SOW BUR CLOVER
THIS SUMMER—
Now is tlie time to got ready for n
patch of bur clovor thin fnll. When it
is onco. started bur clover furnishes
spring grazing to the animals on the
farm better than any onther plant we
have. It is ready for grazing early in
March and lastB until the middle of May.
At first the cows may not like it, but
after tasting it several times they be
come very fond of it. Hogs, mules,
horses nnd chickens also will cat it.
Bur clovor is a stronger feed than'Ber
muda grass, and will show it in the blilk
and butter. Mr. R. T. Moscb, near Tu
rin, has beon growing it for several years
and likes it. Mr. Evans Lunsford, at
Covington, Ga.* has fifty acrOB in clover,
nnd keeps n fine herd of Hereford cattle
fat on it during the entire spring.
Tho best way to got bur clover stnrted
is to either rake up the seed this spring
or buy thorn before summer and put them
out during August, mixed with black
manure. A solid stand can bo secured
the first yenr if enough seed and manure
are UBcd, but for the average farmer it
is best to put down the seed and manure
in spots or in towb. If put down in rows
small furrows should bo made two or
'three feet apart nnd filled with manure
and scad .used at the rate of two or
three bushels of manure to each bushel
of seed. If put In spots, a shovelful or
handful should be dropped two or threo
feet each way nnd left untouched.
Bur clovor needs thorough inocula
tion. This is tho most important thing
about growing it. If soil from- a bur
olovor pntch or on alfalfa pnteh can bo
secured, it would bo wise to mix a shov
elful of it to each bushel of seed and
, manure. This soil, with tho manure,
will insure plenty of bacteria, oven on
galled spots.
Bur clover should bo grazed very light
ly tho first year. After it. in woll estab
lished it can bo grazed rather heavily,
but always should bo given a chance, to
ro-sood in Mny. Bur elovo.r grows fairly
well with Bermuda' grass in u pasture,
hut will do hotter In a separate pntch.
Bur clovor anil corn do woll together if
tho land is not turned too deep. "1I10
seed need to be loft licnr I he surface.
It would be bettor to turn the lnml very
shallow and subsoil rather than turn tho
land deep. Where the lunds have been
turned deep tho stnnd of clovor is likely
to bo destroyed.
During years with very dry falls tho
bur clover will lie lute in coming up, nnd
if the winter is cold enough to kill the
oat crop tho bur. clover will be killed
also. There are always enough seed loft,
however, to brifig bnck tho stand tho
next year. All farmers interested in
this crop are ndvisoil to get in touch
with mo in tho next two mouths. All
who can save seed are requested to do
no thonuelves or lot their neighbors save
them. Tho people in other sections of
Georgia are growing this crop success
fully, and wo can do tho Hnmo.

IS YOUR PASTURE
GOOD ENOUGH?
Does your pasture furnish enough
grazing for your stock from early spring
until late fall, or does it fail for n time
in tho spring and the fall! Cnn it bo
improved without too much trouble and
cxponscl What grasses and clovers lire
beat!
To miswor these questions intelligently
it will ho well to review tho problem of
permanent pastures in Georgia. Tho
imturai pasture innds in this soction nro
the low, moist lands. The renson for
this is that low land Is rlchor .and bettor
supplied with moisture in the spring
and fnll than high land. Low -land
should therefore be the lands of a pos
ture. The soepy places between hills
nnd the bottoms along creeks and
bronchos are tho plnces naturally suited
for pastures. If thoso places havo not
boon included hi tho pasture they should
bo taken in whore it is possible to do so,
Poor hinds make poor pastures unless
■well manured or fertilized. Quite often
tlie poorest lands on tho place are wired
in and turned into pastures, hut tho
amount of grazing from these places is
always very small. When u good yield
is expected from n pasture
should bo good land.
The best grasses nnd clover found in
Georgia pastures nro lespedesa (or wild
summer clovor) and Bermuda grass for
tlie hills; nnd Dallas grass, carpet grass
and white clovor for the bottom Innds.
Lespedezu comes in naturally after sev
eral years, but much more quickly by
seediug about 10 lbs. per acre during tho
spring. Dallns grass nnd carpet grass
come from seed sown in the spring on
firm land, and white clover from seed
sown ill the fall.
Lespedeza is vnluablo in midsummer.
At. this time of the year it is growing
well. During most, of the spring it is
too smull for grazing, mid' during the
fall it matures early. While it lasts it
is one of the most valuable pasture clops
we have.
Bermuda grass is well-known nnd
valued for its grazing, its ability to
stand drought, and its long life ns a
grazing plant.
Dallas grass is new to many jieopla.
It is a bunchy, big-leaved grass, earlier
in the spring and inter in the fall than
Bermuda, anil growing only on low land
or rich upland. On the low laud it will
do -better than Bermuda when once
started. The seed seem to like hard
land, but are slow in developing where
there is w! ready a good stand of other
grasses. Four or fire pounds per acre
will give a id start of this phis-, and
it will grmlu'iiiiy spread over the lauds
suited to it.
Carpet grass is tiled a uew grass. It
comes from fine seed ami spreads over
the ground like Bermuda grass, but cnn
be killed easily. Two to five pounds of
seed per acre sown in the early spring
wifi give a.good start of ibis grata. It
should be sewn on , damp, firm JAunis
only. .
White clover is nn early pasture plant
that will grow on most damp lands after
they are well inoculated. A pound or
two of seed per acre will get it started,
mill whore well nilaptcd It will spread
over tho hind.
These five uro tho plantH that do best
in the permanent pasture of the average
fnrin, There are others, such as bur
clover, vetch and orchard grass, that
can bo used, but they do better In a spe
cial patch than In the main pasture.
Now iB the time to begin thinking about
Improving pnstures or buildng new ones..

this line.

CLUB GIRLS CAN SAVE—
I think, after attending such a meet
ing ns tho Huggins girls held Thursday,
wo can no longer say the girlB of todny
do not know how to practice thrift.
Two girls were absent on account of
sickness. All of thoso present were first-
year members/’ As the first-year girls
make aprons, enps, towelB nnd holders,
'they bogdn their aprons. Each girl had
brought threo nicely ironed, flour sacksi
All five of tho girls got their aprons
out and bnsteil together, so that they
can most finish them alone. They got the
lesBon in economy—seams, basting, ac
curacy in cutting, nnd measuring—with
out a long face of hard times. This is
a bunch of girls looking for the best,
but giving the best as they go.
LIVE AT HOME—
Tho women of Elim community nuiy
not under present conditions be able to
livo the best they know. If they did
they would have lighting plants, water
systems, washing machines, churns, etc.,
running by machinery. But thoy can do
smaller things, and hopo to be able later
on to have things as they like. These
womon can't go to the 'phone and order
broad for supper those hot dayH, but they
havo many advantages and they can
make tlie brend. Eight women in the
Elim community havo sot aside certain
days for baking. On regular days' of
tho week tho grocer nmiU tho yeast, to
theBO women, and they bake bread
onough to Inst Bovoral days, thus saving
time nnd work over tlie hot stove.
JELLY-MAKING—
Lust woek, in tho notos on jolly, refer
ence wns made to tho use of pectin. Be
low nro eoino instructions for tho prepa
ration and use of pootin taken from Miss
Ola Powell’s hullotin on jplly-mnking;
Use of Pectin.—Jollies having the
flavor of strawberry, pineapple, cherry
or peach can bo made by. combining the
juice of these fruits with pectin obtain
ed from other soureos,. such ns apple,
ernbnpjilo or tho white portion of orange
pool, pomneo from cider presses, or tho
skins and eoros of appios which have
been- used in canning.' When overripe
blackberries, raspberries, currants or
grapoB are usod for making jelly, tlie ad
dition of pectin from the above sources
can be used advantageously.
Apple Pectin.—1 lb. apple pomace,
(or sklnp and cores,) juice of 1 lemon,
4 pints of water. Only sound fruit
should bo used—not decomposed or
worm-eaten fruit. Boil for % to % hour,
press tlie juice through a cloth bag, then
nllow tills juice to drain without press
ure through a heavy flannel jelly bag.
When cold it should be tested to deter-
mine tlie proportion of sugar to add to
a volunio of juice. Poctin, whether ob
tained from orange poel or apple, can
bo bottled, processed and kept until
heeded for jelly-making. Process pint
jirs for 15 mimitOB in n water bath.
Tighten tlie covers or stoppers Immedi
ately and store in a cool, dry place until
needed.
Pineapple and Orange (or Apple)
Pectin Jelly.—Add half-pint of orange
(or apple) pectin juice to Imlf-pint of
pineapple juice which has beon boilod
for 10 minutes, Boil, add half-pound
of sugnr and continue boiling until the
jolly-making point is reached. Pour into
hot jolly glasses, and when cold pour
hot pnrnffin over tlie jelly. Seal nnd
store ns for other jelljes.

washed always before eating and after
using tho toilet, nnd positive rules be
made to cover tills.
If the school-room 1b not in good re
pair—if the windows are broken, wnlls
defaced, deskB and seats improperly con
structed—now is the time to havo tliiB
corrected. A bubbling drinking fountain
is one of tho most important needs. This
removes all possible danger from infec
tion, for evon the individual drinking
cup iIocb not always remain individual,
ns children often borrow oach other’s.
No matter how carefully the child’s
health may bo guardod at home, it is
not woll guarded unless the school sani
tation is good. A word to the wise
ought to be “sufficient,” and a remind
er rtf this kind should result in a survey
of tho schools now. To wait is often to
delny indefinitely; act today. By. s6 do
ing your children may bo well kept’ dur
ing tho next school term.

PREPARE SCHOOLS
FOR HEALTH NOW—
Tho children spend /our-fifths of their
waking lives in the school-room. How
many mothers know if-these schools are
sanitary! Are they properly ventilated!
Do they get sufficient sunshine in win
ter nnd cool air in summer! Is the
source of water supplied to children for
drinking purposes pure! Is amplo pro
vision made for washing hands niul facof
Is the school-room screened! Most im
portant of nil, is the school toilet safe!
Is it provided with city sewerage, septic
tanks or fly-proof toilet and its sur
roundings kept i dean, nnd free from
dnngerous djscnso germs! To know that
you are doing tlie best in this very im
portant matter, all body waste must be
destroyed, oither by septic tanks, or by
tho free use of strong disinfectants.
The toilet should bo rain-proof, well veil
tilated, and be’of one or the other of
the following types: If city sewerage
is not possible, a dry earth closet, septic
tank container, water-tight vault or box,
Having sanitary toilets for every
school, rural or urban, is the one great
est health precaution that can be taken
for the school ehildren. Now is the time
for parents and school officials to gu
ilds vital subject their close attention,
Work on toilets can be done when schools
are not in session.
Ranking in importance with sanitary
toilets is the water supply. This,
course, should be pure. If it comes from
a well sir other questionable source
should lie tested by your State Board of
Henlth, and the board will be glad to
do this work for you if you will send
a sample of water to tlie State Board of
Health, State Capitol, Atlanta. Ample
water should be easily available for
washing purposes. Hands should be
