But why is if that certain plants need
large amounts OF lime and that others do
not, and how do potash and phosphoric
acid act upon this complex Of lhe soil ?
We know that those things all have TO

the plants we wish TO foster are TO get
what they want from the soil.
When you roll a particle Of soil between
our thumb and forefinger you feel the
gnt Of thousands OF irregular rock frsg-
ments. You are feeling the crumbled
crust OF an earth that is so old thai many
of the atoms composing the molecules Of
those fragments have been once, perhaps
many times, through the bodies Of some
living creatures at the bottom of an an
cient sea floor.
The most valuable element in those
rocky fragments, phosphorus, came to
be there through the fact that certain sea
animals and plants stored it up in their
external skeletons eons of time ago.
There is evidence that even some of the
hardest OF fragments that come from the
disintegration OF the Oldest rocks OF all
the earth's crust are the result OF bacte-

SWEET CLOVER

Mrs. Minis Hall, Of Califa, Call
fornia, writes as follows: rs sweet
clover as good for pasturing cows as
alfalfa Hcv many pounds are usual
ly sown per acre."
There are many farmers who have
good sweet clover pastures, and seem
tc be getting fair results from this
crop for that purpose. but as a general
thing, it IS considered a nexious weed
Stock will eat sweet clover when they
have become accustomed to it, but
due to a slight bitterness, it is not
usually relished as much as other
clovers. We have known of instances
where, after the stock had become
accustomed to sweet clover, they
seemed to eat it readily and do very
well on it. In comparison with alfalfa
as a feed for live stock, alfalfa is far
superior. Alfalfa must be pastured
very carefully, because the cattle are
apt to bloat from eating it, especially
in the fall Of the year or early spring.
A much more satisfactory method Is
TO cut the alfalfa and feed it as a soil
ing crop, or to cure it and feed it as
hay. Experience shows that one will
get a great deal more feed of an acre
II handled this way than if the stock
are allowed to Craze the alfalfa.
