Tne vaiue of Scarlet Clover is now so thoroughly established that we have no hesitation in recommending that all lands from which crops have been 

 harvested during the summer and tall should be sown with Scarlet Cl'ver for plowing under the following spring. Authorities who have made a careful 

 estimate state that plowing under a good crop of Scarlet Clover is equivalent to 20 tons of stable manure per acre, and even when the clover be harvested or 

 pastured, the benefits derived from the wonderful nitrogenous root formation will alone many times repay the cost of seed and labur, 

 hay and fodder is superior lo that of Ked Clover, being more digestible and much richer in protein. 



It may be sown among corn, tomatoes, turnips, etc , at the time of last hoeing, or alter potatoes, melons, cucumbers, etc . have been harv-ested, or on 

 grain siubble and harrowed in^ When sown in July and Augu't. Dwarf Essex Rape may also be sown alon.g with it at the rate of 4 or 5 lbs. per acre tor
