Yield* Three to Four Crops of Ha> Each Year in the Corn Belt. EXCELS EVERY OTHER CROP The Introduction of Alfalfa u a G e#v eral Farm Crop In the United State# Will Revolutionize Agriculture? - M?ant More Live Stock, Better Soil and Larger Returns From the Crops That Follow. By PROF. P. G. HOLDEN, Director Agricultural Extension Department International Harveeter Co. of New Jersey. Alfalfa Should l>e Grown , on Every Farm 1. It is a profitable crop. 2. Increases farm values. 3. Excels every other crop In yield per acre In feeding value As a drouth register As a soil eoricher. 4. No harder to grow than dover. 5. Make a beginning ?start now grow some alfalfa. Repeated experiments made by tho agricultural colleges, and the results obtained by the actual growers of al falfa In the serniairld sections of the west, throughout the corn belt states, and In the south and east, are conclu sive evidence of the great value of alfalfa There are few farmers whose profits wAuld not be increased greatly by rais ing alfalfa. Every farmer should aim to produce, as far as possible, "his foodstuffs upon his own farm. I>uring the last few years, the area devoted to alfalfa has greatly in creased in the region west of the Mis souri river, and it is certain that there will be an equally rapid in crease throughout the eastern and southern parts of the United States. Many of the attempts in the past to grow alfalfa in the humid regions have failed, but, with our present knowledge of the requirements of the crop there will be little, if any, more trouble in securing a stand Alfalfa will soon be grown abun dantly and profitably upon every farm. It is no mor?< difficult to grow than cloyer and givr-s double the yield The d*?v rooting habit of alfalfa enables :t to resist drouth when clover, tim othy. blue graijs at:-! other forage grasses <b?* fur want of moisture. Al falfa roots grow deep into the soil ? far beyond the roots of other plants. Its drouth resisting power is of no greater importance than its great value as a soil enricher. The long roots bring phosphorus, potash and oth^r plant foods from below and store them in tin* upper soil for the use of other plants Experiments show er'eatly increased \ields of other crops grown upon alfalfa sod Alfalfa is rich in protein the most essential element in feed to make bone, blood and muscle in growing ani mals. Why We Need Alfalfa. There is no cambination of feeds so economical for the production of beef, pork, mutton, butter and eggs, as corn and alfalfa. Neither will give ? he best results alone. We need alfal fa because it balances up the corn ration and saves the large waste of starch which always takes place where corn is fed alone .We need alfalfa because we can by means <t>f it grow on our own farms the protein more profitably than we can buy it in feed stuffs. We need alfalfa because it feeds the soil and. enables us to grow larger crops of corn and oats. We need alfalfa because It products on an average double the feed vaiuo l??<r acre of clover or any other forage crop. Advisable to Inoculate. In regions where alfalfa h<is not been grown it is found to be neces sary to inoculate the ground by sow ing three or four bags of soil secured from a field where alfalfa or sweet clover has been grown for a number of years; or where it ;s more convenient, artificial cul ture, such as "nitragin." "farmo germ." etc., may be applied Whore alfalfa has not been grown before it may make the difference between suc cess and failure. Alfalfa Essentials. A well prepared, firm, solid seed bed, plenty of good barnyard manure, and fallow to kill the weeds, are most important Lime? Yes. one to two toads per acre, and by alt mean? in oculate. Ground too wet for corn is not suited for alfalfa. Make a Beginning ? Start Now. Every farmer should try at least a small piece cf alfalfa and if he does not succeed at first. try again and keep on trying until he does succeed It is worth the while. If the work is thoroughly don?> and at the proper time, you will most cer tainly succeed in securing a . good stand; if the work is half done and out of season, you will just as cer tainly fail Make a be?inn int, - ? ai( now HER PLIGHTED TROTH By NELLIE CRAVEV GlLLMORE ? w Where i In* road bent Netta afclact^d a tempting tuft of gr as* and seated (lirwii upon it. depositing her numer ous i- mail packages on tho plat of green b( wir t?' lt? r FlaftlMt# of *ravht quivered iu b?r (|ictik? as Kri?son rounds the betid and drew rein. lie stood staring down at b*-r for a mpiDOiiti his hands deep 1" bin ir'out?ert? packets, then he dropped abruptly to the gratis beside her.

For a Ion* time she sa? staring in a dull way at th?* himhH, brown hand* that ha3 in voluntarily clenched themselves in her lap. A f t ?* r a while abe glanced up wltti dry, bright eyes, and held out her fingers. "Of course I wlah you <ill possible happiness," ahe aaid. *'you know that I'd better be going home no w," ahf added, In a different tone, "it Is almost dark."

"I can never give you up," he cried, brokenly, "not if a thousand vows and promises stood between!" The girl drew herself sharply from hla embrace with a audden accession of strength; I113 worda had sobered I her. "Ooodby," she said; "you must keep your troth inviolate; it ? It'a the only Seated Herself. way, Jack." She turned abruptly and i walked past hini. ! Kricson stood motionless for a mo ! merit ; then he stooped dazedly and i began to gather up the scattered i bundles. ! "You forgol these," he said, over ] taking her. "Netta," he went on In I an impassioned tone, "you must let j ino explain, "the ? that other girl ? I j have never lov?*d her! Our betrothal , was all the fool work of a lot of i people with pet schemes." * " * * ? # i | Winter apples were swinging and shivering as they swung in a cutting east wind. In the doorway of the aid-fashioned white and green cottage stood Netta 1 Before and all about her the wealth - i of trees and sh rubs stood bleak and ! stripped. j Two brilliant roses had slipped into the girl's cheeks, and the eyeB above them looked deep and dark with a radiant happiness. Her hair, black and waving, tumbled picturesquely over a smooth, white forehead. Somewhere inside the room a clock struck four,, and Netta drew in her breath with a sudden heart-beat. Sim ultaneously ca.me the sound of swift rushing wheels over the hard clay road beyond. Netta closed the heavy door behind j her and slipped softly out into the frozen air. Kricson had left his carriage at the tollgate and was coming toward her j with outstretched hands. I "Jack!" j "Sweetheart!" he cried, his arms about her. Presently ho - held her away from him to look into the wide-love-lit eyes., "I kept my troth, dear." ho said, gently. "1 know " She died a veai ago," he went on, a certain soberness coming into his voice, "and she was always happy, I am almost sure of that." The girl's gaze compelled his for one anxious moment. "She never knew? You are quite certain that she did not suspect any thing?" "Quite certain," he responded earn estly. She was a good little girl, and it was not hard to do the right thing by her, even though," he added with abrifpt fervor, "the love of my life had been given to another? Jo you." His arms went round her again and Netta hid her blood-burned cheeks. "That night," she said, presently, "when you went from me 1 felt just 1 as though one of ub had died, and yet ? " she paused, and a luminous light came into her eyes. "1 should never have married you, Jack, if you had broken your promise to her to set yourself free." "Nor could I hnvr? loved you half so well," he repllod. in an unsteady tone "had you a!!r>v>d me ro do ?o." <T".M?vr)rhf bv P^Vy S'orv Piih Co.)
