ex
amine him carefully, first on one side
then on the other; if vou can get him
a handful of grass, give it to him, and
speak encouragingly to him, and jump
into tho wagon and give tho word go,
and he will generally oboy. Second,
taking the horso out of tho shafts, and
turning him around in a circle until
ho is giddy, will generally start him.
Third, another way to euro a balky
horse is, placo your hand over his nose
and shut off his wind until he wants
to go. Fourth, then, again, take a
couple of turns of stout twino around
the lore legs just below the knee', tight
enough for tho horse to feel it; tie in
a bow-knot. At the first click ho will
probably go dancing oil'. After going
a short distance you can get out and
remove the string, to prevent injury to
the tendons. Fifth, again, you can
try the following: Take tho tail of
the horso between tho hind legs, and
tie it b a cord to tho saddle girth.
Sixth, tho last remedy 1 know is as
follows: Tie a string around the
horse's ear, close to head. This will
attract his attention and start him.
Mr. Phillip Ritz, of Walla Walla, es
timates tho wheat Hiirplus of the Col
umbia river basin this season at 17,

Pour tho suds, wash-wator and dish
water, etc., upon a manure pile for
making compost. Apply tho compost
to tho kitchen garden.
A good garden and a good cow will
go a long way toward cheaply supply
ing tho table of the suburban or vil
lage family with good, wholesome food.
Tomato plants will bo benefitted by
liquid fertilizers. An application onco
a week, during oarly growth, may bo
given. When tho plants aro ready for
blossoming withhold the application.
A. L. Harris, who lives near Chico,
Cal., at an elevation of 1,-100 feet, has
a number of tea plants growing on his
ranch, and they seem to do as well as
in their native land. Mr. Harris
raises and cures all the tea his family
uses.
When you dig tho early potatoes
don't leavo tho land to grow up in
weeds, but as soon as a row is dug cul
tivate till mellow, and put in. cabbage,
lato corn, or something else. Sweet
corn planted in August will make good
cow feed before frost, and if it did not
make anything would pay to plant and
cultivate it to keep tho ground clean.
Many a good crop is sometimes al
most ruined by ne'glecting to harvest
it at tho propor timo. Corn fodder bo
Cines dry and weathor beaten if al
lowed to remain too long in tho field.
Oats, buckwheat, ryo and other grain
crops waste very much if allowed to
stand after they aro ripo. Potatoes
and other root crops are often dam
aged by remaining loo long in tho
ground.
The potato onion produces no Bcod,
and no small bulbs on its stalks, in tho
manner of most of the onion family.
Its method of increase is from tho
bulb, which h nlantcd. From tho
spring tet, a number of bulbs of va
rious sizes will bo formed, beneath tho
surface of tho ground, and around the
old ono. These, toward fall, will form
I lui Nfinm as from seed, beein to swell
at tho bottom and form the onion.
Towards the fall, usually in Septem
ber, tho top bogina to change to yel
low. When this is taking placo the
bulb is ripening. When an tho lops
are dead the crop may bo taken from
tho ground, by tho hand or point of a
boo or rako. Leave them on tho
ground, subject to huh and wind, for
a nntnhnr of ilaVH. Then thoroughly
" - - -- - a
dry, trim off balance of tops and roots,
and they aro reauy lor winter storing
in any dry placo, whoro no great cold
or heat can reach them, but whoro
they can bo kept perfectly dry.
Beyond the slightly additional fast
colt every one knows,or ought to know,
that it docs not cost a dollar moro to
raieo a good horso or cow than it docs
to feed a poor ono. And yot on every
hand wo can boo calves and colta of
breeds unknown to tho herd-book bo
ing reareionly to bo sold at less than
tho coat of keeping. Take two far
mers : ono will begrudge tho $25 or $50
necessary for tho service of a good
blooded stallion and will raise colta re
quiring an original outlay of only $10
or $15. When tho colt ia three years
old it ia sold for $50 or $G0, or lcBS.and
the unenterprising farmergrowls about
tho lack of profit in stock raising, and
saya a colt cannot bo sold for enough
to pay for his feed. His neighbor how
ever, has bolter sense. Ho pays a fair
prico for the getting of a colt of good
breed, and when it reach ea maturity
lie has no trouble in selling it for any
whero from $100 to $500. Ho pocketa
his profits and naturally enough con
cludes that there are few branches of
farming which pay better than tho
rearing of woll-bred horses.
