While timothy and red clover I'm.
doubleday are the best hay crops on
good soils in the northeastern quarter
OF the United States, they should by
no means be depended on to produce
maximum yields of soils. Other hay
crops are better suited and are more
dependable in some cases and under
particular soil conditions. Alsike clo-
yer, for example, is better adapted to
sour and moist soils than common red
clover, and the two mixed together and
seeded on some uplands often insures
q crop where the latter seeded alone
would fail. Redtop is the best wet
land grass and on such land a mixture
OF red-top meadow fescue, and alsike
clover usually gives good returns.
While no hay grasses can be depend
ed upon to make commercial crop on
poor land, redtop, orchard grass, and
tall Oats.grass are better than any
others. These are facts discussed in
detail In Farmers Bulletin No. ITO,

these two plants undoubtedly will con-

possess, there are a number Of other
plants which, though not so we'll
known, are more desirable for particu-
lar purposes and for certain conditions
OF soil and climate. The latter are
given special attention in the bulletin.

BEST FOWLS FOR BACK YARD
American Breeds, Such as Plymouth
Rocks, Wyandottes and orpin9
tons, Are Recommended.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of AA-iculture)
Hens of the medium-sized breeds
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds and Orpingtons--are best
suited to backyard conditions. Large
hens kept in close confinement are
likely to get too fat to lay well. Small,
nervous hens are apt to develop such
vices as egg eating and feather eating
The bad tendencies mentioned do not
prohibit the keeping of large and small
breeds in small back yards, but make
1t necessary for the KEEPER to use ex.
traordinary care to keep them in good
condition and productive. White and
light-colored varieties are not desirable
Tor small back yards, because their
plumage soils too easily.
As a rule 1t is most satisfactory to
buy hens Of local poultry keeper or
dealer In live poultry. Desirable small
flocks are frequently offered by people
who are obliged by change Of work or
OF residence to sell their poultry.
Dealers in live poultry everywhere sort
out from their general receipts the
hens that show good breeding and
Snality to sell to backyard poultry
epers. When satisfactory stock can.

papers or newspapers that carry poul-

There Is little difference Of opinion
~ to the plants to be seeded on rich
weu.drained land. Timothy is seeded
alone II the hay Is to be sold on the
market, and timothy and clover, often
mixed with redtop. where part or all
OF the hay Is utilized on the farm.
Some Of the advantages Of these plants
are that they have good seed habits,
especially timothy and redtop. Red
clover Is a deep-rooted legume, and
has a beneficial effect on succeeding
crops. q
Timothy Is considered by feeders
the best hay for horses, and clover,
or clover and Timothy mixed produce
better yields and are excellent for cat.
tie and sheep. The comparatively long
period during which these plants may
be left standing without serious de-.
terioration before cutting, together
with the fact that the time of their
maturity interferes little with the har.
vesting Of the cereals and other farm
work, have much to do with their pop.
ularity.
The most serious objection to the
-
red clover and timothy mixture Is due
to the difference in time of their ma.
turity, the former usually being ready
to- cut two weeks before the latter,
For this reason mammoth clover, a va.

of Murder to Recover
Composure

Bridgeport. Conn, May 3l.-Mrs
Ethel Hutchins Mott, on trial for the
murder of her husband, George h. Mott
on Aug. 20, last, broke down in court
to-day as Daniel o. Ferguson, partner
of the dead man in a social club, de
scribed in detail his Identification oi
Motifs body at the morgue.
"Oh don't talk of that" cried Mrs
Mott, as Ferguson said there was a
mark on Motifs forehead and that the
back of the mans head had been taken
away and the brains were gone.
Judge Malbie declared a recess until
Mrs. Mott could recover.
Ferguson testified when attorneys
for Mrs. Mott insisted that the state
establish the corps deficit in the case
before using any of Mrs. Motifs state
ments at the Wade trial against her
The fact that George Mott was the
man whose body he saw at the morgue
was established by Ferguson.
