Crimson Clover Here German clover often railed Crimson clover, has been grown successfully here tor a good many years, >et It does not receive half of the attiv.lon It deserves. H is but natural tlmt oil land left bare at any season of fbe year Is bound to lose fertility by -washing out the plant food in the soil, mid this Is trip 1 especially her) i" Ihe south. While crops are gre wing on laml they retain plant fond, and fur nbth this fertility. Hut In sections when* It Is too cold to grow a crop during the winter, the ground la gen- %t*I1,v covered with snow, and a good many claim that It adds fertility to •he aoll, ml tnkes the place of the jtniwlng crop cover. 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 been turned under. In fact, I have found that most any kind of crop will do well where clover has been sown for several years, as It Increases the fertility of the soil, and keeps li so mellow uml loose thill the crops 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. =43. W.

'this man, who ha.i to work hard to make a acaui) liv 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 *• to '--urn", venr hv year.
