WINTER PASTURE CROP
Inquiry for Legume TO Fill I'M

Cotton Territory.

Many southern farmers have long
felt the need Of winter crops for pas
ture purposes and soil improvement.
AS the ability OF legumes to secure
nitrogen from the air becomes more
generally understood, the greater is
the inquiry for a winter legume that
will fll these important needs. South
ern bur clover, or winter bur clover,
as II is sometimes called, meets these
requirements remarkably well. 1t is
easy TO grow, is adapted to many kinds
of soil. and to begin its growth in a
small way does not require much ex-
perience.
Bur clover is not true clover, but
belongs to the Medicago family, being
closely related to alfalfa The plant
Is a native of southern Europe and
western Asia 1t is a low, spreading
annual that readily reseeds itslef when
left alone and spreads slowly over old
fields and pastures. 1t is easily de-
stroyed in cultivated crops and need
not prove a troublesome weed to the
farmer.
Bur clover seems to be adapted to
any territory in which cotton can be
raised, and it grows in all the Gulf
and South Atlantic states. If plants
become well rooted before cold
weather they will stand a considerable
freeze, the tops, If frozen, renewing

COWPEAS RELlSHED BY HENS
One Successful Poultryman Gives Elk.
perlenee With PIant-Egg Supply
Vlslbly Increased.

Cowpeas are not only relished by
hens, but 1t is excellent egg food for
them. One successful poultryman
gives this experience: The peas,
after matured, we're harvested and
stored in dry lofts, and thrown to the
fowls in scratching pens, where they
we're scratched over and searched for
during the whole day.
after a few days. the egg supply
vislbly increased, and within a few
weeks almost doubled that from an
equal number of hens kept in separ-
ate quarters and fed on other grains.
The hens seemed to like the small
branchs and leaves, and would eat
every particle except the hard, stirr
stems.
The general health of the flock was
excellent, and not a single hen
showed the least symptom of ailment
during the winter season. Consider
ing the ease with which cowpeas
may be raised, 1t seems that every
one should give them test as food
for the poultry.
