HINTS FOR FARMERS
AIsike clover.

III many respects alsike clover is not
SO valuable a crop as medium red
clover, but it may nevertheless be
made very useful in many ways, says
Farmers Advocate. 1t is the best
clover for permanent pasture. A mix
ture Of blue grass, timothy and alsike
where these grasses can be grown sue
cessfully makes an ideal pasture. IN
time the blue grass will drive out the
timothy, but it will not crowd out the
hardy alsike unless the ground is over
pastured.
Sown with red clover for hay alsike
will increase the yield and the quality
of the hay. If the ground is inclined
to be wet, and even if it is not, good
combination for a meadow is timothy,
medium red clover and alsike. No
other combination will give more or
better hay 1t will be next in feeding
quality to alfalfa.
Alsike can be grown successfully on
ground too wet or too sour to grow red
clover or alfalfa. 1t will do well under
conditions so adverse that other grasses
would fail partially or entirely. 1t is
good mixer and adapts itself to all
kinds of company and all kinds of
conditions 1t is hardy and useful and
should be more generally grown.

The most exasperating and one of
the hardest enemies the. poultryman
has to combat is rats. At times they
become very bold and not only attack
the chickens at night, but venture
forth in broad daylight. Several meth
ods have been tried, and some are very
successful. Poison, traps and dogs are
the most effective, but each has its
drawbacks.
To poison is probably one of the most
effective methods in killing the ro-
dents, but care has to be exercised
when placing it out, as other animals
are liable to get it. A few grains of
strychnine placed on piece of toasted
cheese or bread is one of the best. By
placing it in the middle of a small
draintile danger of other animals get
ting it may be avoided.-Arkansas Ex-
pertinent Station.

Care In FEEDING Hens.

There is knack in the feeding of
hens that must be learned by expe-
rience. The hens must be well fed
and yet should always be a little hun
CRY during the day. They are not to
be at any time satisfied, but in the
evening they may be fed all they will
clean up readily. 1t is a long stand
ing custom for poultrymen to feed
hens mash once day, and this may
be fed morning and evening, according
to convenience At the Kansas expert
ment station evening feeding has been
found profitable. Where meat and
green feed are well provided the feed
ing Of mash may be discontinued,
fed at intervals or dropped from the
bill of fare entlrely.-Kansas Station
Bulletin.

Letter to George E. Reeve
Morristoaon. N. j.


Dear Sir: This happened seven years
ago. A man, having three little poul-
try houses, bought one gallon of each
of two paints to paint them; paid SLIGO
for one and $1.75 for the other, Is
cents difference.
The $l.60 gallon painted one house,
the 81 rs gallon painted the other two
houses. The cost Of the paint was:
first house S1.60; second house 874c;
third house 874c.
But painting goes with paint, and it
costs as much to paint one paint as
another, about $3 so gallon.
The painting OF one OF those houses
with 81 so paint cost the same as that
of the other two with 81. Is paint; 49, so.
Difference $1.75 house same way as
the 75 cents.
-Four years ago, he painted that first
little house again, same paint-he
wanted to know what the cost of keep
ing house well llpainted really is. The
other two houses didn't need painting.
Last year he painted all three little
houses, same paints as at first; and
reckoned his cost to date of beginning
the job.
The first little house had cost SIS. 10
Twice, or 5000, and was ready to paint
again: the second two houses had cost
S. 20, and were ready to paint again.
That is: saving Is cents gallon
made one house cost twice as much as
the other two houses, besides the fuss
of an extra paint job in three years.
The Sl.75 paint was Devoe y Ray
nolds.
This tale is made-up of a thousand
experiences. Devoe g. Reynolds is al
ways the paint that takes less gallons,
costs less money, wears longer, less
fuss. And the cost of Devoe & Ray
nolds is about one-fourth of the cost
of paint that doubles the gallons.
Yours truly
SO f. W.~DEVOE s. Q. T.

Clean the Seed.

While speaking of keeping the farm
clean and free from weeds do not over
look the thorough cleaning of all kinds
of seed grains which are sown. 1t does
not pay to fight weeds year after year
and at the same time in the millet,
wheat, oats and rye SOW weed seeds
in addition to those already on the
land. The easiest way to eliminate
weeds from the field is not to SOW
them and to keep the seed off the
ground A good tanning mill and just
a little time will clean up the seed
and save lots of time and horsepower.

Sheep shearinas.

Every sheep pasture should have an
abundance of pure water.
If there is not a continual endeavor
to improve the fiocks they will go
backward instead of forward.
Sheep are one of the best kinds Of
stock for saving feed on a farm that
would otherwise go to waste.
For rapid fattening a ration of corn
in the morning and cottonseed meal in
the evening give good results.
Sheep will show results for feed put
into them more quickly than almost
any other animal we can raise.
