In General Too Little Rather Than Too Much Is Put Into the Ground. Clover should invariably be sown in the spring and, under normal condi. tions, comparatively early. Broadcasting the seed and following with a harrow (ashcan frequently ad- vised and is successful In Minnesota during wet seasons and on heavy soils, but is often unsatisfactory in dry sea- sons and on light soils. Clover should not be sown too deeply, aud yet it is desirable to/ sow it sufficiently deep that it will neither blow out nor dry out easily. Under most conditions eith- er using the grass seed attachment to the drill or mixing the seed with the grain is to be recommended. Excellent stands of grass have been obtained by mixing the red clover with the grain and sowing the balance of the grass seed mixtures broadcast. If grass seed Is mixed with the grain and sown with a drill the drill should not be run more than from one to two inches deep. The amount of seed per acre will vary slightly with the method of seed- ing and the purity and germinating power of the seed. It is believed that in general too little rather than too much seed Is sown. If clover Is sown separately it should be at the rate of from eight to ten pounds of red or mammoth, from four to six of slsike and from three to four of white clover. -A. C.

N. W. TREWARTI1A, W. JERKIN$ Balance. For the Panel Gate. The ordinary panel gate made of 1 by 6 boards with one end swung on a crosspiece between two posts is so heavy that it is a strain on the whole body of a full grown man and a waste of strength, yet such gates will be used on many corn belt farms for years to come. Here is a good way to avoid this r .c it THIS TARES OFF THE STRAIN., strain. Nail a board to each side of the top rail of the stationary end of the gate, extending two and one-balf feet, as shown in the illustration, and bolt or nail the ends of these to one end of a 2 by 4 brace, the other end of which rests on a block nailed at the end of the bottom rail.. Then hang a weight at the end of your extension which will almost balance the weight of the gate. It Is well to fasten strap irons where the gate rests on its pivot board in or der to avoid wear. When this arrange- ment rrangement is made the strain of opening the gate is gone, and all you have to do is to guide the end around. LEGAL. NOTES. Breach of Warranty In Sale of a Horse. -A. buys from 11. a horse which B. represents is sound and a brood mare, but these representations do not prove true. What is A.'s rem- edy? In a majority of the states, includ- ing Pennsylvania, a buyer's proper remedy upon a breach of warranty is by an action for damages in which be. may recover the difference between the value of the horse in her actual condition and what she would have been worth if she had been as war- ranted. 1n some states, however, a' buyer is entitled, upon a breach of warral,ty, to return the horse: and re- cover the purchase money. Fruit Trees Overhanging Boundary. —Where a fruit tree grows on A.'e land, but the branches extend over the boundary line upon B. so as to shade and otherwise interfere with B.'s,en- joyment of his land,, has B. the right to cut .these overhanging branches? Also, does the fruit growing on the overhanging branches belong to B.? Since the entire trunks of the trees, grow on A.'s land, -'A. owns the trees, including the overhanging''branches and the fruit growing on them. To the extent, however, that the branches overhang B.'s land they constitute a nuisance. and B. has the legal right to abate the nuisance by trimming the branches off up to• the boundary line. When making a .written contract with a firm or corporation through Its agent do not rely upon an oral state• ment or promise of the agent when 11 differs from the written contract. Nobody Here!

STIR TUE LIVER UP BY THE USE OF Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills If the LIVER Is LAZY, Stow orToarm it is necessary to stimulate it by the use of a medicine that will clean away all the waste and poisonous matter from the system, and prevent as well as cure Constipation, Sick headache, Bilious- ness, Jaundice, Sour Stomach, Liver Complaint, and all sickness arising from a disordered condition of the Stomach, Liver and Bowels. Milburn's Taxa -Liver Pills are a specific for all these troubles, and have been used for close on to twenty years by many people for these complaints. Mr. Thomas Duesling, Waterford, Ont., writes:—"I was troubled with my stomach for twenty-five years. I doctored with doctors in Canada and Michigan, but got no relief. There was a friend in Michigan who advised me to • try your Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills, and I did so. I now feel like a new man, and I can't praise them enough to my fellow men." Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills are 25 -.ents per vial or 5 vials for $1.00. They are for sale at all dealers or mailed direct an receipt of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. Silage For the Bull. The feeding of corn silage judicious- ly to a herd bull does not injure his prepotency. It is true of corn silage as of any other food, if the. animal is overfed injury of one kind or another will result. Corn silage should pro- vide only a portion of the annual's ra- tion. All animals demand a certain amount of dry food doily, therefore hay should be fed in conjunction with silage for roughage. In addition to thls, especially in breeding season, the herd bull should have a light ration of foods conducive to the upbuilding of condition and stamina. Such foods are bran, oilmeal and ground oats. Where corn silage is fed as a small. portion of the ration for the purpose of: supplying succulence rather than food nutrients it is one of the most valuable feeds for all kinds of breeding animals. An Old Dairy Hint. Here are some dairy and other hints written for the Farmers' Almanac just a hundred years ago that sound right` up to date: Keep those cows which are forward with calf and feed them with good bay and a few potatoes once a day. Now and then sprinkle their hay with saltwater. All those little atten tions will make your cattle look bright and hearty.' A farmer's .barn ,should be kept as neat as a hostler's stable. His cattle should also be curried and trimmed, and there ought never to be any appearance of slovenliness or want of proper attention. We should admire' a neat husbandman as we do a neat housewife. If you attendto this part of my directions you will immediately see that all your farming tools are in order 'against the season for using Ehem.—Farm Journal PLANT ASSOCIATION. Especially Beneficial In. Case of Legu- minous Plants, It has long been known that some plants are benefited and some are in- jured by association. Association seems to be especially beneficial in case of leguminous plants (peas, clover, etc.) and cereals or grasses. Recent' investigations by the New York .Cor- nell and the New Jersey experiment stations throw new light on the rea- sons for this beneficial effect. It ap- pears that the leamnioous plants nal: only gather nitrogen from the atmos- phere by means of their root tubercle bacteria and are therefore able to make a large growth, but that some of the nitrogen so gathered is passed on to the grain, grass or other nonlegilml- nous plant associated with it, The result is n large growth of the nonlegume and also a higher content of protein or nitrogenous material, which considerably increases its value as food for stock. Such benefit bas been noted from the growth of clover and timothy, alfalfa and timothy and oats and peas.' Other combinations have not been studied. The increased growth of plants In combination over that of single crops, together with the improved composition of the former, has resulted in some eases in an in- crease of more than 30 per cent In the production of protein per acre. This increased value probably extends to the roots and stems left, in the soil and means much in the production of food for stock and in soil improvement. Cutworms Barred Out. Some gardens are so infested with cutworms that many gardeners have almost given up in despair. Here is a device that fools the cutworms. Take a piece of strong paper about sixteen inches long and five inches wide, cut slits inone edge about two inches deep and form in a hat shape as in A.

Meaning of the Designations Applied to ' Descent of Animals. • A pedigree is the record of the breed- ing of the animal. It gives the regis- tared name and registered number of the animal's ancestry for a considera- ble number of generations, says the Kansas Farmer. Pure bred animals are those only which have pedigrees. In the ease of dairy animals the offi- cial records of females are included in the pedigree. In the case of males the number of heifers attaining distinction in milk production are shown. In the case of both beef and dairy cattle the pedigree is not -only a certificate of pure breeding, but is an index to the breeding value of the animal by mak- ing a matter or record the accomplish- ments of the ancestry. A crossbred animal is the offspring of a pure bred sire of one breed and a pure bred dam of a different breed. Grade animals are usually those of which one of the parents is a pure bred and the other a "scrub," or at least an animal not pure bred. This is the gen- eral meaning. However, the offspring of grade parents would be a grade also. The term high grade applies to an animal from a pure bred sire and from a dam that has much pure blood.

This, however, is not usual.

The term high grade is usually used in connection with the systematic breed- ing up from common stock. Children Cry +� FOR FLETCHER'S •damAS.VY ,PR;),A, When Summer Stops the Swing Most of us can remember the school lesson in the law of accumulated motion—momentum. If you exert a pound of pressure against a man in a swing, you'll start him moving slowly "to and fro." If you continue to exert a pound of pres- sure against him every time the swing makes a trip, you'll soon have him going so high that he almost turns the whole circle. If you stop push- ing, ushing, the momentum will die out and the swing. come to rest at "dead centre." Winning trade follows the same natural laws. Advertisements are the force behind the swing of public favor. Each new advertisement increases the momentum. Finally, the accumulated' force of these numerous impulses swings indifference to the buying point. If you stop+Advertising, you lose momentum. The moral of which is: Don't stop the business swing in Summer. Keep adding the pounds of Advertising pressure.
