Good butter and cheese is universally
nroduct of skill, and that takes brains.
And the scarcity of good butter and
cheese is always due to scarcity of
GOOD brain action. These is no excep-
fion. In following out this line of
thought | have noticed that most peo-
Die blame the weather, the grass, the
water, the COWS, or anything except
their own lack of good dairy sense. y
Ell,
Experience has proven that wher9
snow remains upon the wheat field
through the winter, much earlier and
heavier growth follows. Where a sled
road has been made across the field and
the snow packed down, the growth Of
grain through that strip will show q
marked difference at harvest time
Where straw or something of the KIND
cannot be conveniently had for covering
we believe thatby packing the snow with
common land roller while heavy
coat is upon the ground, viii make il
resist the spring thaw and remain on
the ground much longer than the snow
that is left as il falls.-Er
Alsike, or perennial clover, has fbrou
roots and globular heads. 1t bears
strong resemblance to white clover, ant
may be considered as a large variety O
that class. Its advantages are its peren
nid or permanent character, its hardi
ness, as no winter seems to kill it, it
capahility of resisting extremes O.
drouth and wet, its greater weight o
heritage during an entire season with :
certainty, when some other kinds fail
Its power of production is great, and j
IS adapted to some soils that are no
lifted TO other cloyers at all. 1t SHOULD
be sown in the spring like other clover
at the rate of four pounds of seed pc
acre, when sown with wheat or barley
1t Is not as coarse for hay as red clover
Yields well, and seems to give satisfac
ton to those who have grown it. As
honey plant it is unrivaled.-Er.
