Confidence rlen at Work.

1t is reported that farmer of the
town OF Concord was victimized by a
slick set of confidence men who ale
working new and bold scheme. Two
men appeared at the farmers home
and represented that they we're sell
ing watches, Offering him six watches
for $27. They only carried sample
and after they had closed the deal de-
parted. stating that the watches
would be delivered by other parties
within few days. In due time two
other fellows appeared on the scene
and delivered three of the watches,
claiming that they were not authorized
to collect money and that that part of
the deal would be attended to by a
third party. And now comes the eli
max. Two fellows drove up TO the
farmers house inquiring whether he
had bought some watches, and after
receiving an affirmative answer pre-
sented themselves as lawyer and de-
tective from Chicago, claiming that
cago and that they had warrant for
the farmer They finally scared the
man in signing two notes, one for
$40 and one for 1852, and the prob
abilities are that they sold them at
once and that the farmer will be
called upon to pay in due course of
time.
The astonishing part of the story
is that people will continue to fall vic
Tins to such harefaced swindles. IF
they would simply follow the rule not
to deal with strangers and under no
circumstances sign papers, whatever
they may purport to be, such occur
rences would be impossible. -Jeffer-

How to Secure a Stand of Clover
by Seeding with Oats or Barley.
BY w. A. HENRY,

B1 w. A. HENRY
Director Agricultural Experiment Station,
Madison, Wis.
FIRST METHOD: CUTTING THE OATS
OR HAY.--Prepare the land thorough
ly and seed with cats, timothy and
clover in usual manner. When the
oat grains are coming into the milk
stage, cut the oat crop for hay and
cure in the cock. In this way the
oat crop is removed from the field
two Or three weeks earlier than usual,
leaving to the young clover and grass
plants all of the available sunshine
and moisture. In favorable seasons
considerable pasture or a small crop
ct hay may be secured the same sea-
son. Oat hay is excellent for dairy
cows, horses and young stock gener-
ally. 1t cures nicely in the cock and
makes dust free hay.
SECOND METHOD: PAsTuRING THE:
GREEN CRoP.-Prepare the field and
the seed as above mentioned. When
the young oat plants are eight or ten
inches high, turn stock into the. field
to pasture thereon. The cattle will
eat off the oats, and in doing so let
the light and moisture reach the
young grass and clover plants, which
gro" rapidly under the conditions
prevailing Stock should not be
turned into the field on rainy DAYS or
Immediately after rains while the
ground is soft. It is true, the stock

but not near SO many as one will at
first suspect A fair amount of pas
ture will be secured from the GROWING
oats, and the grasses and clover VIII
come on rapidly, furnishing good pas,
ture by August in favorable seasons.
Ii the stock does not feed off the oats.
eveEly, run mower over the field to-
level the crop.
GENERAL STATEMENTS. What has
been said III regard to oats applies
equally well TO barley. Be sure tn
SOW plenty OF grass and clover seed
this always pays.
At our experiment station we have
for many years past tried the first.
method described without a sinole
failure to secure good catch of clover,
and timothy. Remember that if is,
the last three weeks when the orain
crop is rlpenlng and taking so much
moisture out of the ground that kills;
the young clover ard timothy plants.
We ask the clover plants to grow in a
field of ripening grain where ordinary
weeds cannot survive lis it a wonder
then that in dry seasons the clover
fails?
The second method has been tried
Tor two years at the Wisconsin station
with excellent success. Sometimes il
looked as though the cattle and sheen
would tramp the young grass and clo-
yer plants to death, but they grew ON
in surprising way and soon covered
the field with carpet of green. fur-
much pasture.
REPORTING RESULTS Wisconsin
farmers in need of a good clover catch,
are urged to experiment with one or.
both OF these methods and each one.
doing SO is requested to report his ex-
periepce to the Agricultural Exneri..
ment station, Madison, Wis.
