BUTTON CLOVER A PROMISING NEW PLANT
Bur Clover-Taken at Chico, California.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Button clover is a new pasture plant
which specialists in the United Suites
department of agriculture ure now ad
vocating for use in the milder districts
of the Southwest and along the Gulf,
the South Atlantic and the Pacific
coasts. This plant will succeed, lt is
said, wherever bur clover does well,
and it is to be preferred to the latter
Ln certain respects. Under favorable
conditions it produces more seed anil
tt hits no spines on the pod or bur. For
this reason it is particularly desirable
for ranges where sheep are pastured.
The great loss of wool occasioned by
the spiny burs of spotted or toothed
bur clover getting into the fleece is
evidence, says Farmers' Bulletin 730, a
new publication of the department on
this subject, of the value of a species
with a spineless pod.
Button clover is as yet but little
known In most parts of the United
States. In general appearance and
manner of growth it resembles thc
toothed or California bur clover and
the spotted or southern bur clover. The
Chief difference between lt and these
two species lies in the burs. In the case
of button clover these are large and
spineless, while the burs of the others
art comparatively small and sp ".ny. The
button clover pods ripen in early sum
mer and drop from the vines. In their
ripened state they are then available
at any time as food for stock.
For the best results with hutton
clover, a growing period with no ex
much ns 25 to SO per cent burs. This
means lower prices for the wool and
extra freight charges. With button
clover this trouble is of course elimi
nated.
Button clover also makes good hay.
For this purpose lt should be cut when
most of the pods are still green but
well developed, and just before the
leaves begin to fall. If allowed to be
come more mature, many of the pods,
as well as the leaves, are lost in han
dling. A supporting crop of oats or
barley or some other grain should be
sown with the button clover in order
to facilitate cutting. There are, how
ever, a number of other legume crops
that are more desirable for hay pro
duction than button clover, so that its
use for this purpose will no doubt be
very limited. For green manuring the
value of the new plant is about the
same as toothed and spotted bur clo
ver.
Button crover can be easily estab
lished In pastures, for nothing more ls
necessary than to scatter the seed In
the most favorable places. The work
ing of the soil prior to sowing will per
haps aid In establishing a stand, but
except on good land this will hardly be
profitable. Ordinarily the most profit
able practice is to sow the seed broad
cast and allow it to compete with other
pasture plants. Where the winters are
mild, the clover should be sown in the
fall, and if there are summer rains the
seeding should be done about the first
of September. Early summer seeding
In the cotton states is not advisable.

tremes of temperature Is essential.
The plant ls not adapted to sections
with a winter temperature below IS
degrees Fahrenheit, and it does not do
well in extreme heat. In the United
Stai.s it Is believed that it will do best
In ??narrow strip extending along thc
entire length of the Pacific coast, in
southwestern Arizona and southern
?Nevada, and ulong the Gulf and Atlan
tic coasts us far north as South Caro
lina. A fairly well-drained rich loamy
soil-is desirable, but tte crop can be
grown on almost any soil which con
tains sd.ficient moist ure. Under rather
arid conditions it makes a fair growth,
"but in the dry foothill pastures of Cali
fornia it has done no netter than the
common toothed bur clover.
The principal value of the new plant
ls for pasturage. In the #-een state it
is readily eaten by live stock and, ns
has been said, the absence of spines in
the burs makes it especially desirable
on ?{heep ranges. This fact has been
recognized for some time in Australia.
In districts which Drpduce an abund
ance of spiny bur Clovers, it has been
found that fleeces often coutuin as
In California, where dry weather pre
vails throughout the summer, the seed
may be sown at any time before the
fall rains begin. In California, also,
and the other Pacific coast states where
bur clover is common, inoculation ls
not necessary for the. new crop. In
the southern and Gulf coast states,
however, inoculation is recommended
except on hind That has previously
grown bur clover. Mixing soil from an
old field of bur clover with button clo
ver seed is one of the easiest methods
of securing inoculation. Only enough
soil to dust tile seed ls necessary. An
other method -is to scatter soil from an
old bur clover field over the area to
be seeded Immediately before sowing.
Sowing seed in tile bur also seems to
insure inoculation. If no suitable soil
is available for the purpose, inocula
tion may be obtained by the use of ar
tificial cultures.
In comparison with tho spotted and
toothed bur clover, button clover pro
duces a large amount of seed. The
harvesting of it is rather difficult, how
ever, because the burs fall from the
Vlues so easily.
Bluff That Worked.
The whole world loves a circus. The
exceptions are so few that they need
not count. To make a bid for atten
tion is the common method of forcing
men and women to a knowledge that
one is worth knowing. It drives men
to schemes and women to dress ex
travagance. A man who had been of
some social consequence in his city
accepted a business position in a larger
one and made acquaintances by his
assiduous attendance at the opening
of new plays. Only to the few did he
confess how insignificant were his
sleeping quarters or where he took his
meals. His excellent clothing and
his presence at theaters were taken
as an indication of prosperity that
would provide a good home; he was
content to be judged by his appear
ance since lt put an end to loneliness.

"I Sympathize."
In the evening at Mercy hospital you
hear from all over the house the little
bedtime voices, and the sound blends
into something sweet and dear which
hardly forms itself Into words. To you
who have not heard it, it would seem
the strangest sort of music, coming
from all the wards and rooms and
balconies around you-on the lower
floor, on the upper, and sounding up
and down the stairs wherever you
might be. It ls just the quiet little
chatter of many, many children
ready for sleep, and the doctors and
nurses have hoard it every night for
20 years, and they wonder why it is
with child love so ready to respond to \
a call like that of little Helen "Relier, !

so little known to those who say-"I,

Couldn't Deceive Him.
At a special performance in New j
York a scene was being offered from a j
new play in which the principal male j
character had occasion to quote the
"seven ages of man" speech from
Shakespeare. He read the lines with
such telling effect that the audience
burst Into prolonged applause, tempo-1
rarily stopping the action of the piece, i
In the pause that succeeded the out- j
burst a sophisticated looking youth j
of a typical Broadway aspect was ob- j
served by one who sat just behind |
him to lean sideways and remark In I
the attentive ear of a young woman i
companion : "Say, the fellow that i
wrote this play is a thief ! Nearly all j
of that last stuff is a very popular
saying."
New Flying Target.
To take the place of clay pigeons,
glass balls and similar flying targets i
used by sportsmen In gun practice, a
small, propeller shaped device has been
brought out in France, says the Popu
lar Mechanics Magazine. It ls made
of steel and ls shot Into the air by
the strong spring of an Instrument
which revolves it rapidly as i??b re
ltased. The object can be nu??Ie"^to '
ascend to a considerable height, and
then planes for some distance before !
commencing to fall. As soon as it Is
struck by a shot, however, Its rotary
motion stops and it falls to the ground.
Aside from the matter of cost, an ad
vantage of the device is that It may
be carried in the pockof.

FOR SUCCESS WITH CHICKENS
Not So Much Depends on How Many
Are Hatched as Upon What Per
centage Are Raised.
Success with chickens depends not
so much on how many are hatched as
upon what percentage is raised. The
cold rains we have had recently fouhQ
many early hatched chicks ready prey.
An accident rather than acute reason
ing once placed us in possession of
what we consider the very best way
to save the life of a chilled, wet chick.
There were so many soaked at one
time that we simply could not wrap
them separately or place them in the
oven. A pan of very warm water on
the range prompted the man of the
house to suggest dipping the chicks as
he had dipped small pigs. For lack of
anything better, we tried it, dipping
the chicks and wrapping up several to
gether in flannel cloths. It worked
like magic. The warm water seemed
to affect them much quicker than dry
clothes or moderate heat would have
done. Since then, we've restored
young chicks so far gone we doubted
they had any life left in them.
ANIMAL PROTEIN FOR FOWLS
Buttermilk ls Considered One of Best
Forms-lt Should Be Fed in
Stoneware Vessels.
Buttermilk is one of the best forma
of animal protein to be had and on
account of its cheapness in the next
few years it will become a very com
mon feed in the poultry yard. You
can get ii at most local creameries at
one cent per gallon. It should be fed
in stoneware vessels.
