SPRING SEEDING OF CLOVER.

SPRING SEEDING OF CLOVER.
The usual practice among farmers
is to sow clover on the wheat in the
spring. This is done in order that
the growing wheat may shade the
young clover until the clover is we'll
rooted and able TO take care of ITSELF
Not every farmer, however, secures a
perfect stand of clover. as II is impos-
sible to cover the seeds. Some wheat
fields are narrowed in spring, and with
benefit. but the ground is usually too
wet TO do so when the clover seed is
sown, which should be done very early
The cause of failure to secure a good
"catch" of clover may be due to in
ferior seed, to inefficient quantity Of
seed, to washing by rains. to destruc-
tion by birds and to exposure TO cold.
Before the seed can terminate it must
be covered. even if but slightly. Much
Of the seed is left on the surface, not
being washed in by the rains or melt
ing SHOWS, and is lost.
The two special fertilizers for clover
are lime and potash. When the land
is occupied by wheat the wheat uses
potash literally. and the younger
clever must compete with the wheat
in securing a supply. The first growth
of the clover after II is seeded is the
most important. as an early start and
rapid growth places it more securely
beyond injury of drought later in the
season. The food most suitable for
young clover should be that which is
soluble, so as to enable the young
plants to Immediately use it. Lime.
therefore. should be applied in form
that is soluble. hence plaster answers
the purposes. Wood ashes provide
potash ready for the rain to dissolve
it. II. then. an application of 100
pounds of plaster and 500 pounds of
wood ashes be applied on an acre the
mixture will greatly aid the young
clover, as well as assist the growing
wheat to push rapidly forward.
The chief cause of failure with Glow
er is foul seed and imperfect prepare
ticn of the land. There are but few
clover fields free from weeds. the seeds

to spread the evil. The quantity of
seed used is also too limited sometimes.
1t should be a rule TO always use TOO
much seed rather than to incur the
risk of too little. 1t would be well if
corn should follow wheat. so as to
work and cultivate the land. in order
to clean it of weeds and SOW the clover
seed in the fall. as by SO doing the
land could be thoroughly prepared and
made fine. the seed being lightly
brushed in. thus enabling the farmer
to have his field of clover uniform.
Failures also occur from lack of sup
ply of lime and potash after the clover
is well under growth. All clover land
should be well lined after narrowing.
and If supply of wood ashes cannot
be obtained the crude potash salts
should be applied as well as the lime.

CARE OF SWINE.

Well-bred swine cannot be treated
in the haphaZard manner which is Of
ten given to the common pigs of the
farmyard. have seen farmers pay
good prices for pure-bred swine. and
then abuse and neglect them 50 that
the results of the experiment were
poorer than from common pigs. In
order to get proper results from pure.
bred animals of any kind they must be
treated carefully. and with the idea
that they are very susceptible to their
surroundings and environments. Chase
and worry pure-bred SOW. as many OF
the common farmyard animals are,
and she will refuse to produce progeny
that shows any advance upon the
scrubs. Indeed. | think sometimes
they tend to degenerate faster than
the common stock This fact is often
noticeable when fne-bred swine are
shipped By railroad to distant points.
They arrive in a nervous. frightened
condition, and they will scarcely eat
enough to keep them alive. Animals
in such condition need nursing. They
require the kindliest sort of attention.
Treat them as if you wanted TO make
friends with them, and in a few days
they will feel at home
There is profit in improving the herd
with pure-bred stock. but the better
these animals get the more careful
We must be in feeding. tending and
handling. They require better treat
ment all around. If one is not willing
TO give this to them. il will not pay

scrubs. They are better suited To
such persons conception of the bust
ness. There are farmers today who
argue against pure-bred swine. simply
on that score. They do not care to
raise dollhouse animals. as they style
them. and so they stick to their scrubs.
Now pure-bred swine are not dollhouse
animals. but then neither are they
scrubs. They do not demand cod
ding. but they do require good ration.
al feeding. breeding and attending
These are essential to their best de
velopment. They are also necessary
for the larger profits which the farmer
has a right TO expect.
Starting the herd with a good boar
is the first step. but the good blood
thus injected into the herd must be
kept up and cultivated. IL is neces
sary in every possible way to make
the most of the qualities developed
which go toward improving the AM

good qualities any too much in our
treatment of these animals. and if we

MULCHING IN WINTER.

In districts where winter grain is
liable to be disturbed by frost, slight
mulch is always preferable. for. in
addition to protecting the crop from
heaving during the winter. its guam.
THY will be materially increased. Let
those who doubt this principle place
a board in their fields when blowing
at this time. removing it in early
spring. and they will find that during
the whole summer the portion that
had been so covered will produce
more luxuriously than elsewhere. In
some districts, where blackberries. and
even currants and gooseberries are
raised. they are materially improved
by i slight winter mulch: even grape.
vines will better protect their fruit the
following year by being thus pro,
tected during winter. Where salt hay
is required for bedding. it may be col
lected with horse rake from the land
where it has been used as mulch in
early spring TO supply the stables with
bedding during the summer.

why they like nest eggs That is one
explanation why hens olten prefer to

than in a nest by themselves. They
feel that other hens have found the
place safe, therefore they do not have

one.
The nest egg should not be a doubt

by the London Globe:
\ British journalist of good reputa-
ton was called on suddenly to write an

sat down full of enthusiasm for his

pretty complete knowledge. and wrote
Il glowing article. He sent it 10 the

YALrE OF NEST EGGS

Perhaps il may be a within, or pos
sibly it may be because my grand
mother thought an egg should be left
in the nest, that | think so, too. AT
any rate. my grandmother was right.
as usual, and experience teaches me
each year that it pays TO provide nest
eggs. The reason is not hard to see.
1t is apparent TO any one who will OBJ
serve the nature of fowls. The cause
is true of all bird kind. Anything that
excites suspicion that the nesting place
is unsafe causes them 10 hunt n new
one and the same exciting cause TO re-
tard egg production, as does fright or
change of location.
1t is an inherited instinct. splen-
did example of Darwin's great law of
the survival of the fittest This is easy
to understand. In the wild state it
would be fool hen that having stolen
her nest and having had her eggs
eaten by fox. would keep right on lay
ing in the same old place. thus keep
ing the fox in eggs all summer. Such
hens, no doubt. have existed from time
to time, but they failed TO perpetuate
themselves-they were not fit. The
wise hen, when her eggs were de-
stroyed. straightway sought new
and safer place TO lay her eggs and
rear her young Her prudence saved
her family. They naturally inherited
their mothers good sense. This inner
itei trait, transmitted through count
less generations, became an inherited
instinct.
That is why hens always prefer to
hide their nests. That is the reason
