SWEET CLOVER

Mrs. Minnie Hall, of Califa, Cali
fornia, writes as follows: is sweet
clover as good for pasturing cows as
alfalfa? How many pounos 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 a noxious weed
Stock will eat sweet clover when they
have become accustomed to il, but
due to a slight bitterness, it is not
usually relished as much as othe.
clovers. We have known CT instances
where, after the stock had become
accustomed to sweet clover, they
seemed to eat it readily and do very

Undoubtedly seine ale manure
has accumulated about the buildings
during the rush of harvest, threshing,
and corn picking. It is gcod plan to
get this out onto the field just as soon
as possible. If there come few
nice days after corn husking you will
ind it advantageous to use this time
cleaning up the yards.
If the stable manure is allowed to
stand in piles during the wintei
months great deal of its value is apt
to be lost by heating. 1t is common
thing to see pies of stable manure
steaming during the winter months
This is due to heat from the pile ane
IL it were possible for us to see just
what was taking place we would find
that nitrogen was escaping. AS nitro
zen is one of the most important plant
food elements, it is good plan to
follow methods Of handling the ma
nure so as not to lose it. An ordinary
load of stable manure will contain
about 10 pounds of nitrogen, which if
UOuSuL Ou TIE HfdEh0l III COiIHiSi-
cal form will cost Is cents pound
Not only is the nitrogen escaping, but
the vegetable matter which is so I'M
portant in many soils is being de-
stroyed by burning.
The summers accumulation of ma
nure can be conveniently and prof
itably applied to winter wheat or to q
meadow which we expect to put into
corn next year. 1t is not advisable tc
| apply manure at this time of the
season on hillsides or where 1t Is ap,
| to be washed away. 1t is always
| advisable to apply fertilizer Of this
| kind to the highest parts of the field
! It is very generally conceded thai
best returns are obtained from ligh
| application from the fact that manure
anDlied in this way is much easier
