are, first. that It may then be sown
on clean land and on land on which
the moisture has been conserved by
the cultivation given. 1t should us
ually be followed by corn or flax or
potatoes before q crop of small grain
Is grown, as II there are made to fol-
low the clover 10 the first crop on
rich land, they may produce an ex-
cess Of straw The numbers Of grain
crops that follow before the land is
laid down to clover, again will de-
pend somewhat on the richness Of
the land. Usually two good grain
crops may follow and in some in
stances larger number.
Preparing the Land.
AS clover will probably be sown
along with what is spoken of as a
nurse crop Of small grain, in the fu-
ture az In the past, happily the prep
aration Of the land that is suitable
for the nurse crop is suitable also
for the clover. This means that the
seed bed should be moist, mellow,
firm below and clean. 1t is import
ant that It shall be clean in order to
furnish clean hay.
Sowing the Seed.
The seed may be sown by hand
with the wheelbarrow seeder or with
and attachment to the grain drill. 1t
Is best sown by the last named pro-
cess, and when thus sown the aim
should be to drop the seed before the
grain tubes, as this would aid in Civ
ing 1t some covering. When sown by
either of these methods the harrow
should follow tho anu,inv Tn sn,,on
instances the seed fs sown along
with the grain Of the nurse crop,
that is, in the same tubes On some
very loose soils this plan succeeds,
but 1t is not the best way to SOW
clover as rule.
The seed may be sown on winter
rye or winter wheat. But when thus
sown the harrow should follow as a
rule. 1t may be best sown in barley
or speltz. These are cut early which
lis an advantage to the clover, and
they do not furnish so dense shade
as some other crops. While all GER
calls are used as nurse crops, oats
are the lowest in adaptation, as they
stool much, thus forming a dense
shade, and they draw very heavily on
soil moisture in the ripening season.
But they may be quite successfully
used as a nurse crop if only two to
four pecks are sown per acre, and
the crop is cut when the grain is
forming.
Glover seed is best sown in the
early spring. If the seed is sown
acne, from eight to ten pounds OF
the common red and Alsike should be

cut, raked into small windrows prob
ably with q side delivery rake and
when dry 1t may be lifted from there
with hay loader or otherwise. The
aim should be in curing to prevent
the loss Of leaves which would result
from too much SUN curing and to
preserve as much as possible the
greenness of the hay. In showery
weather 1t Is not easy to cure clover
without loss. In such weather it is
best cured in small cocks, these be-
ing covered with hay caps. The crop
should be cut when in full bloom. The
clover is much more easily cured
when we'll mixed with timothy, as
the timothy cures quickly and then
absorbs from the clover what might
otherwise prove an excess Of moisture
when 1t is stored.

moth would be ample along with four

red and Alsike clover are sown
along with timothy, the proportions
would be, say four pounds of common
red, two Of Alsike and four of timo-
thy. Such a mixture usually makes
very excellent hay and the mixing
tends to increase the yield. The first
season clover should not be pastured
save under exceptional instances, and
the later that the pasturing is con-
tinued the greater is the danger that
the clover may be destroyed. High
stubbles are a great protection to the
clover plants in the winter.
