Clover.

Even in an alfalfa country it is sometimes desirable to grow some clover both as a change of feed and to lengthen out the hay-cutting season. If clover-is to endure, however, it must not be allowed to go to seed, as its nature is to fall thereafter. The second crop Is often better pastured than to cut the bay as green as must be the case If none of it is to go to seed. A good top cover Is a good thing to protect clover from sudden thaws In winter and early spring, which will leave it out. A good mulch of manure is also a great help and there is no better place to apply manure than on clover. A goodyworking with renovator farrow or disc should do clover as much good as alfalfa.
