the plants be allowed to show flower

On fertile, well-limed soils in many
sections a very rapid growth is made
in the spring, and often the plants will
not show flower buds until about five
feet high. On such soils it is essential
that the first crop be cut when the
plants are no more than 80 to 81
inches high, if hay is desired which is
not stemmy, and if a second growth is
to be expected. In cutting the first

HOW TO CUT SWEET CLOVER CROP FOR HAY

crop Of the second season it is q good
plan to use extension shoe soles ON
the mower so that high stubble may

1t is not necessary to leave more
than an ordinary stubble when cutting
the sweet clover hay crop in the fall
of the year of seeding. A stubble fQ11c

will be of some help in protecting the

full methods for handling sweet clover
hay is to allow the pants to remain in
the swath until they are well Wilted
or just before the leaves begin to cure.
The hay should then be. raked into
windrows and cooked at once. The

No instances of spontaneous combus-
ton in sweet clover hay have been
noted, says the writer of the bulletin,
but this may be due to the fact that
comparatively little sweet clover hay is
stored in barns. The same precautions
in this regard should be taken with
sweet clover hay as with red clover or
alfalfa.

TRAP CHINCH BUGS
BY FLOWING FURR0W
Insects Find 1t Easier to Crawl
Along Bottom Than Climb
Sides-AIso Dig Holes.
| F>rom the United States Department Of


(From the United States Department Of
Agricultural
The time to strike at chinch bugs is
before they begin their migrations
from fields of wheat, rye, or barley,
about harvest time, into the corn. Be
on guard for them. Their presence in
these crops often is hard to detect.
because the damage they do in such
fields is obscure or of no apparent i'm
portance. 1t is important that the
bugs be discovered before they begin
to crawl toward the cornfelds, ento-
mOlogists in the United States depart
ment of agriculture say, for the corn
then can be protected and the migrat-
ing insects trapped in the following
way:
Plow deep furrow along the edge
of the field, running the land side of
the pillow toward the field to be pro-
tected. In dry weather the sides of
the furrow can be made so smooth and
so steep that the bugs will find it
easier to crawl along the bottom than
to climb up the sides. Circular holes
from 80 to 40 feet apart, made with a
pOst-hole digger, may then be dug in
the bottom of the trench. Into these
holes the bugs will fall in large num-
bers, where they may be killed easily
by sprinkling kerosene oil over them.
A log dragged back and forth along
the furrow is useful in keeping the
bottom and sides in good condition
during dry weather.
Spraying for chinch bugs has not
proved successful, except on q small
scale and when conducted by an eX-
pert, the difficulty being that the sub
stances which kill the bugs are al
most sure to kill the corn also. The
thing to do is to discover the bugs
before they reach the corn and keep
them out of it by the methods de-
scribed above.
Additional information regarding the
chinch bug is contained in Farmers
Bulletin G5ii, which can be secured free
from the department: Of agriculture.

PREPARED. GRAIN is
SUPERIOR FOR STOCK
Horses, Especially, Relish Ground
Feed and Grinding Increases
Its DigestibiIity.

The farmer who feeds grain finds
that grinding is one of the practical
ways to get the greatest feeding value.
In man, his intelligence tells him to
chew his food and the more he chews
it the more benefit he derives from it.
Animals have no such intelligence.
thus their food must be prepared for
them. This can be done by grinding
and the grains are broken up so that
the digestive fluids are given a better
chance to do their work. A saving of
about - per cent can be made by
grinding oats, barley, rye, wheat and
peas. 1t pays always to grind the
small grains and the benefits derived
seem to be well established.
Horses, especially, relish ground
grain and crushing the grain for them
increases it's digestibility. When a
horse becomes old and its teeth get
bad, nothing will keep it in any bet
ter condition than ground grain. Cat
tie fed on ground grains gain more
in a shorter time than those fed on
unground grains. Cattle fed corn
meal make large gains and the use of
meal especially a few weeks before
selling viii prove very economical.
Hogs will fatten quickly on ground
corn, but the Oil in the meal when
ground too long, becomes rancid, so
we see the necessity of having the
feed as fresh as possible. 1t is a
waste of money to buy ground feed
when the good, clean grains can be
ground much cheaper at home.
A good feed grinder fol grinding
ear corn, shelled corn and all kinds of
small grains soon pays for itself in
the quality of the ground feed. Mill
screenings, elevator waste, oat hulls
and ground corncobs do not contain
much nutritive value since the grind
ing of the feed alone does not i'm
prove the quality. Feed that is not
fattening or feed that stock will not
eat is OF no value, but good, clean,
| ground grain pays and is recommend
ed as great benefit to stock.

Cutting the first crop of the second
season of sweet clover too close to the
ground kills the stand on a large pro-
portion of the fields. To prevent the
loss of stands, farmers should examine
the fields carefully before moving to
determine the height at which the
plants should be cut. At least one
healthy bud or young branch should
be left on each stub. In fact, the
plants should be cut several inches
above the young shoots or buds, as the
stubble may die back from one to
three inches if they are cut during
damp or rainy weather.
Trooper Height to Cut.
Because Of the difference in the
growth that sweet clover makes on
different types of soil and because of
l.,o difference in thickness of stands in
different fields, it is impossible, the
specialist says, to state definitely the
proper height to cut the first crop the
second season when second crop is
expected. When the field contains q
good stand and when the plans have
made no more than a 3O-inch growth,
a five to six-inch stubble usually will
be sufficient to insure a second crop.
When fields contain very heavy stands
-15 to 25 plants to the square foot-it
may be necessary to leave an eight
inch stubble. When the plants have
been permitted to make a 36 to 4O-inch
growth, q stubble ten to twelve inches
