Alfalfa Clover, or Lucerne. Every farmer should endeavor to have at least a few acres of alfalfa 
clover. With our present understanding of the crop, there should bo no difficulty in getting a 
good stand, but care must be taken in putting it in right and taking care of it afterwards. Sow in 
the spring or in August, as preferred, at the rate of 25 to 40 lbs. per acre ; see that the soil is sweet 
and well manured. If your soil does not contain the proper bacteria, it can bo obtained by 
the use of Nitro-Culture, which is described on page 54 of this catalogue. The field should bo 
cut when the plant begins to bloom, whether it is tall enough for use or not, and should bo cut 
three or four times each season. When a good stand is once secured, it will generally last from 
8 to 10 years, giving three or four crops per annum. Alfalfa Clover Ilay has no equal, ns it is 
very rich in protein and makes a balanced ration that will save the purchase of higher-priced 
foods. Price, per lb., 20c.; bush., $9.50.
