TIME FOR CUTTING GLOVER
With Good Weather Hay Should BE
Left In the Windrow Over Night
and Turned the Next Day.

Glover for hay should be cut as
soon as the first blossoms begin to
turn brown, and the hay should be
cured In the shade After the clover
has been cut, it should be turned with
a tedder as soon as the leaves in the
upper part Of the swath are well
wilted. Before the leaves and stems
become dry and stiff, the hay should
be raked into windrows. This viii
shade most OF the hay and allow a
good circulation Of air through it.
Glover cured in the windrow does not
get stiff like that exposed to the sun
in the swath for day or two. With
good weather the hay should be left
in the windrow over night and turned
time or two the next forenoon. It
should then be ready for the stack
the second afternoon. Cured in this
way the stems are soft and pliable and
much natural moisture is retained In
the leaves.

gown in the spring on winter grain, the
grain Is narrowed very lightly after
the clover seed Is sown broadcast, or
the clover seed may be put in with a
double disc or shoe grain drill. The
selection OF q nurse crop for clover
must be determined quite largely from
the crops best adapted to the soil and
needs of the farm; and, at the same
time, one that will materially assist
the clover in meeting the usual eli
matte condition Of the locality should
be used.
Young clover should never be pas
tured or cut for hay the year Of Its
seeding, unless it should show signs OF
blossoming after the nurse crop has
been removed. Then it is safer to clip
on the heads with q mower than to
pasture closely or cut for hay. Meth

the ground Is well settled.
Clover is an excellent pasture crop
for all classes Of stock, as it furnishes
a luxuriant growth Of a highly nutri-
tious food from early spring until late
in the fall. providing It is not pastured
too closely. During the heat of the
summer it should not be pastured

after taking or the hay crop makes

PEOPLE FORGETTING
TO STAND FOR HYMN
That Awkward Pause When Star
spangIed Banner 10 Played u still
in Evidence with Audiences.

II the teachers in the schools keep
up their patriotic teaching, the next
generation will not experience that
awkward pause which always comes
to an audience when the Star Spang-
led Banner is played or sung. Every
American should rise when the nation
al hymn Is played. The people OF ev-
cry civilized nation except America,
rise as one man at the sound Of the
first note Of their national hymn.
The awkward pause came yesterday
to the audience at the Elks memorial
services. The Elks themselves were
standing for the closing ceremonies
and OF course remained standing as
the orchestra played the national
hymn. A few in the body Of the aud
fence rose at the first notes.. then one
and another rose, many however, sit
ting through the entire number. A
little patriotic thought on the part OF
everyone would prevent the awkward
situation occurring again in Keokuk.
The musicians OF the city are doing
their part to promote the custom OF
rising, by not playing the Star Spang-
led Banner as part In medley, but
/ to give it as q separate number. thus
making 1t possible to give to 1t the
respect due national hymn.
