THE HARNESS MAN
U
In some of tlie county papers 1
hai e noticed that farmers are in-
itructed how to raise alfalfa. For
the last five years, upon my own soil
in tlie neighborhood of Bandon, I
have raised tills crop successfully,
says Mr. Pohl.
There are a few little things that
will help the alfalfa grower, pro-
viding he will see to them. First,
don't try to raise alfalfa on low',
wet soil, The roots of alfalfa by na-
ture force their way downward until
they reach water; in some cases
their roots have been found sixty
feet deep, Second, plow deep, pul-
verize the soil well, Before sowing
the seed use Nitro Culture. This
can be bought in any good seed store
and is inexpensive. Third, harrow-
ing must be done but lightly, other-
wise Borne of the seed will not sprout.
Fourth, when the plants are eight or
ten incites high, by all means cut
it; by so doing you will force tlie
growth of tlie roots downward. If
you do not make this first cutting,
or topping, tlie plant will make a
good top slow, but in one or two
years many plants will die and you
will wonder what the cause is. You
will blame tlie country, the soil or
'he seed, while it is your own fault.
Fifth, fertilize witii a good supply of
nitrogen. Potash is not needed.
One thing more, try vetch and ,
don't you forget it. Sow in Septem- |
her. half oats, then liarrow, then and
not sooner sow vetch, and harrow
once more.
By New Years, ; your
vetch in-this country« will be tall
enough to cut tlie first time; you
will have foijr cuttings. Should I you
be satisfied with three cuttings, th^
vetch will re-seed itself.

Ju'iive me good cream and I will
mate good butter," is Hie common
of cream.” Mr. (’. E Hartman, food
commissioner of Nebraska, was au
thorized to devise rules governing
Nebraska's trial month.
Missouri has been grading cream
throughout tlie southern half of the
state since early July, and the north
ern half of the state lias recently
started cream grading in all its fac
tories.
Kansas creamerymen have
lately organized an improvement as
sociation, and the first thing they
will do will be to grade cream.
No one, at least no sane person,
can deny the Justice of cream grad
ing. But how to get it is the issue
now. II. D. Wendt of Michigan has
wisely stated, “Most of us are firmly
convinced that the solving of this
problem is not a one man's job, nor
two, lint lliat it will require the con
certed efforts and co-operation eg
everyone interested in the produc
Hon of American butter."
But it means more than the co-
operation of the producers why not
let the consumers in on this? Why
not educate him to what good buttei
is, how it can be made and how nee
essary cream grading is under the
present conditions? It is of as vi
al interest to the consumer to have
jood butter as for the producer to
lecure good cream. The interests are
tilled and as legislation seems to lie
the last resort, why not enlist tin
consumer's co-operation?
Possibly you will succeed in secur
ng cream grading without Icglsla
lion. A h Mr Wendt states, coopera
tion will help. In many places much
;ood has been accomplished in using
liplomacy and by giving the patron
helpful suggestions as how to pro
duce clean inilk by having clean
ows, stables, milkers, utensils and
separators, and how to care for tin
■ream. There is also much hope ir
ho trend of modern dairying and tin
younger generation of farmers. Tin
dairy schools are teaching better am
nore scientific farming.
Persona
pride is being instilled in this newel
ty pe and the farmer of tomorrow wil
,ee a sense of justice and an impliei
iuty in cream grading.
But the fight must go on for it it
