Keyes, a prominent Scotch ;$herthorn•breeder, red clover a an important. crop on the farm. I •The•firat'crop is taken off early for ay or silage and the stand then al- lowed to grow up for seed production. When ensiling red -;clover, Mr....Keyes outs when the plants begin to blos` som. This year he started on June 0. The desired) acreage is-, mowed s he night before, raked first thing in the morning and ensiled as soon as possible. Sixty gallons of molasses were mixed with the tonnage of chop- ped clover required to fill eleven feet in a 12 -foot silo. "It is such hot stuff that I have been afraid to put it in our concrete silo, fearing that it might lift the cement. However, 1 am considering the use of tar paper on the inside of the silo walls," stated Mr. Keyes. The red clover cured for hay is left a week longer than for silage, until it matures beyond the real snappy ' stage. This summer he began cut- ting for hay around June 18. On his 350 acres, Mr. Keyes origin- ally had approximately 70 acres of red clover earmarked for seed pro- duction this year, but dry weather and pasture requirments cut the acreage to 55. This year a pea har- vester was used for cutting the red clover seed, which was then threshed with the combine. In previous years, the seed crop was cut with the mower, then raked in the morning of the day they planned to Idombine it. "We need the dew on it, when raking, to prevent . shelling." explained Mr. Keyes, who uses a pick-up attach- ment on the combine—the knife be- ing disconnected, and the mechanism used to operate the pick-up.. This acme plan has been adopted with barley, to prevent the grain frons spoiling.. The barley is swath- ed, and then threshed by combine.'

"OLD PRODS" WAS RIGHT—FIVE DOLLARS WORTH Ivan Paperniek is more than ever convinced that a shoemaker should stick to his last after an experience he had last Friday night. About 11 o'clock that night he was in "Moss" Robins' store talking over the events of the day when a fellow -countryman, Sidney Bacon, hero from England with the meteorological staff entered the store with "I,11 wager five dollars that it's going to rain inside half an Ihour:" Ivan, who loves a wager, went to the front door, :scanned the skies and returned' to say, "The bet's on." The twa men put up their money with Mr. Robins and waited, an eye on the clock. Twenty-five minutes passed and Mr. Paperniek was in high glee—but not for long. At twenty- seven minutes it began to sprinkle and at twenty-nine minutes it was pouring. The weather man collected the ten dollars and shortly after bid his friends good night. 1 Mr. Paperniek operated a dress shop in Clinton, about four years ago. —Goderich Signal -Star..
