Mammoth, or Sapling Clover—Is used mostly to plow under for fertilizing; sow 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. White Dutch Clover—Usually sown for cow and sheep pasture; also very fine for lawns. Sow 5 to 6 lbs. per acre. Alfalfa, or Lucerne Clover—It lasts from eight to ten years, as the roots penetrate from ten to fifteen feet in the ground. It requires a deep, porous soil, and the ground must be rolling to enable the water to pass off readily, for wet underground is fatal to the plant. The second year it may be cut two or three times, but the stand will not yet be dense. In the third year, however, it will be in its full vigor. Alfalfa may also be sown with oats. 15 lbs. per acre. Alsike, or Swedish Clover — Perfectly hardy, does not heave in winter or spring from frost; stands drouth well, and is in many re- spects superior to the common Red Clover. It affords a large return of hay; is excellent for soiling and unsurpassed for the honey bee. When the plant is once established, it will re- main for many years in full vigor. It is at its best in a moist situation and alluvial bottom soil. It certainly would pay any farmer to try it. Sow 5 to 6 lbs to the acre. Crimson Clover (Trifolium Incarnatum)— Is an annual, and if allowed to mature to cut for hay or seed, never start again, but when sown early in the fall, it will make a good growth and can be pastured without harm dur- ing the fall and winter and still make a good crop of hay or seed at the usual time. It is a very rank grower, some stools counting as mauy as 120 to 140 blossoms from one seed. It grows to the height of Z0 to 24 inches, ro
