Fanners' Union Ruta Baga Tnrnlpfi and Alfalfa. The reason why we associate these two crops is because the character of the soil and the preparation of the land and fertilizer for both are very similar until time comes to sow seeds. After broadcasting stable and otber manure over stubble land turn the whole under as deep as possible, smooth surface and then roll or run smoothing board over. This packing down smooth preserves the moisture ana cauHes an ioui ?eeu tu epiuui mau is near the surface. Kepeat this harrowing and rolling every eight to twelve days until time to plant. This cultivation with harrow and following with roller destroys weed seed, (the great enemy of both crops,) and at the same time fines the soil and = brings the moisture up to the surface where the young plants need it. If commercial fertilizers are to be used this should be applied by harrowing in about a week before planting the seed. As to how much fertilizer to apply I could not advise without knowing the land, But it is safe to state that the deeper preparation of the soil the more fertilizer can be used and less on shallow soil as the amount of humus or rotted leaf mold in the soil governs the amount of moisture stored there for the use of plants in dry weather, it is never safe to apply a large quantity of commercial fertilizers to to lands destitute of humus and depend entirely upon rainfall to supply the necessary moisture continuously at proper intervals to dissolve plant food for the plants as needed. We have had good resiilts with say 400 pounds high grade acid phosphate, 100 pounds kainit, and 200 pounds cotton meal per acre. Wood ashes, lime or land plaster are in many cases cheaper and do better than kainit, but more pounds should be used. If lime . plaster or ashes are used this should ho onnllcH At. Hmp of hrpflbincr t.hp Innri SeediDg Turnips: Mark of rows 20 to 30 inches wide, about one and a half or two inches deep, drill in the seed, and cover by rolling ^ common wheelbarrow once or twice in furrow. This packing the seed down in the moist soil in the bottom of the trench out of danger from scorching sunshine insures a good stand and permits working in a little loose dirt about the young plants that gives additional protection from scorchingsunshine. Cultivate with a very light small weeder or harrow at first, finishing up with larger cultivators. Thin out to width of common hand hoe. In the Piedmont section planting may be done from middle of August to mid die of September. The later plantings are less woody, more nutritious and keep better through the winter. Bank as you would potatoes. Planting Alfalfa or Lucerne Seed: If you have the soil in fine telth and comparatively free from weed seed, as will be the case if you have commenced preparing the soil in time, there is no doubt in my mind that thick broadcast seeding is preferable to seeding in the drill. The only advantage in drill seeding is that it permits the killing of weeds and grass by cultivating after planting, dnd my experience Is that if cultivating is com menned after nlantinc that it must be kept up at great cost or weed seed will keep on coming, and eventually choke out the alfalfa during some rainy spell. In the Piedmont belt seeding is best done in September to last of October. Sow seed on smooth, loose soil, and Eress in the soil with a roller. If you ave no roller a smoothing board will do fairly well to press the seed in if done just right. About Inoculation: Wherever plenty of stable manure is applied new, or has been used in considerable quantity during last few years, you need ot worry about inoculating; your lunarrtu a/ill nnt ncaH ancthlnn rvf tViaf sort. But where commercial manures are used on land of uncertainty as to inoculation, no doubt about it being eafer to have the seed inoculated by a by a reliable firm, where inoculated Boil cannot be obtained at reasonable cost. Caution.- Now there is a great deal of rot, passing around through the sterotype press these days that no donbt leads the novice into the delusion that the mere seed sown on almost any soil will misteriously bring forth a wonderful crop, all brought about by the magic properties in the seed alone. - Any one possessed of a reasonable amount of common horse sense; ought to know that unless the stuff it takes to grow alfalfa, is there available and in the right preparation in the soil,you need not expect the seed to gather up eomethiug from the soil that is hot Available in the soil. Perhaim the writer baa lost more money on alfalfa during tbe last 35 years than all other seed combined, simply from tbe lack of experience we now have. A good rich loose clay loam of all soils is best for Alfalfa. Any old salt lands tbat bave been manured heavily for years a make a fine Boil for AlJalfa. Alfalfa ^ roots goes down deep into tbis ground and utilizes tbe rich salts tbat bave c leached and gone too deeep in the soil to be reached by the roots of ordinary crops. Good crops of Lucern or Alfalfa and Ruta Baga turnips furnish all 1- stock and poultry on tbe farm with good nutritious and healthy and suculent food the year round. All stock love Alfalfa, either green or in hay. Many years back our minister to France?Gen. Davie ?stated that in portions of that country the poor people used atfd eat this Lucerne or Alfalfa as greens. From early in tbe fall until late in tbe soring all stock, poultry and peo pie enjoy turnips and* when the last of March comes, Lucerne is ready to take the place of winter turnips for all stock, aDd keep this food supply going IT again until turnips come again in the j[ fall. For winter feed for hogs, turnips and cotton seed boiled together at the rate of one lb. cotlon seed to four lbs. of turnipB make a fiue food for bogs, a In order to learn hogs to eat this ration mix in a little bran or meal to start with, then gradually take out the meal and bran. In feeding Alfalfa lo bogs or young colts and calves cut it when young and tender; we commence cutting a patch [sown last fall] close to the barn this year 5th of Mar. _ It was then from 10 to 14 inches tall, and will continue to cut this patch about once every 30 to 35 days which at will give a growth of not less than 60 inches during the year. Do not try to er grow this crop unless you do it right. ?y io " ' r iy Vnw is t.hfi time to naint JJ Use "Masury's," the painters ~ cry for it.
