Hay In Shock.

The growth produced the first sea-
son by sweet clover is similar In
quality to alfalfa. 1t may be pastured
from the middle Of the season to the
close, but should not be pastured so
close as to injure the plants. The
growth the second season is much
coarser and IL used for hay should be

inches. A high stubble should be left

vent the loss Of leaves and too rapid
