SWEET CLOVER

Mrs Minnie Hail. Of Calfa, Cali
fornia writes as follows: rs 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 general
thing, it is considered a noxious weed.
Stock will eat sweet clover when they
have become accustomed to it, but
due to a slight bitterness, it is not
usually relished as much as other
clovers. We have known Of instances
where, after the stock had become
accustomed to sweet clover, they
seemed to eat it readily and do very
well 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.
A much more satisfactory method is
to cut the alfalfa and feed 1t as soil
ing crop. or to cure it and feed it as
hay. Experience shows that one will
get a great deal more feed off an acre
if handled this way than If the stock
are allowed to Craze the alfalfa.

SAVE THE FODDER

Although it is too late in the season
to consider doing anything with the
corn for ensilage purposes we should
not overlook the fact that to save the
fodder which we have already cut is
not only our duty but is very impor-
tant from the standpoint of having
sufficient feed for our livestock dur.
ing the winter months.
OF the many ways to save the corn
crop the use of the slo is perhaps the
best, and yet only few of the farmers
in the corn belt have taken advantage
of this means of saving the corn crop
this season and we should begin
right now to investigate the silo
problem so that we can erect
one next year. The silo not only
saves 80 to 40 per cent of the corn's
nutrition that would otherwise be
lost, but it affords a green and suff1-
cient feed during the winter months.
Crop reports sent out by the govern
ment show that the farm value of
hay as quoted October list, is some
what less than 1t was October list,
1911, but yet it is higher by con"
siderable amount than usual In other
words this indicates that the amount
of rough feed available throughout
the country is less than normal and
for this reason we should put forth
extra efforts to save all the fodder and
other rough feed we have as it will
come in mighty handy before spring.
When we consider the increased farm
value of hay and the fact that If
fodder is left standing in the field
from % to 40 per cent of it's feeding
value is lost we will realize how i'm
portant it is to form our plans now to
save this fodder in the best possible
shape.
Perhaps you have not done so, but
you have seen your neighbors leave
the corn fodder in the fields during
the winter months and haul it in day
after day as it was required. This is
bad practice. to say the least, and We
hope that no reader OF the Service

regarded as possessing an inte-

any single life is dependent upon
the larger life about it, which it
is capable Of touching, absorbing.
and transmitting into it's own vi

ress of the world is due not so
much to the great careers of
great men, but in a very large
measure to the excess of time
and thought and energy which
busy men have nobly given to
the worlds need and the worlds
distress. The untired efforts of
tired men, the generous giving
of time on the part of those who
have no time to spare, the devo-
ton of the hours of rest to addi

MEASURING HAY IN STACK

Reply to Andrew Wright, SidewOod,
formula for measuring hay in the
stack?"
For obtaining the number Of tons
Of hay in stack, the first step is to
measure the width and length with
tape line, and then what is known as
the overthrow, that is, pass a tape
line from the bottom of the stack on
one side over to the bottom on the
other side and divide this measure
ment which is called the overthrow
by three, then multiply the length by
the width, and this by one-third of
the overthrow-this gives you the
number of cubic feet in the stack. OF
course, If the stack is different
widths or different heights you will
have to take the measurements in
several places and obtain the average
of these by adding them together and
dividing by the number of measure
ments made.
The number of cubic feet of hay
per ton varies considerably with the
length of time that it has been stacked.
With newly stacked hay it will take
about 500 cubic feet to equal ton.
If it has been stacked for two to
three months, from $50 to 400 cubic
feet will equal ton. After you have
obtained the number of cubic feet in
the stack, divide by the number of
cubic feet in ton, taking into con.
sderation the length of time that the
hay has been stacked.

Bureau will be found guilty of this
practice this season. Late fall rains
coupled with occasional sleet or snow
storms not only waste a considerable
amount of the fodder but make It
extremely difficult to handle If left in
the field. Fodder left exposed in this
manner loses it's feeding value through
the loss Of protein caused by the
action OF the elements and by the
wasting Of leaves due to handling.
The next best practice is to stack
the fodder as soon as the corn Is
tho stack somewhere convenient to
the feeding rack or on the south side
of a grove where the fodder can be
fed during the cold winter mornings
by scattering it on the ground where
the animals will be protected from
the cold northwest winds.
This brings us to the subject Of
shredding fodder, which is the most
important and by far the best way Of
saving a fodder crop. The husker and
shredder now in common use cuts the
stalks in longitudinal sections,-into
small bits which puts it in a much
more palatable form. It has been
found that live stock will eat much
more of the stalk when shredded than
when fed whole The machine used
for this purpose will deliver the corn
in a husked condition. The cost of
shredding varies, of course, in differ.
ent localities, but figuring the aver
age cost of husking corn and storing
it, the expense of shredding is prac-
tically the same. Then you will not
only get the corn husked and stored
but you will have your fodder in
convenient form for storing and feed
ing 1t is a good plan to store the
shredded fodder in the hay NOW or in
some place where it can be covered.
If 1t is impossible for you to do this,
stack the shredded fodder close to
where you intend to feed 1t. This
will not only save labor, but will re-
duce losses in handling and hauling
the shredded fodder Another advan.
tage of shredding the fodder which is
often overlooked Is the convenience
in handling the stable manure. 1t is
perhaps unnecessary to call the Corn
Belt farmers attention to this fact.
Let us plan right now to at least
stack our fodder and If possible use .
