Sour Muck on Alfalfa. 
K. IF. L., Minong, Wis .—Can you or any 
of your readers give me from actual ex¬ 
perience, and if not from experience, from 
observation and best judgment, your opinion 
as to what effect a mulch of peaty soil, sour 
of course, will have applied plentifully to 
Alfalfa, to be worked into the soil with a 
disk, to increase the supply of humus after 
a year’s use as mulch, lime having been ap¬ 
plied at rate of two tons raw rock per acre? 
Also on sour, sandy loam, well drained, 
which is better to apply to correct the acid¬ 
ity of the soil, raw limestone in size one- 
oighth-inch down to dust at the rate of two 
tons per acre, or slaked lime at the same 
rate ? 
R. N.-Y.—We offer the following as 
an opinion, only to start a discussion. 
If anyone has experience we would like 
to hear a report of it. We do not think 
the two tons of raw rock will furnish 
lime enough to sweeten that soil. We 
think it would pay to take time to com¬ 
post that black soil before it is spread 
over the Alfalfa. To put it on raw 
would, we believe, hurt the crop. For 
such a soil as you speak of we consider 
burned lime best. By that we mean 
lump lime from the kilns slaked to a 
powder by air or water. 
Canada Peas for Manure. 
J. T., Oswego, N. Y .—Last Spring I had 
some worn-out land plowed that has been 
in sod for meadow continuously for more 
than 20 years, and had it sown to rye, Al- 
sike and common Red clover mixed, but no 
good results whatever, the rye making a 
good start, but shortly thereafter it rusted 
so badly that none of it was left growing 
in the field. The clover failed to grow, ex¬ 
cepting a few scattering plants here and 
there. Later, in place and stead of what I 
intended to grow there, I had a splendid 
crop of ragweed, but I did not plow it un¬ 
der, hoping that the Fall rains might bring 
on the growth of clover; this did not hap¬ 
pen, and now ragweed is the only cover crop 
I have in this field, and that, of course in 
its dried condition. The soil runs from clay 
and sandy loam to muck loam in its lower 
part, but is light and void of humus. That 
I might not lose another year in cropping, I 
have thought of sowing this field early in 
the coming Spring to Canada peas, and 
have them plowed under as soon as possi¬ 
ble, and then plant late potatoes, late cab¬ 
bage or beans for general crop. 
Ans. —The Canada peas will be the 
best crop for your purpose. Get them 
in early—a heavy seeding. Do not 
burn off the ragweed. Plow it under 
and kill it out by later cultivation. The 
rust on the grain and the clover failure 
indicate a need of lime. We would use 
at least a ton of burned lime per acre 
when seeding the peas. If you use this 
lime do not plant potatoes; cabbage will 
do better. 
A Problem in Buckwheat Feeding. 
I raise quite large amounts of buckwheat 
and corn, and keep a dairy. I have a feeding 
problem I wish to submit for advice. Is 
ground buckwheat a good feed for milch 
cows? Would ground buckwheat and corn 
half and half be all right? Or would it be 
better to sell the buckwheat at $1.20 per 
100 pounds and buy gluten, cornmeal or 
wheat middlings at about $1.50 per 100? I 
would have to haul the buckwheat five miles 
to sell it, then haul other feed same dis¬ 
tance. v. t. s. 
Athens, Fa. 
Ground buckwheat is a cheap feed 
at $1.20 per hundred for dairy cows, 
and is relished by them as part of the 
grain ration. However, V. T. S. does 
not say what his roughage is. If it is 
not nice clover or Alfalfa hay, or some 
legume, his ration is much'too wide for 
satisfactory results. The protein con¬ 
tent in corn and buckwheat is nearly 
the same, and hence he would be in 
great need of some feed much richer in 
that element; and the purchase of either 
cornmeal or wheat middlings would not 
better matters anj 5 and they are 
higher in price. If he can exchange 
his buckwheat for buckwheat mid¬ 
dlings at a mill where this is their 
by-product in the manufacture of buck¬ 
wheat flour, he would have a feed 
much relished by the cows and very 
high in protein content, a feed nearly 
three times as rich in protein as the 
entire grain, and at but little more cost. 
With his corn, this could make up the 
other half of his grain ration, and if I 
could make the exchange, would gladly 
make the haul he mentions. Certainly 
the buckwheat middlings, gluten or 
some concentrate rich in protein is 
greatly needed for best results, especial¬ 
ly if he is not feeding heavily of some 
legume, and I infer there must be some 
allowance of stover from the large 
amount of corn grown. b. v. v.
