THE IRRIGATION AGE.

Do not let your land become flooded in the 

 winter. Through an oversight the gate in our dam 

 was left open, and a chinook happening at that time, 

 snow water poured into the ditches and on to the 

 land on which a coating of ice formed and killed 

 every plant so covered. 



Ordinarily two cuttings for the season may be 

 had with an average of four tons per acre. 



Alfalfa is relished by young stock of all kinds, 

 and is especially good for cattle, sheep and pigs. 

 If work horses are fed on it the oat ration should 

 be cut down fully one-half. A convenient though 

 somewhat wasteful way to feed it is to make a V- 

 shaped feeder capable of holding two or three tons. 

 If you have plenty of water and salt in addition 

 to your hay, your stock will come through the 

 winter in excellent condition and be ready for the 

 block in the spring. 



The burden of alfalfa growing should not fall 

 altogether on the shoulders of the farmer. On the 

 back part of the lot of the average householder, 

 there is often an unsightly and unsanitary piece of 

 ground which could be made to produce sufficient 

 alfalfa when cured to cause the hens of that man 

 to sing songs of praise, and in the winter add to 

 his wealth eggs at the rate of 60 cents the dozen. 



If every farmer and stockman in Canada would 

 grow ten acres of alfalfa and it will grow in every 

 province from the Atlantic to the Pacific in place 

 of importers, we should be exporters of meats, and 

 add thereby to the country's wealth, besides plac- 

 ing within the reach of everyone cheap and good 

 food. What if there is considerable work in grow- 

 ing alfalfa, and one is tired after a day's work?
