START RIGHT TO GET
GOOD ALFALFA CROP
Alfalfa hay is a substantial help in
getting good milk production with a
minimum of purchased protein feed,
says County Agent J. D. Hutchison.
Most alfalfa is now grown as a sub-
stitute for clover in the rotation; he
explains. Any time that is satisfac-
tory for sowing clover seed is equally
good for alfalfa, In dry summers al-
falfa seedings often survive where
clover burns out. - Alfalfa seed . costs
no more than clover seed and no more
per acre is required.
Alfalfa requires a sweet soil. Some
farmers have soils sweet enough or
could easily make them so. ‘The coun-
ty agent is glad to test soil samples
to see if lime is needed and the
amount required.
Inoculation is almost invariably nec-
essary when alfalfa is first sown, but
this is simple and easy and costs noth-
ing if the soil and seed method is
used. In the southern counties, Kan-
sas or Nebraska seed seems satisfac-
tory. North of these southern coun-
ties, up to and including the central
counties, Northwestern common seed
seems hardy enough. In the northern
counties, Grimm or Canadian Varie-
EE — worry ime
gated is hardier and may be advisable
though more expensive.
The safest plan at the start is to
sow a few quarts each of clover and
timothy with the alfalfa to
against failure, Hutchison
Three or four quarts of alfalfa mix-
alone, is ample for a good stand.

“GROW HEALTHY
CHICK CAMPAIGN”
Many states, through their Exten-
sion Service, are advocating and sup-
porting definite practices in poultry
growing which will reduce losses in
chicks and improve the quality of pul-
lets grown.
The Extension Division of the Poul-
try Department of Purdue University
has been pushing a Grow Healthy
Chick Campaign for over
with remarkable and practical
sults. The following are the recom-
mendations put out to chick growers
who will enrell in a definite campaign
to produce better chicks.

RESTO! No rabbits jump
P trom your hat, no eggs drop
out of purple silk handker-
chiefs, nor captive maidens disap-
pear from trunks. But it’s some-
thing of a stunt, just the same, to
give a simple twist of the wrist
to two cans and produce a Down
East. Clam Chowder, savory
enough to suit an old salt, or a
homesick family from Gloucester.
Here is the Trick
Ready? Then roll up your
sleeves to prove there aren’t any
live clams tucked away up there;

some kinds contain twenty-one

of soft shell clams. Toss the two
together in a saucepan, simmer
gently and serve Down East Clam
Chowder with pilot crackers and
no apologies.
And next, if you’ll step right up,
ladies and gentlemen, we’ll put in
a can of corn and a can of toma-
toes, and some cream sauce, and
pull out a genuine Creole soup.
With three tablespoons of butter,
three tablespoons of flour and
three cups of milk we make the
white sauce. Now we toss to-
gether a cup of canned corn and
a cup and a half of canned toma-
toes. stew them for tem minutes,
press through a sieve and add the
white sauce. Shake in a little
salt and pepper, serve with toasted
crackers—and here you are—a
corking good Creole soup!*
3. Clean House—All dirt
and the house and utensils scrubbed
with boiling hot lye water one pound
of lye to 20 gallons of boiling water.
4. Clean Litter—Straw, planer shav-
ing, crushed corn cobs, or other mat-
erial which will not encourage chicks
to eat off the floor, which will dry
removed
up and cover droppings, and which
can be easily and cheaply replaced at
least once .a week.
5. Clean Feed—Feed a
and balanced ration in hoppers which
will prevent the feed from
scratched on the floor, where it can
become contaminated with droppings
6. Clean Management — Avoid over-
crowding, which increases the dangers
of disease, “piling up” and cannibai-
ism; remove cockerals when 10 weeks
old; avoid tracking material from your
own hen yard or your neighbor's into
the brooder house or chick range,
