Agt.) New that the season is almost over for the seeding of grass and clover, may we turn our thoughts to the pos sibility of sowing an acre or two of j winter hay crops to be harvested ' early next summer. Such crops will furnish several tons of good feed just at a time when the old barn loft will be about empty. If possible, select good ground, where potatoes have been grown makes a very good place to sow the following mixture, wheat, 4 to 6 pecks; barley, 4 to 6 pecks; vetch, 15 to 20 pounds, and if they can be had. 15 to 20 pounds <f Austrian winter peas will im prove the mixture. Sew all this on , tv >uie. Seeding should be done just as soon as possible in order to git a good root growth before real cold weather arrives. Two years ago I used this mixture on good potato ground and on one and rnc-half acres there was har vested 12 two-horse wagon loads of fine hay. This stubble was then turned and a good seed bed prepared frr the sowing of soybeans. That fall eight two-horse wagon loads of soy-; bean hay was harvested from the same ground, making a total of -0 big loads of hay produced on one and i ne half acres cf land. To replace the plant food removed by the hay crops 15 tons of manure were spread on the ground in the early fall and turned under. The following spring potatoes were again planted on the; , ame piece of ground and the yield was by far the best we ever had or.' the place. . . j Im addition to turnisning guuu i»; in xt spring, the winter hay mixture, will be a splendid cover crop for the 1 ground this winter, helping to hold; the soil that might otherwise be lost by erosion. This mixture will also take up the surplus plant- food lolt in the ground from the previous crop, which would be lost by leaching due to the winter rains. Here is hop ing that several will try this winter huy crop mixture this fall and find for themselves the value of this fee*.
