AN EASY WAY TO
SAVE CLOVER SEED.
Raleigh, N. C., May 11? One of
the greatest drawbacks to sowing
more legumes in North Carolina is
the cost of seed. With some legumes

need at home. Extensien workers of
the State College . of Agriculture
find that this is easy with Crimson
clover. Simply let an acre or two
-'get fairly ripe, mow it iuul put it

In sowing Crimson. Clover in Jhe
hull; Mr. Blair recommends the use
of thirty pounds of seed per acre,
swn about three weeks before the
trme of kowing cleaned seedT TTic
unhulted seed? stre harder to k
evenly, he states, and it lakes them
longer to come up than cleaned seed.
On the other^iand the yopjrjr clover
is less apt to be injured by drought,
since it takes considerable moisture
to penetrate the hull and cause the
seed to germinate.

Corn Silage Hints
Made by Experts
Prepare When tho Moisture
Content is 65 per Cent.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
Corn silage \* best prepared when
the corn 1* rut at a stage containing
about 05 or 70 per cent moisture, say
specialists of the United States l>e
partmcnt of Agriculture. This may
he told when the Io\\ler leaves on the
stalk are turning brown, about 90
per cent of the kernels are dented, and
75 per cent are so hardened thnt no
moisture can he squeezed out.
The length to which the silage la
j ?uf should he from one-half to one
Inch. Silage cut this short will pack
better and the silo will hold its maxl*
j mum tonnage. Also the chances for
the silage to spoil are considerably re
duced. *
In filllug the silo packing is essen
tial. The common practice is to keep'
the shies slightly hlgtier than the
center and to tramp the whole surface
thoroughly.
If the sHage Is too dry to pack well,
wnter should be added. This is best
| done by directing a hose in the blower.
Well-packed and moistened silage la
less likely to mold.
When the silo Is filled the s?lage
should be covered to prevent spoilage.
A layer of cut corn or sorgbifm stalks
from which the ears . or grain have
been removed does this effectively.

says Prof. McKay, "becnuse the
home curing' of meat is almost uni

amount of meat is too that
there are losses 'from souring; that
lots of the side meat turns rancid
and that there is much loss from
rats, skippers and other paruiTea
commonly found in meat. If
can get the beat meat exhibited at
the fair and then learn how this
meat was cured and handled, the
fact should be of tremendous -vain*
in helping others .to cure- with bet
