up a poultry house too often; remem.

For instance, just imagine yourself
in old Biddy's place and do a little

would roost in tree sufficiently high
that the fumes arising from her ex-

and it stands to reason that if she
is forced to sleep just a short dis.

many nights, as she so frequently Is,
her breathing apparatus is going to
get out OF order and her constitu.

We can now stamp our letters fol-
England and Ireland with the usual
two-cent stamp, same as to Canada.
At the New York Postofiice, first day
of the reduction, the increase of mail
for England and Ireland was SO great
that twenty extra clerks were detailed
at the foreign branch. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 letters for England and
Ireland were mailed during the day.

CRIMSON CLOVER.

During the past few years ! have
had brought to my notice several ex-
Rnples Of the wonderful renovating
power and the feeding value of the
crimson clover. In some sections OF
.he country the plant does not sue
ceed, because of the extreme cold.
This variety of clover is more apt
to winter-kill than the common red
clover, but it is well worth the trial,
where there is possibility of its
thriving. In this locality (Northern
ohio) I have seen some very fine
fields of this plant and have been
much interested in the results OF
feeding it to stock, as well as noting
the greet beneficial effect upon poor,
wornout soils.
Tie seed of the crimson clover is
larger than the red clover and is
oval in shape. New seed has high
polish and is of a bright, reddish yel-
low color; as it becomes older it
changes to reddish brown, then
loses its polish and becomes dull,
dark brown. Let such seed alone.
The crimson clover should be
seeded at the rate of 12 to Is lbs. per
acre, either broadcast or with the
irfll. We usually broadcast ours in
the potato or corn after the last cul-
tivation and do not cover. If it is to
occupy the ground alone, slightly
harrow or roll it in. We SOW tho
seed between July 18th and Septem-
ber 18th, but in the South 1t should
not be sown before August 18th. IT
will then mature the following spring
from three to four weeks before the
red clovers. As soon as it comes in
to full bloom it should be cut, if
wanted for hay, as the matured
blooms are injurious to stock. Grim
sen clover thrives in a lighter, san
der sell than any ether clover and it
requires but little humus, and COM
paratively little moisture 1t is of
great value as green manure upon
poor soils and rank growth quite
insures a = satisfactory succeeding
crop. If the soil is not already fer
tile, it will pay well to apply 600
pounds per acre of mineral fer
tilizers containing per cent actual.
potash and 8 per cent available phos-
phoric acid, and on very poor soils
the addition of one or two per cent
nitrgem viii make the catch more
certain. The fertilizer can easily be
broadcasted by lowering the hand
Through the growing crops, if it is
desired to grow the clover there.
The amount of fertilizer may seem
excessive, but not wnen we recoliect
that not all of the material possesses
fertilizing value. All clover soils
must contain considerable amount
Of potash, as well as phosphoric acid
and lime If the soil is made rich
so that the clover roots are able
to penetrate to a good depth before
freezing weather, we are pretty sure
of good crop the following spring

ter feeding and half the grain now
used, with more wool and mutton and
healthier sheep. Good alfalfa hay cut
up, mixed with a little corn meal
and moistened, will do about the
same in sheep feeding.
The point in these object lessons.
which are common facts where al
falfa in plenty is grown, is that such
feeding is going to save nearly half
the high priced corn, and enable
farmers to grow more cattle, sheep
and hogs and to return more fertil
fty to the farm.
Any good corn and clover land prop
erly prepared will grow alfalfa, and
when these things are understood
more alfalfa will be grown for feed
ing, so as to reduce the cost of max.
ing meat and wool,-Indiana Farmer.

FARM NOTES.

Manuring is the life of farming.

much land as you can properly work?

that are winning.

Feep up with other professions, not
years behind.
