Germination of
Alfalfa Seeds
There Are Present in All
Lots Two Types of Ker-
nels: Hard and Soft.
The germination of alfalfa seeds
shows that there are present In prac-
tically all lots two types of live seeds,
The first type absorbs water and
germinates readily In a few days; the
other type has a hard seed coat which
prevents immediate absorption of wa-
ter and hence delays germination.
These hard seed coats gradually soften
and permit germination. Tests con-
tinued over a long period of time In
the Colorado seed laboratory show
that practically one-half of the hard
seeds germinate In three months and
practically all of them In six months
when kept under ideal conditions for
germination in an incubator,
There has been carried on and is
now being continued much Investiga-
tional work In an effort to find the
causes of the hard seed coat and the
agricultural value of such seeds. The
most comprehensive plece of work
which has been completed at the pres-
ent time seems to show that it Is rea-
sonable to regard approximately one-
third of the hard seeds reported at the
end of six days as properly belonging
to the germination per cent, This is
based on actual fleld work.
There {8 some reason to believe that
methods of threshing alfalfa seed re
duce the hard seed per cent, since
seed harvested by hand this fall and
tested In the laboratory has 65 per
cent of hard seed while machine
threshed seed from the same vicinity
has approximately 20 per cent of hard
seed.
It Is characteristic of alfalfa seed
Imported from Turkestan to have prac-
tically no hard seeds, those imported
from Europe to have a comparatively
small per cent, while seeds Imported
from South America and Africa vary
much as do those grown In North
America,
A lot of seed containing a high per
cent of live seed, even though some
of them are hard seeds, Is superior to
a lot having the same germination but
ao hard seed.—Anna M. Lute, Colorado

tural College,
Lack of Ventilation Is
Quite Harmful to Bees

specialist at Clemson college, In dis

put on a super with full sheets of
foundation; and If they don't need an
extra super, prop the hive up at the
four corners with blocks about a half-
inch thick. This will give a door all
the way round and will let the alr cir.
culate In the hive much more freely
When bees are hanging out on the
front of the hive they are doing noth-
ing but loafing, but If you can get
them into the hive they will help evap-
orate the water out of the honey.
If the hive is In the sun all day, It
Is a good idea to make a shade board
This may be done hy taking rough
planks which are a little longer than
the hive and leaning them on top of
the hive so that they will break off
the sun,
Destroying Grasshoppers
The use of polson bran mash Is the
most effective and practical method
for destroying grasshoppers. This
bran mash Is composed of twenty
pounds of bran, one pound of white
arsenic, two quarts of sirup, three
oranges and three and one-half gallons
of water. The bran and arsenic are
mixed together while dry. The other
ingredients are mixed together and
when ready to use In the field the two
mixtures are united and thoroughly
stirred. This polson bran mash is
sown broadcast over the area where
the hoppers are bad, the above form-
ula being sufficient for about five acres.
Why Butter Is Washed
Washing the butter has for its ob.
ject the removal from the butter of as
much of the buttermilk as possible.
The churn should be stopped when
the butter granules are the size of
wheat kernels. The buttermilk is then
drawn off and the butter washed with
an equal quantity of clear water at
the same temperature as the butter-
milk. The churn Is revolved eight or
ten times with the wash water and
the water drained. The washing should
be repeated.
Pasturing Sweet Clover
Sweet clover may be safely pas-
tured In its second season from two to
three weeks earller than any other of
the common pasture plants. It will
carry a tremendous burden—-more
than any other of odr pasture plants.
Therc Is more danger of not keeping
enough stock on it than overpasturing
it. In its first season it will carry 2.-
000 pounds live weight to the acre and
will, of course, carry much more the
second,
Inoculation of Alfalfa
To inoculate alfalfa after it Is sown
use soll that carries the bacteria. This
you can get from an old alfalfa or
sweet clover fleld. The soll must not

this kills the bacterin, It 1s best to ap-

‘Give Chicks Proper
Care During Summer
——————
Prevent Overheating by Ex-
posure to Sun’s Rays.
In extremely hot weather special
care Is necessary to prevent chicks
from belng overheated by exposure to
the sun, confinement where ventilation
Is bad, or overcrowding.
Skim milk, either sweet or sour,
and buttermilk are especially valuable
feed In hot weather, making the diet
lighter without reducing its nutritive
value. The milk should be fed In a
drinking fountain or In a dish covered
with wire netting so that the chicks
cannot get Into it and become soiled
with milk. The use of milk does not
do away with the use of water, which
should be given as usual.
Some hens are loafers and can be
found and removed from the floor by
culling. This practice eliminates hens
of low vigor and lessens chances of
disease outbreak. Removal of the poor
producers allows more room for the
better producers and for the pullets.
Often more eggs can be secured from
flocks, better fed and housed.
Culling the hens for egg production
should be done during the period from
July 15 to October 1.

Clipping Kills Alfalfa
