Prof. Goesmann of the Massachusetts

Crimson Glover.

In reply to a correspondent, the West
ern Rural says: Crimson clover is
listed in the books as an annual, but from
accounts it succeeds better as a biennial
That is by planting in the fall, early
enough for some growth, with the final
crop of hay and seeds the following year
which ends its existence. This plant is
native of Italy, and is known under the
name of crimson trefoil or trifolium in
carnatum. 1t was introduced from Italy
into England over three hundred years
ago, aud especially in the south of Eng
gland, farmers have used it for ages.
They found that it would grow on almost
all kinds of land, and they planted it for
grass, bedding and hay. In fact, on
nearly all farms of the south of England
fields of crimson clover will be found
In 1855 the plant was brought to this
country aud efforts were made to intro
duce it. But the farmers did not take to
it kindly. The value of clover then as a
soil renovator was not understood or APP
preciated. Farmers raised clover, but
more as pasture than for improving the
soil. 1t was only natural that crimson
clover should be neglected when the
other varieties, established here for
years. were not looked upon with any
special interest. But the clover craze
came soon after, and from that time until
the present clover has been raised for its
fertilizing more than for its feeding value.
L. soon became the fashion, it might
be said to raise clover, and those who
could not raise it on their poor lands
sought advice from the agricultural
journals. All sorts of soils were tested
with clover, and the amount of literature
on the subject would fill volumes
Clover is at the foundation of all good
farming, and is an essential crop to keep
up the fertility Of the soil. 1t will sue
coed on all good land with fair cultiva-
ton, and makes an excellent crop for a
rotation. But on many poor soils no good
clover catch" can be made until the soil
is improved or except under very fine cul-
tivation. The real difficulty has thus
been found in getting start in clover.
The question of growing clover is easily
solved if the soil is good enough TO get
start.
The crimson clover seems to come in to
solve this latter question. 1t will thrive
remarkably well on soil that will refuse
10 produce a crop of the ordinary clover.
1t is a plant that is hard to kill, either by
dry weather or very cold weather In
this respect it is great gift to the Ameri-
can farmer. Possessing the good at
tributes of ordinary clovers, it adds To
them a hardy nature and wonderful pro-
ductive powers. Another point Of value
must be mentioned The ordinary clovers
win not grow successfully on the southern
soils, but it seems that the crimson clover
can be grown very successfully in the
south and west. Further tests in this
country, however, are necessary TO prove
all that is claimed for the crimson clover.

of The first is to sell the goods direct at
wholesale prices to the green grocers,
who make a business of distributing
them. The second method is TO build up
a regular trade by having permanent
market stand where customers will come.
The third and last way is TO have regu-
lar route to peddle the goods TO whoever
cares to buy them. The latter method
takes so much time that it actually costs
more to sell the goods than 10 grow them.
Very few progressive truck farmers can
AFFORD to leave their farms long enough TO
peddle out all of their produce in this
way. They may often get more for the
goods, but the question IS whether the
additional sum will pay for the extra time
required.
The second method is superior to the
third, for permanent stand IN some
good city market means that good Gus
toners will in time come early TO the
place and the. goods can be disposed of
before noon. In this way the farmer can
get back to his farm early in the dav
ready for loading up again. Where
rent has to be paid for the stand the
question of profit becomes more doubtful
The disadvantages of this system are also
numerous. In order to get to the stand
early one must rise very early in the
morning and spend many hours in
the air during all sorts of weather.
In the fall of the year there
will be considerable exposure to
the cold. so that one actually runs the
risk of injuring his health The whole
sale method of selling the market produce
is employed by most of the progressive
truck farmers, and, on the whole, it seems
the most business like. The wholesale
manufacturers are willing to receive less
profit on their goods and to have some
body else distribute them. In this way
they are relieved of details and eau de-
vote all of their energies to their one
plant. The same reasons apply to the
market gardener.
He does not as a rule save by spending
all of his time in peddling goods, but
some central, trustworthy distributing
point should be made so that he can re-
lieve himself of all further care about
the goods. Wholesale dealers will supply
the trade with only fair profit to them,
and this profit is legitimately earned.
The difference between the prices for the
goods at wholesale and retail is some
times very large-almost too large to
make farmers believe that everything is
honest But retail dealers have estab-
lished their trade, and their prices do
not fuctuate so much as those of the
wholesale markets. If any produce de-
clines in value it is several days after be-
fore the retail markets show any signs of

ton the retail prices will not change at
all The consumers are the ones that
lose on one side by this, and the cultiva-
tors of the soil at the other side. The
mlddlemen make the extra profit, and
generally the small retail stores get the
lions share, still, all things considered,
it pays most truck gardeners better to
deal with the wholesale houses rather
than to attempt TO peddle- their goods
around, or to make separate bargains
with the retail stores

A Few Facts and Figures About Hogs.

A Few Facts and Figures About Hogs.
The value of hog raising is not gener-
ally understood from an improved hog
standpoint, says w. E Skinner in Farm
and Ranch. l would, therefore, request
a careful reading of the following facts
and figures on the hog, relative to his
money producing power.
Take one sow and let her produce
three pigs twice year, which is a very
low estimate of Eer ability, and she has
earned you on maturity of these pigs,
by the lowest figures of to-day's market
quotation from the Fort Worth Stock
Yards market, S57 IL one year by aver
aging the hogs at 200 pounds each,
raised at a cost that would be TOO low to
figure, either by following cattle or full
feeding. Compare these figures with the
cost of raising steer or COM for market
and see where the money is. There is
never any let up to the demand for hogs,
and the conditions of Texas attendant to
the successful raising of hogs is SO far
superior to the north and west that the
northern people would look to Texas to
supply them when such shortages occur
as was experienced in the past year in
the north and west through The agency
or cholera. | understand that cholera is
a thing practically unknown in Texas.
This being true, an all-the-year-rou
crop of hogs would be an assured thing in
| Texas.
Let me ask the farmer if there is any
thing else he raises that makes him money
any faster2 II is not necessary that you
raise carloads at time; raise just what
you are able in the room allotted on the
farm, and raise them good, and as soon as
there is any quantity in the country sur
rounding any town, competitive buyers
will locate at the most convenient ship
ping points, who will buy your hogs and
ship them to his home market, where
there is always demand in excess of the
supply. AS the prices paid at the Fort
Worth market compare with prices
paid at northern markets, it stands
the shippers in hand to ship
them to Fort Worth. The small
feeder does not need to sell to his
home buyer unless he wishes, but can get
his neighbors to aid him in making car
of the same kind of hogs as his own,
bring them in and sell them himself, and
pro-rate the proceeds when he gets home,
+ or send them to some reliable commission

/ home at all. The Fort Worth market is
/ open to all, the large and the small, and
all will be treated with uniform courtesy
| The greatest advantage of a home
live stock market rebounds to the
! man who is always shaping up
some hogs or butchers stuff to
market. The Fort Worth market looks
to such man to aid them in making the

take rank with the markets that now
rank the largest in the world. Each day

easily to buy what he lacks.

discovery that second-crop potatoes, even

dependent on the north for seed potatoes,

Keen the Good Brood Sow.

The tendency among breeders and
farmers is toward using too much young
stock in the breeding pen, says the Swine
herd. With the boar this tendency is not
so harmful as with the sow. A boar in
his first season of service will virtually
establish his value as a breeder. But the
sow must be given a chance. Neither the
first litter or the second will fully test
her capabilities 1t is not uncom-
mon for a young sow to farrow a
very small litter and later raise large lit
tiers. If you have good young sow, well
bred and tinelooker don't sacrifice her
if she only farrows two or three pigs the
first litter, especially if she is a free

three more chances. There is no more
risk with her than with another young
sow. and the chances of her development
into a hrst-class brood sow are good.
All admit that aged brood sows

the temptation is great TO fit for market

COTTON DAMAGED By RAIN.
From Every Section Comes Complaint
of Too Much Moisture for the Crop.

From Every Section Comes Complaint
of Too Much Moisture for the Crop.
The possibility of a record-breaking
crop is somewhat reduced by the fact that
the incessant rains for the past month
have damaged the crop to such an extent
that in some localities the yield will be
below the average. In the section tribu-
tary to Savannah. the frequent rains have
caused the fruit 10 rust and scald, while
shedding has been enormous. Below is
published a few of the reports received
from correspondents yesterday:
UPLAND COTTON.
Midwife, Burke County. Sept There
is nothing new TO report about cotton. It
is opening rapidly, and if 1t is gathered
as fast as it opens the bulk OF the crop
will be out by Oct IS. The crop in this
section is going to be short. The heavy
rains for the past two months have
caused it TO scald and rust.
Lumpkin, Stewart County, Sept. L.
We are having too much rain; cotton
bolls rotting in many places; opening
rapidly, and being marketed The crop
is damaged from the rains.
Tennille, Washington County, Ga, Sept.
2-Ihe weather conditions have been
more favorable for cotton the last ten
days. IL is Delng marketed as fasb as 10
can be prepared. The foliage is very
thick on the plant, and there has been so
much cloudy weather and rain that the
cotton that is now opening is inferior in
appearance, much of it being widowed
before it opened The size Of the cotton
weed is misleading. and very many farm
ers will be disappointed in the yield. The
most observant ones say there Is not more
than two-thirds Of a crop, or three-fourths
at best The oldest farmers cannot re-
member a summer when there was so
much rain as there has been this.
