important farm crop but unfortunately this is not the case in the maritime provinces the farmers in these provinces are quite aware of the merits of this crop but with rure exceptions any attempts to grow it have met with complete or partial failure however experimen tal work with alfalfa at the freder- icton experimental station lias dem ons tratedtfiat it can be grown suc cessfully if conditions are made favor able to its development while alfalfa prefers a rich clay loam soil it will do well on most deep -soils- provided theyareweuldxalned reasonably free of weeds and in a good state of

sow alfalfa about the middle of jane without a nurse crop if the latter method be followed the plants grow much stronger and de velop a root system more capable of resisting faeavlng the following spring pasturing newly seeded alfalfa is almost sure to prove disastrous it should go into the winter with at least ten inches of growth to hold the snow and protect the plants if it makes too much growth it should be clipped high with a mower and the clippings alloved to remain on tho ground the following spring it is well to roll tho held if there is any evidence of heaving in order thtvt the roots may become ftrm- kuled by drying winds alfalfa should be cut when one- tenth in bloom two crops may be cut at thii tage during the summer only in rare cases can a third crop be harvested under
