VALUE ISADDED

Sweet Clover Supplies Nitrogen to

Better Stand.

prepared by the United States Depart

Perhaps there is no use for sweet
clover that gives such promise and
that seems of such wide application
as its combination with blue grass
for pasture.
Both crops grow together well, even
when there is perfect stand of each.
The sweet clover adds nitrogen to the
soil, and where the stand of blue grass
is poor this helps 1t to thicken and
produce a much better stand than
would be possible without sweet
clover. Furthermore, the clover adds
greatly to the total amount of pas
turage produced and gives a longer
pasture season. 1t comes on in the
spring two or three weeks earlier than
most other grasses and the live stock
can be turned out to pasture just that
much earlier. In some instances this
combination has more than doubled
the carrying capacity Of an acre of
blue grass alone. A first-class pas
ture of this kind will easily carry two
1,000-pound steers on an acre in the
spring and early summer, and as a
usual thing, will carry more than one
such steer during the remainder of the
pasture season.
May Harvest Seed.
IF not pastured too heavily the sweet
clover will produce seed enough
reseed the pasture, and often crop
of from three to eight bushels of seed
an acre can be harvested, in addition
to the pasturage produced throughout
the season. The experience of few
men is that when such combination
| pasture is handled in this way it will
maintain itself from year to year, and
1t Is unnecessary to sow any great
amount of seed to keep up the sweet
clover in combination with blue
grass.
In establishing combination sweet
clover and bluegrass pasture the
problem of getting a stand, as COM
pared with the growth of sweet clover
In rotation, is fundamentally different.
In some instances the pasture must be

The following disinfectant white
wash may be used to put the poultry
house and fixtures in a sanitary con-
dition: Five quarts cream Of lime,
one quart kerosene, one pint coal tar
disinfectant and equal parts of water.
This is applied with force pump If
possible, as this method will drive the
material into every part of the inte-

MUCH LIKE OLD-WORLD CITY
Capital Of State Of Washington Has

Its Builders.

Those who had the naming of noun
tains and cities of the Northwest chose
with a lavish hand from the names
Of gods and goddesses Of mythology,
and Indian tribes. The Olympic noun
tains might well have been those from
which love hurled his thunder. And
the sylvan town Of Olympia. the capt.
tai of the state Of Washington, seems
more fitting for the temples Of Greece
than for those of lawmaking of an
American state.
With the exception, possibly, Of An
napolis, Maryland, no state in the
Union has chosen such an old-world-
appearing hamlet for its capital, q
town almost segregated from the out
side world. At the end Of wonder

MAINTAIN A FARM WooDLoT
Proven by Experience That 10 Per

No farm acre should lie idle. All
land may be made to respond with that
product which it is most capable of
sustaining. In the case of the nom

portion of it may be maintained in a

that 10 per cent Of the farm area

: Detection by British army investi-

the lives Of many an officer or man
Of the British armies during the period
when the Germans were retreating
from France.
II am convinced" says one officer,
that We nipped many Of the Huns

q little factory where he made his
'booby traps.' When we occupied 1t
we learned much from the partly conl-

When the weight Of the foot was re-
moved the spring slipped into place
and exploded the detonator, and the
damage was done.
These spring detonators were the
Germans speciality. They consisted Of
a tube containing little spring with
q hook at one end. Attached to the
hook was string or wire connecting
with the explosive charge. Any ar

be distended and then suddenly con-
tractsd served to Jerk the string. and
the charge was exploded.

II dug a little trench around the

plowed, lined, and seeded anew. On
old bluegrass pastures of long stand
ing, which still have fairly good lime
supply, stand of sweet clover often
can be secured simply by sowing the
seed late in March or early in April
and allowing live stock to trample
the seed into the ground. In other
instances 1t is more convenient to
start such pasture on part of a
rotation area, a seeding of sweet clover
and timothy being made in oats after
the necessary application of lime, the
blue grass being allowed to come in
Of its own accord.
Experiments Often Necessary.
To determine the method that will
succeed In getting a stand of sweet
clover and bluegrass for pasture, it
will generally require some expert
menting, as local conditions vary
greatly. In some instances 1t has been
found successful to SOW sweet clover
with timothy, the blue grass being al
lowed to come In, so that in few
years there is a perfect stand of sweet
clover and blue grass. Pastures of
this kind will make luxuriant growth
annually, and if care is exercised TO
permit part Of the sweet clover to
produce seed each year, no other at
tention Is necessary.
