SWEET CLOVER GOOD
TO REN0VATE SOILS
One of Best Crops Available to
Improve Land-MakeS Fine
Green Manure Crop.

There are few plants which will
put rundown farms into condition for
producing crops as quickly as the once
despised sweet clover.
Because of it's nitrogen-gathering
habit and the fact that its deep tap
roots bring large quantities OF min
eral plant food up from the subsoil
it is one of the best crops available
to improve land. If plowed under 1t
makes a fine green manure crop.
Sweet clover is biennial plant and
may be used with profit in the rota-
ton of crops. 1t is being used more
extensively each year as forage crop.
1t makes excellent pasturage for
horses, sheep, cattle and hogs. 1t may
be pastured early and late, and live
stock learn to eat 1t more readily IL
they are turned into it early.
There is little danger of bloating
stock on sweet clover, but to be safe
avoid pasturing when the clover IL

If any difference is made it should be

that the load is farther front from the

crop. 1t is worth baled all the way
from 81 to Sc ton.
My dwelling and barn are located on
ground much higher than the field ON
which the straw stack stands and on
which the wheat crop was grown.
Threshing the wheat and stacking the
straw on the lower ground saved haul
ing it up steep grade to the barn and
stock lots. An open straw shelter and
fenced lot have been built for calves
and colts for the winter months. They
communicate with large pasture in
which the animals Craze practically
all the year. The calves and colts
can come to the lot and shelter when
ever they desire to do so. When the
ground is covered with snow they are
confined in the lot about the straw
stack all the time, being watered and
given extra feed besides the straw.
The shelter is well covered with
straw and has three tight pole and
straw sides, making it thoroughly COM
Portable in cold and stormy weather.
Although there is room in the barn for
all the animals this calf and colt shell
ter relieves the congested condition
of the barn when all of the farm ami
mails are to be sheltered, and utilities
the straw for roughage so as to re-
duce it to manure during the winter.
By keeping some of the farm animals
here through the winter they get
good share of their living from the
straw and by the time spring comes
the straw stack will be reduced to
good manure.
Many farmers thresh their small
grain crops away from their barn
grounds to save hauling the wheat
a long distance, yet in so doing the
straw stack is in such location that
it cannot be economically used. 1t
stands out in the field for several
years, gradually rotting down, but al
ways occupying valuable field space.
In the end practically no good has
been derived from the straw. The
good farm manager who realizes thN
possible value of straw will ar
to feed it as soon as possible
threshing, or use it for bedding
FOR some other good purpose. 1t is
better to spread it back on the land
,r use it for filling gullies than to al
ow it to stand in the stack and SLOW
y decompose for three or four years.
Straw makes an excellent temporary
inimal shelter; it is ideal bedding ma
erial and it is fairly good roughage
or winter feeding of horses, cattle
md sheep.

Team Did Not Show Up

There was no game at Pallsade
last Saturday owing to the failure
of the Hasbrouck Heights team to
show up. Nor did they do the Pail
sadians the courtesy to send word of
any kind why they could not come.
1t was a very cheap bid for fame to
act with such unusual discourtesy, and
it is to be hoped that Palisade will
not schedule any more games with
teams that so readily disregard a
moral obligation. Sometimes a club
may have legitimate excuse for not
filling a date, but they should always
say so. This particular game had
been advertised quite extensively, and
before time for the game they had a
little parade around town with the
small boys carrying banner an
nouncing that the Hasbrouck Heights
club would play.
The Palisadians got together a
scrub team and played a practice
game with some youths from the
neighboring towns, the score being
three all in six innings when rain
put stop to the sport. The day was
a terrible one for heat, and made
playing something fierce.

Prevent Forest Fires
Pubhc's Cooperation Sought to
Stop BLazes Which Are
Causing Big Losses
in the East.

To obtain the cooperation of the
public in preventing forest fires which
are doing a great deal of damage in
the East this spring, the department
has prepared ten "Don't's" to be
observed in the woods. 1t is hoped
that these rules may have beneficial
effect during the fire season of the
southern Appalachians, which is not
yet over, and that of the north woods,
which is just beginning and which,
from present indications, promises to
be unusually severe.
The "Don'ts" follow:
1. Don't throw your match away
until you are sure it is out.
2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar
butts until the glow is extinguished.
8. Don't knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other infammable ma
terial
a. Don't build a camp fire any
larger than is absolutely necessary.
5. Don't build fire against tree,
a log, or stump, or anywhere but
on bare soil.
6. Don't leave a fire until you are
sure it is out; if necessary smother it
with earth or water.
7. Don't burn brush or refuse in or
near the woods if there is any chance
that the fire may spread beyond your
control, or that the wind may carry
sparks where they would start a new
fire.
8. Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than you are with
fire in your own home.
8. Don't be idle when you discover
fire in the woods; if you can't put
it out yourself, get help. Where a
forest guard, ranger, or State fire
warden can be reached, call him uI
on the nearest telephone you can find
10. Don't forget that human
thoughtlessness and negligence are
the causes of more than half of the
forest fires in this country, and thai
the smallest spark may start con
fagration that will result in loss Of
life and destruction of timber anC
young growth valuable not only fol
lumber, but for their influence il
helping to prevent flood, erosion, ant
drought.
In many States laws covering mos
| of the provisions in this list Of
"Don'ts" are strictly enforced by the
State authorities. In some States
| persons who go into the woods may
| not build fires at all unless they have
| received a permit to do so from the
State Forester. Severe penalties are
imposed for carelessness which nigh
| lead to forest fires.
