New Clover Very Popular.

Distributing of over 47.OCn samples
Of the new annual white sweet clover
seed to Iowa and other farmers has
made the clover we'll known through
out the country.
1t has made remarkable growtEs,
according to the farm crops section
of the Iowa agricultural experiment
station and records of growth OF
ten feet have been received. Many
Others have reported height of eight
and nine feet.
Samples of the seed were sent out
in the spring to any farmer who would
try it out and report the work to the
department. This policy will be fol
lowed again this next season. says
II. ID. Hughes. discovercr Of the clover
and more seed will he available than
before.
The clover will reproduce seed rap
idly and any one wanting to get a
supply of his own can do so III te"
seasons.
This new annual white clover is de-
sirable as feed. produces fine green
manure. is ideal for bees, and besides
places desirable elements in the SOL.
All that is necessary to get seed sam
pies is to send a self addressed en-
velope with n stamp on it along with
the request.

Brighten up Old Furniture.

During the long winter months when
its too cold 70 be outside repairing,
it's n good plan to fix up indoors.
According to the home economics
department of Iowa State college old
furniture can be repainted, repaired
and be made of better quality than
much furniture now offered on the
market.
New varnish can be applied to the
table or chairs and the appearance
of the room changed greatly. Where
old chairs are dirty, scratched ard
yet have good wood in them, they can
be reprinted with enamel paints.
Often chairs with broken parts arc
sent to the attic. yet if they were
given little attention in the work
shop they would be good for long
time p..,.
New canes for chair seats can be
secured and new upholstery is also
available and with a few odd hours
many pieces of furniture can be put
to use once more.

Dull Ployvs Pull Easy.

Tests with plows on stubble fields
have shown the agricultural engineer
ing department of Iowa State college
that most. of the draft is needed tc
turn the soil while relatively little is
used in cutting the ground.
1t has been commonly thought that
about 20 per cent of the draft could
be eliminated by using sharp plows'
With this idea in mind sharp edges
have been supplied. However, in tests
with dull cutters very little differenc"
was found. With sod blowing these
figures will not hold as more material
is present and is of tougher quality.
Figures on the differences in the
shapes of the mold boards did not
show any kind better on common ficEl
work than the others.
1t is estimated from these tests
that about onc-t third of the draft is
required to cut while two-thirds Is
used for turning the soil.
Further tests with plows are being
carried on by 4. V. Collins of the
farm machinery department OF the
college.

Use Electric Fan in Winter.

On the electrically equipped farm
the electric fan III winter Is generally
in the way since the owner needs Il
place to put it and cannot find suit
able one. $50 ";'T at.;~
The engineering department OF
Iowa State college suggests that the
fan he kept either in the living rooms
and used to distribute warm air. or
else taken to the basement and used
to force d draft into the furnace.
1t can also be used to spread il
deodOrizer In home where there has
been sickness and especially in scat
tering disinfectant fumes.
II the fan is stored in the attic it
is a good plan to cover it with a cloth
or sack so that dust will not get into
the motor. See that all parts likely
to corrodc are properly oiled and be
careful not to pile other materials Oh
it. Bending the blades of the fan Will
ruin it, even though they are only
bent slightly.

Put Manure on Wheat.

Placing top dressing of manure
on the winter wheat will keep the
wheat from winter killing and will
also be of value to the soil and give
a better return in grain, say farm
crop experts at Iowa State college.
Apply between three and six tons
to the acre, according to needs of the
soil, and spread with manure
spreader if possible. This insures an
even distribution and does not
smother spots of the wheat as does
the old method of applying it, where
too much gets on one spot.
Also watch the winter wheat that
it is not pastured too close. Pastur-
ing wheat in the late fall is all RICH;
If good growth has resulted but
damage can be done if trimmed too
close.

grains the farmer must turn to feed
ing if he is going to get anywhere
near the cost of production. There Is
also a scarcity on the market of west
ern cattle of the feeder type. due to
the lesscned demand. but the supply
will increase if farmers will begin
buying feeders.
Many farmers are expressing I'M
due concern over the situation, but Il
pessimistic period always follows y
door season and this is shown in the
cattle business.
There should be no reason for an
xiety at this time over the feeder
question since cattle purchased now
will come ont all right.
MANY good feeders are going cheap
on the market and due to the depress-
ed condition of the market. meat is
bound to be higher in the spring, since
fewer farmers are feeding. Feeding is
the sureSt way to get the greatest
margin out of the grain crop

Corn Best Lamb Fattener.

Tests conducted by John NJ. Evvard
of the Iowa agricultural experiment
station show that fall lambs will do
better on shelled corn than upon oats,
barley or mixtures Of the two with
corn.
\ Lambs fed in the fall gained ii
pounds per day on corn alone ana
produced the most gain in short
period at the least cost on corn as
compared with other feed.
Lambs fed other grains, such rs
oats or barley. did not do so well.
Oats proved to be the poorest reed
when fed alone but the best when fed
with corn.
1T is clear that every Iowa farmer
who has lambs to feed can get more
fat on his stock at cheaper cost by
using corn than any other feed for
the same money, says Mr.. Evvard.
Corn is the best all around feed for
Iowa aud will give the best results
year in and year out"
