This plant, it is claimed, w introduced into this country l'rc Japan, and was lirst noticetl South Carolina, but is now p< q fectly at home all over the Soul and as far West as Texas a North to the Ohio river. The clover in some of their i rieties are adapted to almost a soil where the plow can provi the means of human existen Were nature as thoughtless man, some portions of our Soul land would soon become, and fear remain, a desert waste, 1 nature is ever aiming to build and restore. As an example this, we might note the fact tl the Japanese clover, or as it commonly called, Lespediza,so' by no human hand, spreads on tho abandoned fields of the Soi: and restores the wastes of the c ton planter?the robber of t Southern soils. Lespediza is rati 4 slow to start in spring, maki little growth before June, 1 alter that time grows very rap Iv, and even on very poor la will furnish excellent grazi from July 1st until frost. Wh ~ it is an annual, it will perpctu: istelf without care. This pi si will furnish more good grn/.i and keep stock in better con tion on poor land than will a plant I have ever seen,and unli tlio other members of the elov i i:...

And another point in i favor as a grazing plant, it nov bloats animals as dons red clov / and alfalfa. The hay haw a great feeding value than red clov< an<l where known will demand better price than either tiinotl or bermuda hay. After Lospediza has gotten & start on poor land, and if lot alon it will in a short timo crowd o the weeds and other worthle plants, and whilo its growth ( II. this character of land will be low ii j [ and spreading, it will be thick v !

It is claimed by some writers 1< ; [ on the subject that Lespediza ii j J will rid land of broom sage, a \ \ While I have very serious doubts t || as to its ability to do this even on t <> rich land. 1 have seen it under fa- o <> vorable conditions crowd or shade ii it $ out bermuda grass and take full ^ possession in* less than three u years.?This plant is all'ected less I; if \ f by long drouths than is most of; O i the grazing plants. In seeding \ land to Lespediza,one-half bushel je seed per acre is ample. The seed's <I can be sown as early in spring as! l $ the danger of frost has passed, or' f vi> if preferred, the seed can be sown p on oal land in the fall. After the f; oats have been harvested in the'r \\ spring the Lespediza makes rapid \ ? ? growth, and in September or < )cto- n j [ ber a line crop of hay can be ,i < > mowed. t # i Pmill 14 4'!........... ?>1 A.UUIUJ At Viuuinuil ( At the last meeting of the Hoard ? irul ,rt|- of Trustees, authority was given < the head of the Department of f Agriculture to establish a poultry . on . 1 ^ divison, and the funds necessary , in . . ' , for that purpose were appropn- t I ated. Much of the material has j j already been purchased, and the \ work of constructing tlio yards ( will soon be commenced. 11 ra- 1 It is proposed to keep, for ac- ] curate comparison, a number of | broods most promising of success i in our climate : to test the use of i as , different thoroughbreds for im- ^ I proving the common stock; to ( . test different foods in their intlu- 1 rnt , 1 ence in egg production ; to de- | monstrate the profit of poultry , ^ keeping under judicious and , . economical management and . 18 ' teach the students the best breeds | >vn to keep for difienent purposes,and "?r the best methods of handling ith them. 1 This is a much needed addition < .j to the experiment work being I conducted at Clemson College. ler Poultry breeding is an industry < nS which is seriously neglected on < Jilt our fjirniH und vot. if i? rum r?f id- most profitable small industries i ml NV'lon ^ '8 given proper attention. ; Every family is interested in 1 " poultry keeping no matter how < i'e humble may be the home or how' ite contracted the premises. It is1] mt difficult to realize the fact that j ] i, ,r the poultry products of the lTnited|i j States tar exceed in value that of I j til , , , . the cotton crop, and yet such is , i nx i fact. It is hoped and believed m 1*1 I KO that the experiments made in this ] rer new division will excite new in i 1,(. terest in poultry amongst the J l>r farmers of the State and their ; wives, and add materially to the profits of the farm and the com 'b forts of our rural homes. ok; _ . . ? . 1 "r OA.STOXIIA. >??- 1 Tlifu 1,01 3?. to | I Sheep Husbandry. us ay Kditor Southern Farmer and lie Horticulturist: Iiy is it that its sheep husbandry receives so little or attention at the hands of the or Southern Farmer? Can it be that er it has been tried, and found unsr, profitable ? If so, there has been | < a something radically wrontr in the hy management, for t!ie conditions ' of soil and climate aro certainly ' a favorable for success. Abundant 10, evidence might be given of handuf some profits from individual ss flocks, and it seems so strange, )n i in this era of fierce competition ii every branch of agriculture, i'hen the necessity for diversifyng our products is apparent to 11, that our farmers should negsct a source of revenue involvug less labor and yielding larger nd surer returns in proportion 0 the capital invested, than anvhing else on the farm.
