CUTTING CLOVER EARLY.


This year of all others in the West the
farmers should cut their clover carly. Be
sure to cut it before the seed has formed.
There is physical law in this that will
help the farmer if he is wise enough to
observe it. Clover is a biennal-one of
those plants that commences to die when
once it has produced seed. Here IS the
point: BY cutting before the seed forms
you can cut two crops in one season and
still keep the root alive. At least it will
not die because its purpose has been full
filled. This year we shall need all the
hay we can get. Skillful management
Of our clover meadows will give us a
large additional yield of hay and have
the roots ri hit for the next season. That
wise farmer, the late Hiram Smith, once
showed us Il field of medium clover nine
years old, from which he had taken that
year fully three tons per acre in three
cuttings. But there is another great ad-
vantage in early cutting. The hay for
milk and butter purposes is worth double
that of the ordinary grade.
Now is the time, according to Hoard's
Dairyman, which gives the foregoing
advice, to make mistake that will oc-
cupy us whole year in mourning about.
Cut the clover before it seeds. Cut two
crops. Get more hay per acre. Get hay
worth twice as much as the ordinary
kind. Preserve your clover meadow for
next year. One great reason clover
meadows kill out in winter is because
they become exhausted in summer by
being allowed to stand until the seed has
formed before cutting.-New York

her room and attended to all the duties
of the calling, even to making the beds,

BEANS FOR PROFIT.

In carrying out a system of rotation
beans can often be grown with profit.
One advantage with them is that they
occupy the ground but short time, and
all the work necessary can be done with
out hiring much extra help.
While beans will grow in almost any
kind of soil, yet to secure the best re-
suits good soil, we'll prepared, is neces.
sary. They should not be planted until
all danger of frost is past, as they do
better if they can make steady growth
from the time they are planted until they
are matured. Many do not plant until
late, but when this is done there is al.
ways the risk of hot, dry weather blast
ing the crop, and in many cases better
yield could be obtained by earlier plant.
ing. The soil should be well piowed
and thoroughly narrowed. By prepar-
ing the soil properly before planting the
cultivation can be given earlier and
more thoroughly. Mark out the lows
three and half feet apart, running out
the furrows reason ibly shallow. II the
planting is done in hills, drop three or
four beans every two feet. A better
yield, however, can generally be re.
ceived by planting in drills four inches
apart; do not cover deep; two inches is
plenty. Cultivate often enough to keep
the weeds down and the soil in a good
tilth. Generally it will be necessary to
hoe once or twice, depending somewhat
upon the condition of the soil.
Clean, thorough cultivation is neces-
sary to get the best growth and yield,
and the number of workings that may be
necessary will depend upon the character
and condition of the soil, and in many
cases one more working given at the
right time, while not adding much to
the cost of the crop, will increase the
yield and quality.
Especially when planted early it will
not always do to wait to harvest the crop
until all the plants stop blossoming.
When the bulk of the pods are ripe the
crop should be harvested, as after that
there is risk OF loss. Tie vines can be
pulled up or cut off close to the ground
and put loosely into small piles to cure
out. In few days as soon as the pods
and stalks are dry enough they should
be hauled in and stored under shelter in
q barn or shed loft where there is a good
circulation of air. They should be
thTeshed out when the other work will
permit. If the weather is dry they can
be left to dry out sufficiently TO thresh
in the field. With an average yield
beans can be made a profitable crop

The wOol.ack's Connection With Law

The woolsack is large square bag of
wool, covered with red cloth, and having
neither legs nor arms. In England, in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, an act of
Parliament was passed to prevent the ex-
portstion of wool; and that this source
of National wealth might be kept con-
stantly in mind woolsacks, on which the
judges sat, were placed in the House of
Peers. Hence the Lord Chancellor of
England, who presides in The House of
Lords, is said to be "appointed to the
woolsack. ."-Couner-Journal.

Ducks are great farm scavengers, eat

mixed with little bran, make dish

much water there is in it. They will fish

TWO VIEWS OF CHECK RErNs.

Whether the ordinary check rein is of
any benefit may, perhaps, be considered
an open question. There are arguments
both for and against its use. On some
horses it may be useful. On others it is
probably an injury. But, however, this
form Of the rein may be regarded there
seems to be but one way TO look upon the
overhead check. This kind OF a rein is
a barbarity and ought to be abolished,
at once and forever. 1t keeps the horse
in constant pain while it is on and the
discomfort produced by its use remains
long after it is removed. In many
cases it has caused severe disease. The
horse is a noble animal and it is a shame
and disgrace that for the sake of show
he should be tortured by the wealthy and
aristocratic owners who use this form Of
check rein.-American Dairyman.
