J. T. C., of Charlottesville, Va.t writes: "Will you kindly give me instruetions as to method of preparing land for alfalfa, time to sow seed, how to fertilize, cto. My land is well drained creek land which has been cropped with corn, wheat and grass iu rotation for a number of years." Answer: With the rotation practiced 011 your farm, your land should coutain a fair amount of nitrogen, and u fair amount of vegetable matter, and if it < has been in a hoed crop the past year, should be comparatively free of weeds and grass, an important consideration where alfalfa is to be seeded. Alfalfa is a comparatively delicate , plant during the tirst year of its growth, and it is often reported to have failed in a community, when it has I simply been choked out with weeds. It is thus important to have the land clean before using alfalfa. Summer following constitutes an excellent method of preparing land for alfalfa. It is important that you seed the alj faifa as soon as possible: in fact, It would have been better if it could huve been seeded before the tirst of ScpI tember. It is comparatively little j trouble to seed it in the fall. It is ; advisable to use about twenty pounds of well selected seed, and it is iiupor tant that you tost the seed to ascertain if it will germinate, before sowing it. A line seed bed should be prepared by plowing and harrowing, and if the sub-soil is tenacious, it will often be advisable to sub-soil, because the alj falfa plant has a tap root which strikes down deeply into the soil. The ability of alfalfa to remain on the land for a 1 i number of years is due to the wonderful development of its root system, and hence every effort should he made to prepare the soil so as to encourage root growth. Alfalfa is a legume and has the power of the other legumes of extracting nitrogen from the air through tlie bacteria which live in certain nodules which develop on its roots. As a rule, these nodules are not present in the soil, and therefore artificial inoculation becomes necessary in order to en-1 sure their rapid growth and develop-1 meat. 1'nless the bacteria are present. the nodules will not form, and nlfalla will draw on any nitrogen there may be in the soil until it i* exhausted, and then dwindle away and die. Inoculation may be accomplished in. several ways. lVrliaps the most prae-1 1 !<*a 1 is to secure a hundred pounus of well inoculated soil from a lield where alfalfa lias grown for several years. First mix this with the seed, ami supply broadcast or with a drill. A Thompson barrel seeder is a good implement to use, and the alfalfa may then he covered with a weoder. Alfalfa seeded this fall can then bo topdressed to advantage with farmyard manure in the spring, or a moderate application of nitrate of soda may be used, if farmyard manure is not available. The advantage of seeding alfalfa in the fall arises from the fact that it can be cut for hay the next summer, whereas, if needed in the spring, it has . .. 1 ?: !. ?,*o 11 W!i? TO COmtMlU Willi ?rino uuu v * ^n.. throughout ihe lirst season of its growth, and should only he clipped and not cut for hay. The clipping is to destroy weed growth and stimulate root development.--Trof. Soule. )>rtiliz?r< For GraM. T. D. *M., Martin, Tenn., writes: "What is good for timothy and herds grass to make it grow? For the past few years my grass has done very little good. The land has been in use for about eighteen years in grass, tobacco and some peas. The soil evidently needs something anu hope you can tell : me what it is. Answer: tlrass when removed from the land and sold off the farm is quite an exhaustive crop; more so than one < would ordinarily suppose, and^tlie continued growing of grass on your land j has probably exhausted the soil of I available plant food, which accounts < for the low yields now obtained. Each ton of timothy removed from the land i takes 23.2 pounds of nitrogen, 1U.C : pounds of phosphoric acid and IS pounds of potash. Each ton of red top 1 removed from the laud takes 23 pounds 1 of nitrogen, 7.8 pounds of phosphoric i acid and 20.4 pounds of potash. The i supply of available plant food in any | soil at a given time is generally not < very large; hence you see that the draft ] on your land through the period of I years mentioned in your letter by grass i and other crops -would be very heavy. I In order to get the grass to grow again : it will be necessary for you to put i some crop on tLe land during the pres- | ent year that will tend to build it up. i For that purpose there is nothing bet- I ter than eow peas, which should be : sown as soon as possible. You might I cut one crop for hay and let the balance 1 grow until the lirst of September, when : it eould be plowed under, the land : rolled and compacted to form a seed 1 News of the Day.

Before seeding the grass it will be well to make an application of 200 pounds of | per cent, acid phosphate per acre I and 100 pounds of muriate of potash, as grass draws heavily in the potash of the soil. These two fertilizing constituents may be mixed together and applied broadcast or sown with a drill whichever is most convenient. When the grass comes up a light application of nitrate of soda will prove very beneticial, say 50 pounds per acre. The next spring when the growing season opens up apply nitrate of soda again at the rate of 50 pounds per acre. If you have a supply of farmyard manure and could top dress the meadow next fall or spring it would be an excellent plan. If your land grew grass well once, its j failing to do so now is directly attributable to the heavy draft on the soil which the crops grown have made. If you will put enough fertilizing material back on your soil and rotate your crops so as to keep the land In good condition and let one crop supplement the other as in a rotation, you should have no difficulty in again growing grass.?Andrew M. Soule. < Gran* For Overflowed Land# , 0. .S. K.. Martin, Tenn.. write* "Is there any grass I can plant on overflowed land for grazing that wili beat Bermuda? Does Bermuda fatten stock ( equal to any other kind? Will white clover grow on lands that are overflowed at short intervals in fall and ! winter? When is the best lime to sow alfalfa?" Answer by Professor Soule: Trobably the very best grass you ean utilize for overflowed kind is red top, as it grows better in moist situations than any other cultivated grass, and does not mind "wet feet." as the saying goes, while such grasses as orchard grass, t;ill n:it <rrass and others would be killed out oil this kind of land. Bermuda grass would not lie injured by overilow during the season when it is dormant, though during the growing season it might hurt it somewhat, hut it is a pretty hardy grass and would, as a rule, recover unless buried very deeply under the mud or subjected to a prolonged overflow. Bermuda grass will carry about the same weight of stock as any other grass. While it limy not be quite so nutritious as some grasses, it is very nearly quat to blue grass. In fact, many who have compared the two side by side in a practical way. claim superiority for the Bermuda. but it must be borne in mind that a good many of those comparisons were made in sections of the country where blue grass docs not reach its perfection. However, Bermuda is an excellent grass for grazing purposes and will carry a large amount of stock for several months of the year, and it will certainly hold the soil and prevent washing. Alsike clover would probably be better on bottom lands subject to overflow than white clover, as it is very muck like red top in respect to moist soil!. Of course, alsike would grow fairlf well oil soils of only moderate fertility and that get comparatively dry at cer tain seasons of the year, but it does best of all on low moist bottom lands. it is as sausiaciory iur pmposes as white clover and wiii make a much stronger giowlh ou favorable soils. How to Make the Best Wheat. Select soil with humus enough in ft to keep surface from packing and baking after rains. There should be sand or silex enough to make the straw .stiff. The land should bo broken eight to twelve inches deep and harrowed until the soil is well pulverized. An acre of land would require about sue hundred pounds of ammonia, fortyfour pounds of potash and thirty-four pounds of phosphoric acid to make tifty bushels of wheat, including straw* and chaff. Most of land used for these prize crops have nearly nitrogen enough for a wheat crop. If too much is applied there will be failure. 1 We knew a farmer who applied eighty bushels of cottonseed to an acre of land that was fairly good. He made nothing but straw, and that would not stand up. We suggest that on a good pea stubble, or land with plenty if liumus, that no ammonia be applied when wheat is sown. Let the farmer apply seventy-five pounds of nutriate of potash and 1500 pounds of fourteen per cent, acid phosphate. If ammonia is needed to start a rapid growth, mix fifty to seventy-five pounds of nitrate of soda, or '200 aC nnttAncooil tnnol It will liA better to apply this mixture broadcast Jiul run a smoothing harrow over it before sowing wheat. In March if the wheat is not green and vigorous, apply ibout 100 pounds of nitrate of soda aid follow with weeder or smoothiug liarrow.?Charles Pettj*. Sharps and Fiats.
