method includes the plowing OF the

a crop OF some kind is planted and
this is allowed to occupy the land
until the next spring. The land is
plowed again as early as possible. and
this is followed by clean cultivation
and a cover crop as before.

FEEDING SILAGE IN SUMMER
Cows May BE Maintained More Cheap
iy Than Can Through Hot Sea-

Dean Mumford OF the Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture makes the state
ment that cows can be maintained
be carried through the summer on
bluegrass pasture where the land
costs about $500 per acre and is suit
able for growing corn.
He says that there is very little
pasture land where COW and a calf
can be pastured on less than one and
one-half acres, but it is entirely pos
sible to get 121a to 20 tons of silage
from one acre. A COW and her cali
can be carried through the summer
on two pounds of clover hay and 35
pounds of silage per day as we'll OF
better than on bluegrass pasture Thus
he declares that you can carry a COW
and her calf six months on less than
a half acre Of silage.
The good dairy COW has a broad
forehead, indicating intelligence and
kindly disposition. She has a short
thin neck, not at all beefy, in which
veins are plainly manifest She Is
narrow through the front shoulders
and thick chested, indicating good
lung capacity.
She has a large, well-rounde.
stomach. showing capacity for stor

milk Is to be manufactured She has
broad hips and good width through

lacteal organs. There is also a gentle
incline from her shoulders to hel

legs and extending forward and back

Her legs are short and her hair is .

China has a large area OF barren
land, despite her dense population
The reason being that for many cen.
turtles 1t has been necessary to give
the closest possible attention to every
square foot OF land suited to agrcul-
ture In order that the people should
be ted. The Chinese have shown
themselves to be good agriculturists,
but In developing agriculture they
have sacrificed the forests on land
which could be cultivated and at the
same time have neglected to plant for
ests on the now barren mountains
This has been because the govern
ment has taken no interest in the sub
fect. and forestry on anything like a
national scale is too big a proposition
for individual enterprise, even II in
China there had been a spirit of Ell
terprise. One OF the signs OF the new
order OF things under the republic Is

OF the province OF Shantung to Major
Ahern. the director OF forestry in the
Philippines, for permission to send az
many Chinese students as possible to

AUGUST-S0WN CLOVER
Summer Rains win Keep Soil In

(By RALPH TAYLOR)

! Clover Land intended for summer

to death and care should be taken
that they stay dead.
Clever can be sown In August on
soil that Is light and sandy as the late
summer rains will, as q rule, keep the
ground In good condition. When the

The seed may be brushed in after 1t

much, rather than too little seed
should be used from eight to ten
quarts being broadcasted, according to
preference, allowance being made for
loss of seed due to unsoundness, con-
sumed by birds, failure to terminate
by not being covered.
The seeding should not be done
later than September. as limit, as 1t
has been demonstrated that later
seeding may result in failure, but not
necessarily SO.
The grass will make good growth
before winter, and If manure is plenti-
full 1t Will be of much benefit to apply
1t as winter mulch. Early in the
spring light application Of nitrate
of soda about SO pounds per acre and
100 pounds of sulphate of potash will
give the grass good start.
While fertilizers and manure are
the main agencies for securing a good
crop, yet much depends upon the CON
dition of the soil when the gyass IL
seeded, for upon the preparation will
depend to a certain extent the ability
of the plants to secure moisture the
succeeding year, as according to the
preparation OF the soil will the root
growth progress and the retentive
capacity of the soil itself be In
creased, while the more care given the
soil at the beginning the better the
crop after it starts off in growth.
