Pasturing First Crop Clover.

Many persons grow red clover
year after year and yet fail TO real,
ize the great possibility of it when
used as hay or pasture. We are in
formed by Mr. George Bellows, of
Maryyille, Mo-, that he recently vis-
tied the farm Of Mr.. D. Cresswell, Of
Braymer, Mo-, where they were put
ting up clover hay that would make
five tons Of cured hay per acre Mr..
Bellows said that the clover was
seeded in the spring Of 1902, and.
that this therefore was the first crop.
While it is true that conditions have
been almost ideal for a heavy crop
of clover this year, yet throughout a
considerable portion of the corn belt
it is hard to find many fields run
ming five tons of cured hay to the
acre. A crop like this requires to
be well seeded on ground that is in
good condition. More persons grow
one or two ton crop than a five ton
crop.
At this season OF the year one has
either stand or not a stand, so
that advice about seeding ETC., is not
appropriate at this time. If good
stand has been obtained there is all
ways temptation to turn stock in
Just as soon as it is thought that it
will stand pasturing, and very often
this is kept up 1ntilsthe approach of
winter. Here is where many per-
sons make a grave mistake. aWebe-
ieye that in some instances injury
results from allowing clover to
grow too rank the first year, but or
dinarily one had better make the
mistake Of having too much top than
too little. Where blue grass pas
lures are holding out well-we would
strongly advise keeping the stock
off the new crop until later in the
season. A fair growth on the sur
face will afford a much needed pro-
lection to the roots during the win
ter and will at the same time tend to
hold snow that would otherwise be
blown in heaps along the fences.
While visiting a; successful. feeder
recently we made inquiry concern
ing his method of handling clover
the first season and was informed
that as q rule he did no pasturing
on it whatever. His idea was that
to obtain q good pasture or a good
meadow it was necessary in the be-
ginning to induce strong growth.
A good top means a strong root sys-
tenn, and in the climate of the corn
belt whore ground freezes deeply
this is exceedingly important. By
cropping off the young plants early
in the fall the root system becomes
stunted and heaying out is much
more apt to take place. If theregu-
lar pastures get a little bare late in
the summer it would be much better
to cut some corn fodder and haul it
to the field daily than to allow ami
mails to pasture down new seeding.

ers last fall, basing their future ex-
pectations upon the prices then rul-
ing. However, in many cases the hog
has come nobly to the rescue, and
has relieved a situation that might
otherwise have been somewhat en-
barrassing. This fact alone is a
strong argument in favor of not put
ting all the eggs in one basket. The
hog has truly earned the title of
banker With corn selling at its
present price the important ques-
ton presents itself as to how to
handle the hogs so as to make the
largest possible gain from a small
grain ration.
While visiting prominent farmer
in the state of Iowa recently our
first observation was that his pas
lures were all fenced hog tight. Up
on mentioning this matter to him
his advice was that hog tight fence
was the best improvement that the
farmer could make. In the case
mentioned hogs were given run
Of several hundred acres, in which
one steer was being pastured on
about two acres. The great bulk of
the hog food was obtained from the
grass, there being but little supplied
in addition to,what was fed to the
steers Not only was the plan adopt-
ed of allowing the hogs q good run
in pastures during the summer and
fall. but the practice was kept up
throughout the winter. OF course,
the hogs had access to shed dur
ing cold weather, but it was claimed
by this feeder that even in the win
ter the great bulk of the food came
from the grass. The pastures refer
red to were never picked bare, but
always had splendid supply of
rouehage ou the surface,
There is no question in our mind
but what, as a rule, too much corn
is fed to hogs during the summer
months Even though they have ac-
cess to pasture, if they are freely
supplied with corr they become lazy
and will roam but little in search Of
grass. By this system Of feeding one
is simply supplementing grain with
grain whereas the cheapest way to
feed is to supplement the grass with
grass. Not only does this apply to
fattening hogs, but it is specially
applicable to those that are kept for
purposes. A free range and
an abundant supply Of grass builds
up bone and muscle, these being the
essentials in all breeding animals.

HANDS OFF!
Contract Jumpers Said to Be Jollied

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
The efforts of the New York club to Sc
cure those players who had been signed by
McGraw from the American League for
this year. but were awarded by the peace
conference to the American League clubs,
cannot help but fall. The ratification of the
peace compact set at rest for all times to
come any claim that the New York club or
any other club might offer against any
player or players
Other clubs In the National League sac
rifced players for the sake Of peace, and
did It without single murmur; so why
should the New York club continue to at
tempt to arouse nl-feeling between the two
leaguesf The fact that George Davis and
Ed Delehanty have talked Of going to court
to be allowed to play with the New York
club instead OF returning to the Chicago and
washington clubs. respectively, of the
American League has caused the suspicion
that these players are making this talk or

GOOD JOCKEYS SCARCE.
Develop Into Stars and Go Back
Quickly.

-
Quickly.
Good jockeys are as hard to find as
needle In q haystack these days. and fabu-
lous sums are being offered for good race
riders most every day. and these boys are
paid princely salaries. At times Jockeys
develop very quickly from ordinary riders
to stars and at most unexpected times.
Take the case of Jockey Lindsey, for in
stance. He Is under contract to ride for
Joe Pugh Of Covington. He was signed by
him last fall. and showed anything but good
form at Latonia- He went to New Orleans
late In the meeting. and after reaching
there made q most excellent record, and
soon was regarded as one of the best boys
at the track The Indications were that the
Pugh horses were to have q good guider
the coming season. and, naturally, Pugh
felt very much elated. He thought SO well
Of Lindsey's ability that when, a few days
ago, Tichener & Co., the Chicago horsemen,
offered him $12, 900 for Lindsey's release he
turned the offer down. Hardly had he done
and Is now In a precarious condition. Even
II he should recover from the injuries which
he received, 1t Is likely that the accident
Will have an effect on his riding, for jock
eys who once meet with an accident usually
grow timid thereafter, and timid jockey
wins few races, for a race rider must have
the courage to take a chance, and, at times,
desperate chance. The case Of Lindsey
Is additional evidence Of the uncertainty OF
gotten $4,000 for his rider, and today he
could not get cent, and, In fact, has no
assurance of having Lindsey's services the
coming season.
