THE CHEAPEST MANURE.
Clover in Rotation Leaves Land Richer
Than II Was Before.

We are asked; "What is clover rota,
tion?" 1t is a rotation of crops in
which clover occupies the land for one
or two years. The crops in use to form
the rotation are corn, potatoes, oats,
rye, wheat, barley, roots and some.
times others. A common rotation in
the east is corn or potatoes on sod, oats
the next year, rye or wheat sowed in
the fall and seeded to clover on this.
The clover remains one or two years
and is then plowed under and the land
planted to corn and potatoes again. A
quicker rotation is to seed in the
spring with oats. Potatoes or roots
may follow corn for a year, then the
land may be n sGed with oats. The
clover seed is sown directly after the
oats and brushed in or rolled. Thick
seeding should generally be practiced.
In the south, where protection is
needed on the ground in winter, oats
may be sown in the fall, plowed under
in the spring and the land planted to
corn or cotton. The COW pea here
takes the place of clover at the north,
but unlike it, will grow on poor soils.
The peas are sown in the spring in
drills and may be harvested for fodder
crop in the summer, or be turned under
as a green manure when well up, or
even allowed to rot on the land. In the
west the rotation is shorter and is gem
orally corn, followed by spring wheat,
or oats, and then winter wheat and
seeded to clover In sections where
wheat is not grown the seeding is
done with oats. 1t is a bad practice to
follow corn with corn or wheat with
wheat. for year after year. This will
soon run out the best land, and clover
should come in at least once in every
five years.
The great value of clover in rota-
ton is that it leaves the land richer
and in better mechanical condition than
it was before. This is from the fact
that the clover roots penetrate very
deeply into the subsoil and bring much
fertility to the surface. A great amount
of the stalks and stems are always left
on the field and these, with the roots,
greatly enrich the soil when they de-
cay. 1t is a generally accepted fact
that clover and other plants of the
same family have the power to use the
nitrogen of the air Assimilating the
nitrogen of the air and bringing up fer
tility from below where other plants
feed, are the two ways in which clover
enriches the soil.-N. e. Homestead.

Bill Arp Combines Philosophy with Prac-
tical Farming.
Any farmer can make one. Make in
two sections each three feet long and
rs near three inches in diameter as
you can get. Poplar is the best timber.
Bore through with a two-inch augur-
hat is, bore half way from each end,
and if a man has good eye he can hit
he hole. If he misses it a little the
ron spindle will burn its way through.
Let the spindle be only one and half
inches in diameter and project four
inches. Put a washer between the
golfers. Build frame round and let
The end of the spindle support it Bolt
the corners of the frame together. Bolt
two upright standards at each end for
plank seat to rest upon and fasten
seat securely to the cross pieces. Then
bolt and brace good tongue to the
front of the frame and use your wagon
1oubletree. Then get aboard and pop
your whip and ride. 1t is splendid rid
ing. Carl does all my rolling and Jessie
rides with him sometimes. A roller
beats any harrow in the world for pull
verizing. In fact l have never seen a
harrow that would pulverize much.
This spring my land broke up very
cloddy, but planted corn and covered
it with the clods and then rolled it, and
it was smooth as a parlor floor and
every hill came up. Isowed my turnip
seed Saturday and rolled them in and
they came up before breakfast Monday
morning. Rol! your wheat, roll your
clover seed, roll everything you can.

The Kind of Cow to Bry.

, Beware of the COW or heifer with a
masculine head, as well as the COW sus.
piciously fat. The latter is probably
fat because she is shy breeder and
has calf only once in awhile. Buy the
COW with the motherly look. We can
not describe it in words, but every man
who has his eyes open knows the ex-
preston of maternity or motherliness.
She may be thin in flesh, not half SO
good-looking as others, but it is simply
because she has been duplicating her
self regularly and thus fulfilling he
mission. If she has the form and th.,
breeding and good, lusty calves to her
credit, buy her. Don't buy the long
legged, thinr%hested, consumptive-
looking animal under any circum-
stances, no matter what the breeding.

growing from three to four feet high
