The difficulty of making good clover hay
is in getting it properly cured before put

get my clover cut about the last week in
June. This gives time for the growth OF the
second cIoD for seed. Good weather is es-
sentie, and when can have reasonable as
suraDce of two fair days, the mower IS
started as soon in the morning IS the dew is

that was cut before noon into large, close
windrows before getting damp with the
evening dew. Next day, 80 soon IS the dew
is off, these windows must ba opsoed up to

The heat OF the sun contained IN the
clover when put in the windows almost

secret OF making clover hay. IL is cured IN
the night in the windows; hence the larger
and tighter you get it together in raking the
better; and hence the necessity Of letting it

A Standard for Jerseys.

Breeders of Jersey cattle have for some
tine been discussing a standard by which to
gauge the breeding value. as closely as may
be without consideration of all the charac-
teristcs of individual animals, of Jerseys,
and The standard below given is that finally
adopted for the forthcoming Jersey butter
test record. To be eligible for entry in the
list of standard Jersey COWS, an animal must
be:
Class lone which has made 500 pounds or
moie of butter in one year.
Glass 2-D6m Of two standard animals by differ
ent sires.
Class s-Daughter Of q standard animal and dam
of a standard animal.
Glass z-One which has made fourteen pounds
or more Of bstter in seven consecutive days.
To be eligible for entry as q standard bull
an animal should be, for
ClsH.l-sire OF two standard animals out OF diff
feTent dams
Cless 2-son OF a standard animal and sire of
standsl animal.
Cltst Sion oftvo standard animals.
OF the standard as it is Colonel W. Il.
Montgomery, of Mississippi, says: sit is
philosophical and capable of successful de-
Ierse from all attacks. 1t will contribute
more than anything else to advance breed
ing Of JERSEYS for butter. There are now
here a number of breeders attending Com
mencement, and the STANDARD meets their ap-
prevail" Other eminent breeders express a
like opinion, so that 1t appears that gener-
ally satisfactory standard has bsen decided
upon There appears to be no reason why @
somewhat similar standard can not be adopt.

The IurnIp crop.


The tUTBip crop is one OF the most impor-
tGnt IN our system CT farm rotation, bat IL IL
one that IS more ger erallv neglected than
any other. II Is not valuable a op as
paTsnip5, carols or beets, 60 far as feeding
value Is concerned, hut il can be produced
at less cost than the Others. Bets. carrots and
paIsniPs should go in early ia order TO get
good start in growth, but we have the sd-
vantsge of being able 70 defer the putting in
of turnip seed till July, after thu
new crop Of seed is ready, and
cultivation is carried on during a period
when no other crops are being seeded. Con-
sidering the cost of production, the tUrnip
crop should be special one or every farm
They keep well during winter, and not Only
serve an excellent purpose vixen sliced aud
fed in the raw stste 10 stock, but can also be
cooked and mixed with other food. Not only
are the roots valuable, bnt the tops also
there is no part wasted. By weight they pro-
duce heavily, and Gre not deficient in bulk
when compared with many other crops.
The most essential feature cOnnecsed with
the cultivation Of turnipsis to make the seed
bed fine. The seeds are very small, and must
net be deeply covered, and no Jumps or other
obst=U ctioDs should be tolerated on the locs-
tiOn intended for them. In procuring seed
get that which has matuTed this season. and
use il llSsFaily, ss this plant is often attacked
By the ;u.Iip fy, which is very destructive.
Iurnips may be sOwn broadcast on ground
that has been cultivated and kept clean and
free from grass and weeds the previous year;
but they should never follow corn, expert
cree hsviag demonstrated that such rotation
GOES no; result well.
Inc seed may oe sown in drills ne drills
10 be Of such distance apart as serves best for
either the hoe or cultivator. When they are
high enough TO thin Gus an ordinsry hoe
will cut agsy sill that are not desired, leav-
ing the most vigorous plants; and hand
picking IS sometimes Necessary to ihin out
tia stools ,hat are left. During all stages of
growth the crop should BE- kept free from in
tTUsicn Of Weeds and grass, as turnips are
sometime overtaken by drought, during
which time it is absolutely essential not only
to keep down weeds but also to keep the soil
loose BY frequent cultivation.
The best fertilizer for turnips is super
phosphate; but the addition of proportion
of gOsno and potash in some shape will be
beneficial, Above all, however, there is
nothing better for them than liberal apDli-
cation OF sood. fine, welI-rotted stable
manure, especially IL il has Seen broadcasted
and well worked in with the harrow before
drilling IN the seed.
