..,,cc.ssful. We are inclined to the

successful. We are inclined to the
opinion soiling crops would be more
economical than SLIDING clover. The
Wisconsin experiment station has
been making clover ensilage almost
every year for the past twenty with
more or less success, but reports say
that only in a few instances has the
ensilage been entirely satisfactory.
Sometimes it is toe watery. The
stems of the plants are frequently
strong and tough, and in many in
stances the silage has a rank, disa-
greeab1e odor about it that is unpleas-
ant. The imperfect character of the
s;lage has been laid in some instances
to cutting too early. In others, to
cutting too late. In some instances
the putting of clover into the silo too
wet, and yet in others to putting 1T IN
same too dry. The manner OF han
ding it has been varied from year to
year in order to meet these obJec-
tions, and yet the results have not
been satisfactory.
1t is remembered that this station
has been eminently successful IN MAX
ing corn ensilage, and that, too, under
varying conditions. We would not adj
wise using clover in the silo when
wether conditions are such that it IAN
be cured. There is not that improve
ment or difference between clover en-
silage and clover hay as there is be-
tween corn ensilage and corn slower
or fodder.-Farmers' Guide.

Fertile soils are those containing
the following amounts of the follow
ing plant fools, as minimums: Potash
0.5 per cent, phosphoric acid ~ per
cent, lime 0 5 per cent, iron 20 per
cent. Poor soils contain as maximums,
potash OIL prr cent, p~hosphorlc acid
COS per cent, lime 0.05 per cent, iron
o,s per cent. All other fertillizing eie-
ments are III ample amounts in all
soils. The fertile soil should also hold
S per cent. organic matter as a source
of nitrogen, and the poor soil 2 per
cent. The body of all soils is com
posed of sand and clay. These vary
in composition according to their
source. These serve to hold plants in
Mace. and az a store house of plant
food. and aslo give mechanical char
aeter of the soil. Clay holds water
and sand prevents the soil from~hold-
inc too much water. Clay is compact
and sticky according to the amount
of vegetable matter or humus 1t con
tains. Sand is fine or coarse accord
ing to the size of its particles. Fine
sand and fine clay properly mixed
give body to u best soils.-farm

Iowin the Crops.

In blowing crops and also in plant
ing and ~cultivating them many farm
ers do not consider the topography
and characteristics of the soil. For
some reason they want corn here and
cotton there, and the sweet potato
patch there, and the arrangement
NAV be good or bad. They run their
rows up and down hill, or across IL
without considering the effect upon
drainage. For this reason many
farms have had their fertility washed
away toward the sea, and the farmer
wonders why his land does not yield
as il once did. We know a C rich
black land farm in Grimes county,
Texas. with a deep soil and no rocks
in SIGHT. This farm embraced a hill
on the top of which were h resi-
dence and other buildings. The rows
were run up and down the hill. After
a few wears the bottom rails of the
fence were covered with sediment
washed down from above. In a few
more years the pillow occasionally
scraped a rock; these rocks became
numerous on the surface. and almost
the entire field was covered with
rocks. all the surface soil beng
washed into Beason's creek. The
farm had to be abandoned, and has so
remained for many years.-farm ana

NO MORE SPRING CLEANING.
New Ideas in Household Economy
Make 1t Needless-De cOrat-
ing Instead.

The spring house cleaning as an in
stitution will soon be a thing of the
past. so many of the fittings and APP
pointments now coming into general
use obviate the necessity of the great
domestic upheaval, says the New
York Sum-.
The use of rugs on hardwood floors
as opposed to all-over carpets makes
it possible for the housewife, for one
thing, to keep rooms p~erpetually
clean without to heroic pro-
ceedings.
Then, in the average household, fur
niture of the cumbersome, heavily
carved type has given place to pieces
of light weight easily moved to allow
of sweeping. In fact less furniture
is used than formerly, the walls, cell
ings, windows and door frames of
modern dwellings being of the per-
manently decorative character that
forbids the employment of super
fluous furniture.
The use of steam heat during the
winter lessons many times the
amount of dirt resulting from the
general pse of open fires. Electric
lights also simplify the housewives
cares, doing away with all the army
of lamps and hand lights she had to
care for. And whatever simplifies the
regular order of household work is a
gain in the aggregate cleaning.
Heavy and multiplied draperies are
also going out of style with the up
holstered state furniture that re-
CURED much pummeliDg to get the
dust out.
The new order of spring household
work can be better described as
spring decorating than house clean
ing. The winter curtains and por-
there's are superseded by those OF
lighter weight and suggestion, the
window boxes are got in order, the
summer door mats substituted for
the heavy winter boot cleaners and
like seasonable changes are made,
Few modern houses require the gen
eral up-rigging and dislocation that
old-time housewives were compelled
to enforce in order to fout the win
ter dirt,
