Ameriean-Grown CIoycr. seed.

To the merits of American clover
seed the Secretary of Agriculture in
his annual report testilies as follows:
owing to a controversy in Europe re-
garding the relative value of American
and European clover seed the depart
ment has undertaken some compara-
tive experiments, the initial series OF
which was conducted at Washington.
Many samples of clover seed OF known
origin from the different countries OF
Europe and from different parts of the
United States and Canada were grown
under like conditions. Cuttings of
hay were made at suitable intervals,
the product of each plat being care
fully weighed. These experiments,
which have now been under way for
two years, show conclusiyely that un-
der the conditions existing here the
European red clover is decidedly infe-
rior in productiyaness to the Ameri-
can. Apparently the American strain
10 better adapted to the conditions of
bright sunshine, periodic heat. and
dryness that exist here. For the pur-
poses of our farmers, therefore, a de-
cision of the question whether to use
American or imported seed is easily
reached. During the past year series
OF supplementary experiments has
been started at typical selected areas
in different parts of the United States.

Two Kinds of Muck,

Although muck is subject that has
oeen written about much, 1t is as yet
one that is only half understood by
many farmers that have, often un-
known to themselves, a bed of muck
available. One man says: Haul out
your muck and mix it with the manure
at once" Another says, by no means
Dig up your muck in the fall and let
1t lie in ridges, so that the frost can
work on it and through It," Both are
right, for each man is speaking of
particular kind OF muck.
In muck bed will often be found
two kinds of muck. That on top seems
to be moist black soil. 1t is so friable
that it falls easily into a disintegrated
mass. Such muck, If tested with lit
mus paper, will often show almost no
acid. Such is ready for composing
at once or to be applied to land de-
ficient in humus. Its readiness for use
is perhaps due as much as anything tc
the effect of the frosts of many win
ters.
Below the first layer OF muck will
often be found a cheesy mass. 1t is
sticky and is in that state of no value
for composing. 1t not infrequently
contains as high as so per cent of wa
ter. If dug in the summer it dries out
hard and lumpy and is in that condl-
tion fit only for fuel, for which it is
used in some European countries. TO
reduce it to an available fertilizer it
should be heaped in long ridges in the
fall and left to the action of the frost
till it has taken on the character OF
that to which reference was made
above. 1t may then be composted or
used in its character as a humus
maker.

Denmark rs Hog Producer.

Denmark is becoming a very active
rival of the United States as producer
of hogs. In 1861 the swine population
of Denmark is given at 1000. By
1881 it had increased to I'll 900 and by
1898 the number was 1 1,16S,OOO 1t has
doubtless increased steadily during the
last three years, but the official figures
for those years are not at hand.
The prohibition OF the importation
OF live hogs into Germany and the
United Kingdom, which countries were
Denmarks principal customers in this
line. resulted In the establishment or
slaughter houses in Denmark. and the
increase in the production of Danish
bacon and hams in recent years has
been phenomenal. The exports OF
hams and bacon from Denmark have
grown from 100000 Danish po:rds in
1878 to 129.700,000 Danish pounds in
1898. the value increasing from 4,110,-
600 kroner IN 1878 to 47,0S0,0O0 kroner
in 1898, the value of the kroner being
26S cents.
There are now twenty-five co-opera
tive slaughter houses in Denmark,
which in 1899 killed about 1000 head
of swine, at value of about 81 $4,000
kroner (about $4,000 000), and about
22,450 head of cattle for export, at a
value of about 3,5OO,000 kroner. The
largest slaughter houses killed from
$4,000 to G1,000 pigs in 1899, and the
smaller from 5000 to 10000 In 1897
twenty-one slaughter houses were stat-
ed as having been established, at cost
of 3,543,0 900 kroner, and the number of
persons sharing in the profits OF these
twenty-one establishments was Al ,72S.
Adding to these the two largest, those
OF Odense and Holding, the first OF
which cost 1,750,O00 kroner besides
two smaller slaughter houses and ex-
tensions for the slaughtering OF cattle
for export and other objects, and the
total outlay amounts to $4,000 900
kroner, and the total number Of CO.
operators about $4,000.

distance Apart to Set Apple Trees.

From Farmers Review: Again this
same old subject has come up for
rehearing. II we are to Judge by the
divergence OF opinions held by writer's
in our various farm papers, it must
appear to novices a complicated ques
ton. |, for one, wish | had no mere
difficult matters to deal with in horti-
culture. People know that their chill
dren have to nave clothes according
to their size. Different varieties of
fruit trees differ very much as to the
size Of their growth. Location and eli
mate also play important parts. A
Talman Sweet in some OF our middle
and eastern states would need at least
forty feet each way. The same variety
grown in the northwest would not need
thirty feet each way. If one were set
ting out Tetofskys twenty feet each
way would be an abundance of room.
Que rule cannot be made to apply to
all varieties and all locations. The
most approved plan for setting apple
trees in the northwest, and one quite
generally adopted here by our best in
formed norticulturists, as about this:
With the large growing varieties place
the rows thirty Feet apart and set the
trees twenty -eet apart in the rows. l
refer to such varieties as Talman
Sweet, Plums Cider, and Northwest
Greening. Varieties like Tetofsky and
Whitney can be set in rows twenty
feet apart, the trees being fifteen feet
apart in the rows. The rows should
run north and south, or, what is better
still, in the line of the sun in Febru-
AIRY. This plan has been thoroughly
tested here and this arrangement of
the trees has proved to be very i'm
portant factor in protecting the trees
from sun killing, which has proved SO
detrimental to orchards in the north
west. Here we have too much hot
sun and dry air. In the eastern part
Of the country they nave too much
cloudy, damp weather and not enough
sun. In setting apple trees one needs
to know his varieties and what each
one requires. He must also understand
his location and climate. BY follow
ing this plan one can have the rows the
same distance apart east and west, but
can set the trees of smaller growth
closer together in the rows north and
south. This gives each variety its
proper space and aids very much in
making an orchard self-protecting.
