While the Importation of unadapted Italian red clover has been almost entirely stopped, and an ample supply of domestic and Imported red clovers of proved hardiness Is assured, experiment stations have examined the merits of all clovers, recognizing that under some conditions of soil and climate other nitrogen-secretinlegumes may give better results. Experiments have been made by the Connecticut experiment station which are summarized In a recent bulletin analyzing the respective merits of red clover and alsike as follows: Withstands Freezing. "A larger proportion of alsike Is being grown, It may be, because of Its withstanding freezing, wet, and acid soils better than red clover. Alsike makes a finer hay than red, but does not yield quite as well, neither does It produce as large a second crop. It frequently lives for several years while red seldom lives for more than two years. However, It cannot he counted upon for more than two seasons. A1 slke should be used exclusively on soils which are Inclined to be wet but a mixture of red and nlsike Is best where both wet and dry conditions exist. Advantages of Red. Red clover has longer roots than alsike, hence It Is better adapted to Bolls which may become droughty. It matures about two weeks earlier than either alsike clover or timothy. This Is a disadvantage with mixed hay, but an advantage frequently with pure red c lover as the harvesting can be started early. The larger second growth of red clover Is of particular advantage ns It comes at a time when pasture Is bndly needed. This last factor lias been particularly emplinslzed through the Middle West during the long dry spell of the past summer. g Watch Closely Lambs to Be Fattened for Market Western lambs, which nre to he be should market, watched closely when put into the feed lot. It will take a few days to get them accustomed to their new conditions, and especially to get them started right on their feed. Too much grain at the start limy result In death of some of the lambs. Until all the lambs become accustomed to eating grain, only a small quantity of concentrates should be supplied as there Is the danger that some of the lambs will eat an excess of grain. Alfalfa bay Is valuable for fattening lambs, but at the start It Is safer to give them some prairie bay, ftraw or fodder in addition to alfalfa. for fattened unfrozen, heavy egg production during winter months. The fowl which la a heavy layer must he active, and hens of this type consume a relatively large amount of water. One of the surest methods of providing plenty of water fa to supply It at least twice a day. If the water freezes in the vessel this frozen mass should be thawed out and the vessel cleaned before the fresh water Is put Into the vessel. Another advantage' of giving fresh water, like giving fresh feed, Is that it encourages the liens to drink. If the water vessel is put on a raised stand It will aid in keeping trash and dust out of the water and will therefore provide a more sanitary water supply. Such a stand can be easily constructed by anyone who is bandy with tools. The essentials IHte a place for the vessel holding the water and a platform for hens to stand upon while drinking, A good many watering devices are on tho market, many of which contain a small electric light or small lamp to prevent the water from freezing. All of these nre helpful In getting the liens to consume a large quantity of water. Home-maddevices are often constructed on the same principles. Where something of this kind Is not used It Is essential that the chickens he furnished fresh water at least twice a day during cold weather. hardy neg-chil- Doans , Say These Good People: MRS.
