Farmer S Corner.
Crimson Clover with Corn.

The value of crimson clover
sown in a corn field after the last
cultivation is not known to the
average farmer as it should be-.
This is a legume that is very
valuable both as a crop for graz
ing and it's power of depositing
rich supply of nitrogen in the
ground, which will increase to a
great extent the yield of the
crop that follows it.
AS crimson clover,is a winter
variety, it can be sown in the
corn field after the last cultivat-
ing and even as late in the fall
as August and September.
1t will make quick growth and
will not injure the corn by draw
ing nutriments from the soil that
the corn should have, as the corn
is practically matured before the
clover starts to use the the plant
food from the ground to any ex-
tent worth speaking.of, and al
most from the start it begins to
deposit nitrogen in the soil, thus
returning more plant food to the
soil than it takes therefrom.
1t will also keep the late crop
of weeds down. These late
weeds usually do a great deal of
harm by draining on the soil
without returning anything to it
and also by scattering a good
crop of seed which will make
much work and trouble next
year.
Why not sow broadcast from
12to Is pounds of f'crimson clover
seed per acre over the field and
prevent this growth Of weeds
and reap a great benefit from
the clover.
After the corn is husked in
the fall the clover will produce a
wealth of grazing for the stock
as they are clearing the corn
field. 1t will make them sleek
and fat, and if the dairy herd
can geS this treat th e returns in
the milk pail will more than re.
pay the venture. 1t will also
furnish COED grazing in the early
spring up to the time when it is
turned under.
AS crimson clover makes 6
good green manuring crop il
treated in this way, and as it al
ways leaves the soil rich in nj
trogen, the ground is always in
an excellent condition to be fol
lowed with a crop of corn. How
ever, any crop to follow crimson
clover will do much better thar
if the clover had not been there

The best and the easiest meth
cd l have ever found for destroy
ing ants, whether they are in the
house or on the lawn, is to take
a large sponge, wet it and sift
fine sugarall over it and lay it in
the place that is infested. They
will soon fill the sponge. Take
it and sink it in a pail of water
they will then leave the sponge
and rise to the top of the water
and can eaisly be destroyed,
Sprinkle more sugar on the
sponge and put it in place again,
This repeateda a few times will
soon enable the housewife to de-
stroy all the ants. Farm ant

Which Shall it Be.

There are three men on the ticket,
mean for president,
BY name they are Taft and Wilson,
And Ted, that foxy old gent
Teddy Of course is preaching
The story Bryan once told,
That judges, courts and people
Should not be bought and sold.
That man is more than money,
He has vile, and child tofeed,
And recounts the tragic story
OF the sacrifice to greed.
Then rise you sons of freedom,
Vote right election day,
Choose the man with courage
To blazen out the way.
This is no little matter,
There are millions in the fight,
And no cause is justly settled
Until its settled right,
The people have the power,
OF course money has the pride,
But cast your vote correctly
And have victory on your side.
Then sound the mighty trumpet,
Declare for freedoms call,
With justice and with liberty,
And equal rights to all.
Then face the problem squaeely.
Think well what you do,
For on election morning
1t will mean very much to you.
It's Wilson Taft or Teddy,
As the people may declare,
Bet on Wilson as a winner
And in the glory share.
