1t was not long before they were
snugly established in their woodland

frosty evening arrived in due time. 1t
was an exciting moment for Perdita
when the match was applied to the
heap of sticks and twigs which Per
dita's husband had gathered, The two
cottagers drew up their chairs and
prepared for peaceful meditation OF
the approved kind.
How it smokes!" said PeTdita,
presently.
That's because the fireplace hasn't
been used for such a long time" her
husband answered reassuringly.

Perdita, "and your eyes are full of

ton for drouth resistance, making a
good crop whe neverything else of the
nature Of pasturage had long been
burnt up by the severe drouth of the
season in that part of the country.
This field is one of the special OBJ
jects of interest in that part Of the
state and is visited by hundreds who
wish to. e it for themselves.
One Of the farms of W. P. Graham
of Rochelle contains The greatest ,
sweet clover demonstration of the
state. Recently an automobile party
of farmers from down-statc, number
ing a hundred, made a 300-mle tour,
to see a number of things of value to
their business, the most important Of
which was the Graham sweet clover
demonstration. Mr.. Graham has used
the crop for ~pasturage for beef feed
ing on a somewhat extensive scale
The crop throve and grew so luxuriant
ly that he could not pasture it down
with a herd, that would have over
stocked any other class of grasses or
clover. He had to cut it to keep it
from growing, out of condition for the
stock. While cattle do not take to it
readily at first, they get a taste for it
that leads them to eat it with avidity.
The Graham experience is being
watched all over the west. 1t i'm
presses Mr.. Graham as a resource
which is to play quite a part in the
future of beef raising in the United
States solving the cost question.
Like alfalfa and red clover, sweet
clover is a soil builder. AS a crop to
pillow under for the renewing of the
soil it has no equals. It has in fact
been adopted in many instances ex-
pressly for that purpose. 1t also has
the merit Of inoculating the land for
sowing to alfalfa, as it depelops the
same bacteria. Its advantages as a
foraging crop have been overlooked
till now. Here we have one of the
pests of the country which promises
to be among the most valuable of the
possessions for solving the difficulty Of
the national meat supply, as well as
for the other purposes of food produce

In our office we have a sample of
Sweet clover, which was pulled by E.

the Stonehouse farm near Larimore.
This stock is about six feet tall and
according to the statement of Mr..
Moen, it was growing on a sandy piece
of soil where one would think that
nothing could grow. In the state of
Illinois and other eastern states this
plant is coming into prominence as a
forage crop, and it is said that one
acre Of sweet clover will pasture five
or six head of cattle. At the Stone
house farm near Larimore they have
quite a field of it and Mr.. Stonehouse

is very enthusiastic over it. From in
vestigations made and present indica-
tons this pant promises great things
for the future pasturage, as wei as
a great crop to raise for fodder. It
is a rang grower and grows so fast
that it is almost impossible to keep
it fed down. While it is a new thing
in this state there are several over
the state who are experimenting with
it and we predict that in the near
future it will be grown extensively
