SWEET CLOVER

Mrs. Minnie Hall, of Califa, Call
fornia, writes as follows as 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 a general
thing, 1t is considered a noxious weed
Stock will eat sweet clover when they
have become accustomed to it, but
due to 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 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 it as soil
ing crop, or to cure it and feed it as
hay. Experience shows that one will
get great deal more feed off an acre
If handled this way than if the stock
are allowed to Craze the alfalfa.

THE LITTLE
PAY
BY c. c. DcWSrGELD

strating the great loss that IL being
sustained throughout the country in
not making closer study in require
ments of cultivation for large grain
yields 1t is rotation and diversity
that are lacking-the former to keep
up the farm, the latter the profits.
Every practical rotation must con.
tain crops that use nitrogen and crops
that gather it. For example, in the
common rotation of corn, wheat and
clover the first two use nitrogen, and
the third gathers it. In fact. clover is
user and gatherer Of nitrogen. Do
not think because legume adds nitro
gen to the soil that 1t does not use up
plant food. All the leguminous crops
use more potash and phosphorus than
almost any of the grain crops. A large
amount of nitrogen Is also used, but it
Is taken from the air.
Now let the farmer push this diversi-
ication far beyond the corn. wheat and
clover crops. Cowpeas and oats sown
together make splendid fodder and
benefit the soil. They can be harvest
ed by midsummer and crop Of milet
grown on the same land by fall. Rye
and clover sown together in the fall
can be cut for fodder by June l and
potatoes, corn, rutabagas, millet or
cowpeas grown the same season.
While farmers are making $50 to $50
an acre on heavy grain crops they
should not overlook such products as
onions. beans, potatoes. sugar beets
and fruit, which return Il profit of 500
to 5000 an acre and place agriculture
on a business basis.

vETCH GOOD FOR THE SOIL.
When Plswed Under II Adds Big
Stores of Humus and Nitrogen.

Vetches are not very extensively
grown in the United States. and they
are probably as little known as any of
the leguminous farm crops. One rea-
son perhaps is that they are more sen
Sitive to climatic conditions than citle
cowpeas o: soy beans. While filling
practically the same place in the TO
tation. cowpeas and soy beans have.
therefore, naturally become more wide
spread In their cultivation. The seed
bed for vetch should he well pui
verified and be in firm and moist
condition. 1t is well to seed this crop
broadcast on fall blowing after having
narrowed or disked the field several
times during early spring to destroy
weeds. If there is any danger OF weeds
seriously menacing the crop It is I'd

subsequently gave careful conside ra-

farmer TO accomplish these definite
results:
Increase profits by enlarging pro.
duction at fixed expense.
Diversity crops and all other prod
ucts so as to distribute labor evenly
throughout the year.
Secure a regular income at all sea-
sons by supplying customers with
poultry and dairy products, vegetables,
beef, pork, etc.
Shorten the workday to ten hours.
provide comfortable home, improve
the appearance Of the premises and
try to make life enjoyable.
Let the young people have a little
money from the production Of fruit,
flowers, vegetables and experimental
crops. Teach them to plan work for
themselves and to love the country.
There are farmers who have delight
full homes and who give the young
people all reasonable advantages, but
they are an exception to the rule.
Country life is made dull and distaste-
full as q general proposition by long
hours, drudgery and lack of social
interests. This explains the large eX-
odus of young people to town when
they could be happier and more pros
porous In the country.
The difference in yield between the
land properly farmed and the land
poorly farmnd is so great that scien-
tific farming experts are now calling

mites to the urgency of taking up the

Another Triumph for Marconi.

An Italian name like "Guglielmo
Marconi'' suggests to many persons
the thousands of humble toilers who
sell fruit and dig bitches. Perhaps
that is one reason why little spirit
of detraction of Mr. Marconi's
achievements has always been mani
tested. Over in England, too, he is
not wholly acceptable, as his moth
er and his wife were both Irish
women.
The announcement just made by
Mr. Marconi that vocal sounds had
been sent by wireless telephone
across the Atlantic is one more tri-
umph. His statements have always
been governed by such reticence that
this may indicate much larger pos
sibilities than his first words admit.
When Mr.. Marconi is interviewed,
the reporters say his modesty is pain
full. He always speaks of our" in
struments and mechanisms, instead
of mine" In this he is no excep-
ton, however, as the attitude of the
scientific investigator is always diff
achievement in politics or business
With the latter, the "P' and my
and mine" are the pronouns most
frequently heard. Scientific re-
search seems to develop caustic
criticism of ones own achieve
ments, and habit of giving credit
to other men.
So Mr.. Marconi has always gen.
erously admitted that he owes a
great deal to others. Pioneer dis
coverers work along parallel lines,
each gaining from the other. Finally
one little more inventive hits the
right combination. The world en-
thrones him and forgets his associ-
ates. The idea of telegraphing and
telephoning without wires is old
Prof. Morse in 1914 sent messages
under the Susquehanna river. But
Marconi earned his triumph. With
infinite patience he learned from his
failures. He encountered an insidu-
Gus and selfish opposition to his ex-
periments with messages to and from
ships. But all such jealousies he
viewed with the tolerant humor that
is characteristic of his modest and
gentle personality.
