duce a prop of well -matured seed. In-
stead of cutting the seoond crop for
hay, pasturing it or, as it frequently
happens, ploughing it under why not
allow this crop to mature and save
the seed from it?
By raising your own clover seenyou
sire obtaining seed from plants which,
by their very -existence, have de-
monstrated their adaptation to the
conditions prevailing,on your farm,
and in your immediate ideality, Such
seed, it is quite reasonable to suppose,
will produce plants which are equally
well adapted to local conditions. For
this reason home grown clover seed is
really More valuable than most of the
seed a obtainable though ordinary
_channels of commerce; •
Quite. often very poor -looking field
of second growth red clover will pro-
duce a profitable crop of seed, ,In
many cases fields where the clover is
quite thin and say only eight orten
inches high, will yield over 91e hun-
dred pounds of clean, well-maturea.
seed per acre. • Usually, however, an
average second growth will produce
anywhere from 150 to 250 pounds of
seed per acre.
The red clover seed crop should be
cut when the heads are dark brown in
color, and contain hard,gwell-develop-
ed seed. In harvesting all unneces-
sary handling should be avoided.
Rough handling, frequent turning, etc.
Where the crop is less than one foot
high it may be cut with an ordinary
mowing machine. It is usually advis-
abl'e to have two men follow the ma-
chine with hand•rakes and mpve each
swath out from the, standing crop a
few feet so that, on the next round,
the cut clover will be out of the way of
the horses- and machine. By follow-
ing this practice with short clover, a
great deal of seed will be saved that
would have otherwise be threshed by
the horses' ,feet, and therefore left in
the field.
Where clover is one foot or more an
height the most satisfactory implea
ment to use for cutting is the binder.
The cord•should be removed,and-the
spring on the knotter. slackened so
that'•,it will trip continuously. Usually
there are two boards that hold the
sheaf; these shluld also .be slackened
.so that the clover will have a"free
course tothe ground. In dropping
to the ground, the -seed, will not shell
and the crop will be left in loose
windrows where it, will dray quickly,
and can be easily gathered with a
barley fork.
The length of time that the clover
should remain in the field would de-
pend upon the weather. Generally
speaking the crop should be placed
in the mow or stack when dry enough
to keep well.- It can then be thresh-
ed when convenient!

The. Farm Where Father Was a Boy.
When father lived here on the farm --
Of; it was long ago!—
Could h -e have had the fun I have,
And known the things I know?
Why, I have seen 'a fox to -day,
Out on the pasture hill,.•
And caught three minnows in the brook
That flows below the mill.
And I know where wild cherries grow,
And where the wood grapes are,
And where the fern root is more sev'et
Than sugar is, by far.
And then I caught a firefly once,
And found what makes the light;
Aird once I heard an owl -"Wheel
Whoa!"
_Beside the road at night.
I almost caught a tilrtle, too,
- Down by the lily pond;
And, anyway, I saw a hawk •
Fly from the woods beyond.
When father Lived here on the farm,
So very long ago,
I wonder, if he had such fun
And knew thethings I know.
In haying time I helped a. lot!
I helped to rake the hay,
And high among the rafters climbed
To tread the load .way.
Then once we thought -a cow was lost;.
But Scotty found her track,
And how he ran! but it was dark
Before he brought her back.
And once—it frightened me a bit—
I found :a cave one day.
I•'m sure that pirates lived in it,
Or redskins hid away;
,Oh, every day brings something ne*•
For Scotty and for me—
A: thousand wondrous things to do,,
A thousand things to see!
Still, father only smiles and says
That very long ago
He had the selfsame fun I have
And knew the things I know.

ment for profit. •

February -hatched pullets, or those
brought out in early March; aro near
their laying age. The former, how-
ever, are apt to go into moult about
now, which will give them a tempor-
ary setback in their laying.
Hens are now entering into their
moult, which cuts down the supply of
eggs considerably. They are able to
lay a few eggs in the early stage of
moulting, but wi.en the task of grow-
ing the new;coat comes, it will'reauire
all the food and energy possible to do
the work properly, and ne material;
will be left to manufacture eggs. •
While moulting, hens should have
food of a nitrogenous, rather than car-
bonaceous nature. Oats and sunflow-
er -seed should be fed, and 'about five
pounds of linseed -meal should be ad-
ded to every 100 pounds of mash food.
Ii, feeding sunflower -seed give about
one-sixth the quantity of other grains
used.
Ducks should be turned into a new
run, and the old one sown to rye./his
will act as a disinfectant to the soil,
and the rye will- serve as a green
coop for their winter feeding.
Young turkeys that have survived
until now should be in good condition;
they have passed the critical age com-
mon to turkeys. As a rule very few
turkeys die from disease in the fall of
the year.
There is no better time than now
for a general cleaning up of houses

There are two -reasons why more
farms should maintain sheep, In the
first place, this country has for a num-
ber of years been producing only a
fraction of the wool it uses. Now,
with the foreign supply cut off, there
is a serious shortage. Moreover,
the demand ,,for meat has been such
that a g
ood price for mutton has pre-
vailed
for a long time. Logically, the
thing to do is remove the difficulties
that are a menace to sheep raising
and then begin establishing farm
,flocks.
In planning the sheep barn, alloev
ten or fifteen square feet of floor
space for each animal, Make the
doors upper -and lower. • Have four
square feet of glass' to 100 striae feet
of floor space. Arrange the win-
dows so the sunlight will strike the
floor.
Too many feeders entertain the idea
that n carcass needs only to bd fat
when they prepare their sheep for
market, It has been shown that the
lamb with several
inches of fat £
ails
to top the market, while half an inch
of fat makes a fine carcass. Young
lambs are .not, so likely to be •ovorfat,
but elder stuff must have a shorter
feeding period or less concentrates,

Which fastens him; there is little more

Here we plar<ed our stove and cooking

simple, consisting of a teakettle, a
large stew, kettle, a frying pan and a
large pail. Besides these, we have a
large cooking spoon, a soup dipper and
some other small dishes and pails.
Each child has his own cup and spoon.
The work is all done by committees
and the Children consider it a great
honor to be "appointed" on a commit-

of work to be done. As a rule, I

food materials. Our first attempt was vegetable
soup. We purchased a twenty-five
cent soup bone, which we cooked until
tender. The next morning before
school, the older girls prepared the
vegetables which had been brought
by the pupils. These were added to
the stock and '.allowed to- simmer all
