South bur clover, yetch and crimson
clover are used, as well as velvet beans
and COW peas.
Wherever clean cultivation Is prac-
ticed the soil Is likely to be In shape
for broadcasting the seed. II conven-
lent, 1t can be narrowed In. In or
chards light narrowing or disking
may be employed If the ground Is free
from sod. Care must. of course, be
taken not to injure the roots. The
crop is usually plowed under in the
spring. but this is not always done
with orchards. Data collected In all
parts Of the United States shows a
general benefit from this form Of ag-
riculture.
Cover crops are of especial value to
small gardeners and truckers, who
often find 1t both difficult and expen-
sive to obtain stable manure. They
add the humus which is so necessary
to maintain good physical condition
Of the soil. Wherever there Is va
cant place in the garden few seeds
Of rye, vetch, clover, etc., may be
sown and raked In. II a suitable rota-
tion of crops is followed, all parts Of
the garden may be covered with a
green manure crop once every two or
three years.

IN HER FATHERS FOOTSTEPS
Professor Doubtless Had Often Car
ried Out an Idea, and Small
Daughter Copied Him.

Barbara was professors daughter,
four years Of age.
One day Barbara disappeared and
after vainly searching for her all over
the neighborhood, her father got into
his motorcar and began search of the
streets. About u half an hour later he
found her walking as fast as she could

tiny basket In her hand.
"Where have you been, Barbara,
and for goodness sake where are you

well, 4 had On idea and I thought
I'd carry 1t out" replied Barbara with
an impish grin.-Indianapolis News. !

SCATTER MANURE ON FIELDS
Good Plan to Permit Sun to XIII
Maggot Stage of Flies-Stack
Straw In Neat Piles.

Keep barnyard manure.- especially
If containing straw, cleaned up and
scattered on the fields to permit the
sun and drying to kill the maggot
stage of the flies. Stack the straw !;
don't blow 1t out in an irregular loose
pile. Build vertical sides. Keep mid
die well filed and tramp well. Clean
up around base of stacks and scatter
remnants. If 1t is certain that the
straw will not be used for feed, spread
1t at once, to be plowed under.

which, are desirable qualities for table
fowl in this country. In size they are
intermediate between the smaller egg
breeds, such as the Leghorns, and the
larger meat breeds. such as the Brah-
mas. In temperament they ere also
intermediate, being less active than
the egg breeds. but more SO than the
meat breeds. They are fairly good
foragers. The American-class birds
mature earlier than the meat breeds,
but not so quickly as the egg breeds.
They are settlers and make good
mothers.

also serve to protect the roots from
severe winter weather. Outside of
the nitrogen-forming plants, rye Is
largely used as a cover crop sown In
the fall and plowed under in the
spring to add organic matter to the
soil. The cover-crop problem varies
largely with locality but for over
winter purposes there Is one rule
which IS universal. and that Is to get
the crop In the ground In time to Sc
cure good growth before frost.
The use Of clover or some other
legume to enrich the soil is generally
considered a cardinal agricultural
practice In the humid sections of the
United States. 1t antedates by three
quarters of a century the monumental
discovery that legumes store up MI
trogen from the air. The belief that
clover was a valuable improver rested
first on experience, and later expert
ence was substantiated by the dis
covery of the relation between the
legumes and the nodule bacteria.
Other legumes, as the COW pea, the
Japan clover and bur clover In the
South and crimson clover on the At
lantic coast. have come Into use In the
territory not well adapted to red clio
yer. The various vetches are held in
widespread favor, different varieties
being employed according to climate
and crop conditions.
The time Of planting and the best
crop to use is matter which local
conditions must dictate. Along the
north Atlantic coast 1t is considered
best to get these crops In from the
first to the middle Of August, while
In the extreme South the planting may
be deferred to early October. In the
extreme North hairy yetch is favored
as legume, cover or green manure
crop, but rye Is also largely planted.
From middle Pennsylvania to the
north Alabama line crimson clover
gives good results. In the extreme

Need for SeIf-Confidence.

The sovereign badge Of men Of
power is courage and sublime self
confidence.
The trouble with most of us is that
we do not demand half enough of our
selves. Our resolutions are weak, OF
milk-and-water, w'shy-washy constit-
uency. There is not enough vigor,
not enough iron In them. There is
not enough lime in our backbone, not
enough vim in our blood, not enough
hone. enthusiasm and expectancy In
our mental outlook.
Did YOU ever think that the reason
why YOU do not get on faster Is be-
cause you do not vigorously resolve to
do SO?
No matter how the present may seem
70 contradict its possibility, we should
look for brightness, for good cheer,
for the success of our plans. The
only way to attain thing is to work
for it. to look forward to it. to struggle
toward It with all the wisdom and
energy we can muster.-Orison SWEET
