Alsyke Clover. no lOther Clover capable of 40. ALFALFA or LUCERNE—.1M7''pai7o satlva—There withstanding so much dry weather and flourish andi keep gre«n during long protracted droughts as the Alfalfa. The roots go down very deep in suitable soils, from 6 to 15 feet, and more in melliow, sandy soil. It is extensively grown already in parts of the country where long droughts prevail, and which are known as the arid regions of the West. Here it will flourish and yield abundant crops when once established. It is also adapted and will succeed in about every part of the United States. Here in Minnesota it has been grown for years already, and seed has been produced from it. It also does well in Montana. It is best adapted to sandy and loamy soils with a mellow, deep or porous subsoil. The nature of the surface soil is not of so much consequence as that of the subsoil, as the roots cannot pene- trate hard or stiff clay. TTie ground should be naturally draihed, as it will not flourish when the subsoil holds water for a prolonged period at any season of the year. It is adapted for hay and pasture, and especially for soiling uses, as it furnishes .3 and more cuttings during the year. When used for pasture it shjould not be so very closely cropped. It should be tried by every farmer in this country where the soil is at all suitable. Owing to its ability to grow in dry weather and withstand long and protracted droughts, it will be found very valuable. Lucerne or Alfalfa is easily cultivated, much the same sus Red Clover.
