THE SEEDING OF GLOVER
Some of tho Disadvantages of Broadcnst-

Some of the Disadvantages of Broadcast-
ing, with Advice as to Fertilizers.
1t is when the snow is on the ground
that some farmers seed clover on wheat
land. Lut 1t is doubtful If seeding too
early Is of any advantage. 1t Is true
that broadcasting the seed over the
surface covers every portion, and the
rains carry II into the soil, but there
are periods in the early spring when
the ground is as hard as rock, and TX
the seed is not washed away 1t will be
clustered in spots, leaving others bare,
as is witnessed every season. 1t is not
the case that all farmers venture to
seed down their clover until the sea-
son is warmer, but the rule is to SOW
as soon as 1t can be done. The pro-
per method Is to harrow the wheat
with a smoothing harrow, SOW the
clover seed, and harrow the field
again, which does not in1ure the
wheat, but enables the seed to be bet
ter covered and secure lodgment.
Plenty OF seed Is important, as the
birds destroy a portion, some OF the
seed may be worthless, and portion
is also destroyed should warm spell
| of weather be followed by severe cold.
These causes have prevented good
strands Of clover, although the failure
of the seed was attributed to some
thing else.
Glover is a nitrogen gatherer. That
is, Il procures the greater proportion
OF its nitrogen from the full nitrogen
Of the atmosphere, and by its roots.
which take up nitrogen as ammonia
and nitric acid, when the rains bring
these substances down from the air
and carry 1t into the soil. Any nitro
genous fertilizer is therefore Of but
little value for clover, but the crop is
greatly benefited by potash and lime.
Land plaster (sulphate Of lime), which
is sparingly soluble in water, gives
excellent results on some soils, but
land that has been heavily lined
with air-slaked lime in the fall should
be in excellent condition for clover
provided It is not deficient In potash.
An application OF hundred pounds
of sulphate Of potash will often prove
sufficient to induce a large yield, but
wood ashes, which contain both lime
and potash, cannot be excelled for
clover.
Leaving the value Of clover as a hay
crop aside, 1t Is one Of the best crops
known for restoring the fertility Of the
soil. Its roots, which contain nitrogen
largely, restore that substance to the
soil, and 1t is a practice with many tc

FEMININE SACRIFICES.

Self-Denial,
The doctrine of self-sacrlfice is a

Care OF tho Colt's Feet.

and possibly serious results, Is to
keep a close watch on the colts hoofs
and shape them up as often as occa-

care and good judgment in this work.
1t will very rarely, IL ever, be neces-
sary to pare off the sole Of the hoof;
and II ever this work is done, II should
be done with the greatest care, and the
frog should be carefully avoided. Ex-
cept in possibly very rare cases all
that Is necessary is to cut off the
edges OF the hoof. This Is best done
by setting the hoof on a solid plank
or other smooth, level surface, and
with a chisel cut down and through
