.- WmDWB »y Henry Glendlnnlng, Manilla4 On.t Alsike clover la regardcd as a dmos bstvacn îthe ted and white or Dutch clav*rast iifrst tntréduccd Into Dritalnw from.the south of SWeden *bout fifty years ago, and bepgaiý ý6 at* tract attention ln this province about twenty years later as a valuable trop for ts seed which c6m~manded a high price. It was auso dlscovcred that Canadian seecf vas superior ta that ira- ported into Brktaln from any other country. The plant is ma perennial. but in thLs country it Lu generally trcated as a blennial. it wiII grow upon almoot any klnd of soil, but the beit results wili generally be obtained when grown on cle-in, rich, clay loamn, weil underdrained. 1 wish to em- phasize the word -clean," as this crop diflers much from red clover, as it makes a very poor cover crop to smothcr back any weeds that may gr:w in the land . Therefore, it is nec- essary to have the land as clean as possible to produce the highest grade of seed. The farmer should be caret-tii to get the best seed possible to sow; it should be large and plunip, free from ail other kiqt4 ef seed and particular care should bc takeri to see that it con- tains no white ciover. as much of the seed oflered for sale has a cor.sid- erable mixture cf the latter. So far no *machinery bai been invented that wil wholly separate those two kinds of seed being of the sanie shape, weight, and nearly of the sanie size. The seeding is usually donc in the spring, sowing the seed along with some kind of grain, or early in the spring on fal wheat or rye, then harrowing it in with a light harrow. It wili be found an advaatagc ta keep stock off the fields aiter harvest as it usualiv does flot get a very heavy top the first sea- son., The following spriug the land shoild be rolled as soon as dry. When the clover is in full bloom, it will be found profitable to go through the fields with a sharp sythe and cut off the heads of any timothy or high gRowing weeds that may bc found. Te proper time to cut the crop is when a majority of the heads wili strip easiiy off the stalk between the finger and thumb. A table is attached tô the rlnower, covered with a taise bottom raised a few inches made of strips to allow sheîled sced and chaif to fal through to the bottom below, while the bundles are. being raked off by hand. When the space below the siats is filed up the chaif and seed are rcmoved into bags. The seed obtain- ed from this chaif vili be found to be ot the finest quality. After the crop is cut kt phould be allowed ta lie until thoroughly drled. If it should get get wet with ran, do flot attempt ta ,turn the bundîcsu asthe heads yl l al off the staîksanad the seed wil chost. The wagon rack used for liauling ta the barn should bc closely covered with boards or strong canvas. The bundles shouid be picked up caiefully with barleyforks and placcd on the wagon. Do flot attempt to use a borse-rake ta put kt in vin rova or the bulk ai the seed will be sheiled off and If tvci or more quaiities of seed are grown sucb as may result from winter Lkiliag vhlcb shows weeds ta grow up in sucb places, it wili be fouud advis- able ta barvett thc crop in sucb a way tht different quaaites can bc threshed sepgrately. The reason for thia viii be obvious as tbe best seed viii be easily clcined if the -foregoing conditions have been attended ta. but wbere kt lam been vinter filed, foxtail and other veede are ikel>' ta graw up amonget the clover.

Red claver is 50 well kuown that ta give a detailed account of the harvest. ing and threshing o! k would be-super- fluotis. but one matter I vould ike to impreus upon my felîow farmers is the danger of purchasiflg the seeds ai weede along with claver seed, that were unknown o the majority o! tartn- ers a few years ago. Such weede as curled dock, English plantin, or ox- eye daisy. These seeda with the ex- ception of the latter, are difficult ta dlean out ai red ciover. Fartunately, large sections of the province are free f rom them, but farmers cannat be too careful in procuring seed ta saw an their farms. MARKETING. As ta marketing, I would say that Britain, and the continent a! Europe, are the markets for our surplus alike and the best sample af red claver. The margin between the price paid the tarmer here and that obtained ini Lan- don or Liverpool is camparatively smaiî when the amount af money iuivested and risk involved is considered. Us- uaîly the farmer viii do as weil, or bet- ter, with some local dealer lu his own section than looking for a market a distance tramn him. If a united effort were made' by aIl farmers growing either red or aisike claver seed tg pro- duce oniy the best, and in that vay irn- prove the standard of the seed export- ed, a better deLnand vould be created and better prices obtained for Canadiail clover seed.
