In a remote village near the kraal a lion pursued a yearling calf at dusk under a full moon.

Sowing Alfalfa and Cucumber Culture Notes
The Kansas experiment station advises sowing twenty pounds of alfalfa seed per acre for a good stand, warns that thin sowing fails in dry or windy conditions, and recommends broadcasting with light harrowing or rolling. For best results use a press drill with mixed coarse material, drill half seed each way, avoid soaking seeds too deep. Cucumbers should be planted around May 20 in hills six feet apart with fifteen to twenty seeds per hill and thinned to four plants each. Pickle firms vary seed strains by locality and growth profitability depends on season and grower skill.
