This clover is very popular as a soil builder, and for tem¬ 
porary pasture on land too poor for the better clovers. It 
will grow anywhere where the soil is not sour. When cut 
for hay, it makes but little second growth. Cut it high. 
Best pasture comes the second year. Do not plow it down 
the Spring after it is sown, until it has made a good growth. 
Produces a good stand on neutral well-drained soil. On 
poorer lands requires as much lime as alfalfa. 
If you need something to help out on pasture, sweet clover 
may make considerable good grazing after mid-Summer. 
For this purpose, seed alone early in the Spring on well- 
drained land that is not sour. 
Cows should be turned on second-year sweet clover when 
It is 6" to 10" high, depending on the soil, the size of the 
herd, and the acreage. It will sometimes carry 3 cows per 
acre from May to mid-Summer. Cows must be fenced in 
until they acquire a taste for it. Keep growth down to about 
a foot to promote branching and retard seeding. 
Give the cows plenty of water and some dry roughage. 
It is frequently a good plan to sow some Red or Alsike 
Clover along with the Sweet Clover until you are sure it 
will thrive. Sweet Clover is many times sown into corn at 
the last cultivation and pastured the following Summer, 
instead of putting the corn stubble in oats. It can then be 
plowed, and the ground put into wheat. This plan will 
succeed, especially during seasons of ample rainfall.
