A NEW CLOVER.

The Bureau of Plant Industry has
been experimenting with a new form
of red clover which came from the
black soil region of Russia. The
plant is practically hairless and there
fore, does not hold dust like the COM
mon red clover
For this reason it is believed that
it will make better forage plant for
horses, since it will be much less like
ly to cause heaves and will be cleaner
and more convenient to handle. Bloat-
ing in cattle is perhaps due in part
clover. If this be true the trouble
would be obviated by feeding them
the new hairless Orel clover.
Another objection to the common
red clover is that it natures much
earlier than timothy, with which it is
usually sown. Is it thus impossible to
harvest the mixture at a time when
the full value of both the clover and
timothy can be obtained.
The new Orel clover natures two
weeks later than the common red kind,
or at the same time with the timothy,
and at a season when the farmers at.
tention is not so imperatively demand.
ed for his corn, and also at time
when in the most of the clover belt
the weather is more favorable for
harvesting the crop without injury by
rain.-Country Life in America.

SHEEP AND DOGS.

Veterinary Editor E. H. Moone, of
the Country Gentleman" gives much
sound ADVICE pertaining to the sheep
industry in the current issue of that
paper. Among other things he says:
sSheep and dogs" is a theme on
which great book might be written.
Few dog owners have any idea of the
losses, running into millions of dol
lars annually through dogs killing
sheep and the further indirect loss of
many more millions due to the fear
of thousands of American farmers of
embarking in the sheep business be-
cause they well know that sooner or
later their flocks will be ravaged,
many killed, others injured and the
remainder made more or less worth
less through fright as the dogs chase,
worry and kill. Tolerance of this
evil should end now. Every one who
reads this article, dog owner or dog
Halter, should see the justice of re-
form in our dog laws. Every farmer,
every agricultural society, every State
grange, every livestock association,
every agricultural paper, should unite
in one untlring effort of bring about
this reform and act Immediately. Hold
meetings for its discussion, publish
articles on the subject to enlighten
the general public, formulate a plan.
submit it to the town, the State and
the national authorities, and see to it
that proper legislation is had Now
to the point. Every dog must have an
owner and sponsor or be confiscat-
ed; therefore the first need is for the
supervisor of each town to establish
a license fee, issue number tags, keep
a record, and round up all unlicensed
dogs. Fine any individual harboring
an unlicensed dog, allowing reasonable
time for redemption and payment of
fine. This will reduce numbers aud
establish ownership. Any dog that is
found chasing sheep should be shot
in the act, when possible. Failing in
this, if the dog can be satisfactorily
identified, it should be shot by the
dog inspector of the town. 1t might
also be well to fine a dog owner $40
whose dog is proved to have worried
sheep Thus responsibility is estab-
lished. and dog owners will exercise

SELLING FERTILITY.

The Mirror and Farmer thinks 1t
quite time that farmers disabuse their
minds of the old-time notion that sell
ing hay tends to impoverish the farm
which has its foundation in the fact
that under conditions existing in ear
lier times the fertilizing elements con-
tanned in the hay could not easily be
replaced, but in these days of agri-
cultural development it is not more
difficult to replace the fertility re-
moved by selling hay than to replace
an animal sold with another animal.
The price Of hay is higher this winter
than for several years and it requires
good management to feed it to any
kind of stock at present prices and
realize it's selling value. The wise
farmer has a supply of ensilage for
the main feeding of his farm animals.
The production of hay for market can
be conducted upon farm adapted to
grass as one Of the products without
depicting the fertility of the soil, as
well as any other product, if restor-
ing the elements of fertility removed
in the hay from some other source is
given intelligent attention. This can
be done by growing clover, application
of chemicals and cultivation of the
soil, making it possible to grow and
harvest ton of hay for one-half its
selling price today, and if sold max
ing the farm no poorer by the trans
action.

PLANTING THE YARD.

In ornamental planting, it is i'm
portant that great care be taken in
grouping plants, making sure they fit
in with the neighboring architecture,
and seeking to bring out some de-
sired effect. The texture of the fol-
iage, the color of the flowers, the
season of bloom and rapidity of
growth should all be considered.
1t is the object of the landscape
gardener to create charming effects Of
sunlight and shadow, and examples in
miniature of natures handiwork as
seen in landscapes. All of yard
should not be filled with plants, bat
there should be broad stretches of
grass bordered with shrubbery, so ar
ranged as to produce vistas. The hab-
it of scattering plants all over yard
or of planting them in rows in sew
eral given directions, is not ornamen-
tai planting. While the plants indi-
vidually may be beautiful, their ar
rangement gives the idea of wilder.
ness, and, as a whole, is unsightly.
1t spoils the individual beauty of the
plants instead of bringing it out.
The border lines of a lot and the
inside curves of drive or walk usp
ally require groups of shrubbery; also
the corner of building needs a mass
of green to "tie the building to the
ground" Unsightly objects should be
completely covered by screen of
trees and shrubbery. -Indianapolis

PLANTING NUT TREES.

There is a rapidly increasing inter.
est in nut growing. The United States
imports $7.000,00O worth of nuts an.
nually, the majority of which could
easily be grown at home. AS nut
trees can be grown along fences and
in many other places where they
would have no appreciable effect on
other farm crops, there is no reason
why we should not be exporters in
stead of importers, except the fact
that planting the nut tree means a
long wait, and farmers are not good
walters.
