came up in ten days, but the white showed no life. 

 On page 828, June 15, 1907, J. A. Green says the white 

 hulled seed came up very promptly, while the yellow 

 unhulled came up best the following spring. 1 

 think our combined experience shows that hulled 

 sweet clover seed of either variety will germinate 

 just as quickly as alfalfa, alsike, or any of the clover 

 family, while the unhulled seed requires six months, 

 or time to rot the hull before it comes up, thereby 

 removing the bar that has been following sweet clover 

 that is, that it invariably takes six months to 

 germinate. 



As clover honey granulates quite readily the 

 apiarist is fortunate if he lives where gallberry 

 (holly), mountain sage, or snowdrop grows. The 

 snowdrop grows on the open hills or in dense forest 

 growth in my locality. It is a fine-growing shrub, 

 never over four feet high, with a small pink bell- 

 shaped flower that produces an abundance of water- 

 white honey in June. The seed is produced in white 

 berries that hang on all winter. I have a bottle 

 of this honey mixed with clover three years old that 

 has frozen repeatedly, and has just commenced to 

 granulate. P. F. GEORGE.

Sweet-clover Notes from Dr. C. C. Miller, 

 Marengo, 111. 



Last summer our cow-pasture was, perhaps, one- 

 fourth covered with sweet clover. It grew rank, but 

 the cow didn't seem to care for it. Still, there was 

 so much of it that it would hardly be noticed if she 

 ate quite a bit. But the grass was also luxuriant 

 and abundant, and she evidently preferred that. By 

 and by there came a dry time, a very dry time, and 

 pastures were brown. Then it was that the sweet 

 clover showed its value. It remained cheerfully green 

 while the grass about it was dry and parched. It 

 had, however, run up to six feet and more in height;
