Editor .Advance : Being one of the tirat to grow sweet clover as a tield crop, I thought perhaps some of your readers would like to know our itXperiences. We procured a bushel of the wh^ia (iowerc -1 sweet clover in the spring of 1914 and sowed it on four acres of what we consider th* poorett tield on the place. W'e got an excellent stand. We also sowed '.ro bushels of oats to the acre at the simatime. At harvest he sweet clover was Nearly as tall as Ihe oat>, some of it beiii(( over two feet h*nh. The stock ate the dtraw and seemed fond of it, and did wcX uu it with verf little grain. It caino through the wiirter well and m idu a very -vigorous gro«<l'li ill the spring of I'.IIS. When cut abiu*. the 2:h-d of June it was four teet hifb aad as thick at, it coiAu grow in places where the soil was ^ood. We cut it a* high us «o could *»;th the mower by lowering the shoes and tilting thu cutter bar up na high as we could, but w< we could not cut it above a branch a ^real deal of it died. Where we got it cut above a branch there wa* a very g>5od crop of «eed. We had eight good sized loads of hiy <itf the tii-M outiing, wktch the cattle and sheep and horses aC€ 'readily when they itot a | chance, although the haying thai seaaon was very wet the fir»t par*, of July. We cul the second crop with the binder about twelve inchea high about the '.ioth of l^ptember. We had six loads of sheaves which yielded sixteen bushels •' c eaned seed, and the cattle ate the straw of It in preference to i><M>d ont straw »nd did not leave any iiioie than enough for liedding. Ill the spriiis of IHlo w* sowed six acres more. We had a fairly good stand but not .-is ;;ood as 1!II4. The spring of IMlo IwiiiQ so Very wu', and the uiost of the six acrus being low and of a springy nature â€" »ue could hardiv walk acroee it up to the tirst of June â€" a 'great deal <>f the plants heaved out. but where there was an inch or two of the root left in the soil It continued to live but did not pi-o- duce much. We hiid three tuediuni sized loads of hay <>tf tha six *crei> and iu C>;tober we had four li.ajs cf sheavet off the secoud cutting, from which we have got 'J4 buvhels of good clean vee^l yxceii* there is a vn.-y little buukhorn in it. which is not a bad ward. ewelry A Splendid Stock from which you may readily make A Satisfactory Se lection.

F eiiy and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas daughter, wild have spent th.) winter with friend* and relatives here, returned I to their bono iu the Wesi on Monday, Feb. 1!».

Pai* of our prize tield of corn was grown that way. The rest wn» .seeded to common red clover, but ilw sweet clover would make the lav^i-si gn.iwth. I have nor known or heard of anyone wh" hits given it a tair trial i.< a tield cr.'p that doeb not .ipeak well iif if. The w )rsl fault I have to it is that it ha.s to be cut So oarly. The weather at ihaf time I'flcu is not the best for curing l^y pri'periy, allh- ii..-*i one can nenerally manage four or ii.e acres of it : .ind then it dividiM tlie h>yiup: so that it does not all cone in at once.
