Ill I'ee Dec Daily." rUi.Msox (1,o\ i;k Li Valuable l'\>r I'UNtmr. ami I'Yr tili/.er Says llullet in. Washington I),. C., April L'S. A number of ways in which tlu*. early appearance of crimson clover 111 t h<? spring (ill) he turned Id the tann er's advantage are pointed out in ;i now publication ul' ilic United Statics Department of Agriculture Fiirmor.s' llulletin "'Crimson (.'lover I tiliy.nt iun." In the South ern and Central Atlantic States this crop is of particular, value. Clen orally speaking it suffers from the uevcru winters in the north and from too great dryness west of the Mississippi. hi Florida also it has proved less successful than else where. Crimson clover, says the bulletin, has two great advantages. It is an excellent fertilizer and it can he used for pasture and hay before an> other green Kfowtli is available, t In land being then sown with an ordi nary summer-grown crop. The clo ver itself ran he sown toward the end of the summer on land where such late crops as corn or tomatoes are sUII under cultivation. Its use, therefore, does not interfere with other products and its benefits cost little hut >:he labor and seed in volved. To obtain the full value of-crim .flon clover as a fert.ilijr.cr, t he entire green crop should be plowed under, thus adding to the soil a large quantity of nitrogen and humus, or decayed vegetable matter. The poor* er the land -the grater is the bene fit th.it the -succeeding crop de rives from this process. A yield of 3 0 bushels of corn per acre may ordinarily be increased by crimson olover to 4 5, but on richer land an increase of more- than 10 bushels is ? uncommon. A convenient method tot calculation is to consider a full j;:-- 4 ? . ?? . ? ' ??

At this nlan?' the- Pttillttf < ontain tftp maximum a ind.unt of protein and dry matter, while tile leaven are still present and the steins comparatively green. If the harvest Ib put off, the short hairs on the BteiUH and flower heads become dry and Ht iff. In tills stage there Ih danger that they may form hard dry hair balls in the Intestinal tracts of horses and mulew to which th?> hay Ih fed. Thene hair ballB, solid, compact felt-like structures, nearly always cause death, I.Oarly cutting, however, and Judicious mix ing with other hay will obviate thin difficulty to a great extent, and, un der any circumstances, cattle are rarely affected. Hy dairymen, crim son clover hay Ih considered a rough age teed fully equal if not superior., to either red or nlslke clover.. For early pasturing crimson clo ver Ik even more satisfactory, Its chief drawback being limited time in which It can be utilized for this purpose. This period, however, is ample to enable the ordinary grass | pastures to attain a growth which Will greatly Increase their carrying capacity later in the season. After The cattle are removed, the uneaten plants and the. manure left behind are ploughed under, the manure of course, forming a valuable addition j In the fort ill /.inn effect of the clov eiv As pasture.' hay or fertilizer, iht'tefore, crimson clover offers It self to farmers at a time when the, ordinary summer grown crops are not available. Incidentally. il shuold. be said, this clover is Valuable for poultry; A tubfiil of hand-cropped leaves thrown Into. the p<mlft"> \aid will provide the chicken*' with, the best possible green food at a season when eggs are ordinarily high and everything t ha.; ? promotes laying- is most welcome. Small patches ot crimson clover are, In tact, grown by poultry raisers for this purpose alone. Methods of growing the crop, the preparation of the seed bed, and the soils and sections best adapted to the purpose are discussed in a previous publication of the Depait menl of Ag'rleult are, Farmers' Bul letin 1)50, "Crimson Cloever-; ('.row ing the Crop." iu>th this bulletin and the new bulletin "Crimson Clo ver; Utilization", will be sent tree on request; < 1 Linden Tree Is 1.200 "Years Old.
