JAPAN CLOVER FOR PASTURE
duces Fair Amount of Hay in Many of Southern States.

Japan clover is an annual legume which grows well and produces a fair amount of hay in Louisiana, Arkansas and other lower Mississippi valley states. Conditions very similar to these exist in the extreme southeast ern portion of Oklahoma. However, if you go farther to the north and west where conditions are dry it grows but four to six inches high and is suitable only for pasture.
 Seed can be secured from any seed company in the southeastern states. It may be seeded either in the fall or early spring. The rate of seeding should depend upon the purpose for which it is planted; that is, whether seeded by itself or mixture of some other pasture crop. Fifteen to twenty pounds of seed is usually used per acre.
 The seed is sowed both in the hull and hulled conditions. In the un- threshed condition a bushel will weigh from fifteen to forty-five pounds When threshed it has about the same weight as alfalfa or clover seed.
 In this state Japan clover is suitable only for pasture and is probably bet. ter in a mixture. It does fairly well in bermuda or in native grass. It volunteers each year so that it is necessary to SOW but once, unless the pasture is kept very close. It is easily killed out by cultivation, hence cannot be considered a weed. Those contem- plating trying this crop should do so first on very small area in order 10 judge it's value.-Department of Agronomy, Oklahoma A. and M. Col lege. Saltwater

There is enjoyment in working a waste into thing of beauty and prof it. Still more, there is enjoyment in doing something that will be pleas ure to others. The cleaning up of such places along the roadside and in the fields, and perhaps, around the house, will surely be doing that which will please the sight of others who pass by.
 swamp is an unsightly place as well as disease breeder. Then there are the returns, which are quite large, says an Illinois writer in Farm Prog ress. l have in mind a man in my neighborhood who only few years ago had swamp near his house, and with just little work in draining and clean ing up he has made it into one of the best garden spots that have ever seen
 It is simply astonishing to see the amount of garden stuff now produced on that spot, which only a few years ago was nothing but a nasty pond of water. Of course, it is not consistent to think that all waste places can be cleaned up at once; but the sooner this Is begun the sooner 1t will be over Nor can we expect to get the largest profit out of the waste places the first year. It will depend somewhat on the kind of waste it is-whetler a swamp in the middle of the field or heap of rocks. It will depend on the kind of after treatment it receives.
 Some places will bring more profit when put in one thing and some in another, This is a matter that must be studied out by the individual farm CT Rock heaps such as I have often

said to be our greatest American fail ing in dietetics.
 Water should not be iced, but cool enough to be palatable, either sum mer or winter, and the amount each individual should take depends large ly on the food eaten. If one eats large ly of fruit less water is needed and II one drinks much milk. less is required, but even the very young baby should be given frequent drinks of cold water.
 As children must suffer with their teeth, when the little gums are in- famed and swollen, a drink of cool water will give much relief.
 The acids in fruits play an impor- tant office in destroying those germs which create gases and cause autoin- toxication. Fruit juices act on the kidneys and quench thirst. At the same time they are natural laxa- tive.
 A juicy, good favored apple is bet ter than medicine, and should be eat en many times a day. Seraped apple may be given to young children.
 The reason that fruit is pest eaten either early or late in the day is that the stomach is empty and thus the digestive juices have free access to the fruit juices, stimulating them to action
 To keep in good condition, drink freely of water before retiring, as this fushes the system. The first thing in the morning rinse the stomach with a good tonic of cold fresh water half hour at least before eating.
 Though fruit contains little nutri- tion, it has a large amount of eel lulose which adds bulk to the food and stimulates the activity of the juices on the digestive tract, thus aiding di- gestion

seen in the middle of the field are a nuisance and they are very unsightly The ground there is improbable, and the rocks are doing no one any good
 If some unsightly hollow or mud hole is filled with them, then there are two places bettered and two pieces of ground that are capable of becoming profitable.
 A scraggy apple tree is in sense a waste place, for of what profit are those dead limbs and suckers? How much better well-trimmed tree looks The fruit is much better, there fore, more profitable. Who is there that likes a small, .hard, wormy ap- pie? With a little cutting away of the useless wood and the proper care good, large and profitable fruits can be had

A great lesson for most farmers to learn is that quality counts and is paid for in the markets final analysis. The local market may disregard quality more or less. but farmers themselves are at fault for this The consumer pays for quality every time and some seller gets the quality profit.
