Clover Causes Slobbering.

There is in all clovers more or less of a principle that tends to cause slobbering in horses. It is now believed that this principle is more largely found in the seeds than in other parts of the plants. It is not probable that there will be any difficulty in using the hay if the crimson clover is cut before the seed is fully formed. 81nce crimson clover seeds abundantly at the first blossoming, it is more likely to give trouble than, the ordinary red clover, which seeds very little or not at all at the first blooming.—Troy (N.
