plowed? What crops should follow
wheat and oats?"
As a general practice. the land should
be plowed once a year unless there are
unusual climatic conditions. If there
had been practically 70 rain and the
ground was very loose, you might get
satisfactory results by only disking.
However, ii has been the mistake of
great many in TIE northwestern
territory TO think that they could
raise satisfactory crops without doing
the amount of work on the land that
they should Go. The result has been
that in many places they have worn
the land out much more rapidly than
was necessary. 1t is advisable not to
begin the practice Of only disking.
Better try blowing again
You will perhaps not need to pillow
the ground any deeper than it was
plowed last year. but ordinarily the
result will warrant your doing this
by leaving Part Of youl ground and
only disk rg it, and if yca Go we would
be very pleased to know the result.
One of the drawbacks to Canadian
farming is a lack OF system of crop
rotation. by all means plan on ro-
tation of crors, which will include
wheat, oats, and Farley, and some
leguminous crop. This may be clover,
alfalfa Canadian field peas, or some
other similar crop that will do well in

CLOVER

We have often called attention 70
the fact that every farmer should
whenever sowing grass of any kind in
clude some one of the varieties Of
clover. If you expect to use your
land for meadow purposes then one of
the larger varieties, viz. the Nam
moth Red or Common Red clover
would probably serve your purpose
best If you expect to use the land
both for pasture and for hay, the
Alsille clover win serve your purpose
best. While on the other hand, if you
expect to pasture the land. then We
would recommend combination OF
Alsike and White clover.
There are several ways in which
one can obtain stand of clover. The
first under consideration is to com
bine clover and timothy with winter
wheat, sowing them at the same time
along the last part Of September
Clover should. not be sown at this
time, however, provided you are par
ticuIarly anxious to obtain a stand.
Clover sown in the fall viii winter
kill very badly under normal eCndi-
tions and for this reason it is not adj
visable to SOW clover during the fall
of the year. With timothy it may be
sown with the wheat at the same
time, either scattering the seed in
front Of the drill OF by sowing the
seed first and drilling the wheat later,
then covering it by the use of the peg
tooth harrow. The clover may be
sown Just before it freezes up in the
winter, but we do not recommend
this practice, because of the uncer-
taintv of the weather, but prefer wait
ing until spring to SOW the clover
seed. During the latter part Of Feb
ruary or the first of March, just be-
for the spring thaws begin and when
the land is in a rough and frozen con-
dition is the best time to add the
clover seed The heaving due to
freezing and thawing viii cover the
seed sufficient under NEST cond.-
lions. How ever, if the land is sandy
this practice might not be successful
and we do not recommend it Iut on
the other hand if your soil contains
large amount of clay you could expect
success by following this me bod.
Another way of sowing timo Thy and
clover but one which requires little
more Judgment on the part Of the
farmer is to sow the wheat 4 he fall
and add the clover and timothy in the
spring after the land has thewed out
and the surface become Dr.. The
plan Is tc ec~ the Glove and timothy
combined this tlmc Dy using a peg
tooth harrow. which not only covers
the seed bat cuItivates the wheat at
the same time. The timothy will not
chow up with the first season, but you
ought to get a good crop of clover and
the timothy will come on later.
Either of the latter two methods
ought to give you fairly good returns.
II you expect to leave this field seed
ed down for any length of time it
would be a good plan to add two or
three pounds of Bluegrass seed when
sowing the timothy.
Yours very truly,

Q.-There must have been other peo-

there is only one answer and that a
reasonable one. when we accept the
Scriptural teaching. We read that
Adam had other children. both sons
and daughters, besides Cain and Abel

perfect start in Adam. and bis chill
dren were nearly perfect, no disastrous
results would occur from intermar-
rage such as would be the case today
when the race has deteriorated 10

first cousins even. is prohibited by law
in some states. We recall that Abra-
ham married his half-sister many cen

not have married his brother, and
since Adams daughters were the only
females on earth, the inevitable con-
clusion is that Cain marie his sister,

KEEPING SHREDDED FODDER

writes as follows: 81 am using a
Mccormick husker and shredder this
fall, but have no storage rooms for

is great danger of losing it if stacked
outside, and cannot afford to lose it,.
Can you advise me how TO stack it so
it will keep? | can neither bale it nor
build storage rooms this fall"
Shredded fodder may he kept either
outdoors or inside, depending on local
conditions. If you have a great deal
of wet weather during the fall and
winter. much of the shredded fodder
will spoil, as is the case with any
rough feed stacked outdoors. There
-lll be mGre waste to the shredded
fodde, than WITH the hay because of
the iact that il is finer and not
as easily handled as hay. In Ta
sections Of the corn belt the shredded
fodder is stacked outdoors. but very
seldom is this done excepting where
it is impossible to put it under cover.
We would suggest that you use some
coarse hay to top the stack. and thus
prevent some Of the loss due to wet
weather.
The only danger of cracking snred'
ded fodder or putting in the barn re-
suits from the fact that it is shredded
when very damp or wet.

got into rut and headed to the right

leaving the rut and righting itself as
was his intent, struck the right wing
of the bridge which gave way toward
