SOWING TURNIPS.

Turnips can be sown even as late as
the beginning Of August. These are
the yellow. feshed varieties. and for
stock feeding the seed is sometimes
sown broadcast from the 18th of July
to Aug. 5. About two and a half
pounds of seed to the acre should be
used.
For earlier use in garden culture
plant in rows one to one and a half
inches deep and foot to a foot and a
half apart
The plants should be thinned to
stand from four to eight inches apart
in the row. depending on varieties
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 'rutabagal is the best
for cattle and sheep. The turnip needs
a rich soil with good cultivation to
produce results A finely pulverized
soil with high fertility is best Good
manuriug is necessary. Use old ma
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 stuff and with proper manuring
and plenty of cultivation prepare the
land for any succeeding crop that
needs a well prepared son.-Rural

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Never be stingy in the use of bed
ding. 1t adds comfort to the stock
and improves the condition of the land.
Feed the horses which work hard
good nourishing food and plenty Of it.
A half fed horse can't work and thrive.
A young horse doing the same work
as an old one should have as much
feed.
Apples given in small quantities
make an excellent feed for colts.
There is no better way of getting on
good terms with the youngsters than
by quartering sweet apples and feeding
to them from the hand.
Shredded corn fodder is one of the
things that have not been fully appre-
ciated OH the farm. 1t is good for
bedding the stock. it is convenient to
have in the henhOuse as litter, and
it is really worth considerable as
feed.
Farmers will be surprised to find
how many boarders they have in the
dairy herd if they only test their cows
for butter fat. The Ohio station found
one herd Of twelve cows that had elev-
en- boarders. BY boarders are meant
cows that do not pay for their keep.
In order to get the most out Of oil
meal for hogs it should be mixed with
boiling water and allowed to stand
few hours before mixing with the 9th
er slop. Some feeders get good results
by feeding 1t dry. but their equipment
is different from that Of the average
pork raiser.

SWEET CLOVER.
Not Weed and Has Considerable Ag-
ricuIturaI Value.


The Kansas experiment station in a
recent publication makes it plain that
sweet clover, hitherto neglected
plant, despised us Il pernicious weed,
has very considerable agricultural val
ue. 1t is stated that las soil i'm
proven it is unexcelled; for pasturing
purposes it has considerable value, and
as forage crop it can be utilized to
good advantage where alfalfa or red
clover cannot be successfully grown"
Attention is called to the fact that
there are several varieties of sweet clo-
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 Is sometimes pre-
ferred where hay production is de-
sired" Sweet clover is adapted to
wide range of soils. and while it does
best on good soils it will make salts
factory growth on very poor soils.
Grown on good soil and properly
handled it makes fair quality of hay
which may in many cases be subsd-
tuted with advantage for the more
valuable alfalfa and clover hays. In
actual nutritive constituents it is prac-
tically equal to these. 1t makes an
excellent pasture for cattle, sheep,
horses and hogs, and for this purpose
may be profitably 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
on soils lacking in humus or otherwise
badly run down makes it especially
adapted for this purpose. Like alfalfa.
cowpeas and other legumes, it has the
ability to obtain nitrogen from the air
by means of the nitrogen gathering
bacteria which live in tubercles on the
roots of the plants, thus adding much
nitrogen to the soil in which it grows.
When plowed under for green manure
or allowed to remain on the land this
crop is very efficient one in building
up the humus content Of the soil. The
large roots, which penetrate deeply.
break up the lower layers of the soil
and add much humus thereto when
they decay. thus improving the phys
ical condition of the soil to II consid-
cradle depth below the depth of plow-
ing. Sandy as well as heavy clay and
hardpan soils. which would not other
wise produce satisfactory crops, may
be so improved in texture by growing
sweet clover for few years that they
become quite productive.
