AlkAL| LAND
SWEET CLOVER S1LAGE FROM
POOR SOIL IS RELISHED BY
COWS.
PLAN CARRIED OUT ON STONE
HOUSE FARM APPEARS A BIG
SUCCESS.

J. G. Haney, in charge of the agri-
cultural extension department of the
International Harvester company here
returned to this city yesterday from a
trip to the Crystal Springs Stock
farm, owned by A. Stonehouse and 10
Gated between Larimore and Arvilla.
An experiment with a pit silo is be-
ing carried on at the Crystal Springs
farm and Mr.. Haney is enthusiastic
in the belief that it will be a great
boon to the dairymen of the state in
making valuable a large amount of
waste Land. He reports that Mr..
Stone house is highly elated over the
success attained SO far.
Built in July.
The silo was constructed in the ear
ly party of July and filled up with
sweet clover, the purpose being to
make ensilage from it, an Innovation
in the northwest.
Sweet clover will thrive on alkali
soil and other land where little else
will grow, Mr.. Haney points out and
if the experiment turns out the sus-
cess that is hoped for, it will make a
vast amount of so-called bad land in
the state Of value.
Mr. Stonehouse this year devoted
considerable land to the raising of
sweet clover for the purpose of carry
ing on the experiment. 1t is claimed
by Mr.. Haney that sweet clover prob
ably grows better in this part Of the
country than any where else in the
United States.
Cows Devour Ensilage.
! About three days before Mr.. Haney
went to the Crystal Springs farm, Mr.
Stonehouse had commenced feeding
the sweet clover ensilage to his COWS
each night after they came in from
the fields when they were not parti,
cularly hungry. The animals ate uI
every bit of the ensilage and every
evening following their first "feed'
came around earlier than usual in or
der to get the choice morsel. Mr.
Stonehouse missed feeding the ensil
age to the COWS one evening and the
next day their milk supply showed :
falling off, indicating that the animals
had come to rely on the new food fol
nouriskment.
Splendid Indication.
"This is an excellent indication tha
the new ensilage will prove a big sue
cess, says Mr.. Haney last evening
"It is very much like corn ensilag
and apparently is just as valuable
Mr.. Stonehouse measured the are
of sweet clover cut and then weighe
the new product, showing that he ha
obtained an average of Is tons o
sweet clover ensilage per acre.
Mr.. Haney states that sweet Glove
not only thrives on poor land, but ais
helps to build up the soil. He if o
the opinion that the sweet Glove
scheme marks a great step forwar
in scientific farming and will prove o
inestimablc value to farmers an
dairymen.-Grand Forks Herald.
