The Truth About Sweet Clover - Its Value For Honey, For Plowing Under, As A Fertilizer Of The Soil, And Food For Horses, Cattle, Swine, Sheep, Etc; ... Introduction Of Nitrogen-gathering Bacteria

by Amos Ives Root

This text comprises a compilation of articles that have appeared in 'Gleamings in Bee Culture' from 1905 to 1914, as well as clippings from various agricultural periodicals from far and wide. It provides information chiefly on the sweet-clover plant, and offers comments and observations on its value for honey, for plowing under, as a fertiliser of the soil, and as food for horses, cattle, swine, sheep... and more. Much of the information contained herein is timeless, and will be of as much use to the modern farmer as it was to those contemporary with the original publication of this volume. The chapters of this text 'Instructions for sweet-clover Growing', 'Testimonials from all over the World in Regard to the Value of the Sweet-clover Plant', 'Increasing the Pasturage by Sowing Sweet Clover', 'Frank Cloverdale's Experiments and Experiences', etcetera. This antique book was originally published in 1918, and we are proud to be republishing it here complete with a new introduction on farming.
