Ranchmen Who Have Tried It
Forage Requested te Teal
Herald Readers
for
A great deal has been printed
within the last few years regarding
aweet clover and Us value te stock
mejs, especially In the sandhills coun
try. The Herald has beca disposed
to discount these claims te a consid
erable extent, not that we doubt the
good Intentions or veracity of those
making them, but there la a possibil
ity, perhaps, that they are mistaken
in their opinions. It seems that if
the plant Is as valuable aa Is claimed
by tome, "ranchmen would have
found it out and now be crowing it
extensively for feed.
In this connection we wish to ask
readers of The Herald who have had
any experience in growing and feed
ing sweet clover to write us what
they know about it for publication
In order that others may be inform
ed aa to its value or lack of value,
aa the case may be.
The following editorial from the
Omaha World-Herald of June 6th
gives' information regarding aweet
clover and its growth in eastern Ne
braska. The Herald .wants Informa
tion directly applicable to the cen
tral and western parta of the state.
World-Herald on Aweet Clover
On account of the great interest
shown by Nebraska farmers in sweet
clover the state experiment station
has issued a bulletin entitled "Sweet
Clover in Nebraska." The analysis
of the plant shows that K has the
same food value as alfalfa and clov
er. It will grow in many places
where alfalfa Is a fallnre, as it re
Quires very little moisture, and it
enriches the land as weH aa does al
falfa or any of the legumes.
It grows wild all over the eastern
portion of the state and In some por-'
tions of the northwestern part. It j
is a much more pleasant crop to
raise along1 the road sides than weeds '
and is of as much value aa a corn
crop. There Is one thing about!
weet clover that but few know. It'
is a biennial and not a perennial like '
alfalfa und clover and will disappear
at the end of the second year unless
the lust crop is allowed to go to seed

. There Beems to be something more
about sweet clover than la stated in 1
this bulletin. In Omaha the cut I
down lots within a year or tw all
grow a big crop. The owners of
lota declare they never sowed any
sweet clover on them, bat evenr-'c
. . , ' ""
where over the city they are grow
ing heavy crops of hay. How the
seed got there no one seems to know.
Jf all the sweet clover hay that is
growing in Omaha was harvested It
would feed a good share of the
horses of the town. It produces
(wo crops a year and must be cut be
fore It becomes woody.
Every time the closet of your
neighbor is opened a little, do you
strain your neck to peek, and then

There is no place in a pretty little
city such as ours for rubbllah piles
or "dump" piles as they are some
times called. They mar the looks
of a town more than one would lm
agine until one visits a strange town
and finds these piles of rubbish.
They are far more noticeable to us
in another town than la our own,
for here, knowing where they are
end accustomed to paastag them ev
ery day, we soon cease to notice
them.

You can begin to teach a child to
take pride in his or her home town
very early in life. Explain to them
how it detracts from the beauty and

marking them up with crayon.
We are not given to boasting, but
we are proud of the farmer boys of
this vicinity. They are, with rare
exceptions, a healthy, intelligent and
happy class of young men. We feel
like taking our hat clear off when
we meet them upon our streets, and
no clans is more welcomed to our of

.Speaking at the 4 o'clock Sunday

Young Men'a Christian Association
Dr. Cadman said that these increas
es may be directly charged to the
grocery habit.
" 'New York women are too prone
to dip their fingers into every pickle
jar of the corner grocery store in
stead of cooking a wholesome meal
for their husbands,' he said. 'There
is nothing that sends a man into the
day better prepared for victory than
a good breakfast and a clean shave.
" 'Good breakfasts, homelike
breakfasts, the kind of breakfasts
that do a man good, do not give
man the same satisfaction that the
goods of a delicatessen shop do, for
the delicatessen shop is catering to a
general trade and cannot make
things as each individual would like
them. A quarter's worth of sliced
ham from the grocery will not give
a man the same satisfaction that
home cooked slice of ham will.' "
Scottsbluff Is to have a big Fourth

A wholesale house in Norfolk, Va.,
hipped a No. 34 cheese to a retail
grocer which the grocer did not ac

way he asked for the credit to his
account of the invoice of the cheese:
'Gentlemen: We are returning to
you this date one No. 34 cheese, this
being one of the two invoiced to us
on the 4th Instant.
'Simply lift the lid of the 'coffin'

People who speak of western Ne
braska as being in the semi-arid belt
should spend a few weeks in Alli
ance. A rain every two or three
days, combined with fine warm
weather, is bringing the crops along
at a rapid pace. Eastern Nebraska
will have to hustle some to keep up
with the pace western Nebraska is
setting for them this year.
The Alliance Commercial Club Is
making a record. It now has the
largest membership of any club in
the state outside of Omaha and Lin
coln, over $6,000 raised for use dur
ng the year, has already landed one
convention for the city and is on the
trail of several more. Who said that
Alliance wasn't full of the booster
spirit? We are no.w getting more
reading notices and free advertising
in the eastern newspapers and mag
azines than ever before.

as Mac , the Alliance land man.
has a white Ford which he has used
for several seasons and which he
claims has the record for economic
al running and mileage. Recently,
while out in'the country this car ran
out of water and the engine began
to neat, no larmnouse was near
and no water was in sight. "Mac"
was in a quandry until a happy
thought struck him. In the rear of
the car was a two-gallon can of but
termilk which he was bringing in
from the country. Taking the cover
off the can, he poured the buttermilk
Into the radiator, screwed the cap
buck on, and came into town on high
speed. The car made no protest
whatever on account of being com
pelled to use buttermilk for coling
Instead of water.

There was company to dinner and
father was carving his prettiest on a
fine roast, when suddenly the knife
struck a skewer, made a sliding mo
tion and came out on top. Father
attempted to cover his real feelings
w'th jests, but there was an embar
rass! eg silence. Willie took ad van
tage of It.
' Cook has burned her nose orful,'
he said.
"Too bad," muttered father, still
wrestling with the roast. "How did
she do It?"
"Trying to pull those skewers out
v,ith her teeth."
