ALFALFA OR 
LUCERNE. 
Agricultural reports from the 
Northwest ocnflrm that Lucerne 
is successful in this Territory, 
and that it will become one of the 
greatest foraere plajits in cultiva- 
tion. 
Under proper management it will 
yield at least twelve tons to the acre. 
All classes of slock arc exceedingly 
fond of it. Horses will do more 
work and keep in finer condition 
than on almost any other food. It 
makes the largest quantity of the 
richest milk and butter. 
The roots are so lonj^ and grow so 
decp.frost cannot heaveorthrow them 
out in winter. One sowing will stand 
for ten years, and, instead of impover- 
ishing the soil, enriches it. As a fertil- 
izing and land-enriching crop it has 
no equal. It is verily making the des- 
ert blossom like the rose. Grows <n; 
the thinnest sandy soil, and thrives in 
the greatest drought. 
The best method is to sow broad- 
cast about 15 lbs. per acre, where the 
land is in good condition, but on very 
weedy hind or clean gravel or sand 
that is very poor, put about three 
pounds more. You cannot get any 
crop from it the first year, but do not 
get discouraged if the plants arc on 
an average of ten inches apart, little, 
slim, single stems, about four or six 
inches high. Your prospect is good 
that you will get four tons per acre 
next year, and the next it will be as 
good as ever it will, and stand that 
way for ten years. It is best to sow 
with grain. Oats are the best; thws 
you will lose no time, but can have a 
crop from your land every j'car. In 
fact, it does better to have it shaded 
when young. Sow at the same time 
that you do spring grain. Sixty 
pounds to the bus^.el. Lb. Ufl e., bushel
