Flavor Of Milk.

The National Live Stock Journal has a
good article on the subject of peculiarities
in the flavor of milk. and calls attention to
the fact that often when there is bad
flavor to the milk it is due to the peculiar
ity of one COW in the herd that has taken
a fancy to eat q certain weed that is re-
jected by all the others. This can be
remedied by watching the herd, and re-
moving the offending member.

New Oats.

New oats are not good feed for horses.
They relax the bowels. and often if the
change from old to new is sudden, the
value of the oat ration is almost entirely
lost. AS they shrink good deal in dry
ing, the old oats, though nominally dearer,
are usually cheaper, as well as better feed
than the new crop.

There is a constant effort on the part of that
grim monster Disease to become master of
mortal man. Only a careful observance of
natural laws can render his efforts unav ailing.
Yet too often injudicious excuses, sudden
changes, too great exposure, improper food
or other abuses of nature open the gateway
and Disease gains a victory. Sometimes its
mastery is so complete that nature Of herself
can never effect dislodgment. In such in
stances reinforce nature with a judicious use
of Browns Iron Bitters, and we guarantee, in
short time, all disease will be vanished.

Concerning Glover.

Clover of any variety seldom attracts
much attention in portion of country
that has recently been settled. 1t is
generally introduced after crops of grain
begin to fail and need is felt for more
fertilizing material than the manure
heap can supply. Red clover was not
introduced into England till the soil had
lost much of its fertility by continual
groupings. 1t Immediately produced a
revolution in agriculture. Its first re-
suit was to increase the amount of stock
food. 1t was soon found that its growth
prepared the soil for a crop of wheat.
1t now forms a part of every system of
rotation practiced in the country. As a
forage crop it supplies much of the food
eaten by sheep, hogs, and cattle. Its
highest use, however, is as a renovator
of the soil. Its abundant foliage casts
dense shade which renders the soil
beneath it permanently moist. Its roots
penetrate the earth to great distance,
pulvarize the hard soil, and bring near
the surface the mineral salts that lie
beneath the reach of the pillow. Even if
all the stocks and foliage are removed
from the soil the roots afford a large
is more difficult to cut and cure for hay
than most kinds of grass are, owing to
its liability to lodge. To obviate this
trouble as far as possible it should be
cut as soon as it is in full blossom. 1t
is much easier to cut a field of clover
twice when the stalks stand upright
than once when they are lodged. Lodged
clover is not only difficult to cut and
cure, but poor for feeding purposes.
The leaves are likely to fall off and the
blossoms to become blackened or moldy
Clover hay to be relished by stock should
be bright and fragrant. For sheep and
young cattle it has no superior.
3D. Glover is an excellent pasture plant,
but care must be taken with its treat
ment. Stock should not be turned into
a clover pasture early in the spring,
while the ground is soft and the plants
small. When animals are turned from
dry hay into pasture of clover that is
immature they are likely to suffer from
the change. If stock is turned into a
clover pasture quite early in the spring
it should be only few hours at s. time.
Discretion should also be observed
about turning animals into a clover
pasture at any season of the year. FIRE.
quent cases of bloat or hoven occur from
cattle eating too much clover after they
have been in scant pasture, or been

food. Animals are not likely to suffer
. from eating too much clover when it is
distributed among timothy and other
grasses. If red clover is cut as soon as

to cut it for seed. Take the seasons as
they 60, few crops pay better than
clover. The second crop of red clover
furnishes excellent pasturage. Sheep
and cattle lay on fat very fast when
allowed the run, of a clover pasture
during the early part of the fall. A
Wisconsin farmer who was very sue
cessful with sheep declared that two
acres of clover, the first crop being
cured for hay, were as valuable for pro-
ducing fat as an acre of corn. His
practice was to sow land-plaster on the
clover as soon as the first crop was cut,
and to turn the sheep on when the
plants had attained a good growth and
were nearly ready to blossom. At first
he allowed them the run of the field bat
one hour in the day.
Glover of all kinds is likely to fail OIL
to do indifferently well on soil deficient
in lime. Quicklime, lime that has air
or water slaked, pulverized limestone
and land-plaster, which is a sulphate OF
lime, are all excellent fertilizers for
clover Some varieties of clover will
do well on any kind of soil, providing
it contains a sufficient amount of lime
in some form. The common red clover
is best adapted to soils that are mod
erately high and dry, or somewhat low
grounds that are well drained. The
Alsike, or Swedish clover, does best on
tolerably moist land. 1t makes a SUI
periOr hay and the stalks ere not as
likely to lodge as are those of red
clover 1t is more hardy plant and
better adapted to a high latitude. White
clover requires a soil tolerabiy dry and
well drained. 1t fourishes exceedingly
well on broken ground and on hill
sides. 1t will cover the banks of ra-
vines and the sides of road embank-
ments and will preserve them from
washing. Once introduced, it will re-
main in the soil often for generation.
A few seeds dropped in favorable lOca-
tons, or small pieces of turf carefully
transplanted, will be the means of in
Producing white clover with very little
trouble or expense. A single plant will
spread ove1 considerable extent of
ground. Sheep relish white clover bet
ter than almost any forage plant that
grows. 1t affords a large amount of
the choicest honey, and is consequently
in high esteem among bee-keepers.
Hogs can be kept cheaper on common
red or mammoth red clover than on any
food the farmer can produce. One acre
in clover will keep five medium-sized
hogs during nearly five months of the
year. A clover pasture that has been
occupied by hogs will rarely fail to pro-
duce splendid crop of corn. The drop
pings of the hogs and the clover roots
will furnish all the fertilizers necessary.

These, upon examination, are found to be
