Crimson Clover Here
German clover often railed Crimson

It deserves. H is but natural tlmt

Here In tl)e south the climate con
ditions are such that the ground Is
rarely ever covered with snow; If so,
for a very short period. It Is there
fore necessary then that we should
jgmw a crop to cover the soil during
she winter. Ho In selecting a crop
Tor this covering It Is to our Inter
est to choose one that not only re
tains the plant food In the soil, but
one which will In Its growth add to
the fertility of the soil, and make It
belter fitted for our next crop. If
seme winter and spring grazing, and
make an early hay we ought to do
so. We ran do ttiIs here In the
south with several crops; I have
found that German clover mor. fully
meets all the requirements above
mentioned than any other, and also
makes the best winter null spring
grazing, ar.d a better fallow to turn
the soil. In preparing for the com
crop this crop Is of great value, as It
enables the farmer to grow the crop
without so much expense of Inlying
commercial fertilizers. Irish p >■ a
toes also do well where clover link

The Arkansas station In bulletin 99
on Harm Poultry has the following on
egg production:
The object of all poultry keeps Is
to produce ns many eggs as possible
: In order to have good winter layers
the pullets should mnture early, about
' the middle or last of October. Much
! depends on the breed, but more de-
1 ponds o n the strain of any particular
breed and the Individuals of that
strain. The first step towards sue.
i c-'ss Is to discard all birds which
I are not strong and healthy and keep
(only those which are vigorous and
j thrifty.
In order to maintain the health and
[ vigor of a flock they must be pro-
I vlded with the proper amount and
variety of food, clean, fresh water,
and exercise when under confinement.
I An exclusive ratlo n of one grain
I should be avoided and a variety
j should be fed, though If It Is neces-
I sary for any reason to feed an exciu-
! slve ration of one grain, wheat will
give the best results. Corn Bhould
not hi- fed alone on account of its
tendency to form fat, and the fowls
will become lazy and will not be
prolific. We have found that a ration
composed of one part oats, two parts
corn nnd two parts wheat fed In con-
lunctton with a mash compound of
30 parts shorts. 20 parts corn chops
ground coarse, 10 parts bran. 5 parts
linseed meat, and 2 parts blood meal
gives excellent results. Besides this
Ihe fowls are supplied green food In I
the form of clover and alfalfa in sum-]
mer and clover and alfalfa steamed 1
In winter. Dried beef scrap Is sup-1
piled In such a manner that the fowls'
always have free access to tt. This
last point Is very essential to best
success, epeclallv if the fowl are kept
In total or partial confinement. If
they have free range they will sup
ply it themselves by picking no In
sects. Green bone, broken up with an
ax or a hammer or cut up in a bone
cutter, will answer the same end and
prove of much benefit to the birds.
Grit should always be convenient in'
suffllcent quantity In order that the
birds may he nblo to digest their
food. This may he furnished In the
form of oyster shell, which has the
additional advantage of furnishing the
lime for the shells, and is cheap and
easily procurable. Clam shells, which
can be found along the hanks of most
streams, are equally suitable. Old
plaster Is also good, but grit must be
furnished to this In the form of gravel
or broken stones.
Some poultry men favor feeding
throe times a day .other twice. We
have tried both methods and have
had a variety of results. We think
that fully as much if not more de
pends upon the feeder than upon the
rneihod. For Inexperienced hands It Is
safer to feed three times, while Just
as good results can often be obtained
by experienced feedrs from the twice
a day plan.
Our plan Is somewhat as follows;
Early In the morning each bird Is
given about one-half a handful of
grain of the mixture previously Indi
cated. This Is well hurled In the lit
ter on the door. In searching for the
grain the fowls get exercise which is
verv necessary In order to maintain
thrifty, prolific birds. At noon the
mnsh Is fed—Just what they will
clean up nicely without wasting any.
The mash is mixed with skim milk
and made suflclently damp without
being sloppy. About u o'clock In the
afternoon grain Is fed again, about
the same amount as Is fed In the
morning. For the night feed we use
a mixture composed of one part
coarsely ground corn chops and two |
part what.

EGGS IN WINTER
We know It is hard—nay, lmpossl
ble—for a man with small capital to
man above all men, who needs to do
better farming. 'this man, who ha.i

ing. and who Is not able to gut ahead,
Is the man of all others whom we are
most eager to help, Itut when a
man says, "I can t get pure bred stock
or build n silo, or buy a two-horse
cultivator, and therefore all this talk
about better tunning does not apply
to me," he tnkes a very wrong view
of the chances he has.
An these tilings cau come only to
the man who has made some progress,
who has some capital. The very poor
farmer must hi gin with the little I
things which will add to hla income,
and gradually work into better tnoth
ods. It Is the man who, having two
or three pigs, tries to find out the
most economical way of feeding
'them; who, with a small flock of poul
try, wil try to care for them so as
to get more eggs during the winter;
who, with two or three head of stock
to feed, will try to raise a larger pari
of his teed at home; who. with a poor
soil, will try to improve at least r.
little of It each year—lhls Is the typi
of man who will understand that even
if he c.-.n no', do the best farming, he
cun do better farming, Bill who will

man may not be able to buy a manure
-..10.. nor act d it. In fact—
hut he can and does need to take care
of the little manure he has. A man
may have only one horse and one cow
to feed but he can at least grow pea
vine liny for them and save the Inn
ing of much high-priced corn. A man
! may not he aide to sow his «-hole
farm to crimson clover, but he can

THE MOULTING SEASON.
The moulting season is now at
hand, and the fowls should have a lit
tle extra care during the uext three
months.
I Early moulting shptild be encour-
