GROWING CLOVER
FOR SEED AND FEED
BY PROF. r. a. MOORE,
Wisconsin College Of Agriculture.


Farmers who live a considerable
distance from q market find It espo
cially desirable to grow clover for
seed, as a single load will sell for sew
eral hundred dollars Although clover
seed will grow almost anywhere In
the state. the best yields are reported
from the heavier clay soils.
AS there is little demand for mixed
seeds, no timothy should be grown
with the clover. A good yield Ia de-
pendent on a thick sand, which in
turn Is dependent upon seed Of high
vitality planted in ground which haS
been we'll cultivated
The clover should be harvested
when the seed Is well formed an&
the heads nearly all ripe. Generally,
with medium red, the second growth
is cut for seed and where this is done
the first cutting is taken for hay when
the clover is in full bud and few
heads In full blossom. If harvested
too early, the seed will be small and
light. while II left too late before cut
ting there will be much seed wasted
by the clover heads breaking off In
handling. Cutting had better be done
early In the morning. as there is then
apt to be less loss of heads than IL
the work Is done later Ia the day
when the clover stems become dry
and brittle.
The cutting is ordinarily done with
a mower with punching attachment.
In some sections an old grain reaper
with sweep rakes is used. The crop
may also be cut with mower with
out the attachment. but the cut clover
must be removed with forks as soon
as cut so as to prevent the team from
tramping on It when making the next
round. This is precaution that very
few men observe. AS it takes three
men to do this work as fast as a team
can walk. # viii pay to get an attach.
ment, the price of which Is only $40
or $12.
The crop should be left In lunches
from five to ten days, depending on
the weather. II rain intervenes. the
punches may be turned with q fork.
II is best to hull directly from the
field. 1t Is also good plan to have q
tight rack In which to haul the clover
so as to save the clover heads. If It is
not possible to get the crop huIled as
soon as dry, the clover should be
stored In barn with a good floor, and
a tight roof. II necessary to stack,
the stack should be we'll covered with

CURING STOMACH
WORMS In SHEEP

large loss to Wisconsin fiockmasters.
However, IL the ewes and lambs are
provided with new pastures each
spring. and the lambs changed to fresh
pasture and green rape at weaving
time, little trouble from stomsc,i
worms will be experienced. THIS
worm, which is hair-like object about
an inch long attached to the lining OF
the fourth stomach or floating In a
brownish liquor, develops from eggs
taken by the lambs from old, tainted
pastures or in contaminated drinking
water.
Lambs infested with this parasite
fail to thrive, lack appetite, are dull,
thirsty, and weak. and may have
diarrhoea. AS their condition grows
worse, the wool becomes harsh, the
skin pale. and the lining OF the eye

sheep also show an unnatural desire
to eat earth. At this stage the most
Characteristic symptom of the trouble

We were in the sacred city of Be-

than all others. On the banks of the

old-time city has been the gathering
place for the devotees of their ancient
religion.
1t has been the battle ground for
the supremacy of faiths. 1t was here
that Buddha, in his startling protest
against the sensuality of Hinduism,
established his headquarters, only to
be crushed beneath the resistless ava

The way to see the sights at old
Benares is to go on the river and in
the morning. In the early dawn five
of us with guide were af1oat ON the
sacred waters. Our boat. fiat bot
toned affair, had a pole at each OF
the four corners which supported a
platform high and lifted up from
which unstable and elevated position
we viewed the sights along the way.
The day before we had visited the
temple of Bisheshwar, the greatest
Hindu God in Benares, commonly call
ed the Golden Temple, because the
dome and spire are covered with
plates OF gilded copper. We had
whipped off the monkies at the Mon
key temple-of which it is said there
are three thousand of them-because
they had taken too great liberty with
our lady companions, and now the
bathers were attracting our attention.

The morning of cur sight seeing
was cold and cloudy but that made no
difference with the people who had
come to battle. The reason that the
throng was not there was because it
was not a special only an ordinary
day. There were only about three
thousand present but that was enough
to witness nearly every phase of reGg-
ious activity. Although the cold did
not prevent their coming, it found its
way through the loose cotton gar

shook and shivered like the old time

The sewerage of the city poured its
stream Of filth and death into the sac

bouquets which had been offered to
the cows and gods gave forth stencil

all the people bathed. They poured
