About four years ago I had a very

had three large he'd sores on my back.

Alsyke cIover.-Alsyke clover can
be grown on land that Is too wet for
the growing of red clover. 1t is thus
of great value in many parts Of the
United States in which the drainage
of land is in a very backward condi-
tion, and is likely to be backward for
long time to come. We commend
this clover for trial in all such loca-
tions. Where 1t is difficult to grow
any kind ofa legume, the land generally,
needs crop such as alsyke clover
to put the soil in good condition. or
as good as can be hoped for on un-
drained land. The hay from alsyke
clover is finer than from red clover
and not SO much is produced per acre.
but 1t is richer In nitrogen. which II
