An application of manure or straw
will aid the young clover in getting
started and hasten the work of res
toration. 1t is probably best to delay
the sowing of other grass seeds for
two or more years after the sweet
clover has been seeded The areas
should not be pastured, but the sweet
clover allowed to fall down and form
surface mulch. On badly eroded
areas sweet clover and the yellow
locust form an excellent combination.
If the land is not leveled before seed
ing the young trese should be set in
the bottom of the bitches. Probably
the best plan to get sweet clover
started on eroded or very thin soils is
to transplant one-year-old plants in
the spring. This is neither as slow
nor as laborious as it might seem. One
plant every four or five feet is sufi-
cient 1t possesses the merit of being
almost invariably successful. Plants
are usually available in wayside sweet
clover patches.

STORING THE SWEET POTATO
Should Be Left in Field Until Moist
ure Has Fully Evaporated-Then
Hill Up for Winter.

There are several different meth
DDS for storing and keeping sweet
potatoes which have proven success
full.
Potatoes, when first dug. have a
large amount Of moisture in them,
which must evaporate. When the
weather is good, they should be left
out in the field until this evaporation
is complete; otherwise, the moisture
and the intense heat, generated by
their drying in HILL will cause rot.
When this is not possible, they should
be piled loosely in a dry house for a
week or two.
They may then be killed up for
the winter. Select dry place and
pile up dirt about six or eight inches,
then cover over with vines or dry
leaves. Pile the potatoes on this
foundation until the pile is FIVE or
six feet across. Cover with dry straw
and lay boards over the pile much
in the manner of shingling, leaving
n small hole of five or six inches in
the top. Be sure that your covering
will shed all the water; then cover
with earth The top must be left
open so that the evaporation of the
potato will not cause rot, but must
be fixed so that no water can enter
he pile.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit OF
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger Anoint additional partings
about half an, inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura ONT
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over he/hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment

(By C. G. GIBBS.)
These cattle originated in Holland,
several hundred years ago, but were
almost exterminated during the great
Holland wars. The few that were
left fell into the possession of the
nobility and they have controlled
them ever since. They have kept the
breed pure and are not inclined TO
part with them.
Fifty years ago, Barnum, the show
man, induced the Holland nobility to
let him bring a few to this country
for show purposes. He showed them
under the tent for awhile and then
placed them on his farm along the
Hudson river, in Orange county, New
York.
Motley calls them the most won
derful cattle in the world and Mr.
H. G. Hengerwell, head inspector Of
the Holstein herd book of North Hol-
land, declares They stand equal to
the best cattle in our country for
milking, breeding or fattening

USE OF SWEET CLOVER
Plant Is of Great Value in Re-
Storing WORKOUT Soils.
Badly Rundown and Abandoned Cot.
ton Plantations Have Been Re-
stored to Fertility and Profit
by Its Use as Mulch.
lBy R. G. wEATHERsroNE.l


Sweet clover is not noxious weed
1t is of unquestioned value in restora-
ton of worn and eroded soils, and it
has many other important uses. 1t
grows luxuriantly in roadside bitches,
in the cuts of railroads and generally
in situations similar to these erosions
and it's ability to withstand these ad-
verse conditions and often even to
prosper there, indicating it's available
ity as a means of restoration of such
waste places.
Il Sweet clover has a very wide dis
tribution throughout the world, being
found on each of the continents and
ia many of the islands.
The department of agriculture for
South Australia reports that this
plant has transformed the barren,
sandy waste of King island into one
of the most profitable dairy regions
of Australia.
The plant is found growing in most
of the United States as a wayside
weed, and in large areas in MISSISSIPPI
pi, Alabama, Kentucky, Iowa, Colo
RADIO, Nevada, California and Ohio.
Badly rundown and abandoned cot
ton plantations in Mississippi and
Alabama have been restored to fer
tility and profit by the use of sweet
clover as mulch and green manure.
1t is being used in similar way in
the hills of northern Kentucky in re-
storing badly eroded tobacco lands i
and as a soil ameliorant in Iowa. In
the far west it grows in profusion on
the banks of irrigation bitches and |
in deserts where the soil is so alkaline
that other plants will not thrive.
Throughout the world the large areas
of sweet clover are usually to be found
on soils very calcerous, showing the
same fondness for lime that is COM
mon to alfalfa. While the plant shows

wheat in midwinter when the ground
is honeycombed, with oats in the
spring or on well prepared seed bed
in May.
In these latter cases the seed should
be lightly covered. 1t may also be
seeded during August, as is frequently
done with alfalfa. The seed usually
terminates very poorly, owing to the
presence of a large number of hard
seeds. For this reason from 90. to 80
pounds of seed should be sown per
acre. Even more of the unhulled
seed can be used to advantage.
AS soil ameliorant sweet clover
gives promise of great benefit to
farmers. When used in this connec-
ton on areas deficient in lime, this
should be literally supplied.

Dutch belted cattle are now to be
found in nearly every state of the
Union and many have been imported
to Canada, Mexico and Cuba.
In color they are black with band
of pure white around the body. They
also have white fore feet. white hind
feet and legs up to the gambrels and
white switch, but have never
known one to have white at all these
points.
They are very docile and intelli-
gent. They are large, hearty, with
good constitutions. The cows weigh
between 1000 and. 1850 pounds and
some bulls have exceeded ton in
weight.
They are wonderfully persistent
mixers. The famous COW, Queen,
dropped her first calf when 20 months
of age and was never dry afterwards
although she dropped calf yearly
for IA years. She gave 20 pounds OF
milk a day for seven consecutive days
on grass alone when fresh.
