CLOVER ON SANDY LOAN.
Especially Valuable as a Rotation
Crop and Will Grow Nearly
Everywhere.
BV G.. M. Miller,

49,
A farmer in ~Sedgwick county, Kan
sas, who says he is afraid to try al
falfa because some OF his ne1ghbOrS
have not been successful with it, wants
to know whether clover would not be
better on his soil, which he describes
as a good black loan, "a little sandy"
Il have never tried clover he writes,
but l notice that it grows in places
along the roads in the vicinity of my
farm
There can be no doubt that clover
will do well on good black loan, q
little sandy because the growth OF
vagrant clover alongside proves that
the proper bacteria are present in the
soil.
Glover is a great crop for a rota-
ton, and we suggest the following:
Corn, wheat and clover; or, when it
is desired to grow a cash or market
crop, such as potatoes, beans and cab
bage, the rotation may be heightened,
and the crop will thus receive the
benefits from the rotation and be han
died with the same labor and teams
required to perform the general farm
work, thus decreasing the cost of pro-
duction and eliminating the fertilizer
bills.
Glover should be grown every third
or fourth year; or, where this crop
fails, some other legume should be
utilized. OF all the plants with which
we are acquainted clover seems to be
endowed with a power to recuperate
soil more than others.
1T is superior to other grasses be-
cause it sends its roots down deeper,
thus feeding upon mineral and vege-
ia BILE substances in the soil that are
out of reach of the surface feeding
plants. 1t also increases the nitrogen
and humus conten: of the soil and is
an excellent food for all kinds of live
stock.
There is no forage crop, excepting
alfalfa, that possesses as many valu-
able qualities as our common red
clover. All ruminants prefer it to
other hay.
Glover thrives on almost all forms
OF sol! and ii is especially valuable
on sandy soil, as it draws its nourish-
ment from the subsoil and from the
atmosphere and brings back to the
surface many soluble elements of fer
tIllty that have been washed down
through the soil by teaching.
Alfalfa ought to grow we'll on this
Kansas farm and simply because some
It is no reason who our young friend
should not try it. Sow on high or roll
ing land, we'll drained. in a perfect
seed bed, thirty pounds to the acre
and it ought and doubtless will dc
we'll. 1t is successfully grown in
nearly all of the eastern states. but is
particularly well adapted to western
soils.

THE PEAR ORCHARD.

The first three or four years after
setting it is best to cultivate the pear
chard in vegetables of some sort,
evt never in wheat or rye. The Vege-
ia crops require both and
cultivation, which benefit the young
pear trees.
When the pear tree makes a fine
growth h fifth year the cha can
be put in clover and left two or three
years in that crop.
n first crop Of clover MAY be
taken off. but the second crop should
never be taken off. but should be left
to rot ON the ground to enrich the
soil.
While the pear orchard is in clover
1t is beneficial to hoe or grub around
each tree in the spring and keep the
soil loose around it: this destroys
many insects and also keeps them
from nesting there.
Each spring and fall wash down
the trunks and larger limbs of the
water, about half and half. This will
destroy insects ana keep the bark
smooth and healthy.
Keep down all suckers from around
the roots and remove all sprouts from
the trunks. The pear. however. needs
but little pruning if the trees make a
strong and vigorous growth for sew
eral years, unless there is a tendency
to grow too much in height at the
expense of the width.
Low heads are more desirable. How
ever, when pruning is necessary it
should be done to conform to the hab-
its and natural shape of the tree
