Yellow Sweet Clover According to R. L. Snodgrass, in Gleanings, the time to sow sweet clover in Kansas is any time between Dec. 1 and Feb. 1, as the seed germinates best if it freezes a few times in the ground. He values especially the yellow variety, as will be seen by the following: There is no other clover that is sucli a soil-reno\ater as sweet clover. I have been pasturing my clover ever since one month after I cut llie wheat. When I turned my cows on it they doubled the flow of milk, and it is still green as it can be at this writ- ing. Dec. ^. and my cows are still grazing on it—the white clover. I have also a i5-acre tield of the yellow variety on rented ground that is about one foot high, and just as green as in mid-summer. I haven't turned the stock on this yet, bvit expect to do so soon. I prefer the yellow variety to the white, as it is an earlier bloomer and makes more pas- ture, as it will stand closer grazing. The hay is also much finer, and cures more quickly, and therefore is ready to stack much sooner than the white; and I believe, too. that the stock eat it more readily. Now. the most important feature of it all is that it is an earlier bloomer by 2 or 3 weeks than the white, or alfalfa either, and conse- quently it puts the bees in good condition for the alfalfa honey-flow; and if the first crop of alfalfa fails to bloom, as is usual in Kansas, the yellow sweet clover lasts until the second crop of alfalfa is in full bloom.
