Saturday, the official time table for which
made its appearance today. At last years
meeting there were both morning and
afternoon sessions. This year conforma-

THE GAME OF GOLF.

It Is a Worry Serious Matter With the
Real Scot Enthusiast.
In Fife and the Lothians every one
plays golf-men Of leisure. working
men and loafers, the last class produc-
ing the finest players. Many Of the
Scotch towns have public courses, and
even where they are private the arh'
san clubs may use them on generous
terms. Says Stewart Dick in THE
Pageant Of the Forth"
'There Is something very Scotch
about the Scotch golfer. He seems to
suit the leisurely and eontemp!at1re
game. Keep your eye on the ball.
Slow back and Aye be up are writ
ten all over him. AS a nation one
would say the Scotch were profession
al, the English amateur, golfers. for
there should be nothing dflettante
about the game Of golf.
How serious a matter it is may be
Judged from the old story Of the Scotch
minister. Emerging after a hot and
unhallowed strife in the bunker, bis
profane words still echoiDg In his ears,
he mops his heated brow and e1claims
bitterly:
"sAh maun gie 1t up! All maun gle

sternation. Gle up govt"
NO he replies, with sublime scorn;
gle up the meenistry"

SWEET GLOVER

Mrs. Minnie Hall, of Califa, Cali,
fornia, writes as follows: is sweet
clover as good for pasturing COWS as
alfalfa? How many pounds are usual
ly sown per acre.
There are many farmers who have
good sweet clover pastures, and seem
to be getting fair results from this
crop for that purpose, but as a general
thing, it is considered noXious weed.
Stock will eat sweet clover when they
have become accustomed to it, but
due to slight bitterness, 1t is not
usually relished as much as other
cloyers. We have known of instances
where, after the stock had become
accustomed to sweet clover, they
seemed to eat it readily and do very
we'll on it. In comparison with alfalfa
as a feed for live stock, alfalfa is far
superior. Alfalfa must be pastured
very carefully, because the cattle are
apt to bloat from eating it, especially
in the fall of the year or early spring.
much more satisfactory method is
to cut the alfalfa and feed it as soil
ing crop, CT to cure it and feed it as
hay. Experience shows that one will
get great deal more feed off an acre
if handled this way than if the stock
are allowed 10 Craze the alfalfa.

STABLE MANURE

Undoubtedly some stable manure
has accumulated about the buildings
during the rush Of harvest, th-eshing,
and corn picking. 1t is a good plan to
get this out onto the field just as soon
as possible. If there come a few
nice days after corn husking you Will
find it advantageous to use this time
cleaning up the yards.
If the stable manure is allowed to
stand in piles during the winter
months a great Gcal Of its value IS apt
to be lost hr heating. 1t Is common

After the decline Of Rome the center

The decisive military fact Of the east

KEEPING SHREDDED FODDER

W. W. Greiner, Orange, Virginia,
writes as follows: II am using a
Mccormick husker and shredder this
fall, but have no storage rooms for
stover. Ny plan is to stack It out

Can you advise me how to stack It so
it will keep? can neither bale it nor

Shredded fodder may be kept either
outdoors or inside, depending on local
conditions. If you have a great deal
Of wet weather during the fall and
winter, much of the shredded fodder
will spoil, as is the case with any
rough feed stacked outdoors. There
will be more waste to the shredded
fodder than with the hay because OF
the fact that it is finer and not
as easily handled as hay. In ra'
sections of the corn belt the shredded
fodder is stacked outdoors, but very
seldom is th'e done e~centine whore

We would suggest that you use some

weather.
The only danger Of stacking shred
ded fodder or putting in the barn re-
suits from the fact that it is shredded
when very damp or wet. In no case
should fodder be shredded during a
damp rainy day because it will absorb
the moisture very rapid? and il stored
when in this condition is very apt to
spoil. We ve known Of Instances
where shredded fodder has burned up
caused by instantaneous combustion,
due to the fact that it was shredded
when too vet, or during a wet period
of weather.
If you could stack your shredded
fodder against one side of the barn,
and provide board roof for it, and at
the same time have it convenient to
where you expect to feed it, you would
not lose a great deal by stacking 1t
outdoors.

SHALL | PLOW OR DISK?

George Duncan Tilley, Alberta,
writes az follows referring to your
ed. tn Calgary Herald about giving
advice On crops, ETC., I should like
to have your suggestions On some
points. On prairie soil broken for the
first time In the fall Of 1911, I have
harvested forty-nine acres Of wheat
and forty acres Of corn. The land was
plowed FIVE inches deep. In preparing
the land for next years crop, do you
think that disking the stubble would
be sufficient, or should the land be
plowed! What crops should follow
wheat and oats?"
As general practice, the land should
be plowed once year unless there are
unusual climatic conditions. If there
had been practically no rain and the
ground was very loose, you might get
satisfactory results by only disking.
However, it has been the mistake OF
a great many in the northwestern
territory to think that they could
raise satisfactory crops without doing
the amount of work on the land that
they should do The result has been
that in many places they have worn
the land out much more rapidly than
was necessary. 1t is advisable not to
begin the practice Of only disking.
Better try plowing again.
You will perhaps not need to ploW
the ground any deeper than it was
plowed last year, but ordinarily the
result will warrant your doing this
by leaving a part of your ground and
only disking it, and if you do we would
be very pleased to know the result.
J One Of the drawbacks to Canadian
farming is a lack of system Of crop
rotation. BY all means plan on a ro-
tation Of crops, which will include
wheat, oats, and barley, and some
leguminous crop. This may be clover.
alfalfa, Canadian field peas, or some
other similar crop that will do well in
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1913-02-05

along the last part OF september.
Clover should not be sown at this
time, however, provided you are par
ticularly anxious to obtain stand.
Clover sown in the fall will winter
kill very badly under normal condi-
tions and for this reason it is not ad-
visable to SOW clover during the fall
of the year. With timothy it may be
sown with the wheat at the same
time, either scattering the seed in
front Of the drill or by sowing the
seed first and drilling the wheat later,
then covering it by the use Of the peg
tooth harrow. The clover may be
sown just before it freezes up in the
winter, but we do not recommend
this practice, because Of the uncer-
tainty Of the weather, but prefer wait
ing until spring to sow the clover
seed. During the latter part OF Feb
ruary or the first Of March, just be-
for the spring thaws begin and when
the land is in a rough and frozen con-
dition is the best time to add the
clover seed. The heaving due to
freezing and thawing will cover the
seed sufficient under most condi-
tions. However, if the land Is sandy
this practice might not be successful
and we do not recommend it but on
the other hand if your soil contains a
large amount Of clay you could expect
success by following this method.
Another way Of sowing timothy and
clover but one which requires little
more Judgment on the part Of the
farmer is to SOW the wheat in the fall
and add the clover and timothy in the
spring after the land has thawed out
and the surface become dry. The
plan is to SOW the clover and timothy
combined at this time by using a peg
tooth harrow, which not only covers
the seed but cultivates the wheat at
the same time. The timothy will not
show up with the first season, but you
ought to get a good crop OF clover and
the timothy will come on later.
Either of the latter two methods
ought to give you fairly good returns.
If you expect to leave this field seed
ed down for any length Of time it
would be good plan to add two or
three pounds of Bluegrass seed when
sowing the timothy.

Tho Peacock at Home.

The real home Of peacocks or pea
fowls is In India. There they we're
and are hunted, and their flesh Is used
for food. As the birds live IN the

ING is q very dangerous sport. Ihe
long train Of the peacock is not iS
tail, rs many suppose, but is compos-
ell of feathers which grow out just
above the tail and are called the tall
coverts. Peacocks have been known
for many hundred years. They are
mentioned in the Bible. Job mentions
them. and they are mentioned, too, IN
I Kings x. Hundreds Of years ago IN
Rome many thousand pcacocks were
killed for the great feasts which the
cmperors made. The brains OF the
peacock were considered q great treae,
and many had to be killed for a single
feast
