HOW MUCH SEED?

It is quite likely that poor stand
Of clover is often due to sowing n
scant allowance of seed, as we'll as to
the fact that the seed may be poor or
Of weak vitality. While six quarts Of
seed to the acre is practice that is
quite generally followed. we believe
that much better results would often
be secured If this amount were in
creased by quart or two. The crit
lear time with both clover and alfalfa
is the short time when the two leg
umes are acquiring mastery over
the weeds-that is, occupying the
ground. If for any reason the plants
are weak, the stand thin and the
ground swarming with young weeds,
the chances are that the young clover
plants will be swamped and the money
put into purchasing the seed virtually
thrown away. Had there been a bet
ter stand the contest might have re-
suited differently and fine stand Of
the legume been the result. In putting

ADULrERArED GRASS SEED.

Due to the unfavorable season which
prevailed throughout the northern
states last year, both the quantity and
quality Of grass seed, especially clover
and alsike, were not up to the stand
ard. AS consequence strong temp
tation has been placed before unscru-
pulous and unreliable dealers to palm
off on eager customers seed that is Of
very poor quality and vitality or that
which IS heavily adulterated with both
noxious and useless weed seeds. A
number of samples of clover seed
which have been inspected by western
experiment stations in the past few
weeks have shown between 80 and 80
per cent of impurities. Recently enact
ed pure seed laws protect the pur-
chasers in good many states, giving
them redress at law in case seed de-
livered is not as represented. In states
where such laws do not exist and
where it is impossible for one to secure
necessary seed from a near neighbor or
a home dealer who is known to be thor
ouGhly reliable we should advise sub
hitting a sample of seed for inspection
to the specialists Of the state expert
ment station before sending a check for

An advantage which is sometimes
overlooked in the sowing of early oats
is that in case clover is sown there
with the grain can be cut week or
ten days earlier. which will give the
clover plants just that much time to
thicken up and get well rooted before
the hoe and usually dry weather of
the summer comes on.

One Of the excellent features about

If there is any one precaution that
the owner Of dairy should take dur

should not scrimp his cows on their
run or supply of pasture. In just the
same way as the growth Of steer
will vary from $50 to 300 pounds dur
ing six months season, depending
upon whether the pasturage is album
dant or insufficient, will the dairy COW
vary in her yield of milk. 1t takes
about so much feed to supply what is
called the maintenance ration. 1t is the
amount Of food above this which gives

Where the family IS fond Of stock
soups there is probably no more eco
nomical meat that can be got for the
family larder than choice soup bones
or boiling pieces. The resourceful
housewife will not only be able to con-
trive savory and palatable dishes from
such cuts, but the ration she puts on
the table will be nutritious as we'll.
Lean meat that may be left over can
easily be worked into good hash with
slight reinforcement to take the
place of the nutritive elements that
have been extracted in boiling.

AS the result of a gradual yet al

the territory referred to are now al
most completely at the mercy of spring

~ estimated that the damage done in
central eastern states last season alone
amounted to nearly 100000, 900, while
similar food damage, If on smaller
scale, was inflicted by the freshets Of

before the season of spring rains is
over. Perhaps In no other way is the
