WHEN TO SOW CLOVER,
The Views Of Kentucky Farmer Give
in His Own Words.

The Views OF Kentucky Farmer Given
in His Own Words.
Glover is usually sown between
March and April /, and from eight to
twelve pounds of seed per acre is the
customary seeding. Many years ago l
became satisfied that such usage both
as to time and quantity was not right.
Three pounds of clover seed will SOW
an acre more thiclsly than seventy five
pounds of wheat The seed itself will
terminate with the certainty of other
leguminous types, and good practice
implies such conditions of selnination
as will insure both the termination Of
the seed and it's preservation until it's
root becomes firmly fixed in the earth
at and after which time red clover is a
very hardy plant.
When wheat, rye and barley are
seeded, the sowing ordinarily is on the
unpreparcd surface, and at a time char
acterized by rapid changes of tempcr;l-
ture and great atmospheric movements.
The sprouted seed is lost while in the
''crool1," either by sharp frost or the
arid wind of March afternoon-being
on the surface and both root and
cotyledon exposed. If terminated
clover seed be exposed on moist flannel
to comparative cold it will perish, but
if covered with one thickness of the
same material ut a temperature of
eight degrees above zero there is only
partial loss.
If the seed be sown in January
preferably on snow-the action of rain
and frost will cover it perfectly, and in
many years have not failed to secure
perfect stand with three or, at most,
four pounds of seed per acre. Many of
the best farmers in the bluegrass re-
gion have adopted this plant with per-
feet success. The only objection to be
urged is, that on rich land the clover,
in wet seasons, reaches SO great a
height that it interferes with the rapid
drying of the sheaf. More money is
annually wasted in Kentucky by the in
judicious sowing Of clover seed than
her farmers expcnd for agricultural lit
erature. Farmer, in Farmers Home

ADVICE FOR FARMERS.

BEGINNERS with poultry should, as a
rule, commence with one variety, and
keep it until the details of the business
are weI mastered.
For growing alone blue grass is one
of the very best that can be grown on
the farm. Blue grass and orchard
grass will thrive in the shade.
AN important item in successful farm
ing is the keeping of a sufficient num-
Der of stock to consume to advantage
all of the products of the farm.
CLOVER can be grown on any soil
that is in reasonably good condition
and under ordinary conditions can be
sown in the spring or in the fall.
ECONOMY in production is the key to
financial success in all agriculture. In
raising live stock the guess work should
be reduced to a minimum Know what
each animal has cost before .von sell it.
A merchant who should sell his goods
without knowing their cost would Soon
be upon the high road to bankruptcy.
