"A description Of the several kinds
of sweet clover growing in this coun-
try will enable one to select that which
will best suit his needs.
WHITE SWEET CLOVER (M~elilotus

erect. 8 to 4 feet high first year, and
d to II feet high second year. when it
blooms and bears seed. Stems rather
coarse, about half inch thick at the
ground.

low flowers. Grows erect, IN to 3 feet
high first year. and 4 to 8 feet high
second year, when II blooms and hears
seed. Stems are nearly as ine as al
falfa, seldom being u quarter inch
thick ut the ground. Contains rela-
lively large amount Of leaves and fine
branches.
INDIAN SWEET CLOVER (MelilOtus
lndica)-Amnual: yellow flowers. In
the far West and Southwest 1t grows
~ to IS inches high; In other sections
Of the country 1t seldom grows more
than 6 to II inches. Blooms and bears
seed the first year. and dies out In the
middle or latter part OF summer. Con-

Unhulled sweet clover seed carries
particles of soil from the field where
IL was grown and thereby provides
incubation where W However,
thorough incubation does not always
occur until n year or two; and, as
good incubation il very important to
the best success, II il usually advisable
to inoculate artifcially with either soil
or pure bacteria culture. Three to
four hundred pounds Of inoculated soil

clover. alfalfa. burr clover or trefoil

Hailed or UnhulIed Seed.

The unhulled seed is used altogether
in northern Kentucky, In the Gulf
States and also in other localities to
a larger extent than hulled seed. For
winter and early spring sowing the
unhlilled seed IL preferable. as the hull
assists incubation and terminates
equally well. The hulled seed is often
aduiterated with cheaper seeds. For
summer and fall sowing some think
the hulled see terminate quicker. but
1t should lie remembered that 1t is
the hard coating ove the seed germ
that Is 50 impervious to moisture, and
not the hull. which Is a thin. porous
membrane that decays very quickly in
the ground.

SWEET CLOVER.

Favorable reports regarding sweet
clover continue to reach us from the
West. but in the East the experience
with 1t seems to be very limited and
the reports Of it's value are conflicting.
In the West sweet clover IL used as
a food for live stock in the way of hay.
for pasturage when mixed with
grasses and other clovers and as a
soiling crop.
II also serves az a fertilizer for the
ground. as an orchard v crop.
green MANURE crop, rotation crop. for
stopping erosion or washing of slopinS
lands. as a %forerunner to improve and
~inoculate the soil for growing alfalfa
and also as a bee pasture. IT Is a
heavy seeder and produces large seed
crops.
We will try experiments with clover,
planting both the yellow and white
varieties, and results will he reported
another season.
The following facts regarding sweet
clover are used by permission from the
copyrighted pamphlet Sweet Clover"
by L. L. Barton, Falmouth, KY:
Owing to the peculiar flavor Of
sweet clover individual animals some-
times do not take to It readily at first,
but all kinds of live stock soon learn
to like it and eat it grcedlly and thrive
on it. often preferring it to any other
forage. This hesitancy applies only
while II Is green. and more particu-
larry when 1t grows rather large. for
when it Is young and tender stock do
not hesitate to eat 1t AT the start, nor
do they refuse II when cured into hay.
In localities where the crop is cultl-
waited extensively even young stock
turned to 1t for the first time do not
hesitate to Feed upon 1t. The plant
possesses high ~nutritive value in both
protein and fat and has been used as
food for animals from the earliest
times.

sweet clover and, in fact, II does bet

sired to raise "A crop OF grain while

Covering the Seed.

best to cover the seed. TnlS may DE
done with a drag. disc or toothed har-
row. or with one Of the modern seed
drills. The depth of covering should
vary with the kind of soil, its me-
chanical condition and the amount
of moisture present. In rather heavy
one-half inch will be deep enough.
but In a coarse soil or rough seed
bed, in ligh sandy soils and under
dry conditions the seed may be COW
cred an inch or more. After the seed
Is covered "a land roller will smooth
and firm the surface of the soil SO as
to promote termination by bringing
the soil particles In contact with the
seed and bringing the moisture mp
from the subsoil by capilarity. As
sweet clover seed should not be GOV
cred as deeply as grain. the latter
should be sown and covered before
sowing the clover seed. Late In the
spring sweet clover seed may be sown
on winter grain before 1t grows very
tall, and covered with a toothed har-
row. This will afford f, cultivation
for the grain and usually improves it
very much.
In case of winter and early spring

Local Nimrods are reminded
that the season for hunting
doves, quail and other game
birds will not open until Nov. l.
Many hunters seem to be under
the impression that the law
designates Sept. l, as the first
day on which doves may be kill
ed, but the statute now in force
fixes the beginning of the sea-
son two months late. Warning
is given that the regulation for
the protection of wild life of the
state will be rigidly enforced by
the Conservation Commission,
and all sportsman should make
it a point to familiarize themsel-
YES with these provisions and
cooperate in their enforcement.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation Is now in the midst Of
a controversy as to how best to pro,
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it Is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled "gas bombs
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus.
mess enterprises and bombarded az.
riculture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip.
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub.
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny Of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter Of a century we
have fought many duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out fer universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port Of Uni
yersa Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace, like charity
should begin at home.

No man-especially if he is mar.
ried-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give US peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all is said and done, is not
the selection Of the butcher more I'm.
portant to the home than the election
of mayor; is not the employment OF
the dairyman far more Important
event in the life Of the children than
the appointment of a postmaster; is
not the selection Of books. for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for Jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit Of woman
hood that it is not, as rule, the
woman who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; it is not
tho mother who teaches her children
to say Now l lay me down to sleep
that harangues the populace; it is not
