A farm advice note explains sowing dense clover on mellow soil yields a 10 to 12 quarts per acre stand, with silks 15 to 25 inches long, and up to three tons per acre per harvest. Two cuttings are possible in good seasons, with June clover favored for earlier, sturdier growth and reduced lodging. Poor land can improve with clover if sown densely and timely.

A Stoney Creek correspondent asks how to prevent plow rust. The article advises disassembling the plow, numbering parts, oiling with cod liver oil, storing in a dry moth-free place, securing tools in a wooden cask, drying thoroughly, and sealing in a tin or glass can.
