Crimson clover. a liiillctin h.is two i i .111 il be ii-cd for p.iMurc and 1) i before .1115 other jjrcen j'rrmlli is avail.ihle, the land heinj; tlii.ii sown i i a crop 'Ihf clover itself can be toward the end of the summer on I where such late crops as corn or innutne'i ire ilill cultiv ilion. It'll therefore, doe' not inlcrefcre i i i pmdiiLii Us, htllu but the l.ibnr.md bced i obtain the full value of crimson clover a fertiliser, the entire jjreen crop should be plowed under, thus idd- nijj to the soil a i i of nitrogen and or dccijerl vcgenhlc mailer. 1 he poorer tlic Intid the greater is the benefit ih.u the succeeding crop derives Ironi Oil's process. A of 30 liiNicN of rorn per arre nny ordinanlv be incre.i3t.d crimson clover to 45, but on nclmr land an increase of more tli.in 10 bu-licls is uncoinmon.

A convenient method of calculation I- lo consider i full crop of crimson clover, i i i i roots and tops about lo tons an acre, as the equivalent of a dist i i of 8 tons of fresh barnjard nnnure to an acre. In this i the is enriched earh year i interfering in any way with Ihe regular money crops, such as corn, cotton, or tomatoe- It is however by no means necessary to sacrifice the entire crop of crimson clover to fertilising purposes. Excellent results can be obtained by ploughing under merely the roots and stubble. This it is estimated returns lo Ihe soil 40 per cent as much nitrogen as the green crop'. When tiiis 13 done Oie clover itself can be used either for pasture, before ordinary grass is sufficiently far advanced to be available, or for liny which can be gathered in time to leave the lam! free for another crop.

Crimson clover intended for hay must, however, be cut at the right moment, the most advanced heads are beginning to show faded flowers at their base. At this stage the plants contain the maximum amount of protein and dry matter, while the leaves are still present and the stems comparatively green. If the harvest is put off, the short hairs on the and flower heads become dry and stilt In this stage there is danger that they may form hard balls in the intestinal tracts of horses and nudes 10 which the hay is fed. These Uair balls, solid, compact felt-like structures, nearly always death. Early cutting, however, and judicious mixing with other hay will obviate this difficulty lo a great eMcnt.

and, under any circumstances, cattle are rarely affected. Uy dairymen, crimson clover hay is considered a roughage feed fully equal if not superior to either red or alsiLe clover. for early pasturing crimson clover is even satisfactory, its chicl drawback being the limited period in which it can be utilized for this purpose. This period, however, is ample to enable the ordinary grass pastures to attain a growth which will greatly mere ise their carrying capacity later in the season. After the catllc arc removed, the uneaten plants and the manure left behind arc ploughed under, the manure of course, forming a vauablc addition to the fertili- approved, and ordered effect of the clover.

As pasture, hay or fertilizer, therefore, crimson clover offers itself to fanners at the tune when the ordinary summer- grown crops are not available. Incidentally, it should be said, this clover is valuable for poultry. A tubful of hand-cropped leaves thrown into the poultry yard will provide the chickens with the best possible green food at a season when eggs are ordinarily high and everything that promotes laying is most welcome. Small patches of crimson clover are, in fact, grown by poultry raisers for this purpose alone. Write to the Agricultural Department for the bulletin on "Crimson Clover." A a a a a Crop.

Mr. Charles A. Councilman writes in the llahimore Sun The farmers of our i i li we at lea't found a a a i is nature's clioirest gift to man. Ihe i a i and feeding of alfalfa in irks the highest development of our modern agriculture. Alfalfa is the chief of ihc leguminous plants and the greatest of them as a soil improver.

It Ins liken five j-ears to induce the farmer- of our State to cultivate and feed It is spreading i rapid strides The credit of this accomph-h- ment is due to Dr. II. J. of the a a Agricultural College, who, with the limited resources at his command, has in season and out pushed the cultivalion among the farmers of our Stile, and if he has- accomplished nothing else, it is worth all the appiopri.ition that the State has ever given the college. I farmers of our State have found ificr feeding their horses alfalf.i it builds up their muscles and bones and gives their riders smews of iron.

Alfalfa softens the disposition of the colt and hardens his bone and muscle. It makes the steers bawl for the feed rack and finishes them at a cost of five cents a pound. It causes the contented cow to give pail- fulls of creamery milk, it compels the calves to make gains of two pounds a day. It enables the farmer to produce pork at three cents a pound. Alfalfa makes the turkey gobble and the hens cackle.

It induces the pigs to squeal and grunt with satisfaction. It gives the tame duck the flavor of the canvasback that ferds on the wild celery. It is the bn-is of all animal industry. It brings gold into the farmer's purse by processes more mysterious than the -alchemy of old. Alfalfa can now stand alone, and many farmer readers of tbe The Sun would like to see the seed and the hay quoted in your commercial page."

Lime, which is the basis of whitewash, makes a very sanitary coating, and is probably to be preferred for cellars and the interior of stables and other outbuildings. following directions for making whitewash are taken from "While Paints and painting Materials," by W. G. Scott Ordinary whitewash: This is made by slaking about 10 pounds of quicklime wilh 2 gallons ol water.

The lime is placed in a pail and the water poured over it, after which the pail is covered with an old piece of carpet or cloth and allowed to stand for about an hour. With an insufficient amount of water, the lime is "scorched" and not all converted into hydrate; on the other hand, too much water retards the slaking by lowering the heat "Scorched" lime is generally lumpy and transparent, hence the use of the proper amount of water for slaking and an after addition of water to bring it to a brush consistency. Factory whitewash. (Interiors:) For walls, ceilings, posts, etc. (1) Sixty-two pounds (I bushel) quicklime, slake with 15 gallons water.

Keep barrel covered until steam ceases to rise. Stir occasionally to' prevent scorching. (2) Two and one-half pounds rye flour, beat up in gallon of cold water, then add 2 gallons of water. (3) Two and one-half pounds common rock salt, in 2j gallons of hot ater. An old receipt for whitewash, issued by the Lighthouse Board of the Treasury Department, said to be very good lor outdoor exposure, is as follows: Slake half a bushel of unslaked lime with boiling water, keeping it covered during the process.

Strain it and add a peck of salt, dissolved in warm water; three pounds of ground rice put in boiling water and boiled to a thin paste; half a pound of powdered Spanish whiting and a pound of clear glue, dissolved in warm water; mix these well together and let the mixture stand for several days. a The Advertisement of Valua.
