FOR SHEEP PASTURE.

G. E. Loose, Rock county. MINI. writes
TO the Farm, Stock and Home:
have about twenty-five acres OF
meadow clover sod, on which forty sheen
ran last summer; 1 cut in June what
the sheep did not eat, then for seed in
lali Some seed shelled before / got
1t cut. Have another field to turn sheen
IN this year, so that / can get the first
seeded again for sheep pasture. 1. Should
ploW shallow early In spring, SOW tn
oats and seed down with timothy and
clover, or disc and drill in oats with
timothy and clover and cut oats for hav
TO feed sheep? 2. Will much of the old
clover grow this year? 3. VIII rye make q
good sheep pasture? 4. How much each
OF clover and timothy should 1 SOW for a
sheep pasture? 8. Would you SOW clover
and timothy or clover alone for sheep?'
Ans.--1. Plow shallow and seed in tha
ordinary way, using very small grin
on which to experiment with the discjng
2. The old clover plants naturally die at
the end Of two years. The sl1ellel ont
seeds may grow. 3. Rye makes pasture
OF good quality for sheep, Is two weeks
earlier than grasses, and for an early
pasture yields well. 1t can also be fol
lowed with corn, or sorghum and rape
and thus make a heavy yield per acre
for the year. 4. Sow seven pounds tino-
thy and six of clover per acre. s. Glover
and timothy combined Is little surer
crop than either alone.

ISOLATION for the Advancement of Science,
series of over twenty products made
from corn stalks was exhibited. From
the fiber en- excellent quality Of paper
can be secured. The fiber can be press
sd into cakes and used as absorbents for
waste products. Ike low grade moiasses
from sugar houses. This cake can. be
kept and used for feeding purposes. The
fiber, or cellulose. can be used for maxi
ing gun cotton, nitry- glycerine smoke
less powder, and other explosives. The
fiber is also valuable for packing in
war vessels. There is an abundance of
corn stalks in the United States that can
be used for these various purposes, and
the extent to which they will be utilized
for paper production. the manufacture Of
