1suppose it is hardly necessary fol-
me TO say any thing in regard to red
clover as q farm crop. All farmers
ought 10 know its value. both as . ferti-
lizer and as feed for nearly all kinds Of
farm stock. In this term I include
hogs, as well As cattle. horses and
sheep. At low prices pork can be made
with profit only when grown largely
on clover. Many farmers do not know
its feeding value. for the reason that
they have never saved il in . n

usually allowed to get too ripe before
