enough so that q good catch of clover
can be expected. The poorest felds
should have a good large share of the
barnyard manure plowed under. SO
that they may be ready for clover seed

should be confined to lands with a suf

catch may be obtained. There are sew.

grain fields are rather unfit for the tiny
clover seeds. Unless these are scat

be covered too deeply. Also poorly
pulverlzed soil does not permit the rise
of the needed capillary moisture. The

With proper management plowlng
can be followed until the ground
freezes. There are some kinds of
soils, particularly of heavy or cloggy
texture, that II Is considered better to
plow late, thus exposing to the action

like to plant corn on grass land man
ured in the fall and then plowed as
late as possible before planting. In this
way turning under considerable
amount of vegetable material along
with the manure, thus getting excel

plan makes more spring work, but to

Farmers should be fully persuaded in
their own minds as to these things,
and follow the methods that exper-
ience proves to be the most satisfac-
tory and profitable for them.

Bedding Material.

AS it is an object to make all Of the
manure possible, the bedding Of all an
imals will be found to aid very mater
tally in the matter. If there Is no
straw that can be used for bedding,
any waste material available can be
substituted. Some farmers use large
quantities of sawdust, and shavings
from the mills are found available.
Anything that will absorb the liquid
and keep the animals comfortable and
clean will answer good purpose. The
hogs will use up and turn into good
fertilizer large amount of coarse ma
terial, and here may be used what
would hardly be suitable for cattle or
horses, unless run through cutting
machine. Keep these animals well
supplied with material and note II
they do not give full value for every
thing furnished in this line.
