TIME TO sow SWEET CLOVER
Best Plan Is to Plant 1t in Winter or
Spring With Nurse Crop or Dur
ing Midsummer.

1t Is not generally recommended
that sweet clover be sown IN corn in
the fall. A better way is to SOW it
either in the winter or spring with a
nurse crop or during midsummer on a
firm seed bed free of other crops. BY
having a compact seed bed and giving
heavy application of seed, it is
possible that good stand can be
secured in standing corn but much
depends upon the weather. An added
advantage results from cutting the
corn off for silage, since this gives
the small plants more sunlight. There
is great risk, however, in sowing any
kind of seed In corn after the last cul-
tivatiOn because of the usual dry
weather period that follows. Some
farmers make success of this sort of
seeding but ordinarily it is a better
policy to seed in another way if that is
possible.

CLIENT SPILLED THE BEANS"
Altogether Too Truthful in Answering
Question Put to Him by His
Own Attorney.

"Were I giving advice to a young

day, II would advise him to be careful
about placing his client on the stand.
1t is at least as well to know what
he Is likely to answer to his attorneys
leading questions. Some time ago."
continued the lawyer, "a case was tried
in which the plaintiffs attorney GER
tatnly spilled the BEANS though ac-
tually it was a cargo of bread, rolls
and cake that was upset. A bakers
wagon had been hit by a train in
spite of the Stop, Look, Listen sign,
and the driver sued. On the stand
he was asked how he conducted him
self when he came to the crossing,
and he replied: I just trotted gently
across, looking the other way and
thinking about nothing in particular
The attorney threw up the case on
the spot, but it was really lack Of
foresight on his part" continued the
narrator.

also make it possible to utilize crops
grown primarily in rotation for re-
storing the fertility of wOrn-Out lands.
The comparative value of a number
of different silage crops for steer feed
ing was recently worked out by the
department in cooperation with the
Louisiana experiment station. In one
instance similar lots of cattle were
fed a ration of cOttonseed meal and
blackstrap mOlasses in combination
with corn silage, corn and Biloxi soy
bean silage, sorghum silage, sorghum
and Biloxi soy-bean silage.
The best gain was made by the
steers fed the straight corn siIage but
1t was shown that the capacity of a
farm for fattening or wintering cattle
may be greatly increased by the use
of heavy-yielding silage crops such as
sorghum and Japanese cane. Imma-
ture Biloxi soy beans mixed with corn
or sorghum were not so satisfactory,
but with latematuring crops like Japa-
neSe cane these SOys gave very good
results. Sorghum silage and Japanese
cane and Biloxi soy-hean slage are
practically equal in feeding value for
steers when supplemented by cotton
seed meal and mOlasses.

PLAN TO PREVENT MOULTlNG
Natural for Very Early Hatched Pull
let's to Go Through Partial
Moult in Fall.

Every fall we hear a number of re-
ports Of pullet-egg production being
cut down by fall mOulting. This is
perhaps only natural when we consd-
er that every one is working toward
early maturity and production by
means of better breeding early hatch
ing and heavy feeding. 1t is natural
for very early Matched pullets to stop
laying and go through partial moult
before cold weather. In addition to
this natural tendency, the mOult may
be fastened by any sudden change of
feed, care or environment. The fol-
lowing simple rules, if followed, will
be helpful to prevent this fall moult:
/. Avoid Matching out of season;
March, April and May are best, the
exact time depending on the breed
2. Provide free range during the en-
tire season.
3. Avoid rations containing an eX-
cess of protein.
4. DO not attempt to hold pullets
back, let them mature normally.
5. Have the pullets in their winter
quarters before production starts.
6. Avoid any sudden change, in feed,
care or management after production

POST TREATMENT
IS MONEY Saver
Experiments at Iowa College
With Water Gas Tar in Con-
junction With Creosote.
BY-PRODUCT OF GAS PLANTS
Creosoting Will Lengthen Life of
Posts of Any Kind of Wood-Is
Especially Valuable With Cot
tonWood or Willow.

A new economy in the preservative
treatment of fence posts is in sight, if
experiments with the use of water gas
tar in conjunction with creOsOte,
which are being conducted by forest
ers of the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station, justify the belief that
the tar can be utilized.
Water gas tar, by-prOduct of arti-
fetal gas plants, is much cheaper than
creoSote. The purpose of the expert
ments is to determine whether or not
the tar can be successfully used in a
mixture with the creosote and in what
proportions to give the best results.
The economic value of the preserva-
tive treatment of posts has been dem
onstrated in many cases, says G. b.
Macdonald, head of the forestry de-
partment at the college. CreOsOting
will lengthen the life of posts of any
kind of wood, but it is especially valu-
able with soft woods.
Tests have shown that such soft
woods as willow and cottonwood
which last only three or four years if
untreated, will serve as posts for from
20 to % years when treated. This
fact makes possible the utilization by
the farmer of woods of this kind on
the farm which would otherwise be
practically useless.
1t is practicable, Mr.. Macdonald
points out, for a farmer to set out a
small plantation of quick-growing
trees, such as the cottonwood, and in
five or six years have the start Of a
permanent supply of posts. 1t is eSti-
mated that a post per acre is needed
every year. A considerable saving can
be made by the farmer who grows
and treats his own posts.
Two methods of creosOting posts are
recommended by Mr.. Macdonald, one
in which one tank is used and another
which requires two tanks. In the first
method posts are put into the creOsOte
tank with the creoSOte at high tenn
perature, and are allowed to cool in
the same tank. When two tanks are
used the posts are transferred, after
their bath in the hot creOsote, to the
other tank, which contains cold Creo-
SOte.
On medium-siZed farms, where 100
or more posts are needed annually, a
satisfactory treating tank, made of
galvanized iron, about SO inches in di-
ameter and As inches high, can be pur
chased for about $40.
This tank is mounted about a foot
from the ground on brick fOunda.

RECIPE FOR FLY REPELLENT
Pests by Application of Coal
Tar Mixture.

Cattle can be greatly relieved from
flies by spraying in the morning be-
fore going to pasture with some fly
spray. For this the following home
made spray is efficient and cheap:
Four and one-half quarts coal-tar dip
four and one-half quarts fish oil. three
quarts coal oil, three quarts whale OIL
one and One-half quarts oil of tar,
three pounds laundry soap.
Dissolve the laundry soap in water
and mix the other ingredients thor
oughly and bring the whole up to 30
gallons. This spray can be applied
with an ordinary spray pump and will
give relief from flies the greater part
of the day.
Some provision for shade wfi offer
relief to a certain extent from heat.

PUTTING MOTHER IN WRONG
Small Boy Quick to Observe Point
That Might Enable Him to Es-
cape Punishment.

1t was cherry time and Richard in
sisted on running out in the orchard
and eating the half-ripe cherries. His
mother told him how much better it
would be for every one if he only left
the cherries until they were ripe, so
they could be enjoyed. She also
warned him she would punish him If
he went to the orchard again.
Soon she saw him pulling off the
green cherries and she went out and
cut a tiny switch from the tree. Rich
ard saw her coming toward him,
switch in hand, and the little lad said
to her earnestly:
Mother, if you had only left that
switch on the tree just think what a
fine big limb it would have been some

given top as well as butt treat
ment, they can be inverted in the tank.
This should be done in the case of soft
woods.
In the single tank treatment the
creOSote Is heated to temperature of
200 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Enough
creosote is put into the tank to sub
merge the lower three or three and
One-half feet of the posts. The tenn
perature is maintained at about 220
degrees for from two to six hours, de.
pending upon the kind of wood being
treated. The harder the wood the
longer it should be immersed. The
fire is allowed to die down and the
posts are left in the cold creosote for
from four to fourteen hours.
D. If two tanks are used the work can
be speeded up, since the cold bath is
applied in the second tank. The ere.
osote should penetrate the posts to a
depth Of from One-quarter to one inch
Tests should be made to see that this
penetration Is secured
