A large rurt t" tin- value of crimson
c!'v.t lies in tli jihility uhidi it shares
with other clovers to utilize the nitro
gen of ttit? air ami add it to tlu- soil,

I apartment of Agriculture. When en
cotsniged to do this, erirnsoir elover is

not stimulated to -oii'ribtite anything
to its own support or to the support of
other crop.
Crimson clover is a winter plant of
the true cJover group. It is also knoftn
jis scarlet clover. French clover, Italian
clover and Herman clover. It is the
"Jily annual true clover that is of more
than Incidental agricultural importance
In th eastern Unite! States. It owes
if place in the crop notation of the
Atlantic coastal plain to the fact that
It can be planted when the land is nor
occupied by ordinary summer crops.
The many ways by which this crop
may be utilized are discussed by plant
specialist of the United States De
partment of Agriculture in Farmers'
r.uiletin 114J, ' tlrowinir Crimson Clo
ver." An Early Importation.
Though it was brought from Europe
to tln country in isls, its value as a
forage plant was not recognized until
jtl.nit 1S-S0. The plant does not with
stand either extreme heat or cold, and
Is beft adapted to n soil that is not
very rich and to u climate where the
v;inters are not severe. Ordinarily It
aimnt survive the winter in latitudes
north of .southern Pennsylvania, while
In some of the southern states it is fre
quently killed by dry, hot weather In
the fall or spring.
It growth Is comparable to that of
winter wheat. Planted In the fall. It
lies more or less dormant throughout
the winter and completes its growth
In the spring. If the summers are not
too hot It can sometimes be planted In
the spring and grown as a summer
crop, but for this purpose other clovers
are usually preferred. Cora In the

winter Is a cheap and convenient meth
xl of growing a cash crop and a soil
Improving crop In the same year. The
reputation of crimson clover as a crop
Increaser Is largely based on this
simple rotation. Instances are by no
means rare where the yield of corn has
been gradually increased from ten
bushels to as high as seventy bushels
to the acre by this means.
Seeding Crop of Clover.
Crimson clover may be seeded In
practically any of the cultivated truck
crops, which receive their last cultiva
tion from eight to twelve weeks before
the first frost. It Is not wise to seed
clover in late potatoes, sweet potatoes
or other root crops, as the digging In
the fall practically destroys the clover.
Neither does it do well when sown Into
cowpeas, sorghum or watermelons, ow
ing to the heavy shade cast by those
crops. The most common cause of
failure to obtain a stand of crimson
clover is a period of hot, dry weather
occurring after planting.
The roots of crimson clover are in
oculated by the same strain of bacteria
which occurs on the roots of all true
clovers; consequently a field which
ties produced a good stand of red.
mammoth, alsike, white, hop, Carolina,
rabbit's foot or buffalo clover is usu
ally suQciently Inoculated for crimson
clover. Methods of inoculation, seed
ing, the choice of seed and the treat
ment of the stand are fully described

FOWLS REQLURE GOOD
CARE DURING SUMMER
Poor Economy to Neglect Hens
During Rush Work.
If They Cannot Be fciven Free Range
It Will Be Necessary to Furnish
Ample Supply of Green Feed
Give Some Milk.
(Prepared by tl e United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In the rush of summer work the hens
often are neglected on many farms.
This is Mor economy, because the cure
they receive will determine to a lari'e
extent the prolits to be realized.
The poiiltrymen of the Department
of Agriculture advise that hens be
given free range, if possible, during the
summer months, and if they cannot be
given fre range that as much green
feeij be furnished as they will readily
consume. .Milk is excellent during the
summer months. Iiuttermllk also may
be used, or semi-solid buttermilk if th&
regular buttermilk is not obtainable.
The department advises feeding
about equal parts of scratch grains
and of mash for the average during
iv y: &
Hens on Free Range Do Not Need as
Much Grain as Those Closely Con
fined. the year, but the pullets will not eat
the dry mash freely In the fall, so that
it is necessary to feed them about two
parts of scratch feed to one part of
mash, reducing this to about equal
parts of mash and scratch feed Febru
ary 1. and still further reducing the
scratch feed about June 1 so that the
hens will eat nearly two parts mash
to one part of scrrtch feed. Feed
scratch grains lightly In the morning
and give a full feed in the evening,
feeding roughly about three times as
much scratch grains In the evening as
in the morning. Different flocks will
consume different amounts of feeds,
but roughly the following amounts
should be fed :

"SUNFLOWER GOOD AS SILAGE
Becoming Popular in Northwestern
Sections Where Corn Is Diffi
cult to Grow.
The use of sunflowers for silage has
proved popular In certain of the North
ern Great Plains and Inter-Mountain
states where it is not possible to pro
duce a lrge tonnage of corn for silage
purposes. In some sections the silage
made from sunflowers has been found
to compare favorably in palatability
and feeding value with silage made
from corn. This is not always the
case, however, as it appears that in
certain Irrigated districts in the North
ern Great Plains where the growth of
sunflowers Is rank and succulent, the
resulting silage is often not very pal
atable. Experiments reported from
the Huntley experiment farm In Mon
tana of the United States Department
of Agriculture show that while It is
possible to produce from 25 to 30 tons
of sunflowers per acre, It has been dif
ficult to produce a silage that Is as
much relished by live stock as corn
silage, which gives rather less than
half as much tonnage per acre.
CARING FOR STUBBLE LANDS
Turn as Soon as Thr la Sufficient
Moisture Convert Weeds Into
Needed Humus.
Oats and wheat stubble that have
not been turned should be turned as
soon as there is sufficient moisture.
Get rid of weeds by converting thera
into humus to Improve your soiL If
wheat is to be sown on oat fields the
land should be turned as soon as pos
sible. If a spring crop is to follow
wheat, break as soon as yon can to
check weeds and get the land ready
for the next crop. The "blow sands"
had probably best be left till spring.
Lambs Repay Good Feed.
Lambs on the best kind of forage
will pay for a half pound of grain
fed daily. Oats, barley, corn, bran,
and 5 to 10 per cent oiimeal make the
best combinations of grain to feed
them. ,
Properly Balanced Ration.
If a hog ration is properly balanced.
It takes less grain to produce , 1U0
pounds of grain than when corn is fed
alone.

College Abolishes "Old Stuff."
The freshman green cap, the sophomore-freshman
class rash In the fall,
and the freshman cap night bonfire In
the spring were officially abolished at
the University of Wisconsin recently
by action of the student senate,
which has Jurisdiction over student
conduct. The action Is backed by the
sentiment of the students and of the
faculty that the last remnant of bas
ing "traditions" of rivalry between
the lower classes and other relics of
bygone days have been outgrown. The
Immediate cause of the senate's action
was a freshman-sophomore class fight,
attending the cap night bonfire, at
which several students were hurt-'
When Dogs Bark.
It Is rather curious that dogs bark
only when they are connected with hu
man beings In some fashion ; . for .in
stance when a burglar is suspected to
be near. When the dog Is alone, he is
given to groans, growls, howls or
whines. Possibly the act of barking
is the dog's method of talking. It
would seem like It when your pet dog
sees you carrying food and barks as
if he were asking for It. Another dog,
which Is in the habit of going to bed
at sundown, will bark to tell you that
i he Is ready when the time, comes.

Sexton Rather Spoiled Effect of Preach

A country negro preacher was
speaking at length to his congrega

are shrouded in mystery, and of which
we know little. As he warmd to his
theme, he became most eloquent, and
frequently repeated the oft-quoted
saying: "More light! Oh, for more
light:" .
His surprise may be Imagined
when, after one of these utterances,
the old sexton, who had been dozing
since the beginning of the sermon,
woke with a start, then got up, tip
toed softly into the vestrj, seized two
additional candles and. ascending the
pulpit stairs, placed them beside the
two already there, and in a loud
