two crops can be cut In the fall after 

 sowing In the spring, and during the 

 next season two or three crops may be 

 cut. Unless cut early the steins become 

 hard and woody, and in all cases care is 

 necessary in handling in order to prevent 

 the loss of leaves, which readily drop 

 from the stems. Excellent hay may be 

 made by sowing it on lands which have 

 been set In Johnson grass, the mixture 

 seeming to improve the palatability of 

 either one. " Under such cultivation 

 as much as three cuttings to the acre and 

 two tons for each cutting have been 

 made. 



Further points regarding this plant 

 are these : " As a restorative crop, for 

 yellow loam and white lime lands, this 

 plant has no superior, and for black 

 prairie soil It has no equal. The roots 

 are very long, penetrating the soil to a 

 depth of three or four feet, are quite 

 large, and by their decay at the end of 

 the second year leave the soil with in- 

 numerable, minute holes which act as 

 drains to carry off the surplus water 

 and loosen the soil so that the roots of 

 other crops can go deeper, find more 

 abundant supplies of food, and bear 

 drought better. While the hay from this 

 plant will not sell as well as that from 

 lespedeza, the crop is heavier, furnishes 

 pasture earlier in the spring, and is by 

 far the most valuable crop we have for 

 a natural fertilizer. Seed should be 

 sown in August or February at the rate 

 of half a bushel- per acre.'" 



Melilotus alba is not generally much 

 known among us yet, but properly han- 

 dled It Is a success, having special fitness 

 for some situations, and deserving in 

 most places to be at least made the sub- 

 ject of careful and inielligent experi- 

 ments. — Home and Farm. 



Bees Did Well 



Bees have done well here this season. 

 I will get between 800 and 1,000 

 pounds of honey. I sold the first yester- 

 day at 1.5 cents per section. I bad 20 

 colonies of bees last spring.

Bee-Keeping in Indian Territory. 



Bees are doing fine this weather. I 

 transferred my 10 colonies in early 

 spring into b-frame Dovetail hives, and 

 prevented swarming by using supers. 

 My bees did better this year than ever 

 before. 



The old Bee Journal comes regularly 

 every week. I am always glad when 

 Friday comes. Long may it and Its edi- 

 tor prosper. 



I have to hire all my work done about 

 my bees. My brother does It, and I do 

 all the scheming. I work for a grocery 

 firm from l> in the morning to 9 at night, 

 so you see 1 have no time to work with 

 bees. I workt in the mines before I 

 started to work here. I could take a 

 day off once In awhile then and attend 

 to my bees, but now it is work every 

 day but Sunday. Robt. Wh.liamson.
