Mixture Number 1 is best under

soils 30 pounds Of this mixture will
give better results than a less
amount. II the land is lacking in

be used in place Of Blue Grass on

A classification embodying premi

the management expects this year to
be, as usual, a great show.
In addition to cash premiums, the

Heretofore the Pigeon Department
has been under the MANAGEMENT of
the Poultry Department, but through

pointed a committee of the foremost
pigeon breeders and placed the depart

Birds will be cooped in Standard
Uniform Coops, and one bird to the
section. for which the small sum OF
five cents per bird will be charged.
This assures no fighting or ragged

Soil Texture and Moisture.

The term texture when applied to
the soil refers to the size of the soil
PARTICLES Generally speaking, there
are three main classes Of soil. based
on texture. sand. silt and clay, and all
productive soils are. as a rule, com
posed Of combinations Of the above
classes.
The amount Of movement and the
rate Of movement of soil moisture are
governed to quite an extent by texture
In sand we find that the action is
rapid. but lasts but short time. On
the other hand. the movement In clay
Is very slow, but the water travels
through a much greater distance. In
soils Of medium texture the action is
intermediate throughout. In the aver
age soil movement of water Is confined
to a few feet, but In some of the fine
textured soils It may travel a consid.
cradle distance.

Turnips can be sown even as late as

sown.
In field culture the rows are often
thirty inches apart to allow for horse
cultivation.
The most popular garden varieties
are Early Flat Dutch. the Purple Top
and the White Top Strap Leaf.
The Swedish lrutabaga, is the best
for cattle and sheep. The turnip needs
rich soil with good cultivation to
produce results. A finely pulverized
soil with high fertility Is best. Good
manuring Is necessary. Use old una
nure finely broken. The English farm
ers manure the turnips exclusively In
the drill. which gives them fine start
A strong loan well drained and kept
mellow by frequent cultivation will
hold manure well and yield heavy
crops. Rutabagas clean the land OF
foul stun and with proper manuring
and plenty OF cultivation prepare the
land for any succeeding crop that

MEADOWS AND PASTURES
Continued from last week.

The Nurse Crop. There is moth
ing gained by sowing a nurse crop
with early fall seedlings Of grass or
clover. These tender seedlings gen.
orally need all the moisture availa-
Bile. n n nurse crop is sown in the
fall, no hay crop can be secured the
next year, and grazing will have TO
be greatly delayed. A nurse crop
with spring seeding assists in chok-
ing out the weeds but aside from
this is Of no material advantage.
All nurse crops should be removed
from the field as soon as possible.
Amount and Kinds Of Seed to Sow.
Next ~ the preparation OF the seed
bed, the poorest place to economic
is IN the matter Of quality and
quantity 81 seed. Unless sufficient
plants are growing on the land max
lmum yields cannot be secured.
This is secured by sowing an album
dance OF the choicest and clean
est seed. Mixtures Of grasses and
clovers make more hay than one
kind sown alone. In choosing
meadow mixture all varieties used
should mature at the same time,
aud should be well adapted 10 the
soil on which they are to be grown.
For pastures such varieties as will
prolong and MI in the grazing per-
lod should be selected The follow
ing mixtures seem well adapted to
the various conditions described.

The Kansas experiment station I'm a

plant, despised as pcrnicious weed.
has very considerable agricultural val.
Ne. IL Is stated that las a soil i'm
proven II Is unexcelled: for pnsturing
purposes II has considerable value, and
as forage crop II can be utilized TO
good advantage where alfalfa or red
clover cannot be successfully grown"
Attention Is called 10 the fact that
there are several varieties Of sweet clio.
yer, OF which the common white sweet
clover and the large biennial yellow
sweet clover are the most important.
The white variety Is generally TO be
preferred for farm purposes. although
the biennial yellow IL sometimes pre-
ferred where hay production is de
sired Sweet clover Is adapted to o
wide range Of soils. and while II does
best on good soils 1t will make a salts

Grown on good soil and properly
handled II makes a fair quality Of hay
which may In many cases be substi
tuted with advantage for the more
valuable alfalfa and clover hays. In
actual nutritive constituents 1t is prac.
hcally equal to these. II makes an
excellent pasture for cattle. sheep
horses and hogs. and for this purpose
may be prostably grown on very poor
and rough land
For quick results In improving the
soil sweet clover is superior to most
other crops. Its ability to thrive well
