SAVE YOUR GRASS SEED AT
HOME.

We have, from time to time endeavs
ored to impress uFDn the minds of our
farmers the Importance of saving their
own grass seeds. Not only can they
save money, but they, with a little
care, can have purer and better seed
than much that is brought here from
other sections. We frequently hear
complaint Of wild and pernicious weeds
getting into meadows. If we would
adopt the plan Of our good friend and
farmer, John o. Pope, of this county,
we could soon avoid pernicious weeds
and have clean meadows. His plan is
good one and should be practiced by
every farmer in the State, He selects
from his Red Top meadow the best grass
for seed. If any weeds or foreign
growth appears in it, he goes through
and pulls them up, leaving nothing
standing but Herds grass. When the
seed is properly matured he cuts with
sythe and cradle and after properly
curing, binds in bundles, shocks, and
threshes. In this way he has pure,
clean, we'll matured seed, worth fully
twice as much as seed saved in the or
binary way. This requires little
extra time and trouble, but may be re-
lied on as the proper way to save Red
Top seed. With the same care, limo
thy, orchard and other grass seeds
may be saved pure and free from per.
nlcious weeds. Seeds saved in thi!
way will and ought to command better
prices than ordinary seeds. How
many of our readers will try this plan
and report results? 1t will pay the
farmer to grow his own seeds.

WILL COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS
PAY.

We are frequently asked the ques-
ton, twill it pay to use commercial
certilizers?" This is difficult ques.
ton to answer, as the difference in fer.
tilizers and the difference in soils may
produce different results. From our
limited experience with the Home.
stead, and from the experience of near
ly all the farmers who have used it in
this county, the prevailing opinion is 1t
will pay if used judiciously. We
would advise those however, who have
not used it on their lands to begin with
small quantities at first, and then if
satisfactory use more. We have found
it of valne on corn, used teaspoonful
to each hill. We have also found it of
value in making clover take on poor
land, but think it should always be
mixed with the soil and not used as a
top dressing to get the best results. 1t
has generally given satisfaction when
drilled in with wheat or sown broad
cast and narrowed in with Ahe fall
sown grain.

will endeavor to have it run 50 as to
give those who may save their second
crop of clover an opportunity to hull
their seed. Our neighbor counties are
making money saving seed and we see
ne reason why our people should not do
like wise.

Which of these two leading crops
can be made the most profitable in
this country? Land that will produce
ten bushels of wheat would usually
produce two and half bushels of
clover seed. Wheat at 81. would give
$40. per acre, while clover at So.
would give $3.50. In addition to this,
add to the value of the clover seed,
the first crop of clover for hay, which,
judiciously fed to young stock and the
manure put back on the land, would
largely increase the profits in favor Of
clover. Clover being good fertilizer,
it would increase rather than diminish
the fertility of the soil. While we
would not advise clover sown to the
exclusion of wheat entirely, we would
advise our farmers to divide their crop.
Sow part to wheat and part to clover,
and test the question of growing clover
seed for profit. The trouble with III
is, we SOW too little of clover, anC
what we do SOW generally pasture toe
closely. Give your clover chance
and see if it cannot he made more
profitable than wheat by using the frs
crop for hay and the second crop fo
seed.
