SWEET CLOVER

Mrs. Minnie Hall, OF Califa, 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 a general
thing, 1t is considered noxious weed
Stock will eat sweet clover when they
have become accustomed to It, but
due to a slight bitterness, 1t 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 1t readily and do very
we'll 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 1t, especially
in the fall of the year or early spring.
A much more satisfactory method is
to cut the alfalfa and feed 1t as a soil
ing crop, or to cure 1t and feed 1t as
hay. Experience shows that one will
get q great deal more feed of an acre

SHALL l PLOW OR DISK?

George Duncan Tilley, Alberta,
writes as follows Referring to your
ad. in Calgary Herald about giving
advice on crops, etc, I should like
TO have your 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
plowed 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
plowed? What crops should follow
wheat and oats?"
AS a general practice, the land should
be plowed once 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. II has been the mistake OF
a 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
that in many places they have worn
the land out much more rapidly than
was necessary. It is advisable not to
begin the practice of only dsking.
Better try blowing again.
You will perhaps not need to plow
the ground any deeper than 1t was
plowed last year. but ordinarily the
result will warrant your doing this
by leaving a part of your ground and
only disking it. and If you do We would
be very pleased to know the result.
One of the drawbacks to Canadian
farming is a lack of system of crop
rotation. BY all means plan on a no.
tation OF crops, which will include
wheat, oats, and barley, and some
leguminous crop. This may be clover.

other similar crop that will do we'll 10

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

STABLE MANURE

Undoubtedly some stable manure
has accumulated about the buildings
during the rush of harvest, th-eshing,
and corn picking 1t 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 1t advantageous to use this time
cleaning up the yards.
II the stable manure Is allowed to
stand in piles during the winter
months a great deal of its value is apt
to be lost by heating. II is common
thing to see piles of stable manure
steaming during the winter months.
This is due to heat from the pile and
II 1t were possible for us to see just
what was taking place y would find
that nitrogen was escaping. AS nitro
gen is one of the most important plant
food elements, it is a good plan to
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 IL
bought on the market IN a CONNER
cal form will cost 25 cents q 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. 1t is not advisable to
apply manure at this time OF the
season on hillsides or where It is apt
to be washed away. 1t 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 light
application from the fact that manure
applied in this way 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 manure
spreader, and every farmer who raises
stock should consider his farm equip
ment incomplete 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, II you
expect to pasture the land, then we
would recommend a combination Of
Alsike and White clover.
There are several ways in which
one can obtain 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.
Clover sown in the fall will winter
kill very badly under normal condi.
tions and for this reason 1t is not ad.
visable to SOW clover during the fall
of the year. With timothy 1t 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 1t 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
the land is In rough and frozen con
dition is the best time to add the
clover seed. The heaving due to
freezing and thawing will cover the
seed sufficient under most condi
tons. However, II the land is sandy
this practice might not be successful
and we do not recommend 1t but on
tHe QUIET manu- IL your sui COHtdluo q
large amount OF clay you could expect
success by following this method.
Another way Of sowing timothy and
clover but one which requires little
more judgment on the part Of the
farmer is to sow the wheat in the fel
and add the clover and timothy in the
spring after the land has thawed on,
and the surface become dry. tn,
plan u TO SOW the clover and timothy
combined at this time by using q pes
tooth harrow, which not only covers
the seed but cultivates the wheat al
the same time. The timothy will not
show up with the first season, but you
ought to get good crop Of clover and
the timothy will come on later.
Either OF the latter two methods
ought to give you fairly good returns
II you expect to leave this field seed
ed down for any length of time II
would be good plan to add two OIL
three pounds of Bluegrass seed wheI
sowing the timothy.

Should fodder be shredded curing a
damp rainy day because 1t will absorb
the moisture very rapidly, and II 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 IL was shredded

OF weather.
If you could stack your shredded
fodder against one side of the barn,
and provide board roof for it, and at

PROFESSOR P. G HOLDEN
Joins the I H c Service Bureau

Professor p. G. Holden. the well
known authority on corn, enters the
employment of the International Har.
vester company Of America. His
work will be in connection with the
Service Bureau, and will be strictly
educational in nature.
Professor Holden is one of the few
men who now stand head and shoul.
ders above all others in educational
extension work. Our experiment
stations have worked for years OBJ,
tanning and collecting information
along agricultural lines. The usual
way of distributing this has been
through bulletins and other publica.
tions, which method although It is
good, lacks the effectiveness Of per.
sonal contact In getting the facts
to the farmer in an effective way Is
where the professor excels.
He received his early training in
Michigan, later in Illinois, and devel-
oped his great extension work in the
State Of Iowa. It was due to his eff
forts that the first demonstration
train was equipped and operated. He
also has established county demon
stration work on county poor farms,
winter short courses, boys corn clubs,
and other forms of extension work
which have helped greatly in the de
velopment of Iowa and in placing her
high among agricultural states.
Through his efforts in corn the
average increase for the period of the
last eight years over the period OF
eight years previous, has been three
bushels to the acre, thus adding mil.
lions to the wealth OF Iowa.
Since the Service Bureau was or.
ganized two years ago, 1t has accom-.
plished much In the field Of agricul.
tural education. II now has three
demonstration farms in the south and
two in the west II has distributed
good alfalfa seed in some sections OF
the corn belt; also published many
booklets, prepared articles fer 49,.
press, Offered handsome prizes for
the best yields of grain, has come
in close contact with the rural
schools, presented illustrated lectures
to thousands OF audiences, establish
ed fellowships and scholarships, and
many other things for the advance
ment of agriculture.
The acquisition OF Professor Holden
will add greatly to the effectiveness
Of the Service Bureau work. Under
his direction the educational work In

tory In which the company does bust
