FARM FACTS.

FARMERS claim that they are COM
PEELED to lose portion of the year from
the inclemency Of the weather in win
ter. This need not be the case, as there
are duties to be performed in winter as
well as in summer, IL the farm is prop
erly conducted. Winter is the time to
fatten stock and make manure, and it is
a season when all the necessary work
indoors should be done. such as thrash
ing, Smelling, cutting the food and bag
ging the grain intended for market
No BUILDING on the farm pays better
than a good Toulouse. 1t should be so
convenient of access that there need be
no excuse for leaving farm implements
exposed to the weather when used
Properly cared for, many implements
that now last only a few years ought to
be serviceable so long as the farmer
lived to need them. Besides, tool that
has not been rusted, warped and cracked
by exposure will work as well the second
and third years Of use as the first On
many farms tools are so much injured
by being left out of doors that after the
first season they cost more for repairs
than they save in labor.

good reason to believe that it will ulti-
mately invade most of the clover-pro-
ducing regions of the United States.
The adult of the clover-root borer is a
small, dark-colored beetle. 1t is repre-
scented, considerably magnified, at d, in
the cut. This beetle deposits eggs
which hatch into small, whitish larvae
or grubs, that bore the roots of the clover
plant as shown at a a. When they be-
come full grown as larvae they look,
when magnified, like b, and are ready to
change to the chrysalis or pupa (c),
from which in due time they emerge
again as beetles.
The effect upon the plant is, of course,
most disastrous. With its roots hol-
lowed out as these borers do, it can only
die; and whole fields are often ruined
in this way by these pests.
The only way that has been found
practicable in avoiding the injuries Of
the insect is that of blowing the clover
up after the first years crop is gathered.
Prof. |. p. Roberts says that in central
New York the seeded land is moved but
once, the second growth being pastured
off, "Since 1875" he adds, 1.-The clover
root borer has worked the clover to such
an extent that it invariably fails the
second year. This has caused us to
change from a five to a four-year rota-
ton; namely, hay, cora oats and
wheat clarence NJ. Weed, in Farm

THE FARMING WORLD.
A GRAND FODDER PLANT.

Prof Gulley, of the Texas Experiment
station, Gives His Views on Japan
Glover.
Japan clover, like red clover, has long
roots and gets larger amount Of nutri-
tive matter from the soil than nearly all
other plants. Unlike red clover, Japan
clover spreads over the poorest lands.
II not too closely pastured it improves
the soil and increases the pasturing ca
pacity 25 per cent yearly. In this re-
spect it surpasses any other plant known
TO me. On fertile land it will produce as
much food as any plant grown here ex-
cepting Bermuda grass. On rich lands
ii will yield two to three tons of hay of
good quality per acre. For grazing and
rs a maker of butter and milk it is
nearly equal to blue grass, and it sur
passes all other grazing plants on ordi-
nary upland or sandy soil for fattening
cattle, as it makes its growth from July
to November. 1t chokes out weeds and
inferior grasses, not excepting Bermuda
grass on certain lands.
When Japan clover has been started
on old hills that are too poor to pay for
cultivation it may be pastured, and
where cattle are fed on cottonseed a
part of the year the fertility of the soil
and its capacity for carrying stock in
creases more rapidly than under any
other treatment At the agricultural
college is ten-acre field formerly COW
cred with broom sedge. 1t was planted
to corn in 1881, being fertilized with
cwt. of cottonseed meal per acre and fair
ly cultivated. As but light crop was
yielded the land was sowed to red
clover. Japan clover, self sowed, made
light growth where the clover failed
to catch. In 1854 the field was used
for pasture. In 1856, 10 to 25 head of
calves in the daytime and so to so cows
at night had their range here, and at no
time was the growth grazed or tramped
down too closely to furnish good feed.
In another field 500 acres of similar
land had been turned out because too
poor to cultivate. Much of it was billy
and some was bottom land covered with
coarse grass, bushes and weeds. 1t
would have carried possibly 100 head of
cattle. The brush was cut and 100 head
of cattle placed on it in 1884, so acres
being fenced off for cultivation. The
following year the number of cattle was
doubled and another 50-acre field fenced
off. The following year 200 to 275 head
of stock pastured this land and still
could not consume more than two-thirds
of the growth. Japan clover is an an
uual. Itsprouts after the spring frosts are
over, grows fast on good land to "a feet
high. 1t blooms late in August or Sep
TENDER and ripens it's seed. Its roots
extend IL to feet or more deep and
fill the soil. 1t grows during wet sea-
sons with greater rapidity and doesn't
burn during long hot spells. 1t thrives
on all soils excepting black, waxy bot
tom lands, cold white soils, and where
the lime rock crops out.-Farm and

figure shows also the coarse and cloddy
nature of this loosened subsoil when
the work has been inefIiciently per-
formed or at the wrong time. With all
these chances for subsoiling to be super
ficially or badly done, it is not surpris-
ing that so many farmers have found it
of little or no benefit.
The defects in draining, as often prac-
ticed, are insufficient depth of the
bitches, defective underground channels
for the escape of the water, and badly
laid-out lines for a regular descent. The
draining itself of the surplus water can
not do otherwise than benefit the land,
by conveying away the water which the
soil itself can not hold, and leaving be-
hind all that is required for vegetable
growth. The only harm, therefore, in
cutting drains whore they are not
wanted, is the useless waste of labor.
Flowing and narrowing may be worse

stances. A strong loan plowed too wet

FARM OPERATIONS.
Some Practical Hints on Timely
Topics.


Good farming is made up of several
operations, all of which working to-
gether make successful whole. Among
some Of these. are draining, subsoiling,
good blowing, pulverizing the soil, rota-
ton OF crops, thorough cultivation, pro-
viding shelter care of manure and con-
troll Of fields by fencing. Take, for i'm
stance, the practice of subsoiling. In a
gravelly or porous subsoil it is not
needed, and the owner obtains no bene-
fit from it. Performed in wet subsoil,
which is adhesive or clayey in its COM
position, it may render it more compact
by pressing it together like mortar and
may harden it instead of rendering it
looser and lighter as intended. Or, the
subsoiling may be incomplete and in
efficient by the narrow furrow which it
makes.
The common pillow which precedes it,
cuts a furrow a foot wide, and the sub
soil pillow, as often constructed, hardly
six inches; and the result is that the
subsoil is only broken into interrupted
burrows with the hard unbroken earth
between them, as represented by tho
cross-section, Fig. /, where the upper
and dotted portion is the mellow or
broken soil, and the darker part below
the unbroken earth. A remedy for this
defective work, is to cut the common
pillow burrows only half foot wide,
which will break up all the hard ridges,
and reduce the whole bed of mellow soil
to state of fine pulverization.

previous furrow of the common pillow,

pulverized mass. The farmer, therefore,
will need the exercise of his skill in
avoiding these two extremes. We some-
times have seasons the weather of which
consists largely of an abundance of rain
at one time and of extreme drouth at
another, and the owner of heavy soils
will find great advantage in thorough
underdrainage, which will give him con.
troll of his fields in early spring weeks
before he could begin the tillage of
ground otherwise saturated with water.
