A Wonderful Escape.

Fieschi tried to assassinate King
Louis Philippe Of France in July, 1885.
The king was riding along the lines Of
the national guard in the Boulevard du
Temple. There came a crash and a
rush Of bullets. Louis Philippe's arm
was grazed. his horse was shot in the
neck, Marshal Mortier fell dead and
about thirteen other people were killed
and thirty wounded Fieschi had taken
the upper floors Of a house several
weeks before and there rigged up an
oaken frame four feet by three feet six
inches. supported on four posts Of oak
and itself supporting twenty-five gun
barrels fixed in grooves at various
angles so as to command an area Of
twenty-five feet in length and ten feet
in height. When he fred the train OF
powder that let Off his battery the king
would have been killed If four barrels

was nece sary. 1t is advisable not to
begin the rractice of only disking.
Better t5 blowing again
You VIII perhaps not need to plow
the grorad 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 diskige it. and if you do we would
be very pleased to know the result.
One Of he drawbacks to Canadian
farming is a lack of system of crop
rotation BY all means plan on rO-
tation Of crops. which will include
wheat oats. and barley, and some
legumlnons crop. This may be clover,
alfalfa. Canadian field peas. or some
other similar crop that will do well in
your specific locality. II you can grow
corn, it would be well to include this
in your rotation.

KEEPING sHaEDOEp FODDER

W. w. Greiner. Orange. Virginia,
writes as folovs Il en- using a
McCormick huskor and shredder this
fall, but have no storage rooms for
stover. My plan is to stack it out
side, but have been advised that there
is great danger Of losing it if stacked
outside, and cannot afford to lose it.
Can you advise me how to stack it so
it will keep? [ can neither bale it nor
build storage rooms this fall"
Shredded fodder may be kept either
outdoors or inside, depending on local
conditions. II 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
rs easily handled as hay. lr
sections of the corn belt the shredded
fodder is stacked outdoors. but very
seldom is this done excepting where
it is impossible to put it under cover.
We would suggest that you use some
coarse hay to top the stack, and thus
prevent some Of the loss due to wet
weather.
The only denger of stacking shred
ded fodder or putting in the harm re-
suits from the fact that it is shredded
when very damp or wet. In no case
should fcdser ~ 81 -cdled during
damp rainy day beea Sc it Will absorb
the moisture very rsridlr, and if stored
when in this condition is very apt to
spoil We have known of instances
where shredded fodder has burned up
caused by instantaneous combustion,
due to the fact that It was shredded
when too wet, 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 it
outdoors.

&naLL ! PLOw or DISK?

Gecrga Tincan Tiney, Alberta.
writes IS eallows Referring to your
ad. 50 Calgary Herald about giving
advice en- crops, etc, should like
to have yonr suggestions on some
points On prairie soil broken for the
first time in the fall Of 1911, have
harvested forty-nine acres of wheat
and forty acres Of corn. The land was
plo8ed 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
plowed2 What crops should follow
wheat and 0afs?"
AS a general practice, the land should
be plowed once a year unless there are
unusual climatic conditions. II 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
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

A slight condition of constipation

STABLE MANURE

Undoubtedly some stable manure
has accumulated about the buildings
during the rush of harvest th-eshing,
and corn picking. It is a good plan to
get this out onto the field just as soon
as possible. If there come 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 seat deal OF its value is apt
to be lost by heating. It is a common
thing to see pies OF stable manure
steaming during the winter months.
This is dine TO heat from the pile and
If it were possible for us to see just
what was taking place we would find
that nitrogen was escaping. AS nitro
gen is one OF the most important plant
food elements. 1t is a good plan to
Milford chronicle., 1913-03-21

follow methods OF handling the ma
nure so as not to lose 1t. An ordinary
load of stable manure will contain
about 10 pounds of nitrogen, which if
bought on the market IN a CONNER
cal form will cost 25 cents a 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 a
meadow which we expect to put into
corn next year. It is not advisable to
apply manure at this time OF the
season on hillsides or where it is apt
to be washed away. It is always
advisable to apply fertilizer Of this
kind to the highest parts of the field.
II is very generally conceded that
best returns are obtained from a light
application from the fact that manure
applied in this wav Is much easier
incorporated with the soil than II
spread in large quantities. The only
practical way Of applying manure
uniformly IS by the use Of a manure
spreader. and every farmer who raises
stock should consider his farm equip
ment incomrlete unless he has a ma
nure spreader.

CLOVER



We have often called attention to
the fact that every farmer should
whenever sowing grass Of any kind in
clude some one Of the varieties of
clover If you expect to use your
land for meadow purposes then one of
the larger varieties, viz. the Nam
moth Red or Common Red clover
would probably serve your purpose
best. II you expect to use the land
both for pasture and for hay, the
Alsike clover will serve your purpose
best. While on the other hand, if you
expect to pasture the land, then We
would recommend a combination OF
Alsike and SVhite clover.
There are several ways in which
one can obtain a stand of clover. The
first under consideration is to com
bine clover and timothy with winter
wheat sowing them at the same time
along the last part Of September
Glover should not be sown at this
time, however, provided you are par
ticularly anxious to obtain a stand.
Glover sown in the fall will winter
kill very badly under normal condi-
tions and for this reason it is not ad-
vlsable 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
she land is in a rough and frozen con
aition 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
HMu We EA Abt ANNblAAttAiu IT. buA UA
the other hand II 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 a 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 10 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 viii come on later.
Either OF the latteF two methods
ought to give you fairly good returns.
II you expect to leave this field seed
ed down for any length OF time it
would be a good plan to add two or
