CLOVER CULTURE 



ly with heavy cattle, the compression of the soil by their weight 

 will narrow the slough, and when this process has been begun 

 it is practicable to sow the red, mammoth and white clovers. 

 In this way the unsightly sloughs which disfigure a great part 

 of the Western country, may be converted into meadows, to 

 the profit of the farmer and a great improvement in the ap- 

 pearance of the farm.
