CRIMSON CLOVER Farmers that will cut crimson clover for buy this month should remember that it should Le cut not later than when in full bloom After this stage is reached the short hairs on stem and fl)wer heads become stiff and dry and a-e likely to form hair balls in the intestinal tracts of horses and mules. If cut later it should be fed to cows. Saving crimson clover seed: If cut at proper stage to save seed crimson clover should be utilized as cow feed and not fed to work stock. Cot when about 10 per cent of the heads will strip off easily without breaking the stems. Rake at once and put in small stacks, about two feet in diameter. Make small high stacks. If weather is dry can house next day. Load by run ning fork or stick under stack and two .men placing on wagon. Seed can be thrashed out when other work is not pressing. If the weather is bad when clover is in th s stage it will soon get tLO mature to handle in this way. VTou will then have to cut when the dew is on and haul as scon as the sun dries it off, E. P.
