Bur Clover Is
Best
Will Serve Excellently In
South as a Winter Cover
Crop.

Washington, d. c., Sept. s.
Bur clover is the cheapest le-
gume that will serve in the
South as u winter cover crop
and prevent the washing of
soil. The southern or spotted
variety is the one best adapted
to conditions over the larger
part of this area. Among the
special advantages of bur clio
yer is the fact that good stands
can often be obtained from
year to year without additional
seeding. When once establish
ed on pasture lands bur clover
will reseed itself indefinitely
provided the plants are allowed
to mature some seed at least
every other year. Its use has
also resulted i'll many instances
in materially increasing the
yield of cotton. Farmers bull
letin 693 of the department of
agriculture gives directions for
inoculating the land and BOW
ing the seed and suggests rota-
tons in which bur clover may
be used to advantage.
Bur clover should always be
sown in late summer or fall. In
the cotton states the best time
for seeding is the month of Sep
tember, but it may be seeded in
August and seeding as late as
October often give favorable
results even as far north as
South Carolina. Seeding later
than October, however, are to
be avoided whenever possible,
as but little fall and winter
growth is usually secured from
such paintings. When the seed
is sown in the bur, broadcast
ing is the only practicable
method. To obtain full stand
by this method from three to
ak bushels of seed per acre are
necessary. After sowing
light narrowing should be Civ
en-. In the regions, however,
which are well adapted to bur
clover, it is much more econo-
mical as a rule to begin with a
light seeding and to depend
in subsequent years on the vol.
unteer crop when this is practic.
able.
In the cotton states lack of
incubation apparently has of.
len been the cause of failure in
establishing bur clover crops,
especially when hulled seed was
sown. Usually when seed is
sown in the bur there are
enough bacteria in the dust on
the burs to insure incubation.
10 is desirable, however in
planting bur clover for the first
Time that farmers do not go to
the expense of purchasing
large quantity of seed, but that
they plant a comparatively
small area; inoculating the soil
either by the soil-transfer meth.
Cd or, in the absence of inocu.
lated soil, by the use of pure
cultures. When once patch of
bur clover has been grown sue
ccessfully on n farm the whole
farm can easily be inoculated
by scattering soil from the
places where the bur clover
grew successfully.

THE GRANDMA HEN.
She Must BE Considered in Picking
Out Your Laying Stock.

Don't forget to take look at the
pullet's family tree when you are
considering her as a possible layer,
cautions Robert E. Davies in an ar
ticle in Profitable Farming Maya
zine, st. Joseph, Mo. Heredity
counts big in hens, and the good lay
ers are usually chip off the old
block" Therefore, remember what
the grandma hen did in the way OF
egg performance, and base your eX-
pectations of the pullet on that.
The successful poultryman must
make it a business to keep tab on
his fowls, says Mr.. Davies, for the
surest way to proceed is by knowl-
edge. A man may be good guesser,
and there are some pretty good indi-
cations of a layer, but if you have
a line on the family, you are pretty
sure of your ground.

SPECIALITY FARMING.
One Man Made $4,000 Raising Cab
bages on IL Acres Land.

Seeing the price of all kinds of
food advancing, the average man
feels like Offering much advice about
the raising Of these products. OF
course such suggestions are apt to
be worthless. Still it is admitted by
most experts that farm methods Of
past years have been inefficient and
unbusiness like. So the consumer
may perhaps express an opinion
about the general principles on
which he thinks farming could be
placed more on a business basis.
A hint in that direction is offered
by a dispatch just published from
Burlington, VT, telling how one
man had made $4,000 by raising
cabbages on IL acres of land. While
a good many farmers are making
handsome profits nowadays, it is not
likely that many of them have clean
ed up $4,000 in one year by raising
cabbages. This man no doubt sue
ceeded by specializing on this crop.
He must have studied every author
ity on the raising of this vegetable,
and talked with every man who could
give him any practical information
Many farmers fritter away their
energy by doing too many different
things. In most forms of production
the man who wins out is the one who
specializes. He produces few lines,
but gets out a large amount on each
line. In that way his help becomes
expert on that proposition. When
you double your production, you do
not usually double the labor costs
But you should increase the skill
with which the work is done. The en-
pense account grows smaller per
unit of production and the results
should become of better quality.
OF course in speciality farming, if
there is crop failure, it is more dis
astrous. But the speciality farmer
should be better able to protect his
crop from insect pests and the vici&-
STUDIES of weather.
The consumers hat goes off to the
farmer who can make a success in
any kind of food raising. He per-
forms a public service in time Of
struggle with living costs.
Lots of people go to church Just to

Making Hog-Cholera Serum and
Virus.

Recent years have witnessed such
general adoption of the practice of
vaccinating hogs to protect them
from cholera that the scientific pro-
duction of serum and cholera blood,
or virus, has become a commercial
undertaking of considerable magnt-
tude. Anti+hog-cholera serum is
made from the blood of a hyper-im-
mune hog. The method of produc-
ing this serum is described in the
November Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. An animal is selected which
has had cholera and has recovered
or has been yaccinated. 1t is placed
in a portable crate and wheeled il
to a laboratory where a block and
tackle is employed to raise it up in a
frame so that it cannot move. An in
cision is then made in the animal s
ear and the proper amount of virus
injected into one of the veias
through a rubber tube. An injection
of about one quart is used for an ami
NAL weighing 200 lbs. If the hog
survives this infusion of diseased
blood it is killed at the end of two
or three weeks and it's blood is
drawn off and used for serum.
