clover, and almost equal to al
falfa. Sweet Cover, if sown al
one early in the spring, on god
soil, will make one cutting of
hay the first year, depending Oh
the amount of rain and other
conditions being favorable. 1t
should not be cut for hay the first
year until it has reached its
maximum growth. and it is we'll to
cut rather high SO as to leave
some protection.
The second year the growth
will start very early, and if COIL
ditions are favorable will be ready
to cut for hay earlier than will
be expected. The growth is very
rapid, and il soon begins to get
steny. 1t sohuld be cut before
the stcmc develope very far, which
will be long beofre any bloom ap-
pears.
The cutting of the white sweet
clover must be high. The new
growth does not come from buds
at The crown like alfalfa or red
clover, but from branches on the
stems. If it is cut below these
branches, the plant will be killed.
The ordinary mower does not ad-
nit of being adjusted as high as
it should be. Extensions can be
put on the shoes to hold the
sickle bar four to six inches from
the ground. When cut. the hay
can be left on the ground to cure,
the same as alfalfa. In the hum
id sections the hay contains a
large percentage of water, and is
slow in curing. We found it
somewhat more difficult to cure
than alfalfa. When stacking, if
IS to 20 pounds of salt to the
load are used, the stock will eat
| he hay more readily.

4 great deal OF money will be

counties of the state in improv-
ing their roads. There are now
possibly $4,000 miles of inn
proved earth roads in North
Dakota To maintain these
roads already built and to retain
the value of the money spent, is
more important than to neglect
these roads for the construction
LOT new ones. Economy Of keep
ling roads in repair is very ap-
