Other hay crops are -better suited and are more dencndablé in some. cases and under particular scil conditions. Alsike sour and moist soils than common red olover ,and the two mixed tomether and rseeded alone would fail. Redtop is the best wet-land grass and on such land a mixture of redton meadow fescue and alsike clover usually ‘gives good returns. ‘While no hay grasses can be depended upon to make a commercial crop on’ poor land, redtop, orchard grass ard tall oats- arg facts diseussed in detail in Farmers’ Palletin 1170, Meadows for the Northern States, just iseued and readv for distribu- tion bv the United States Department of Agriculture.

Eihty- three per cent. of this acreawa is seeded to timothy and clover mixed. While these two r'rats undouhtedly will con- tinue to hold the popularity they now possess, thers are a number of other plantg which, thouch not go well known, are more desirable for particular pur- | COWPEAS FOR WAY, hay is an excellent forage for all kinds of stock. Even the straw ob- tained from threshing the peas for seed 18 @ valuable stock feed. As a rule, cow- peas should not be cut for hay before the pods begin to, furn yellow. The best quality is produced and the hay -cures most readiiy if the vines are cut when most of the pods are full grown and a considerable part of them matured. 1f cut before this stage the vines are wn- | tery, and difficult to cure ,whi'e if left too late before cutting there will be an unnecessary jos& of leaves in handling, | and the stems will be tough and wondy.
