forty miles north Of Zamboanga, by

Bell and Newman.

in the Paris building in Manila, and
attracted a great deal of attention. II

USE FRESH MANURE IN FALL
When Distributed at Planting Time
Fermentation Burns Roots Of
Piants-PIow In Fall.

Do not use fresh manure at plant
Ing time. The fermentation burns the
roots of young plants. 1t is a good
plan to pillow fresh manure in the fall
and leave the ground rough all win
ter, so that the alternate freezing and
thawing will crumble the soil. Use
only well-rotted manure at planting
time. If you have none, you would
better buy chemical fertilizers, un-
less your land is desperately In need
of decaying vegetable fiber, which it
probably is.
For leaf and stem crops. choose a
kind of fertilizer which Is rich In nj
trogen; for fruit and flowers a kind
which has a good proportion Of phos-
phoric acid and potash. Potatoes and
other root crops also require plenty
Of potash.

TIME TO sow CLOVER SEED
Work Should Be Done In Spring ano
Not Too DeepIy-Broadcast and
Follow With Harrow.

(By A. c. Army, Assistant Agriculturis,,
Minnesota Agricultural College.)
Glover should invariably be sown
In the spring, and, under normal con-
ditions, comparatively early.
Broadcasting the seed and following
with a harrow has been frequently ad-
vised, and is successful in Minnesota
during wet seasons and on heavy
soils; but is often unsatisfactory in
dry seasons and on light soils. Glover
should not be sown too deeply, and
yet it is desirable to SOW It sufficient
ly deep that it will neither blow out
nor dry out easily. Under most con
ditions, either using the grass-seed at.
tachment to the drill or mixing the
seed with the grain is to be recon-
mended. Excellent stands of grass
have been obtained by mixing the red
clover with the grain and sowing the
balance of the grass-seed mixtures
broadcast. If grass seed is mixed
with a drill, the drill should not be
run more than from one to two inches
deep.
The amount of seed per acre will
vary slightly with the method of seed
ing and the purity and terminating
power of the seed. 1t is believed that
in general too little, rather than too
much, seed Is sown. If clover is sown
separately, it should be at the rate Of
from eight to ten pounds of red or
mammoth, from Jour to six OF alsike,
and from three to four of white clover.

birds which make them a considerable
portion Of their food are too valuable
to be killed just for sport.
AS a scotland weed-destroyer, its
mission is scarcely less important.
The food capacity of each bird is
estimated at a half ounce per day.
Some one, taking Virginia for the
basis of computation and allowing
four Quails to the square mile, finds
that In that state alone 573 tons OF
seeds are consumed by quails during
the months from September 1 to April
30. Some of our worst weeds are
also included in the list, as grab
grass, black plantain, cookie, orange
hawk-weed, ~rag-weed, fox tail, wild
morning glory and bindweed.
Though a prolific race, quails have
other enemies than the gunner to
work for their extinction. One of the
most common is heavy snow, cutting
off their food supply. AS they are
ground birds, heavy now followed by
rain or sleet often forms a crust un-
der which they are hopelessly buried.
The farmer who scatters grain free
ly about the yard in time OF heavy
snow will find that they are as regu-
lar feeders as his domestic fowls, and
the little care given for the short
period required pays in pleasure as
we'll as in dollars and cents.
