One of the principal reasons for fail
ure with clover Is poor seed. A sam
ple should always be tested before
sowing. This can bo easily done by
pulling u hundred tceils ; between n
couple of moist blotters and keeping In
a warm place for a few days. The
number that germinate can be used an
a guide as to the amount of seed to
use per acre.
One reason why clover and alfalfa
are not more popular with farmers IH
the dllllctilty of curing the hay. If It
Is left In the swath until dry enough to
put In the mow , the loaves , which are
the most valuable part , will become
si > brittle that many of them will be
lost. A better way Is to go over the
Held with a side delivery rake us soon
as the leaves have wilted a little and
throw the hay together in loose wind
rows. 1 la lulled In this way , it dries
evenly , and the leaves will not fall off
so easily. I lay cured In this way Is
also less liable to bo dusty than when
cured by direct exposure to the sun.
Once In awhile , oven with the best of
care , some of the hay will be caught In
a rain. A hard rain on clover or al
falfa hay washes out much of the nu
triment which It contains. Kiieh hay
is hardly worth putting In the barn ,
but may be made good use of for bed
ding. In thU way It Is mixed with
the manure , and the plant food which
It contains Is returned to the noil.
fowpoas and soy beans are to the
southern part of the United States
what clover and alfalfa are to the
northern soc-tlons. They are grown
more as hay and forage than for the
grain. These legumes are also used In
some sections of the corn bolt as catch
crops. If sown on early fall plowing ,
( hey prevent the soil from washing
and thus losing much of Its available
plant food. They may ho pastured otf

later or illskotl 1111 lu the Hpriup. They
nre often sown In cornllelils during the
last ciilllviitlt'ii to keep tlu > weeds
down and to add nitrogen to tlio soil.
lU'cansc of tlio fact that other crops
niako MI innch better growth after the
field has grown a legitnio for a year t r
so II Is Important that a c'nip of cleverer
or some other legume he grown occa
sionally. If a plan of rotation Is ar
ranged so that the fields are regularly
changed from one crop to another , so
much the better. It has been found
that when any crop Is grown year aft
er year on the same land the j lelils will
grow less. The particular kinds of
food that a certain crop requires ) grows
scarcer , and woods and insects become
more numtToiH. If another kind of
plant l-i substituted , other elements of
plant fond v ill lie drawn upon , the lu-
su'clsill bo starved out and the chang
ed methods of soil treatment will dis
courage the \\ecds.
| Hunts vary greatly In their ability to
get foctl from the soli. Such crops as
rye and buckwheat are strong feeders
and are able to obtain footl from n soil
on which more tender plants would
starve , 'viiiie plants use imu-h more
, humus than other. ! . Crops like corn
that are cultivated frequently deplete
the liuinns supply rapidly , since the
constant stirring of the soil hastens de
cay. Oats , on the other hand , take
comparatively little humus from the
soil.
These differences may bo largely
equalized by a consistent system of ro
tation. In planning rotations the aim
should bo to so distribute ( he crops
i that they will lie best adapted to the
1 condition in which the soil was loft by
: the preceding crop. The starting point
j of every rotation should be clover ov
some other legume. The length of time
that a Hold should bo left la to such a
iron depends largely on local condi
tions. In the east , where alfalfa seed
Is high and the dllllcullles of obtaining
a stand great , It Is usually wise not to
plow up the iroji for three or four
years. Hod clover lives only two years ;
honeo If not plowed up the second year
the land must bo rosetied. . In most
onsos two yours Is as long as the land
should be left lo any one crop.
Since clover U grown with small
Kniin the lirst year , this means only
one year lu which itlll bo the hole
crop. If the second crop of clover In
to be plowed under , un Is the case
when ( lie tioll Is considerably lucking
lu humus , this work had better be
done in the fall , PO that the mass of
freen clover may have time to decay
iiefore the following crop is planted.
If the soil has been properly cared for ,
however , this green manuring will bo
unnecessary. As a general rule It Is
more protltable to feed the hay or
grass to stock and return the manure
to the hind. In this way from M ) to
00 per cent IH much plant food Is
added as would have been If the crop
had been plowed under , nnd nt the
fame time the stock has hud the bene
fit of the extra feed. AVhen only the
stubble Is to bo turned under , the
plowing may bo done either In Into
fall or uuirly spring * . .
