NEW CROP Of SWEET CLOVER
No Fear Of Difficulty In EradIeatine
~ Farmers Have Trouble In Cut
ting Second Crop.

Some farmers hesitate to plant sweet
clover on their farms for fear they will
have difficulty in eradicating 1t when
the fields are planted to other crops.
The results obtained annually by hun
dreds Of farmers are sufficient proof
that there Is no foundation for such
fear; In fact, farmers are experiencing
much difficulty in cutting the first crop
the second season 80 high that the
plants will not be killed. The new
crop Of sweet clover, unlike that OF
red clover and alfalfa, must come
from the buds left on the stubble, so
when the plants are cut below these
buds they will be killed. As sweet
clover is a biennial, the plants die as
soon as the seed crop is produced.
When the first years growth Of
sweet clover Is to be turned under for
green manure it is recommended that
the field be plowed after the plants
have made some growth the following
spring rather than In the fall Of the
year Of seeding. When the first years
growth Is plowed under the same fall
many Of the plants will not be en-
tirely covered. and these will make q
vigorous growth the following spring.
When the plowing is delayed until the
plants have made some growth the fol.
lowing spring no trouble will be ex-
perienced In eradicating them.

POTATOES LIKE HEN MANURE
Dropplnss Collected From Poultry
Houses Applied 70 Small Patch
Gave Large Returns.

Our experience with hen manure
On potatoes last summer may be Of
interest to some, says F. w. Briggs,
In Farm Poultry. We took our potato
patch, Just one-third Of an acre, and
covered 1t broadcast with a moderate
coating Of hen manure that had been
collected from the dropping boards.
This was all the dressing the piece
had. We planted our potatoes, and
the following week hoed them once
with q horse hoe. This Is all the time
or labor that was expended on the
crop. except the labor of digging and
picking. The crop from this one-third
acre was just $50 bushels Of extra
large smooth potatoes, and ten bushels
Of small ones. The potatoes were Of
such excellent quality that they
brought i've cents per bushel more
from the Boston buyer than any other
potatoes In this locality. The piece
used was Of easy access from the free
range occupied by the pullets during
the summer. These pullets assisted
materially In the crop. a. they kept
the piece well Cultivated" BY their
scratching. and kept away or ate up
all the potato bugs; We did not use
an ounce Of paris green or bordeaux
mixture.

UTILIZE ALL WASTES
Not Advisable to Make Hog Meat
Out of Raw Materials.
Grain May es Saved for Direct use
- Food for Man and for Top
ping on eesf-oairy Dy.
Products Are Valuable.

prepared BY the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
It 10 good plan to insist that SO
far as possible hog meat shall be pro-
duced mainly with food wastes as the
raw materials. Grain may thus be
saved for direct use as food for man
and for feeding or topping of beef
cattle which cannot be raised on
waste.
Wastes on farms and in the towns
make good hog feed; by-products from
canneries, bakeries, fisheries, packing
plants and the like can be utilized as
hog feed and to better economic ad-
vantage than in any other way. Dairy
wastes are particularly valuable as
hog feed and promote rapid growth
with a good money return for every
gallon fed.
The farm orchard furnishes large
quantities of windfallen or defective
fruit, which is relished by hogs, and
ls beneficial If fed In small quantities
frequently. and not all at one feed.
Garden wastes. tops Of vegetables,
culls Of all sorts, even weeds are
readily eaten, and such as may not be
eaten will be worked over, going into
the bedding and adding to the manure.
Kitchen wastes are an excellent
source OF food for hogs. but should be
kept at a minimum, because practical
ly all food prepared for mans use
should be eaten by him.
