f r WINTER COVER CROPS As per your request, I "will write an article for your paper on the sub ject of winter cover crops, beginning with alfalfa. The first thing: to be considered is the right kind of land. The land must lie well-self dra.ned, with a Jhj sulstil.

A good seed bed should be made by cutting and running a smoothing harrow ur.til you have a good smooth seed bed. Seed. Twenty pounds of alfalfa seed well inoculated, should be sown to an acre. The seed should be sowed early in the morning, or late in the afternoon, 11 the sun is shining. The best plant is to sow the seed on a cloudy day. After the seed has been sown, run smoothing harrow over the surface, then a heavy roller and the alfalfa will come up and be able to stand the drought. Clover. We will Cake up three kinds of clo ver, namely: the red, All Sask and Sapling. All of those could be treated alike. It would be best to row peas or soy beans on the land in June or July. Land should be broken deep and one ton of lime cut into the land before sowing the peas or beans. Land should he well drained. .Wet lands will not grow these clovers. The peas and soy beans should be well in oculated. Tike ' peas should be sown not later than July. Aboot the mid dle of September, cut off the hay, cut the land well with cut-a-way harrow, and cut another ton of lime per acre into the land. Then bow 15 poinds of clover seed well inoculated to the acre. Seed should be sown on a cloudy duy or early or late in the day, if the sun in shining. After sowing the seed run a smoothing harrow over the land and follow with heavy roller. By carrying out this process the land will hold moisture. Annual Clovers. There arc two kinds of annual clo ver, namely: The Red and White. Now the best clover for the South is crimson and white, blooming (or an nual clovers, as they are called.) The crimson clover or red, is two weeks earlier than the white. Both of these clovers can be sown with oats without anything else with them, or they can be sown with oats, rye and wheat if desired. The red clover is too early for any oats exvept the Birdie oats, or the Apple eats. Rye can be sown with Red blooming clover and both cut together by cutting to head. The clover will be ripf alwiit the tim- when (he rye is about hfa.! !. The White clover can be down all right with rust proof oats, and cut both while the oats are in a dough state. Either of these clovers can be sown with hairy vetch and oats by sowing the kind of oats as above men tioned. Preparation of Land For Clover. The land should be sowed in peas, or soy beans, not later than the 10th of July. Land should be broken deep, well harrowed and sowed in peas or beans after the hay is cut in Septem ber, not later than the 15th. Cut the land with a cut-a-way hanrow, run smoothing harrow over it then sow clover seed. The seed should be well inoculated before sowing. If desired, oats can be sown wiWi the clover either with a driH or broadcast, but the oats must be cut ints the ground with cut-a-way harrow. The same rule applies to vetch. After the oats or vetch is sown, a smoothing harrow must be run over the land before sow ing the clover. After clover seed is sown, then run the smoothing harrow over the land again, then run a heavy roller over the land. Amount of Clover Seed Per Acre; Also Hairy Vetch and Oats. t Two bushels of oats per acre. Fifteen pounds of hairy vetch per acre. Twenty pounds of clover, either of the above varieties, per acre. The clover and vetch seed should be well inoculated. Either of these clovers can be sown without anything else and can stand until ripe and good seed can be saved from it. From 20 to 30 bushels per acre can be saved. There are several ways to save seed, enough to strip off the seed from the head. Cut while dew is on early in the morning, rake and pile, haul and stack, or put into barns, the latter is the best. After the clover is well dried, then stir thor oughly and the seed will come off easily. Another way of saving clover eed is by use of a machine ior the purpose.

For winter pastures, red clover, rye, oats, all sack, and sapling clover can be sown together in September and after Cristmas hogs can be turned in on same any time except when the land is too wet By sowing two lots, So he would force himself to 6mile. Some one would smile back. He would feel better. The more he smiled the more peo ple smiled back and the brighter the world grew. Presently he forgot about the gloom.

Nothing ever teems to bother him." i Snmotimes thev Wondered witat A worse trial was on the way to the man. One that was a part of his very being, the blossom of his life, the hope of the future, was suddenly swept out of the world. He felt ns if all the forces of life turned against him. He trembled in an anguish of grief and fear. But the practice of years helped him. He must not think of himself now. There was some one else far more important whose grief must be greater. So he tried to forget about himself. Once more he realized the beauty in the divine mystery of loss. He had not less life now, but more. He felt a closer relation with life, the life about him and the life in his own heart. Suffering was making his love finer and deeper. Often people used to wonder. They knew that the man had not won any of the things the world considered the prizes of life. He had suffered disappointment and bereavement. And yet he met life smilingly, gaily. When the man grew older he still looked young. There was youth in his smile and in his eyes and in re- sponse to the demands of the day. nuts, sweet potatoes or sorghum. jwouM fc when the big tr;Bi6 These crops will be ready for hogs Tby didn't understand that every during the latter part of September. 1 'of h-g Kfe be WB prarticing to By this process, good pastures can be ' . . i,;-- arranged the year around. A good The firfit came the man in the thing to sow in your fall pasture is of fl great appoint,. He ture nor will it hurt clover or other grasses. I There is another grass and one oth er clover which 1 want to mention. The Bermuda Grans and Burr Clover. These can be sown together for hogs. The clover will feed in winter and the Bermuda in the summer. Now a word on this kind of pas ture. Without good pastures, means to be without stock. If you want bet ter hogs, you must have better pas tures the year round, and by sowing Burr clover and Bermuda grass you can have better hogs and better stock. Directions For Preparing The Land For These Crops. It would be well to sow in peas or soy beans in summer as instructed about the other grass crops. 1 would advise that all the hays that grows from tl.c peas and soy bcMis be plowed in some time in September or enrich the land for these grass crops. Now the way to get Bermuda grass is to cut root and run it in the cut ting knife and cut the root about one inch long anil scatter it over the ground and sow Burr clover at the rate of about 15 pounds of seed per acre, then run smoothing harow over the land, following with a he;vy roll er. Now other clovers can be sowed in this same lot of land, say red clover, all sacked and sapling. This will give you a permanent pasture the year round. The clover will feed hogs throught winter and Bermuda grass through the summer. By carrying out these instructions you will enrich your land, grow bet ter creps, and have better stock. J. D, FLETCHER, in Fayetttvilie Index. v j yv had expected to do something wonder ful. It would bring him honor and reward. And he couW share it all with those he loved. But just when he thought it was his it eluded him. And he saw that it would never return. There are some people who turn gray, but who do not grow Hoary, whose faces are furrowed but not wrinkled, whose hearts are sore wounded in may places, but are not dead. There is youth that bids de fiance to age, and there is kindness which laughs at the world's rough usage. These are they who have turned good for evil, not haviag learn ed it as a lesson of righteousness, but because they have no evil in them to return upon others.
