SEEDING CLOVER WITH GRASS
Some Desirable Mixtures-AppIicatio
of Lime Should Be Given.

There are many fields which were
seeded late last fall to grass without
including clover seed. These fields
should be seeded this spring along the
latter part of March before the frost
leaves the ground entirely, with about
eight pounds of red clover, and about
three pounds of alsike to the acre.
These fields should have been lined
thoroughly before seeding, but should
there be a possibility of some not hav-
ing had needed application of lime
there should be added this spring at
least 1 IL to tons of ground lime
stone per acre. Undoubtedly as quick
returns will not be derived from this
lime as would have been had it been
applied last fall before seeding. 1t
will be better than not receiving lime
at all.
Many will undoubtedly seed their
land to grass with their oats. Those
who plan to do so ought to keep in
mind that they are working for a
good stand of grass rather than a
good crop of oats. Thus care should
be taken not to overseed with the lat
ter so that smothering or robbing the
small grass seedlings of plant food
will not take place. Therefore it is
recommended that not over 1 to 1 1-2
bushels of oats be seeded to every acre.
The following mixture of grass seed
is recommended under most condi-
tons: Fifteen to Is pounds timothy,
six pounds red top, eight pounds red
clover, and three pounds alsike. If
the land is very moist a larger per
cent of the mixture should be Of
alsike as 1t stands up under condi-
lions better than other legumes
Lime, of course, should be applied be-
fore seeding, care being taken to
know that all seed bought is pure and
strong in vitality. Therefore a germ
ination and purity test should be made
before buying the seed

DAMAGE BY CHERRY FRUIT FLY.

Cherry growers are more and more
reporting that their sour cherries,
as well as sweet ones, are badly in
tested with maggots. Maggots are the
larvae of cherry fruit flies. The eggs
are laid around June 20 or 25, and
the insects hatch in about 10 days.
The insects feed rapidly, and by July
10 many of them have become ma
ture. Infested fruit ordinarily shows
quite tendency to brown rot. The
maggots invariably work around the
pit of the cherries. The cherry fruit
fly is closely related to the apple mag
got, and many Of its stages OF life
history are identical. The fruit is not
mined, as is the case of the apple
when troubled with maggots, as lar
vac go at once to the stone and work
around it. In many cases the stones
are entirely loosened from the flesh,
and upon picking the cherry pits often
pull out OF them.

EGGS FOR MATCHING.
Much Care Should Be Used In Hand.
ling Them.

One of the factors which limits the
Matching power of eggs is the man
ner in which they are handled between
the time they are laid and are placed
in the incubators or under the hens.
Breeders should be kept in open front
houses. When eggs are saved for
Matching at this season of the year
fore they are gathered. For this rea-
SON, on cold days eggs that are to be
used for Matching should be gathered
three or four times during the day.
Although eggs have been known to
hatch after they have been slightly
frozen, the germ is undoubtedly
weakened because of this condition
and 1t does not pay to take q chance
Eggs deteriorate even more rapidly
in warm surroundings than they do
in cold. After they have been gathered
they should be placed in room where
the temperature is not higher than so
degrees and kept at that temperature
until they are placed In the incubator.

OLD SOLDIERS WILL
SLEEP ON MATTRESSES.
Gov. HoIeomb Notified That Contract
Has Been Signed With New York
Concern For $50 Mattresses.

Major John H. Thatcher of Hartford
member of the Soldiers hos
pital board of the Soldiers home at
Noroton.' reported to Governor Hol-
comb Tuesday that the executive COM
mitted had made a contract with a
New York concern to furnish 450
mattresses for the institution. 1t
will be remembered that one of the
complaints which was recently in
vestigated related to the fact that
the beds on which the inmates of
the home slept were not furnished
with mattresses.
The number contracted for will be
sufficient to furnish the institution,
so that in the future every inmate
will have a comfortable mattress to
that definite steps had been taken
to carry out the wishes of the board
that the inmates should be supplied
with mattresses.
Major Thatcher afterwards saw
Comptroller Webster and asked him
chase, for $500 of moving picture
outfit for the entertainment of the
veterans in the home. Comptroller
Webster had no objection, but said
he would prefer to have the board
of control pass on it. Subsequently
at the meeting of the board the
comptroller brought the matter be-
fore his colleagues. the governor,
treasurer and attorney general, and
it was agreed that the board had
nothing to do with it.
1t was entirely within the prov
ince of the board having charge of
the home. In expressing their opin-
ion the members spoke sympathet-
ically and said the old soldiers in
the home were entitled to some rec
reation and that there would be no
objection to the spending of $500
for a moving picture outfit.
The governor Tuesday afternoon ap-
proved bill of $1,000 for the
care of the veterans and $2,65S.27
for the care of the Spanish War veter-
ans.

LOSS FROM DAT SMUT.

The loss each year due to the pres
ence of smut spores amounts to hun
dreds of thousands of bushels of oats
The yield of those fields which are
aneoted with oat smut is far less than
those which are not. This can be
prevented largely by treating the seed
with formaldehyde. One pint of for
malfn in 80 gallons of water should
be sprinkled over the oat seed be-
fore using and blanketed for at least
two or three hours. The cost of this
operation is negligible. but the gain
from 1t will be such that good profits
can be derived from the time spent.
Many fields were seen last year in
