SWEET CLOVER AS MANURE.
Gives Best Results When Turned Un.
der in Spring.

Gives Best Results When Turned I'm.
der in Spring.
Sweet Glover, one Of our very best
green manures, should be, plowed un-
der in the spring rather than this
fall, according to Professor H. D.
Hughes, head of the Farm Crops De-
partment at Iowa State College.
Ordinary fall plowing is con'iidered
superior to that done in the spring.
In most cases fall plowing is far more
desirable because OF lack OF time in
spring. It is true that manure should
be allowed time to decay. However,
green manures do not require as much
time to decompose as do barnyard
manures. Barnyard manures should
be plowed under in the fall
When plowed under for green
manure in the fall sweet clover will
furnish another crop Of clover the
following year. The voluntary growth
will be large and troublesome IL a
cultivated crop is planted. On the
other hand, if plowed under in the
spring the clover will kill out and Its
value as manure will not be less
ened.

THE WOOL SITUATION.

The following letter has just been
received from v. G. Warner regarding
the wool situation. 2
"Since my last letter part of the
mills have resumed work, up to date
they are not operating the full time.
They are buying only small quanti-
ties of WOOL
The respective market is operating
in a small way and buying on very
conservative basis. We do not expect
the mills to buy any stock before
election. They have already. made q
small reduction in the cloth for spring
clothing expecting to buy the wool
for little less than last season.
So many of the consignors have
asked me to notify the sales agents
to hold for good conservative price,
this is being done. With the London
wool sales advancing from ten per
cent to twenty per cent, we feel sure
that our woods will be in demand for
little later in the season. Here
tofore, the spectators have been hold
ing the woods until the mills were
ready to use them. Now that we are
taking the place Of the speculator
we assume his responsibility and do
our share toward exacting the price.
Canada has sold part of their
woods which were pooled, received
for:
Fine medium staple 5s to 60c.
Medium staple 81 to 55c.
Low medium staple 40 to 45c.
Low staple 30 to SEC.
Coarse "a to 25c.
We have now over 100000 members
and 80 per cent Of Iowa wool is at
the warehouse.

WINTER AND EGGS-or rather
winter and sufficient eggs to make the
feeding poultry in the cold weather
profitable that is the important
thing when planning the new poultry
house.
Your "more eggs" poultry house
should be built for permanence-that
is the most important point, because
you do not want to spend money each
year putting it into shape. 1t should
have Southern exposure and scratch

sunlight. Avoid dampness and see that
the building is well ventilated and
free from draughts.

If the pigs are to be gotten to the
market in good shape, weighing
around 225 pounds, something must
be supplied in the ration to offset the
loss Of green forage crops. Corn,
oats and tankage placed in a self
feeder will make good ration. Stops
of whole or skimmilk and wheat mid
ding make good feeds also. The
tankage or the milk will furnish pro-
tein in the ration and will keep it ball
anced. This will insure a steady gain
and keep the pigs in a healthy con-
dition.
Salt should be given, especially
where a dry. ration is furnished. Al
so it will aid if the pigs are kept in
clean dry quarters free from lice and
other parasites. Clean houses with
plenty of clean bedding and ventila-
ton will keep the pigsl gaining as fast
in winter as in the summer.

FALL PIGS NEED ATTENTION.
Overcome Cold Weather Handicap
by Better Feeding.

Fall pigs which were farrowed dur
ing August and September need ex-
ira attention when cold weather
comes on If they are to be gotten into
good shape during the winter, says
R. G. Anderson Of the animal hus-
bandry department of Iowa State Col
lege.
Raising fall pigs has become more
Of business in Iowa than before due
to the fact that the farmer cannot
allow the sows to be loafing half the
time. 1t has been found that good
brood sows can easily take care OF

dead of winter they have sunlight
without exposure. The rays of heat
radiate from the floor. The entire hog
house is warmed, and the damp, un-
healthful vapors are driven off. Sum
shine is cheaper than corn and is
just as necessary.

Sweet clover has often been object
ed to because Of its persistent growth.
Many farmers have classed this valu-
able crop as a weed. Correct cultural
methods will control the crop. Sweet

Illinois. The authorized capital stock

This plan is merly the enlargement
of the cooperative elevator idea as
applied to local markets. Plans have
been gradually prepared for gener-
al marketing and purchasing associa-
tion. The recent exetreme drop in
prices Of grain and wide fluctuations
in price has seemed to be the result
of manipulations of the markets in
stead of being due to natural or eco
nomic causes. This has brought about
extreme dissatisfaction on the part OF
the farmers.
The present feast and famine method
Of marketing grains by the grain pro-
ducers of the Middle States gives the
food gambler chance to manipulate
our markets and to take from the
actual producer his just returns.
