THE MAKING OF CLOVER HAY.
Well Made. 1t IL the Best All-Round Feed
the Farmer Can Provide
for Hls Stock.

The clover is again showing its fra
grant red blossoms, and this reminds
us that the haymaking season is near
at hand. Good clover hay is the best
all-round feed that. the farmer can
provide for his stock, while poor clo-
eris little better than nothing. 1t is
surprising how much poor clover hay
is stored away each harvest, or how
little attention the average farmer
pays to condition that must be OBJ.
served If good hay is secured Now
that it is tolerably certain that good
prices are going to prevail for the
grain we grow, it becomes very impor-
tant that we make grass or hay
take its place as far as possible.
If we can make lot of good clover
hay to feed our horses that do not work
next winter as well as stock cattle,
very little, if any, grain will have to be
laid by for them, and we will have so
much the more to take to market
What are the conditions necessary to
get first-class quality Of clover hay?
First, the plant must be in full bloom,
with some of the heads beginning to
brown. This is the time 10 begin cut
ting, If other conditions are right, and
for ten days or two weeks after the
clover will not be too ripe. 1t is best
to begin just as soon as you can, as a
wet spell of weather may throw you too
late in finishing up the work. The next
important item, and in fact the most
important of all in clover cutting, is
the weather. You can't make first
class clover hay in wet weather or be-
tween showers, and its no use trying.
We must not only have clear weather
overhead, but the ground must be dry
to such an extent at least that there
will not be excessive evaporation from
the earth after the clover is cut down.
1t usually takes two or three days sun
shine after good rain to dry up the
ground SO that it is possible to cure
your hny as it should be- If the soil is
damp and you cut down your clover
when the stalk; seem dry they soon
take up moistme much faster than the
rays of the sun will throw it of.
When this moisture and weather con-
dition is just right the work of making
clover hay can be pushed along very
rapidly. Cut your grass down in the
forenoon, after the dew has dried off,
and then take it to the barn in the
afternoon. Or, if you are in q hurry,
cut down some OF your clover late in
the afternoon aga this will be ready to
move away by ten o'clock the next day,
or - scon as the dew is Oh. Don't wait

HERE AND THERE.

From an acre of land three times
as much silage as hay can be grown.
This is one pointer to show us how to
make our few acres more profitable,
The silo will never go out of date.
There is no question but that
mixed farming should be considered to
be best suited to the wants of farmers,
especially if it permits the feeding out
OF that which grows on the farm.
One feature of the effect of the war
up agricultural products is the in
creased demand for heavy hogs. The
statement is made that marked
change has taken place in this regard.
1T is poor economy to continue feed
ing an unprofitable animal. Whatever
the price, it is more economical to sell
all the stock not needed for breeding,
for milk, for work. nor young enough
to make thrifty growth.
Too much fat is fatal to the eve
about to lamb. She should be in good
healthy condition, but not too fat. A
grain ration of bran is preferable to
one Of corn. The former produces bono
and muscle instead of fat.
The millions of bushels Of wheat
fed to hogs in past seasons proved q
valuable experiment, in that it pro-
duced better meat that all-corn-fed
hogs. 1t was better for the hog and
better for the production of lean meat.
The old idea that manure should
be stacked mp to ferment and rot Is
still adhered to by many farmers, not
withstanding actual tests and analyses
show that tn process of rottinG is car
ried on at<he expense of the manural
value of the fertilizer BY liberating the

Truck Farming.

Truck farming, according to the GEN.
sus OF 1890, is most remunerating, pay
ing an average of $50 per acre, and
over $3.50 for every man, woman and
child employed in the business. The
very early and late season, without
frost, gives to our products a peculiar
value. For instance, it costs no more
to grow strawberry in February, that
sells at so cents to 81 quart than it
does to grow strawberries in June,
that sell at to 10 cents quart. Gil
mate is OF great value, but costs YOU
nothing, but its operations are often
very expensive or the reverse. Truck
raised south has very good keeping
qualities, can be carried long distances.
One hundred miles nearer the gulf of
Mexico may give you 80 days earlier
products. while the time of transporta-
ton will be only matter of two or
three hours We want expert truck
men by the hundred at all our villages,
that cars may be loaded at any one
point. The advantages of truck farm
ing over general farming are very
many. 1t requires less land; it is much
easier to get help, and you do not need
to keep laborers when not needed.
You need not burden your wife with
the care of help. Your location is in
or near town. Schools, churches,
lectures, and the circus, doctors, stores,
shops, are all near by. Your property
kept in order, is always attractive and
Your business is surer than
the fruit growers, better than the
farmers, as good as the bank.-South-
