Where the chief grain fed is oats,
the clover is not suitable, because the

know men who have for years not fed
an ounce of grain to horses doing
farm work daily, and they have kept

on nothing but nice. clean. bright,

that great many men are wasting
money in their method Of feeding,

because they do not SOW the clover.

wants to adopt a line of farming that
will soonest and most economically
make it productive. the best plan will
be to keep cows, and sell the cream
or butter. And the more feed one
buys, and the less he takes of his
own place, except clover, the sooner
the soil may be made rich.
Having had considerable experience
with clover, cowpeas, Canada peas
and other legumes, l have concluded
that for soil improvement the red
clover or alsike, will be found the
best thing for the purpose. l would
only use alsike in case the land
to be improved was rather moist, as
on that sort Of soil it will usually
make a better growth than common
red or any other, except white clover,
and that does not make a sufficiently
bulky growth to serve the purpose
best.
In some experience of my own,
have found that sowing orchard grass
and clover together makes a most ex-
cellent pasture; and, If one keeps the
stock of, 1t is possible to get a
growth that will make a fine mixture
for hay; but when clover is cut at the
right time and properly cured, there
Is no more nutritious forage that can
be grown.

The ground around the bushes must
be broken up and mellowed with the

a dust mulch until the berries are half
size. then a thick coat Of long strawy
manure, grass or rotted leaves is
spread over the entire ground about
four inches thick. This mulch pre-
vents the growth of weeds-and keeps
the soil cool and moist. When this
method is followed, the field will be
greater, the berries free of dirt and

given plenty Of sunshine and air, along
with intelligent culture. The common
practice of planting the bushes along

EXCELLENT FEEDS
TO FATTEN LAMBS
Use OF Alfalfa for Rouzhage
StmpIifaes Question Con-
siderab1y-Peas are
Recommended.

By ]. r. M'NULTY, Colorado Agricul-
tural college.)
The great question which the sue
cessful lamb feeder is now trying to
solve is that of the most economical
concentrate to be used In fattening his
lambs.
The fact that most feeders are using
alfalfa for roughage simplifies the
above problem considerably. Alfalfa
supplies the protein, and when fed
with a fattening concentrate. as corn
or barley, reduces the amount of feed
required for pound gain to the mini
mum. Experiments prove that corn
is just trife better. pound for pound,
than barley when both are fed In con-
nection with one of the legume hays,
as clover or alfalfa. There is little
data on the economy of feeding corn
alone with upland or timothy hay or
with corn slower. This follows from
the fact that such a ration would lack
considerably in protein. Doubtless
barley would somewhat excel corn,
pound for pound, when fed with rough
ages lacking protein, as the ones last
named. Whole barley may be fed
very successfully to fattening sheen
The fact that cotton seed meal can
be purchased for price comparing
favorably with that of corn in Colora-
do has suggested the feeding of this
concentrate with alfalfa hay for fat
tening lambs. In this combination,
however, We have two feeds high in
protein and consequently an unbal-
anced ration. Oil meal is fed quite

first see that the trees are in a vigor-
GUS growing condition. When a large
cut must be made, paint the wood with
white lead, then cover the most of it
with a piece Of zinc. The healing It's

from the edges of the wound. In the
course OF time this callus win fold
over sufficiently to cover the wound.
Its spread may be FASTENED by slit
ting the callus with the point Of a
sharp knife once each year. Early In
the summer is the best time to do this,
as the callus tissue is most active at
