WAY TO SOW CLOVER.

As rule farmers Go net grow
sufficient quantity OF clover with the
grain crops. 1t is more than useful
practice 20 SOW clover seeds broad
cast ON the land occupied by grain
crops, as in this case the growing
crop affords shelter for the seeds, and
the termination of these seeds will
be perfect.
The question of sowing the seeds
broadcast or drilling them is much a
matter of opinion, and each method
may be considered satisfactory if the
season following is favorable.
The earliest plan is sowing the seed
broadcast just after the grain is drill
ed. This probably is the surest method
of securing plant, as the small seeds
fall in the drills after the coul-
tiers and getting in contact with the
moist earth strike at once after be-
ing narrowed in by light harrows.
This plan has, however, three objec-
tons:
In the case of wet summer follow
ing, the clover is apt 10 grow very
luxuriantly, and at harvest time seri-
ously interferes with the harvesting
of the crop.
Grain cut with much clover in IL.
aud the rain falling to any great ex-
tent, might necessitate the antying of
the sheaves to allow them to dry. Ae-
other objection, too, to early sowing
of clover seed is the risk of late frost
cutting off the tender plants.
The most common method is to al
low barley or wheat to get we'll out in
blade and then either drill the seed
with an ordinary small seed-drill and
roll in afterwards, or SOW seed broad
cast after rim roll and harrow in.
There is always a certain amount
of injury done the young wheat when
in a tender state unless the land is
in fine state of tilth The ibruising
of the tender blade with roll and
harrow, with perhaps frost following,
takes the bloom off.
The plan that commends itself very
much in a season where late frosts
have followed a late seed-time, is
uOTS0-llO0lIS uuC 81 dlu S1Au AoAAOWAA
with the seed-drill,. or broadcasting
the seed. In the case of the former
there would be no occasion to harrow;
as the passage of the drill coulters
would thoroughly harrow the land and
i deposit the seed the required depth,
only a roll following would be neces-
sary.
If sown broadcast, a light harrow,
or bush harrow would be needed to
cover the seed. If intended for horse
hoeing, the land should not be rolled
down too solid, but worked fine and
left narrowed up. The blades of the
horseshoe, passing through the land,
detach certain depth of soil, leaving
q drill in which the seed is deposited
aS level depth in moist soil in which
the small seed will soon terminate
However well the land may have
been prepared for the preceding crop,
on all highland farms there is the
usual amount of weeds, thistles, etc.,
which are sure to appear to share a
living with the grain.-W. r. Gilbert

FEEDING THE HENS.

Where an appetizing bran mash
was once given hot and the hens gorg-
ed on it, became fat, laid soft,shelled
eggs and learned to eat them up, now
the same materials were kept before
then tall the time in dry form and
while they ate what they needed and
used the time necessary to grind
coarser feed in making eggs they
were not overfed. This combination
is two hundred pounds wheat bran,
one hundred each of corn meal, lin
seed, gluten, middlings and meat
scrap. Eight quarts whole grains are
given daily.
The hens are kept IN pens with
three sides built of double walls filed
with sawdust, fourth facing the south,
having two windows and a space 10x
feet that is open all day and
closed at night by canvas door. A
warm bedroom is built, the floor be-
ing raised three feet from the floor
and here the birds are shut
IN with another canvas door.
Ventilators at the top furnish
air Conditions are ideal, no damp
ness anywhere and the hens have
Eigor and vitality. Eggs are more
meaty and hatch better.
Chicks are fed grit first, then small,
lard grains and a dry mash, very
similar to that furnished the hens.
Cockerels are separated at ten
Eeeks, fed a moist appetizing mash
and are ready for market at twelve
weeks. Pullets are then accustomed
to their brooder houses and then let
out on the range, troughs of the dry
grain being always near, clean water
also available.
Work at the experiment station
poultry plant is progressing well
About five hundred chicks have been
Matched and twelve incubators OF 800
egg capacity are being run at full
capacity. The colony brooder houses
have been made ready for the young
chicks, and with a continuation of
good weather it is expected that this
springs work will be very success
full. About two thousand birds will
be reared this spring.-Prof. G. NJ.

ket. or to some neighbor who will not
have a successful garden. Or the ex'
ira area can be devoted to potatoes
or roots for stock Being near the
house it is of easy access and the
farmer can spend many half-hours
working his garden, when he would
not think of going to the field for that
length of time.
The garden should contain all the
small fruits, such as berries, currants,
etc. Plarat tiess in single rows and
far enough apart so they can be easily
cultivated The space between can
be devoted to some vegetable which
will compel working around the
shrub. If the market gardener, upon
lands ranging in price from $500 to
81 900 per acre, can upon half dozen
acres sell more dollars worth OF pro-
duce than are sold off many large
farms, why may not the farmer grow
his own garden articles for food that
will take the place of much of the
more expensive commodities bought
in town? The garden can not be had
without labor, but with less, consider
ing the amount produced, than is re-
quired for several farm crops. Two
and sometimes three crops can be
grown upon the same ground in one
season. With the addition of few
hot-bed sash the garden can be made
to produce fresh vegetables for the
table the year round-EpitomiSt.

Alchemy In Vegetables.

The discovery of means of meta
morphosing radishes into potatoes
has been made in the Academy of
Sciences, Paris. The inventor
method, briefly described in popular
terms, is this: He takes a very
young radish, "pasterizes" it in a
certain way and it grows up into a
fine potato. More scientifically, the
young radish is cultivated in glass
retort, after a process invented by
Pasteur, in a concentrated solution
of glucose. Starch then develops
iplentifully in the cells of the radish,
which swells out, loses it's pepper
fness and acquires practically the
consistency, flavor and especially the
nutritive properties of the potato.

Camphor Farm In Florida.

For five years the Department OF
Agriculture has been distributing
camphor-tree seed, and thousands of
trees are now growing throughout
the South and in, the, Pacific Coast
States. Two years ago a serious
effort was made to develop the
manufacture of camphor fromf these
trees. BY improvements in manu-
featuring processes satisfactory re-
suits have been accomplished and a
large manufacturing concern is now
building up camphor grove of e.
600 acres in Florida, from which it
hopes to make its camphor. This
firm uses more than 100000 worth
of camphor ever year.

Ingenious Office Boy.

A New York business man was
telling some friends not long ago of
the disadvantage of having two tele-
phones in his business office.
"a new office boy entered upon
the discharge of his duties last
week. said the merchant, among
which duties is that of answering the
telephone calls. The very first call
resulted in his coming to me with
this statement:

of the two phones.

used, little sugar should be added,
but when cold cream is used alone
the natural grape-sugar, which can
be seen glistening on the granules,
is sufficiently sweet to satisfy the PAL
ate. This grape-sugar is not poured
over the granulcs. as some people
think, but exudes from tho granules
in the process of manufacture, when
the starch of the grains is changed
from starch to grape-sugar by the

THE BLACK FACED SHEEP.

The severe climate of the Scotch
Highlands has developed several
breeds of farm stock especially adapt

Black Faced Highland sheep Is one
of the Oldest of the breeds, and in
hardness is surpassed by none. The
fleece is extremely long and coarse,
not equal in quality to that Of some
other breeds, but very heavy.
The hardness of the sheep has at
tracted some attention in this coun-
try. and a few fiocks have been i'm
ported, mostly to northern New York
State It is a rather small-sized sheep
and somewhat wild in disposition.
The mutton is popular in the mar

CARE OF HORSES.

When the writer was given his first

what a rubbing down, after hard

in condition. If you want to keep
your teams fat, sleek and ready at all
times for hard work, here is the
recipe: Let oats be the main grain,
water regularly, feed bright timothy
or upland hay, curry and brush thor
oughly every morning, and at night
curry, brush and rub. That is all
there is to it. Use a large piece Of
flannel for rubbing and your team
will be as sleek as moles and fit for
