ALFALFA OR LUCERNE. (Medicago Sativa.) One can hardly estimate the value of Alfalfa where it succeeds, as the yield per 
acre each season is generally four or five cuttings of about two tons each. The hay is remarkably 
palatable and the feeding value has been scientifically estimated to be worth nearly twice that of the very best Timothy. Droughts 
which would either destroy or quite stop the growth of ordinary plants have no effect upon Alfalfa, as its roots penetrate to astonishing 
depths in search of moisture, and the effect upon the land is highly beneficial. Alfalfa can be sown in either fall or spring. The 
cleaner the ground, the better the stand will be, as young Alfalfa is so slender and delicate that it is easily smothered by weeds. Sow 
on deep, well-drained, good loamy land. Alfalfa will not grow on acid soils, and to correct this condition, spread 1 to 1 tons of finely 
ground lime to the acre after plowing, and a few weeks before sowing. Cutting should be done always as blooming begins. Bu., 60

mixture with other clovers and grasses. Does well on soil which is too acid or moist for other clovers. Bu., 60 Ibs. Sow 12 Ibs. to the

long cone-shaped, dark red blossoms. The stem is smaller than ra ixt r
