A splendid article on the merits
of sweet clover as u pasture crop
for all classes of livestock appears
In a recent issue of the "Ollpull
Magazine" under the heading
"Hweet Clover The Wonder Crop"
which Is briefly summarised as fol
lows; Tho sweet clover plant has been
advanced from a despised weed to
a foremost place among legumin
ous crops for graaiug purposes. In
the eastern states whero great
losses aru often had from grass
hopper damage this plant Is prac
ticully immune from such attacks.
Hweet clover grows well under a
variety of soil conditions, making
desirable yields upon soils too poor
for tho successful production of
other crops.
Tho danger of bloat In livestock
while graslng on sweet clover pas
ture Is much less than that of other
leguminous plants, doubtless due
to tho fuel that the plant is unpal
atable at first and It takes some
little time for livestock to acquire
a liking for it, hence do not as a
rule gorge themselves when foedlng
on it. This condition Is likened to
some people who ure required -to
cultivate a taste for celery, as well
as green and ripe olives belore
they can be eaten with relish.
