WHITE GLOVER. PROFITABLE CROP
Valuable as Soil Renovator and for
Food

Those farmers who have seen that
valuable forage plant, sweet clover,
growing uxuriantly on the farm of Mr.,
Joseph Conneway. near Table Rock,
are surprised that the plant is not
more extensively cultivated throughout
Garrett county, because OF its value as
a soil renovator and food.
Those who saw the three foot tall
sweet clover in Justice Rudisill's office
pronounced it as the ideal product 'for
the silo.
We would advise every one interest
ed in the cultivation of the soil to watch
the success of these enterprising farm
ers in growing this new crop for this
county. The fact that the same bac-
terra is found on it's root as on alfalfa
make it a good preparatory crop of
alfalfa as farm on which sweet clover

The most prosperous towns are those
whose inhabitants enjoy the most ad-
vantages for education, religious cul-
ture, recreation and such amusements
and diversions as are elevating IN their
tendencies, 'and are free from demoraliz-
ing influences. Oakland is a splendid
example of tins spirit and policy. 1t is
what her citizens have done to make
the city beautiful and a desirable place
in which to live, fully as much as her
direct efforts to secure trade, that has
given her the prestige she enjoys.
A piece of refuse in the street or
yard, or elsewhere, is Just one piece
and is easily picked ny. But when it is
allowed to remain from day to dav and
is joined by others and still others it
soon becomes and unsiEhtly, dirty and
filthy collection of rubbish, q detrment
to the good name of the town and a
menace to the health of our people.
Who's for picking them up this sum-
mer? Who's for improvement, and
progress and more sanitary measures?
If left for one or two persons TO do, it
will never be done. If every body does
it, there will soon be nothing left to be
done

has been grown is thoroughly inoculat-
ed for alfalfa
A recent bulletin issued by the United
States Department has the following to
say regarding this crop,
1t is efficient as a soll renovator, by
reason Of the large amount of nitrogen
that it is able to take from the air as
well as the humus added to the soil
when it is turned under, or from the
decay of roots when the crop is har-
vested.
Sweet clover will grow Oh soils too
low in humus content for the favorable
growth Of most other legumes.
Analysis and feeding experiments in
dictate that it is nearly equal to alfalfa
in feeding value.
Its not troublesome in cultivated
fields or meadows as ordinarily treated,
because it can not persevere more than
two years from one seeding.
Sweet clover can usually be killed by
moving when in full or late bloom.
We would advise all our readers to
apply to The U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington, D. c., for copy
of Farmers Bulletin No. 485, on Sweet
CLOVER, as it is possible that this plant
will supply the place of an easily grown

BREED FOR EARLY MATURITY
Leghorn Pullet Laid First Egg In Four
Months and torteen Days From
Date Of Matching.

A single-comb White Leghorn pullet
that laid her first egg just four months
and IA days from the date of her
Matching 10 one of the results of breed
ing for early maturity obtained by the
College OF Agriculture, Ohio State Uni
versity. The usual age at which pull
let's begin laying Is about ak months.
This extraordinary fowl was one Of q
group Of 720 that were Matched at the
same time. Five or six others from
this group began laying much earlier
than ordinary fowls, showing that It
pays to breed for early maturity. They
were from strain Of single-comb White
Leghorn, bred especially to develop
early laying. IL may be interesting
to know just how this flock was fed.
From the first day of the sixth week
they received twice day grain ra-
ton of two pouAds fine cracked corn
and three pounds cracked wheat. Up
until the twenty-frst day they also
received three times day moist
mash composed of four pounds rolled
oats, three pounds wheat middlings,
six pounds wheat bran, four pounds
sifted meat scraps, two pounds alfalfa
meal. one-fourth pound bone meal.
one-fourth pound fine charcoal. This
was mixed with skim milk or butter
milk and fed in shallow trays.
From the sixth week to maturity
they received grain ration Of two
pounds cracked corn and two pounds
whole wheat in open hoppers. From
the twenty-drst day to maturity they
received mash composed of one
pound rolled oats. one pound cornmeal.
one pound wheat middlings, two
pounds wheat bran, one pound sifted
meat scraps. half pound alfalfa meal.
two ounces fine charcoal This was
fed dry in open hoppers. In addition
they were given green foods and grits.

Farmer Who Designed H.
Keep the Now Ventilated.

A homemade loader can be easily
rugged up. An Illinois farmer has made
one which he thinks great help. He
says this stacker when equipped with
fork and an active horse. will
handle all the hay six wagons can
bring in. The rope is fastened at the
top and bottom Of strong. slanted
pole. and the fork hangs over the
center of the stack. The wagon is
placed alongside the board sideways
and the fork used the same as In the
barn.
II the hay is to be stored in the
barn, you will need steady team on
the wagon. The hayrack ought to be
about sixteen feet long and ten feet
wide. II you are good loader, boards
at the ends and sides will not be nee
essary.
When you arrive at the barn with
q load, hitch q steady horse on the
end OF the rope attached to the hay
fork. set the harpoon as deeply as
possible. and the horse will draw up
800 pounds in twinkling.
When the hay has run along the
carrier to the point where 1t Is TO be
dropped. pull the whip-cord. and there
you are.
With q bright boy to handle the
horse on the rope and an experienced
man on the load. 1t can be put into
the barn In ten minutes or less.
Always begin at the back end Of the
NOW. or the end farthest from the
chute to the barn floor; because when
hay is put in In that way, 1t will come
out easier when being fed.
1t is q good plan to place the hay
level in the NOW when 1t is being un.
loaded. II you can get an extra man
to help, 30 much the better; II not, dc
the best you can between bites with
the fork. and keep the NOW as level as
possible.
Keep the NOW ventilated as long a.
possible, always being careful to close
the doors and windows to keep Out

hardest work dane on the farm, there
