of each set Of wings, and a one-half
inch bolt or inches back of the first.
A crosspiece is placed ON top of the
frame about 12 inches from the rear
end, and bolt through this and each
wing piece. A similar orosspiece placed
about 3 feet from the front end and
bolted, the joints we'll painted as they
are put together, completes as good a
harrow frame as can be made. A small
bolt through each end Of the several
pieces is a protection from checking or
splitting. This frame filed with three
quarter inch steel teeth completes an
implement which is tho best general
purpose harrow we have ever used, and
if kept under shelter when not in use
will last for many years. For sod and
new ground and among stumps it has
no equal.
Square and hinged harrows we make
of the same material, and put them to-
gether on the same simple plan. For
straight tooth harrows we use larger
teeth and make square or A frames, ac-
cording to fancy.
Our heavy drag is made of seasoned
oak or hickory, of three timbers, by 8
inches and 8 feet long. Finished, it
stands as in the cut, the crosspieces 2
by s, the rests for which are cut 10
inches from each end Of the timbers at
an angle which will bring the upper
corner about l 4 inches forward of the
lower corner. The ties should extend
some 10 inches in front, and there form
the hitching point. The ties may be
fastened with inch wood pins, or with
wood screws. 1t is best, however, to
fasten the middle timber with the
screws, as we sometimes find it neces-
sary to drop out one of them. This i'm
plement, with two fairly heavy teams,
will reduce the hardest clods. Follow
ing this with the straight tooth harrow,
well loaded, will bring the under clods
to the surface, ready to be crushed by
another application of the drag. We also

lowed for the use of these implements.

CLOVER GROWING.
Varieties Preferred In Ohio and Iliinois.
Merits Of NJ MedIum. AlsIke and Crimson.

Varieties Preferred In Ohio ana iitnois.
Merits OF Medium, Aisike and Crimson.
In the laying down Of meadows and
pastures each locality needs separate
consideration, and there is no better plan
than to follow that of successful farm
or in youv neighborhood. Here are some
notes on clover growing in Chic that
afford items Of general interest. The
medium clover is preferred by the aver
age farmer. The alsike makes good
quality of hay, but is very slow in
springing up after the first crop is cut
and will not make more than half as
much rowen as the medium. Crimson
clover has created quite stir, but the
fact seems TO be established that IL Is
not a sure crop north of 80 or 40 degrees.
It would be a valuable acquisition il per-
fectly hardy. In food value clover ranks
higher than any other grass. When fed
alone, il is nearer balanced ration than
anything farmer can grow.
Every farmer knows that clover sod
turns up mellow and friable, quito q
contrast to a timothy turf, which. is
hard, compact and apparently lifeless.
Many farmers complain Of an inability
to secure good "catch" Of clover. Sue
cess has been reported with seeding with
wheat or rye the last Of March or 1st of
April. Try sowing just late enough on
frozen or "honeycombed" surface, IL
possible, to have the freezing and thaw-
ing, together with the rains, cover the
seed before settled warm weather comes.
Then the seed can germinate and grow
without interruption. To insure good
stand the land must be in good oondi-
tion. Prairie Farmer, authority for the
foregoing, also gives letter from Gen.
trail Illinois on the subject Of clover.
Here it is:
The common or medium red clover
has the largest number of desirable
qualities for central Illinois. Where the
chief object is to help the land, the
larger size or the Mammoth variety
gives il some advantage. The fact that
the Mammoth variety also natures at
about the same time as does timothy is
a point in it's favor when sown with
that grass. On the fertile lands of Illi-
nois, however, the coarseness of the
stalks of the larger variety makes it less
desirable as food.
Where red clover does we'll crimson
clover can rarely be proftably substitut-
ed for it. Experience with this variety
in Illinois has generally been unfavor-
able 1t does not certainly withstand
the winters. The fact that It is an an
nual plant instead of biennial is an
objection in many cases, of course not
when it is sown with the intention of
being plowed under in the early spring.
While giving decided preference to the
well tried varieties, we are still hopeful
crimson clover will be found valuable
in parts of southern Illinois. There is
some reason to believe it may do fairly
we'll on lands ON which red clover does
not thrive. 1t ought to have value in
orchards or on other lands where it is
desired to have fall sown crop to plow
under in the spring.
