Raise the Crops Rest Suited to Your latitude.?Value of Peas and Reans Grown. K. \V. Chalmers, Knst Sound, Washington, wants to know, tlrst. it' rod clover is as good as crimson for cow feed (cured), and will it help tho soil as much? The rod driver grows to perfection, he savs, in his locality. Ry all means st uid hv the red clover, as it crows well lur vnii mim! ithe best erop to grow in rotation, ami will mak(> more hav per acre. as you can cut it twice in a season, probably. It will do your land more good during the two seasons il sh old grow (ban tl?o crimson clover doe* in the short time it occupies the land. The tap rooted red clover is a deeper feeder. You say a neighbor has tried crimson clover and had poor sue cess. So much the more reason why you should stand by what you know is all right. The great value of crimson clover is its ability to grow in the Full and early Spring in a suitable latitude, where the Winters are short and the Fall is not too dry. Sown in corn, for example, under the above cireeinstances, to occup\ lam! that would otherwise he bare during the Winter, it is exceedingly valuable. It covers the land, prevents leachinu, and nations nitrogen fr< tn the ui A!! this ptiid enmes without the loss < !' the ?i-?? nt the land a sea son: and aliout tin same answer may he urivmi to your <|nestion alioot Canadian peas and cow peas. The former are lor the North, the colder climates. The cow pea is a bean, really, and is most Valuable 1:1 the South, ?l though early varieties are raised as far North as < Miio with r? asonable success. In a more northern latitude the Canadian peas are more suitable crop. I do not 111111 k there is otien any tiling Rallied by trying to grow a crop very much out ol tli** latitude where it thriven best. As the 1\ 1"'. goes everywhere all crops are advocated, but the reader should use his judgment about moving them very much out of their natural /one. You speak of your young cattle picking out the pea straw and eating that first when it is fed w ith oat straw, t ?f course tliev will, because it contains much the most growing material, even if the peas were allowed to ripen ami were all taken out. The great want of the growing amtna's is material to make blood and muscle. Straw, hav, cornstalks, etc., furnish abundance of the heat and force forming eh-no-nis. .Nature teaches the young annuals t<? grab for something i i make blood when t hey ca n g< ! i?.
