M. DICKINSON LUMBER CO. PHONE LAMAR 46 LAMAR. COLORADO ,H SWEET CLOVER. Garden City, Kan., May 15, 1013 Mr. A, E. King, Secy., The Chas. E. Gibson Co., Denver, Colorado, My Dear Sir: I am just in receipt ot' No. 8 of your letter of the lltli, in regard to sweet clover, and 1 will pro ceed to answer same as best I can immediately. Before 1 forget it, 1 desire to say that I am glad the Sherman County-farmer has found that his hogs at least, will oat this clover. It might be possible that he has tlie yellow blooming vari ety. There are two of these. One that is called dwarf and an other called the biennial, and both of these, L am informed, have a bitter taste and a peculiar odor, Iwhich stock do not like. I have sown a little patch of the biennial yellow in my garden just this spring, and , 1 will see what it will do. I got the seed in Kentucky. I am very cautious that none of the yellow blooming variety gets into my fields, as I l grow only the pure white variety, which is considered the best, and all kinds of stock will eat the hay, and also are eager for the pasture, both in the spring as I well as in the fail. Now it might be that ciimatical • conditions have some effect in regard to whether stock like it or not. Ido not know of any existing conditions here where by one has ito ;teach or compel any stock to cat it. The only question is to gel enough to them. To verify this statement | 1 would ask anybody interested, to write J. D. Grant of this city, who'looked after James Cowgill’s cattle here this winter, which cattle were all on full feed, and had all the bestalsalfahay, kaffir and cane roughness they desired and also the privilege of eating out of two racks filled with sweet clover hay and threshed straw, and Mr. Grant told me, and I al so saw that these cattle would leave the alfalfa, kaffir and cane and go to the sweet clover racks. From my own experience in feedihg cattle in the last 0 or 7 years, I have found the same to be true, and from this fact, have become so interested in it that 1 have been and still am, expend ing a great deal of money both in the buying of land and the sowing of sweet clover thereon, until I have in the nuighboi hood of of 3,000 acres of land sown to this clover, and will start tumor row finishing up my last sowing of si tract of 200acres.
