Value Of Glover.

Readers Of this department may think
that considerable space is being used to
urge the sowing Of clover as fertilizer,
but when 1t is considered that the cause
of more than one-half of the failures,
or partial failures, OF farm crops is due
to the lack of nitrogen and humus in the
soil, the subject Is worthy of all the space
that may be given to it. Experiments
recently made show clearly the value
Of clover as a manurial agent. A field
had crimson clover sown on it in the
fall for three years, the growth being
plOwed under in the sprng, and chem
ical analysis of the soil from this field
at the end of the three years, compared
with the soil from an adjoining field on
which clover was not sown, shows that
before the clover was sown the field con-
tanned IL per cent. of nitrogen, and at
the end Of three years .21 per cent, with
a gain Of about 1 per cent. Of humus; or,
in other words, that with the increased
amount Of humus the soil was able to
store up for the use of crops nearly
fifty tons per acre more of moisture.
What Is the use of buying nitrogen as
fertilizer when you can get it practi-
cally for nothing and greatly benefit the
physical condition of your land and it's
ability for holding moisture by simply
seeding it down to clover for few
years?

A Desirable Garden Plant.

Many of our old garden favorites rank
among the best of indigenous plants for
general cultivation, and the majority Of
them are especially suitable for the large
grounds surrounding the average farm
house. This illustration shows an old
and well-known plant which has been
lost sight Of to some extent. Saponaria,
or, as 1t is more familiarly known, Boun-
cling Pet, is a native Of Europe, growing
to height Of two feet and blooming con-
tiRuOusly from July to September.
The plant is a rampant grower, bearing
broad heads of pink and white flowers.
1t is inclined to be weedy and must be
kept under control to prevent it spread
ing to grounds where it is not wanted.
1t is one of the best plants we have for
neutralizing, that is, for being forced
to make it's home in any spot we may
wish to cover, and it is especially useful
for planting at the base Of large trees
where bare roots are always found and
which are more or less unsightly. AS
the plant does not require soil that Is
rich, nor yet any great amount of sun
shine, it will grow rapidly under trees
and quickly cover the bare ground. 1t is
a hardy perennial, and once established
need not be disturbed.

Broilers for Market,

Poultrymen can usually make 1t prof
liable TO raise early chicks for broilers,
as there Is always large and increas-
Ing demand for this class of poultry.
About the only secret of success in rails.
ing broilers is to feed them properly
so as to get them to the necessary size
and weight in the shortest space of time,
and the same principle of feeding applies
whether the chicks are raised by incu-
batOrs or the hens A practical raiser
OF broilers furnishes the following points,
which are thoroughly reliable.
The larger breeds are used, and pref
erence given to WyandOtte and Ply
mouth Rocks. The larger breeds can be
made ready for market two or three
weeks younger than the Leghorn and
other small breeds. For the first week
after Matching, beginning the second
day, no food at all being given the first
day, the young chicks are fed broken
crackers sOftened in water, cooked mush
and bird seed. After they are ten days
or two weeks old they are fed at day
light hard grain like whole wheat, fol-
lowed about o'clock with a soft feed
OF equal parts of corn meal and mid
dlings. Cracked corn, cracked oats or
cracked wheat is fed at noon and at
night The houses are kept artiflcially
warm and the grain Is always fed in
sand or litter, so that the chicks are
obliged to work to get 1t. BY this meth
cd they are kept healthy and grow rap
idly and will bring a high price when
they weigh one or two pounds each.

The Window Garden,

If the plants in the window garden
have bIOomed profusely during the win
ter they will doubtless droop more or
less during this month and seem to re-
quire rest, but unless they began to
bloom very early in the winter do not
allow them to rest now, for 1t Is not
necessary, as all they need is food.
Carefully remove the earth from the
pots as far down as it Is possible to do
so without injuring the roots and add
new soil made rich by mixture Of we'll
rotted stable manure. Remove all dead
and. partially dead foliage and blossoms
and give the plants the warm, sunny
corner in the window, where they will
start up again and furnish another sup
ply of bloom equal in both quality and
quantity to that Of earlier in the season.
Many Of the summer-foWering bulbs
and roots, such as Gamma, gladiolus, ca
ladium and tuberose may be started in
the house now In boxes or pots. They
are rather slow growers, especially the
Gamma and tuberose, so they will not get
more than fairly started by the time they
may be transplanted to the open ground.
This method, If followed by paintings
OF the bulbs in the open ground as soon
as the weather will permit, furnishes
bloom from the house-started plants sew
eral weeks earlier than would otherwise
be possible, followed closely by blooms
from those set in the open ground, and
thus extending the season Of bloom to it's
limit.

Root Pruning.

It has long been the practice in tree
planting to carefully save all the small
roots as we'll as the large ones, spread
ing them out when the tree is being
set and forcing the soil tenderly among
and around them. One day it was dis
covered that it was a good policy to
shorten the roots Of strawberry plants
when setting them out, and it was but
step from this practice to that Of the
root pruning of trees. The natural result
OF cutting back the roots of trees several
inches when planting is that from the
severed aads will start out strong roots
which will penetrate the soil deeply
and extend in all directions. The small
roots of trees are usually very tender
and in the majority of cases when the
tree is dug these small roots are in
jured beyond recovery, while the larger
ones suffer little or no injury. The plan
has proved wise one in practice, for,
as a well-known horticlturist says,
When we consider that a root-graft
consisting Of a two-inch root united to
a four-inch scion always grows, why
should we think it strange that a tree,
cut back to twelve inches, with a four
inch root Of its own, will grow?"
1t is, Of course, understood that the
intelligent planter will observe that with
root pruning must also be practiced top
pruning; that Is, the shoots OF the tree

ing cannot be grown in the West and
compete with the fruit of these Varie-
ties as 1t is grown in the East. Here is
a point growers in both sections will do
we'll to observe.
Jonathan is another first-class variety
for both sections. 1t should be picked
early, for 1t is inclined, especially in the
West, to drop from the tree If allowed to
become too ripe. York Imperial also
seems to do we'll every where and Is be-
ing largely planted for foreign shipment,
as it is favorite in European markets.
1t is large and prolific bearer and pro-
duces abundantly. The fruit is always OF
good flavor and commands high price.
The Winesap is one of the very best va
rieties for the West. The tree is strong
grower and great feeder and the ground
needs to be kept rich and mellow in or
der to obtain the best results.

pure milk, which retains the fat so i'm

II SKINNED milk or water Is used for

some other way, which is usually done
by means Of meat scraps or tallow. The
food mixed as described is very rich, but

brown iron paint of the market and lin
seed oil. This is very durable and does

Some Valuable Apples.

Certain varieties Of apples are much
more desirable for the Western apple
sections than for the East, but some of
the best Of our tested varieties seem to
be equally valuable in all apple growing
sections of the country. The Ben Davis
Is one of these varieties; 1t is early and
an even, regular bearer and most pro-
ductiVe. 1t is also hardy and unusually
free from the attacks of insects. Apple
growers Of the West have the advan-
tage Of Eastern growers with this va
riety, which in the apple regions of the
West grows larger and Is more highly
colored than when grown in the East.

Kidney and Uric Acid Troubles Quickly Cured.

Swamp-ROOt, Sent Free by Mail

Men and women doctor their troubles
so often without benefit, that they get
discouraged and skeptical. In most such
cases serious mistakes are made In doc
toring and In not knowing what our
trouble is or what makes us sick. The
unmistakable evidences OF kidney trou-
BILE are pain or dull ache in the back,
too frequent desire to pass water, scanty
supply, smarting irritation. AS kidney
disease advances the face looks sallow
or pale, puffs or dark circles under the
eyes, the feet swell and sometimes the
heart acts badly. Should further evi-
dence be needed to find out the cause Of
sickness, then set urine aside for twenty
four hours; II there Is a sediment or
settling 1t is also convincing proof that
our kidneys and bladder need doctoring.

suffer as much from kidney and bladder
trouble as men do.
