known. It will do better on moist land than any other vari- 
ety of clover, and is suitable for either hay or pasture. When 
sown with other grasses, it forms a thick undergrowth and 
greatly increases the yield. It is frequently sown both with 
Medium Red Clover and with Timothy, and the quality of 
hay thus produced is excellent. Finer and more leafy than 
Medium Red Clover and cattle prefer it. 
DWARF SWEET CLOVER 
Mostly White Blossoms—Grundy County Type 
A biennial sweet clover, mostly white blossom, that grows 
to the height of 314 to 5 feet. Low branching, has finer stems 
than other varieties and matures earlier. Sow 10 pounds 
of seed per acre. 
TALL SWEET CLOVER 
Mostly White Blossom 
Now grown on almost every farm in the Northwest for hay, 
pasture, seed and as a wonderful soil builder. Puts more nitro- 
gen in the soil per acre than 20 tons of barnyard manure. 
Makes pasture earlier than other crops and will keep stock 
in good condition until winter regardless of heat and drouth. 
Wornout fields soon become profitable where sweet clover 
is grown for pasture or plowed down while green. A biennial. 
SWEET CLOVER 
Yellow Blossom 
Not so prolific in growth as the white blossom type. From 
ten days to three weeks earlier. A biennial. 
TO FIND NUMBER OF TONS OF HAY IN 
LONG SQUARE STACKS 
RULE—Multiply the length in yards by the width in yards, 
and that by half the altitude in yards, and divide the product 
by 15. Example—How many tons in a stack 10 yards long, 
5 wide and 9 high? Process—10x5x414-225, divided by 15— 
15 tons. 
TO FIND THE NUMBER OF TONS OF HAY IN 
CIRCULAR STACK 
RULE—Multiply the square of the circumference in yards 
by four times the altitude in yards, and divide by 100, making 
the cubic yards in the stack. Then divide by 15 for the num- 
ber of tons. Example—How many tons of hay in a circular 
stack whose circumference at the base is 25 yards, and height 
9 yards? Process—25x25—625x35—22,500, divided by 11—225, 
divided by 15—15 tons. 
TO DETERMINE CAPACITY OF BINS, CRIBS, 
ETC., IN BUSHELS OF PRODUCTS 
Compute cubic feet by multiplying length by width by height 
for oblong or square bins, or 3.1416 by radius squared by 
height for cylindrical bins. Multiply by 4 and divide by 5 to 
find number of bushels. If corn is on the ear deduct 14 from 
the result.
