THE FIELD
When to Cut Glover for Hay.

1t will soon be time to cut clover and
grass for hay, if the best quality of
winter feed is desired. Glover should
be cut when in full bloom, or soon af-
ter. writes F. B. Terry, in the Practi-
cal Farmer. If one hasn't much to
cut he may wait until it is a little past
full bloom, as it cures easier at that
time. If he has many acres to cut
so it will take two or three weeks to do
the job, it is better to begin quite ear
ly, rather than have the last of the clo-
yer mature, so that all or nearly all
of the blossoms are turned brown. 1t
will take more work to cure this early
cut clover, but the quality will be
choice. 1t will be more digestible.
Glover that stands until most of the
of it's feeding value. Part of what
would have been digestible when in
full bloom has changed into woody f.
bre that will fill an animal without
feeding it properly. You will have
to feed some grain with this late-cut
clover to make stock do as we'll as they
would on the early cut alone. And
that isn't all. Late cut clover, or
grass, is likely to make trouble with
the digestion, if fed freely and it is
also constipating. Animals are not at
their best when troubled this way.
One loses nothing in the end by cut
ting the first crop of clover extra early,
as rule. He may not get as many
pounds per acre as he would later, but
it is more nutritious and the second

When to Apply Irrigation.

The man who has an irrigation
ditch through his ranch needs to know
when to apply the water and when to
hold it off, Irrigation is the science
of supplying moisture for growing
plants at the proper time demanded
by vegetable life. If the water is put
on the plants before they require it
there will be a check in the growth
and a natural slow development OF
roots, flowers and fruits. Many veg
etables will remain at a standstill and
wait for moisture without being in
jured so far as final results are con-
cerned. If the farmer or gardener
does not understand plant life he Will
probably do the crop more harm than
good by excessive early irrigation.
Corn does not require irrigation un-
til tassels are in sight. If the stalks
appear to be suffering for moisture,
give the land more thorough cultlVa-
ton. Beans and peas will start to-
growing better by keeping the water
away until the plants show blossoms:

of the ground. The experiments or

scores of prominent men in the arid
states demonstrate that a yearly ap'
plication of twenty-four inches of mois-
ture by artificial irrigation produces
better grasses, cereals, fruits and veg
etables than the using of more water
AS a general rule irrigation should
not be practiced before the middle of
June. There may possibly be some ex-
ceptions in the early strawberry and

gained in the second crop more than
was lost in the first, in pounds, to say
nothing of quality. A rain storm is
almost sure to lay the crop down quite
fiat about poisoning time, or soon
after if not before. Then one can
hardly cut it as closely, so two weeks
later he may not get any more pounds
of hay per acre. 1 have always tried
to cut clover before it got down much,
if possible Some years, of course,
the weather prevents this. 1 have
moved a piece purposely just before a
storm, when the crop was very heavy
and rain would surely lodge 1T.
There is one more matter that is
likely to deceive people when clover
gets down. The heads do not turn
brown as quickly. Nature seems to
lead the clover to grow up again some
before maturing its heads. But 1T is
losing in quality for hay, particularly
if the weather is wet. Yes, the stalks
lying on the ground get more or less
mouldy and will not make as fine
quality of hay. When you have
heavy piece of clover, badly lodged by
storms, and it continues in bloom for
long time, do not leave it on that &C.
count. l prefer early cut clover
for all kinds of stock. If it is nicely
cured it is fine for horses. 1t will
keep them sleek and healthy by being
easily digestible and by keeping the
bowls in good order. 1t is, however,
most too loosening for some horses, ii
they are allowed to eat it freely. In
such a case give them part clover hay.
It will have much the same effect as
some wheat bran or oil meal would
have. This from long experience.
The writer has kept horses in the
highest condition of health possible,
hair sleek and bright on early cut
clover hay. The truth is that such
hay is just about equal to oats, pound
for pound, in it's nutritive value, only
that this nutrition is in more bulky
form in the hay. 1t will not do,
though to put this hay before them
and let them eat all they can, as rule.
They like it too we'll. They will
over eat. have had visitors come
here with teams and bring the grain
to feed their horses. They would
put them in the stable and feed them
oats, perhaps. Then I would get an
armful of early cut clover and put IN
the managers, so they could have some
hay to eat when they were through
with their grain. This was what was
told the men, but really it wasn't quite
what I expected. Instantly the horses
would leave the grain and go to eating
the hay, and stay with it. too. The
owners were surprised, and so were
their horses. Evidently both were u.s.
ed to late cut hay. With early cut
clover nicely cured and properly fed,
one can keep all kinds of stock doing
we'll with much less grain than would
be needed with late cut clover.

market garden plants. Cultivation is
needed long before the soil demands
surface moisture. Early irrigation car
ries with it chill to the young plants
and retards rather than develops the
growth. The water takes along nox-
ious weed seeds and grasses the first
year. A wise rule to observe in If.
rigation is this: Keep the water OIL
the land just as long as possible.

Several French dealers have recently
visited the United States to purchase
stock for an alligator farm which they
propose starting in the south of
France. Alligator skin has become 50
highly priced throughout France that
the animal dealers believe it will pay
we'll to raise the alligators on this, the
first farm of its kind in the word. Not
long ago President LOubet received 4
present of a hunting suit of alligator
skin. The skin is said to be growing
scarccr each year. and there is always
n great demand for it for boots. shoes,
handbags. writing pads, portfolios ami
toilet articles.
