The Hickman courier. [volume] (Hickman, Ky.) 1859-current, 1878-03-08

old-fashioned plan of opening furrow
with scooter and covering with two fur
rows of the same, and then knocking Of
with board Just as the cotton is ready to
come up, is the surest, but it is slow and
tedious. A planter with wheel running in
bottom of furrow, and pressing the earth
in a narrow drill into which the seed fall.
and covering with board pressed down
by a spring or by a block, will, under
ordinary circumstances, give a good
stand. If the beds are rough and cloddy,
it is best to precede the planter with a
harrow, which has been several times
described by as heretofore, and which
we will briefly describe again for the
| benefit of new subscribers. Ut Is simply
an ordinary triangular harrow, from two
and halt to three feet IN width behind,
and with teeth set little sloping back
wards to prevent its fouling. The front
tooth should be about six inches long in
| the clear and the rearmost ten inches, the
intervening ones increasing gradually IN
length from front to rear. Such harrow
will bug a bed, clean it eff and still leave
| it elevated and with Uniform rounded
surface. We find it exceedingly useful
in our own practice for smoothing and
freshening the surface of beds. 1t is 8
great point gained in cotton culture &c
have the young plants in a straight mar
row line, on a smooth, gently-rounded
bed-the first working can then so easily
/ be given it.

"WeIl, think you can do no better

She stood gazing blankly at him.
" You are mocking me; you are

her ewes, and her color rising.

replied.

He laughed again. Her eyes flashed.
Convince me of it," she said, curling
her lips.

Size took it rom his hand, and he
watched her while she gazed. First
came a look of blank astonishment, then
one of doubt, afterward an expression OF
bewilderment. and finally one of inquiry
as she raised her eyes to his face.
" Are you puzzled? ?" he asked, smil

" And l still love Justin Perry, then,
she said, after a moment of conflicting
emotions.

Alsiss Clover

A Vermont farmer gives his expert
ence of Alsike clover, in which he says
The introduction of Alsike clover IS OF
much value to our farmers. Like other
clovers it runs out in two or three years
from sowing, though occasional roots are
found scattered through all fields where
it has sprung up from self-sown seeds.
My experience has not been very full,
for have only sown it to compare it
with other clover. The results have
reached are that while it is fully as sure
to give good catch, it apparently makes
a much superior hay. 1t grows thicker
and finer, is less liable to lodge, is fed
with less waste than other kinds of clover,
and is eaten with avidity by all kinds of
stock. Only a portion of the blossoms
of each stalk are in bloom at time, so il
can stand longer without injury after it
is first fit to be cut. The chief objection
to the introduction of Alsike clover is
the high price asked for the seed, though
this is partially Offset by the small
quantity required to the acre. The
canning season shall SOW it on all that
l seed down, mixing il with other seed
at the rate of one pound of Alsike to the
acre, with the usual amount of red
clover If the season is favorable, this
will give FOR the first crop mixed hay
"a good as is obtsined the second and
third years when red clover only is sown
and will give larger crep and not
exhaust the land as rapidly as when only
timothy or red top is sowD.
