Criaaeoa Clover.
Crimson clover Is a coiparatlvely
new crop, yet tbe area seeded each year
I rapidly Increasing. Where Its char
acteristics have been atudled and are
well understood by farmere It Is very
highly regarded, and now has a fixed
and Important place among the regular
farm crops. The New Jersey experi
ment station, according to the Ameri
can Agriculturist, haa made a very care
ful atndy of the plant, and experiments
are atlll In progress to fully determine
Its advantages and limitations. In the
truck sections of tbe State It la largely
used as a green manure crop, while In
the dairy regions and among general
farmer It is esteemed for early pas
ture, for forage, for soiling, or for hay.
In southern sections large area are
being turned under aa a manure for
corn, tomatoes, potatoes and other
crops, while In tbe more northern eec
tloiis It Is used to some extent for pas
ture, and In summer aa a soiling crop
and In orchards as a green manure.
The single stool shown In tbe accom
panying Illustration waa removed from
the soil on April 24. It represents the
average size of tbe crop on that date on
good soil. It was seeded In a pear or
chard In Gloucester County on Aug. 1.

Its Mtoollng character la aluo an Impor

In the central sections of the State the
average size In good soils, seeded under
good conditions, was probably almut
six Inches on the same date. The studies
made last year at this station show .ue
grt value of the crop even when aver
aging only six Iriclien high when used.
It was found that the rnota and stubble
on an acre of a full staud of this size
contained 10.'t.7 pounds of nitrogen, an
amount equivalent to that contained in
048 pounds of nitrate of soda, which
would eirnt at present prices $15; or it
was equivalent In nitrogen and organic
martyr to that contained In ten tons of
average quntlty yard manure, the nitro

Its total value ns net mil plant food, and
which costs $1! per ton delivered at
consumer's deMit. Itegnrded ns a food,
It. would furnish In pasture actual nu
trition compounds sufficient to main
tain twelve cows In full flow of milk
for one week. The value of the crop Is,
of course, proportionately Increased as
It approaches maturity, and when fully
grown Is quite as valuable, other things
being ei)tial, as the common red variety.
A Tree Hitching Poat.
It Is often desirable to use a tree for
a hitching imst, but there Is danger
that tlie horse may gnaw the bark, or
rub his harness
against the tree.
The cut shows a
device to obviate
lxitb difficulties.

trlvance to prevent horses from gnaw
ing trees consists of a staple to which
are attached three or four links of a
chain, a half-Inch -rod thirty Inches
loug, then three or four more links,
with a snap at the end.
Hhade for Milch t'owa.
Shade Is as essential to milch cows
and fattening steers In summer as
warmth In winter. If the pastures have
no trees, erect a tight IxMird shed, where
they can go In aud be in the dark, nway
from tbe flies This fixture to a pas
ture often pays even If good shade trees
abound. Such a building can be used
for milking In, without driving the cows
home, aud In winter for storing mow
ers, rake, etc. It should be built before
the hurry of haying. Farm Journal.
Make Sulky flow.
To change an ordinary plow Into a
riding plow, an old wagon wheel may
bo cut down to SO laches In diameter
and the tire reset Then have a black
smith make necessary Irons (see lllus-
tratlou) aud any lnteKU-m can
do the rest at borne. Either make a new
axle about 4 feet long and clamp over
the plow beam, over the uptight stand
ard and on the forward end of the plate
which lies on top of this axle. Di
rectly over tbe beam have a hinge made
to which the pole Is bolted. The Iron
braces which are seen hinged from the
end of the lever to the front end of the
beam serve to lift tbe plow out of the
ground and to keep tbe pole In It place
over the beam. A brace of hard wood
or Iron mi't be fastened from the axle.

This plow, says Farm and Home, will

the market, and the plow can be detach
ed at any time If wanted for drilling po
tatoes or any work of that kind. The

a plow In actual service In one of the
extensive grain fields of Alberta.
A Believer in Few Crops.
An acre of ground may be made to
grow a half dozen different klnda of
supplies for tbe farm, thus preventing
the necessity of expending money at
the store; but If that acre can be made
to produce a cash crop that will buy
these supplies, and require only half as
much of the time and labor of the farm
er, It la business to let the patches go.
The little side crops take so much val
uable time in the busy growing season,
and those who grow these supplies as
field crops on soil and with tools adapt
ed to their culture, can sell us what we
need far more cheaply than we can
grow them.
I believe that a very few kinds of
crops are enough for one farm, says a
writer. Modern tillage requires many
costly tools, and It Is better to push a
few paying crops than to fritter away
time on numberless patches. By so do
ing there Is less danger of neglecting
anything, and there 1r more net profit
at the end of the year. Some side crops
may be raised because they pay In cash,
but the planting of everything with the
Idea that the farmer must iy out no
money for anything Is a relic of a by
gone era that will never return.
Cleanlineaa in Milking.
Men often go directly from the dirti
est operation of farming to the milking,
not washing their hands, brushing their
garments, or properly cleaning the
cow's udder, and, to citp the climax,
many moisten their hands and the
teats with milk. Itrushing the dry ud
der with the fiat of the hand will re
move much dirt. Filth should be wash
ed ofT with clean water. Both teats and
hands should Is? clean and dry during
milking. The strainer will not remove
all impurities. Many are dissolved, and
thus get Into the butter and ehece.
A Fence Wlthont Stakes.
Stakes for fences are sometimes hard
fa obtain, and on some land stake can
never be kept In place, the frost throw
ing them out every year. Again, some
land Is so wet that ordinary stakes soon
rot out The Illustration, from the
Orange Judd Farmer, shows an Ingen
ious way to support a fence without
stakes. Picket boards four Inches wide
are used for uprights, cross-pieces, and
for braces, in the manner Bhown, the
result being an exceedingly stiff sup
port The fence boards are nailed to
the edge of one upright before tbe other
Is put in place. The crosspleces should
be laid on flat rocks, to prevent decay,
while a few heavy rocks may be laid
upon the ends to "ballast" the fence.
1'roftt in Cabbage.
At two cents a bead, the cultivation of
ten or more acres of good cabbage will
net the farmer a very, handsome return
for his labor, more actual cash, with
less labor, than a crop of wheat or oata
will necessitate. Being a hardy vege
table, less risk is encountered In grow
ing them up to marketable condition;
this means a great deal to the grower.
Ixx-ate near a good market, try cabbage
as a principal vegetable, and with or
dinary success tbey will pay. If Hol
landers can grow them profitably and
ship them to New York, certainly the
I demand for them Is beyond llie supply,
j Holland Is a great cabbage and turnip
i growing country; In fact, they are near
ly all truck farmers.
Suckers on Corn.
The practice of pulling off the suckers
from growing corn Is much less com
mon than It nsed to lie. The sucker
cut while young Is not worth anything
as feed, and If left Its leaves gather
carbon from the air and make It valua
ble. The origin of the sucker is an
Injury to the original plnnt If this
occurs early enough the suckers will

A Dainty Baoaa
In a pretty coantry bona lately fuN
niihed fo a bride one of tbe sleeping
rooms is all in white and violet, with
touches ofr gold. The wall paper has
a white ground strewn wltb bunches
of purple violets connected by delicate
festoon. Tbe rug is of a mossy green
with a purplish shadow. The wood
work is enameled wb to, the furniture
is of white enamel v.itb brass orna
ments, the bedstead is brass, and tbe
window curtains, bed cover, bolster
and Mule spreads and covers of white
organdie and green leaves. Yet the
organdie washes without fading, as
everything in so dainty a room always
should, unless the owner is a million
aire, and then one would probably take
more pleasure in living in it If sure
that it could renew its beauty by con
tact with sun and soap and water,
which always seems so much cleaner a
way of being clean than dry scouring.
New York Evening Poat.
Where There ara no Odors.
"In that country once known as the
Great American Desert,' embracing a
portion of Texas and Arizona, there
ars no odors," said R. P. Senter, of
Dallas. "There luscious grapes and
many other fruits grow, especially
near the cross timber country, but there
Is no perfume. Wild flowers have no
smell, and carcasses of dead animals,
whish In dry seasons are very plentiful,
emit no odors.
"It was always supposed to be a tree
less plain, upon which no plant could
grow or breathing thing could live, but
a large part of It is now successfully
cultivated, and but for the rarity of
atmosphere, causing the peculiarity I
have named, and the mirages, which
are even more perfect than in the Des
ert of Sahara, no one would look upon
it as a barren country now. Another
singular feature common to the desert
land is that objects at a distance ap
pear greatly magnified. A few scraggy
mesquite bushes will look like a noble
forest. Stakes driven Into the ground
will seem like telegraph poles." Cin
