TV Clover Crop.
It is not advisable as a in le to
eat a crop of clover seeded la tbs
spring for hey. In e very wet seas
on it will somatimes be tbe better
practice to do thta. but as e rule
light pasturing lata In the tall after
It ban become well established will
be the better practice, dreeing helps
to keep the growth in check and
throws mors strength into Iks roots,
and of course if you can got a good
strong root development, the chances
are that you will maintain the stand
through the winter end get nn ex
ceptionally good crop of hey the
next season.
One can certainly damage hit
ground by plowing it too wet. The
soil la very much like a sponge. Yon
observe that when the rainfall la
abundant the ground becomes wet
and soggy, U It were, and If you
plow it in thli condition, the perll
elea of rock of which It Is composed
are ran together and form a hard
lamp or clod. It tskea a great deal
of work to break thla lump of soil
up, though of course severe freetlng
wtll help to pulverise It. But you
can never count on getting a freote
to do the work juet at tha right
time, and by plowlnt our land wet
there la great danger putting It In
bad mechanical condition, and we all
realise that a toll In good tilth will
certainly grow larger crops because
it Is easlsr to cultivate, and the
plant roots and moisture can pene
trate It with greater ease. Land
should never bo plowed when se
wet that It will not rail In a flaky
condition from the moldboard aa It
la turned over. Winter plowing
where the water follows along In the
farrow Is a great mistake. You are
simply sleeking over and compact
ing tha subsoil and making a hard
pan, as It were, at a depth of < or *
laches through which the roots of
plants can hardly penetrate, and
your soil U so shallow that Instead
of making a great reservoir for wat
er to supply the needs of the grow
ing crop next see too. you only have
a little shallow surface, say from <
to S Inches deep, from which the
plant must draw by far the larger
part of Its supply of moisture. Deep
thorough tlllsge and .he opening of
the pores of the soil la the proper
policy to pursue snd wst plowing
will never fsvor the development of
these very desirable condition* in
your .god. %
If your ridga woodland fe at all
fertile why not try a mixture of or
chard grass, blue grass and white
clover. This will make you an ex
caltent pasture if ft does well. Hie
trees snd underbrush should be
thinned out before seeding and the
seed cover with a light harrow. No
gracing should be permitted during

Accordlng to-tests made-at the va

potash and phosphates are especially
valuable to the 80utberufarmer when

matter through the medium mt barn
yard manure er green crops. The
fact that fertilizers frequently prove
unsatisfactory am the farm to direct
ly due In nearly every instance to
the farmer baying something which
to not what It is represented to be.
For example, he frequently buys arid
phosphate which is setd to contain
twenty or twenty-live per cent, of
phosphoric acid, but of this amount
probably only twelve or fifteen per

that add phosphate Is of no service'

Three Abominations.
There are three things on farms
that are a bom Ins (loos
The three are mean -teams, rusty
tools, and crooked rows. These three
irtla are the farmer's own fault. A
good team am be had at any price.
If you have a "run-away" team
you hare yourself to blame. They
show their "rnialnV Treat them
kindly and they will treat you right.
A team that you cannot truat la not
a team for the farm. Get rid of
’’runaway" horse*.
Get flrst-clsss tods and keep them
in first-class condition. You hare
seen while out In the country a plow
here, a harrow there, and a cultiva
tor yonder, and mowers and binders
In ths shade of a tree.
Won’t there be a hppy lime when
the farmer who left his tools and ma
chinery out Id the weather starts to
farm? Won't his old ph>w "ahed”
the toll rapidly?
Won’t his cnltlrato.- shovels work
smooth? Well- I guess not. It will
take Mveral days' scouring and la
that time he has lost more religion
than he can' get back tn a year's
time. Keep tools in the shelter.
8ome farmers make rows so
crooked that they .cannot follow
them and they blame the team, the
tools, "the old boy" and all thinge on
earth except the man who laid off
the rowe.
Straight rows toll the world you
love to farm and you love It enough
to give your best attention to keep
the row* straight. Keep your rows

Wheat Land For Cosrpeas.
D. F. n.. Boxwood, write*: I want
to follow twenty-five acres of ray
wheat land with peas and four seres
with alfalfa, and wbold like to know
what would be the best fertiliser to
use.
Answer—Fertilize the -wheat land
Intended for peas with 100- pounds of
sixteen per cent, acid phosphate and
twenty-live pounds muriate of pot
ash per acre. The' land Intended for
alfalfa should be sown- th peas and
fertilised like the balance.. The peas
on this land 'should be turned under
ae deeply as possible about the Brat
of September, and If tile subsoil Is
very close and compact ft would be
well to break It up. Prepare a fine
seed bed by thorough surface tillage,
and compact the soil with the roller.
Inoculate tho alfalfa with soil or with
an artificial culture. n alfalfa Is
growing successfully in your vicinity,
■ 1 DO pounds of soil per acre from an
•Id Held will be enough’ to Insure In
oculation. The soil, may be mixed
with tho eeed,. which should bo sown
at the rate of twenty pounds per
acre. Before seeding the alfalfa,
broadcast or dHU ln> 3B0 pounds of
sixteen per cent, add phosphate and
100 pounds of muriate-of potash per
acre. If the land seem acid, which
you can determine by testing with
blue litmus paper, apply lime at the
rate of twenty-five boehela per acre.
The lime coukl ho applied to good
advantage before seeding the peas,
though It may be pot on after the
peae have been plowed down. Pur
