THE GROWING OF ALFALFA.
Some Valuable Suggestions as to How
Tliis Crop May Kc Made Profitable
in South Carolina.
Having been a contsant reader of
your valuable paper for some time I
desire to submit, in a brief and prac?
tical way, my experience in growing
alfalfa hay for the past two years.
Preparation of Soil: The essentianl
feature in grawing alfalfa is to have
a thoroughly prepared seed bed. This
may be done by broadcasting cow peas
on the land a few months before alfal?
fa is planted. The cow pea, owing to
its quick growth, will soon shade the
land, prevent na ave grasses and weeds
from growing. Alfalfa requires hu?
mus and a deep soil.
The land should be prepared by
deep and thorough plowing, to enable
the roots to penetrate the soil.
The land should be well pulverized,
by harrowing, before the seed are
sown. Whatever treatment the land
is given in preparation for this crop it
should be such as to . afford a deep,
mellow seed bed, as free as possible
from crab grass and weeds.
Commercial fertilizers maj* be ap?
plied ty harrowing in at the time that
the land is being pulverized previous
to seeding. It would not be advisa?
ble to use barn yard manure on land
previous to seeding alfalfa: while the
manure would improve the physical
condition of the soil, it would aid the
weeds in choking out the alfalfa. Barn
yard manure may be applied the third
year, and in each year afterwards, be?
cause there will then be less danger
of the alfalfa being choked out by
weeds.
Sowing the Seed: Having put the
seed bed in the very best possible con?
dition, the alfalfa seed should be sown
in drills 14 to IS inches apart, the first
week in October. Alfalfa sown broad?
cast will certainly prove a complete
.failure in this locality. There are two
reasons why alfalfa should be plant?
ed in October; the first to enable the
plant to withstand the following win?
ter, second, to enable it to escape the
intense mid-summer heat and drought.
The amount of seed should be 20 to 25
pounds per acre. The stand must be
thick enough to enable the crop to
withstand the weeds that would other?
wise take possession of the land. Af?
ter seeding the land should be rolled,
in order that the'alfalfa may come up
uniformly.
Cultivation.
Cultivation is one of the essential
features of growing alfalfa. Unless it
is cultivated" with absolute thorough?
ness the first year it is useless to at?
tempt to grow this plant.where the
land is infested with crab grass and
weeds. ' This cultivation may be done
with a small scrape for the fisst two
years. The third year and afterwards
the cultivation may be done with a disk
harrow drawn by two horses. Set the
harrow to run just deep enough to de?
stroy the weeds and cultivate the
alfalfa.
Harvesting:.
Alfalfa hay when cut at the proper
time, and well cured, has a feeding
value superior to any forage crop
grown in the South. The harvesting
season for this locality is from the
middle of April until October. It
should be cut for hay as soon as it
comes into bloom, and if allowed to
stand until full bloom the leaves will
drop off.
Feeding Value.
Alfalfa hay can be fed profitably to
all kinds of farm stock. My practical
experience feeding this crop, both
green and dry, for the past two years,
has been entirely satsifactory, and 1
can safely recommend this plant to be
relished by all kinds of farm stock.
Last year I cut 6 1- 2tons of dry ham?
per acre, valued at $120 per ton-$130.
Why not reduce your cotton acreage
and plant a few acres pf this valuable
hay crop?
?Don't tie a cough or a cold up in
your system by taking a remedy that
binds the bowels. Take Kennedy's
Laxative Honey and Tar. It is differ?
ent from all other cough syrups. It iz
better. It opens the bowels-expels
ail cold from the system, relieves
coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough,
etc. An ideal remedy for young and
old. Children like it. Sold by all
druggists.
MURDER IN BAMBERG.
Bamberg. April ll.-A young white
man by the name of Cutter was kill?
ed at Midway, in this county, last
night about 12 o'clock, there being
two negroes implicated. One of these
negroes is in jail, while the other has
not yet been caught.
Cutter, who was almost 21 vea rs of
age. is said to have been the only son
of a widowed mother, who lives near
St. George. He was at Midway with a
dog and pony show, having joined that
company only a few days previous to
his death.
?Don't drug the stomach to cure a
cough. One Minute Cough Cure cuts
the mucus, draws the inflammation
out of the throat, lungs and bronchial
tubes, healsoothes and cures. A
quick cure for croup and whooping
cough. Its constantly increasing use
for many > ?ars tells of the fact of its
absolute usefulness. Sold by all drug?

SUMMER HEALTH NOTES.
Seasonable Suggestions by the Health
Officer.
Now, and from now on, during the
j entire warm months, is the time to
clear up your premises of all empty
cans, bottles, old pots, and every oth
.er useless thing which holds water in
which mosquitoes may breed.
While not generally known, never?
theless it is a fact, that gutters on res?
idences, stores, warehouses and other
buildings, which get clogged up with
leaves hold water in which millions of
mosquitoes breed, and that loose or
sagging gutters hold water with the
seme results. Therefore clean out and
look after your gutters very often.
A half pint of kerosene oil poured
into your cesspool once every week will
prevent mosquitoes breeding there?
in. In the meantime examine the cov?
ers of all cess pools for cracks or holes.
A hole in the op of a cess pool cover
no large r than a four-penny nail ad?
mits mosquitos which begin the in?
crease of the mosquito population very
fast.
Horse and cow troughs are great
breeding places for mosquitoes. Emp?
ty these troughs every day or so and
scrub out the bottoms. Otherwise you
will notice by close observation that
there are "wiggle-tails" in the water,
and that if you merely turn in fresh
water without scrubbing out the bot
! toms of the troughs that the "wiggle
I tails" are left on the bottoms and be?
gin to grow as soon as fresh water
is turned in the trough.
Place a barrel or box of such size as
j can be conveniently carried out by
your back door, or on your back piaz?
za, and instead of throwing empty
cans, bottles and waste paper, or oth?
er refuse into the yard, throw them
into the box or barrel and then take
or have taken, the trash box or barrel
every day or several times a week to
the edge of the sidewalk where the
scavenger carts will take off the bar
1 bage and other refuse. Put out your
garbage of all kinds, except liquid
slops, every day if you like, but don't
throw it around your premises.
Remember that the scavenger carts
areshere for sanitary purposes and that
all refuse of any nature from the
house, but particularly fast decaying
garbage, should be put out daily be
' fore 10 o'clock, and sooner if possi?
ble, so that the carts can get it. Wa?
termelon rinds can be kept on the
premises for forty-eighty hours, but
not longer, and it is better to put them
out daily.
Please remember that crockery
crates, old box cars, piano boxes, dry
goods boxes which hold more than a
scavenger cart, and other large recep?
tions are not allowed for trash boxes.
Only boxes or barrels of much size
and weight as can be lifted and emp- j
tied by the cart drivers can be put out.
It is the duty of the driver to place
your empty trash box or barrel inside
your yard, and it must not be return?
ed to the street, empty or full, during i
the day, but must be put out with gar?
bage before 10 o'clock the next morn?
ing.
. ?
If you have a low place in youi !
yard or on any of your property, or a
hole, or old flower pit which holds
weter, drain it, cover it up, or kero?
sene oil kept therein will keep mosqui?
toes out.
As the scavenger carts are not
equipped with hoisting engines and
railroad derricks, it is impossible for
a cart drver to lift up and empty a
box which holds enough yard trash to
make a team of mules stall going down
a greasy hill. Put out your trash and
garbage every day or so, and you
won't have to hire a man to work by ;
the day to clean up your yard every j
now and then. . |
Don't stick your wash pot or foot
tub half way under the house wherb j
rain water can fall into it and breed 1
mosquitoes. Keep all rain barrels cov
! ered so that mosquitoes cannot get in. j
At depoTs. factories, warehouses, cot- ;
ton platforms, storage sheds, gin hous
es. cotton compresses and all places I
the water barrels kept for tire
purposes'must either be kept covered
or kerosene oil kept in the same so i
that mosquitoes will not breed therein, j
Otherwise these barrels will be turn- J
ed over and emptied so often by the i
board of health that there will not of?
ten be water enough in them to put
out a cigarette.
If your cesspool cr dry well runs
over, stop ihe use of the well,
and put plenty of lime or other disin?
fectant ar.ound the well. All cesspools
should be thoroughly disinfected each
week with a standard disinfectant, and
kerosene oil. Have your well cleaned
nut if it gets full. Remember that an
overflowing dry well scatters disease
through flies lighting on the overflow
and carrying the germs of disease
from the well to the houses by light?
ing in your milk and on your food.
Keep your milk and food carefully
proteceted from flies, and protect
yourself from mosquito bites, and over
half the battles of health have been
fought and won.
Separate your garbage from your
dish water and other liquid matter
from your kitchen, and put <>ut your
garbage every flay for the scavenger
carts to haul off.
TOBACCO TRADE'S EXPCiiiC
Affair Aili lUii.k Amon? i.-. ..iws? ??t
teresting Imiustiial ?J.v;i..>iis.
Much interest has already been
manifested by manufacturers and
dealers in cigars and tobacco, and by
growers of leaf tobacco in the United
States, Cuba and Porto Rico, in the
Tobacco Trades Exposition to be held
in Madison Square Garden, Xew York,
next September.
I
s One of the strongest features of the
Exposition, and one which will be de?
cidedly educational, is a progressive
display of tobacco from the several
tobacco growing districts of the United
States and the islands, showing the
weed in various stages of cultivation,
and also how it is housed and cured
before reaching the hands of the pack?
ers and manufacturers.
The Exposition Company will award
through a jury, medals of gold, sil?
ver and bronze for the best showing
! of tobacco in this exhibit; also for the
relative merits of the several kinds of
cured leaf.
Applications are already at hand for
entrance in this branch of the Expo?
sition from Cuba and Porto Rico, and
these contestants will show how the
leaf is handled in the tropics, together
with dwellings of the natives, and the
present day cigar factories.
Xo effort will be spared by the Ex?
position Company to make this an
epoch-marking affair. All conveniences
will be provided exhibitors and the
j general visiting public. Provision has
j also been made for the designing and
building of the booths, which work is
in charge of M. Bloom, a Xew York
j architect.
An Angry Juror Expressed Himself.
If jurors were allowed to speak out
in court they would at times say
tubings to lawyers and judges that
would cause a stir. In Meckienberg
superior court last week the case of B.
! E. -and C. E. Mason against Williams
& Wright, in which the plaintiffs sued
for $25 on account of the alleged fail?
ure of the defendant to fulfill a con?
tract, was tried. The defendant offer
ered evidence but the plaintiffs offered
none, and Judge Bryan instructed the
jury that if it believed the evidence it
would answer the first issue "yes,"
which would allow the plaintiffs no
damages. The jury on the contrary an?
swered the issue "no," awarding the
plaintiffs the full amount sued for.
Judge Bryan set the verdict aside and
ordered a new trial. Ey agreement of
counsel it was decided not to try the
case at the present term. Judge Bur
well, who appeared for the defense,
said he had never before known "a
jury of good Mecklenburg people to
render a verdict, not only against the
weight of the evidence, but against all
the evidence in the case and the in?
structions of the court. ? don't care
to have that jury sit on any case that I
professionally appear in or am person?
ally interested in."
Counsel for the plaintiff said he
could understand why the jury had
returned the verdict it was because
they didn't believe the evidence. Then,
says the Chronicle, from which we get
this report, Juror T. P. Ross got to his
feet and asked permission to say a few
words: "I want to say," he said, "that
every one of the jurymen were of the
same opinion, and didn't believe the
evidence, and, I for one, don't believe
it this morning.
"Now," said Mr. Ross, dramatically,
"I want to say that Judge Burwell has
insulted the entire jury by the remarks
that he has just made about them,
and-"
"That'll do, that'll do. Sit down,"
ordered Judge Bryan. And this end?
ed the incient-Stateville Landmark.
