blame there is another matter quite
often overlooked, and a very import-
ant one at that. It is the matter of
t having and sowing only the best seed.
To -day our ablest authorities are
generally convinced that the best seed
to sow is seed that is acclimated to
• i � the locality, the ciilnate, and the soil.
; Other things being equal, this is the
seed that should give the best resents.

year as the- present one, •when home -
;grown clover seed is scarce, there is
sortie po.,sibility that such seed may
be offered for sale. It is a matter for
which the... farmer should be on the
lookout.
Inferior Feed, no ma=tter where
' grown,is a "
prior investment. In
*,rases the seeds are small, and the
amount of natural food available for
the sprouting plant is net big. A
shrunken seed possesses very little of
this, and is apt to possess little vital-
ity or vigor. Good, plump, well-de-
veloped seed is the best.
