Idrln WHICH IS more necessary
or more profitable, all things
considered. than some legume.
Such crop is profitable from the
standpoint of the returns from an
acre and doubly profitable when the
fertility Of the soil is considered. On
the farm where much stock Is kept
legumes serve another purpose, that
of furnishing cheap protein.
Glover Versus Alfalfa.
Throughout the corn belt clover Is
the most important legume In west
ern United States alfalfa is largely
grown. while in the south cowpeas,
soy beans and vetch are the principal
legumes. The legume best adapted to
your own locality is the best one to
grow, at least until careful expert
ments have shown that some other Is
more profitable. In the west. where
the soil is loose and dry, alfalfa sends
down its long roots to source of per-
manent water supply and yields abun-
dant crops. Farther east. where the
water table Is so near the surface Of
the ground that the plants have wet
feet" during considerable portion Of
the year, it does not do as well. In
states east of the Missouri river clover
is much more desirable. small patch
Of alfalfa may be grown, but it does
not TT into the system of farming
well enough to be adopted on large
scale. 1t cannot be sown with the
small grain in the spring with any
surety of getting stand. The seed Is
expensive. and the hay is more diff
cult to cure than clover.
Alfalfa does not come to its prime
for about three years. SO that it is not
profitable to pillow 1t up the second
year, as Is done with clover. For this
reason 1t does not work well in the
standard rotation of corn, oats and
clover that meets with SO much favor
In the corn belt. 1t does not fit In with
the rest of the work as well as clover
either, as the first crop must be cut
just when the corn Is being laid by
secured 1t yields twice as much as
clover. but this extra yield is counter
balanced in most instances by its dis
advantages.
Getting a Stand of Glover.
The question of getting stand Of
clover is troublesome one on many
farms. This is due largely to improper
methods. The first point to consider
Is the soil. Land that has been farmed
number of years is likely to be acid
condition which makes it Ill fitted
to grow clover. This acidity can be
overcome by adding ground limestone
as suggested in article No. 2.
A seed bed in good filth and free
from weed seeds is also an important
consideration. Little clover plants are
very tender and cannot well compete
with weeds or force their way through
clods. Land that has been kept rea
sonably free from weeds the previous
season is best for clover. Such land
prepared as for oats as described ir
article No. 4. makes an ideal seed bee
for clover.
Glover seed should be tested for ger
mination before sowing. II 1t does no.

had no trouble in capturing a couple
of over fed bugs, which he placed on
a pin for evidence, in case they were
needed. He stated to the Independent
that the condition of this hotel was
the worst in the state, as far as he
had seen, and if Mr. Reynen does not
make general cleanup around the
hotel within thirty days, he will be
arrested again. Mr.. anderson is ont

slop from the kitchen having been
emptied at the back door, giving forth

going through many battles, still is
fighting and toiling against oppression
in many parts Of the world and main
tanning all the instincts of his race
nobly, without the accompaniment of
martial music or the beatign of
drums. 10 matter how battlescarred
he is, no matter how footsore he is
no matter how weary, he continues to
march on, and will continue with the
conviction that with the God of the
universe for his covenant and the
fathers of Israel behind him he will
find the consciousness in which he
rejoices and the freedom he loves.

Would Sell Grain

"A sCod many farmers hive the
idea that they must either hold their
grain or borrow money on their stor-
age tickets, if they wish to take ad-
vantage of the rise in price of the

implement dealers, and largest farm

ors who are storing their grain are
taking a big mistake. How can they

as l am doing, let them sell their
wheat at the market price and save
storage and interest on the money
tley BORROWED. Stcr.ge in six months
would amount. to nine or ten cents a
bushel.' If one stores his whea:, the
market must advance two cents a
month, for man to make anything by
doing so. BY selling now, one will
save his insurance as well as the stor-
age, or if he is storing in his own
granary. he will save shrinkage. He
can then take nine y per cent of the
money for wnch the grain is sold, pay
off his debts and stop interest, and
keep his credit good, and take the ex-

err who holds his wheat by either stor-
ing it in the elevator or his own

vances ten cents a bushei by May, the
farmer will make just as much as
no he had held his wheat. He does
not need to plank down the money

gest ten cent margin only. If the
market in May does not happen to be
satisfactory, he can switch to July at
very little cost.
If the wheat should happen to drop
ten cents bushel, of course, one
would lose the rooney he has III ,asl-
ed, unless 1t should rise again. Pro-
viding the market goes below the ten
cent mark, that is supposing that one
has invested ten cent margin and
the market drops, twelve cents, then
i. becomes necessary for the investor
to protect himself by putting up the
extra two cents a bushel or stand to
lose what he has invested. This is
where the speculation comes in, but
