Mr. Andrew Lytle, who reside near Prlne

day evening, having come to town with a load
of tne Fall clip of hla wool to sell, and to pur
chase his stores for the winter. Mr. Lvtle in
form us that he haa aheared his sheep both in
the Spring and Fall for several years, and he
finds that bis sheep do batter, and that thoy
produce at lout two pounds of wool per head
moro than when sheared only onco in tbo
Spring.
Two crops of wool and a gain of at least
v3',i percent. Is something to bo considered,
aud wo would suggest to our wool growers
to isko mo mattor in hand and oxporimcul
ior themselves. Another thing, by shearing

Clover and Alfalfa.
IlUTTlfviM.K, Nov. Hi, 1677.
In tho Spring of 1S70 I sowed about
an aero of aiiaiiasoLit wiiii oats, ino
ground had been broken about 8 Inches
deep and had Intel two crops taken oil'
It. At harvest time I noticed scatter
ing bunches of red clover, which look
ed very well, but tho alfalfa looked very
poor. In tho harvest of 1877 1 cut over
tho ground again, the clover Wits still
ahead, by at least ono hundred percent.
I also sovvoi alfalfa on burnt grouuti In
March 1877 and sowed souio retl clover,
tho clover taking the lead in this cao
its much as it did in thu other. Some
of my neighbors havo tried it with no
better success. Mr. Charles Cluggett,
who llvos four inllos north of Salem,
told mo that ho had tried it and failed.
My oxperlonco Is that red clover is tho
best for pasturo of all tho grasses I havo
aeon. I. 13. Jackson-
Alfalfa a Failure in Washington Territory.
An inquiring farmer in nn artlclo in
tho WlLLAMKTTK FAKMKIt of Oct. 2d,
desires to know nil about alfalfa. In
answer to his inquiry, I would sny,
that I havo sown it both Spring nud
Fall and havo not been able to roalizo
anything from elthor sowing, hut a
moit luxuriant crop of wild mustard.
That which I sowed In tho Fall was
principally nil winter-killed, and tho
fow stalks that wero not klllod by tho
frost in iho Winter, only survived to
dio in tho Summer; and what I sowed
tu tho Spring, proved an equal failure.
I sowed It in different kinds or soil, but
all with tho same result, and henco I
conclude that our soil Is too moist and
cold for alfalfa to flourish to any extent.
