CLOVER FOR SEED
A Nd FOR Fl ID

r. w. Abbey, who lives three miles
northeast of Bruce, was in Ladysmith
Monday with a load of alsike clover.
Mr.. Abbey threShed 101 bushels of this
clover this season and although the
price is low for the seed he has a nice
profit in it and has the baystraW left
in fine shape and is feeding it out to his
stock He grew this clover on %
acres of land. so it yielded. four
bushels to the acre.
Mr. Abbey is an old-timer in his
neighborh00d having located there 20
years ago. He owns so acres and has
80 acres cleared and 80 acres into
seeded pasture. He paid $3.50 per
acre for one forty and So for the other,
which was the going price 20 years ago
for the best land here.
Twenty years more and our clover
land will be selling for more than
corn, wheat, or cotton land, as it will
produce more dollars to fhe acre net
profit than the other crops. Glover and
the dairy cow is the greatest cOmbin-
alton in the world to raise the fertil-
ity and cash value of land.

BIG TEAM GREAT
HELP TO FARMER

The best power for the ordinary
RuSk county farmer is a big team of
mares that raise a pair of colts every
year. These colts soon grow up and
when one has plenty of straw and hay
for winter feed, with little grain twice
each day, good economical growth can
be made on the colts and before you
realize it you have another big, fine
team ready and willing to go to work
AS the country develops, we expect
to see more pure bred stations in the
county, and farmers who can afford it
should get a pure-bred team of mares,
or at least one mare and raise pure
bred draft colts for farm use and to
sell. 1t is seldom that team of good
pure-bred mares, fail to pay for them
selves i'll a few years from colts sold,
and have a few colts growing up be-
sides
We know of pure-bred mares raising
colts that sold for several thousand
dollars i'll Il few years, and there were
several of the best left in the hands
OF the farmer who owned her
Pure-bred stock Of any breed of ami
mails are profitable for any farmer
that is fixed to keep them and buys
good individuals at reasonable prices
