When clover Is sown early In tho spring on the crop of wheat or other winter grain It mny cost nothing but the price of the seed, which Is not much, whether ten or firteen pounds is used to the acre, nnd the labor of sow ing. Yet we would prefer to Increaso Its cost by going over the wheat with a light or smoothing hnrrow before sowing the clover seed. This will bene fit wheat or rye If done at the right time, when the ground Is not wet enough to cause the hnrrow to sink too deep nnd uproot the plants. Thl makes a good seed bed for the clover, and In a day or two after the first rain the little plants will be sending their roots down Into tlie sou. xei mcy 111 not ranke growth enough to Injure the train before It ripens, nnu wnen that Is taken off the clover will be bet ter looking and more valuable than the weeds that would be likely to take possession If the clover was not there.

All extra expense should be curtailed In this business as the Income conies In small amounts After a location Is settled upon a free range Is a necessity. That jives the uecded exercise, and prevents an accu wulatlon of lice. The next thing an adaptability to the business. If one cannot be coutent with small earnings and cannot save them as they come In be should not undertake the business. The poultry should be breeds that lay In winter, when eggs are high, If ono breeda fowls for the eggs.
