Curing Glover Hay.

Some facts about clover heating in
the NOV are little understood. The
feTmentlng clover is not becoming
Wetter, as the heating is only au effort
TO throw Oft SupertiuOuS moisture.
That 1t does not do this more perfectly
is owing to the fact that the heated air
from the NOV, when rising to the
surface, is cooled and condensed by the
cooler atmosphere outside In the mid
die of a hot day there will still be some
condensation OF moisture. Look at
your glover NOV early in the morning,
after cool night, ana you will find the
surface dripping with water. The
moisture falls back and trickles through
the NOW. Many d time when boy [
heard it said: There, throw that wet
fOrktul, OF wet bundle, on the top OF
the NOW where it will dry But | al
ways noticed that it never did dry, and
that under the wet bundle the grass or
grain would be almost rotten. The
reason why Is plain enough. The
remedy is to provide some dry, warm
substance, under which the Steam from
the NOW can pass away. If We could
have q stove on the NOW it would an
sWer the purpose, but Us We can not we
must provide some substance tuat is
at least dry, il not warm. Dry straw
is the very best cheap and easily OBJ
tanned substance that can be had.
Some farmers mix dry straw in layers
through the NOW In this way very

order. But howe much strawyOu
put in the NOW or stack, on no account

From the Lake Charles Echo, july ae. j

Since the late trouble and excitement
caused by the pronounced illegal cap
ture of the steam tug Alert, and the
arrest of her Capt. William Horne. for
non-forcible resistance to the e. S.
Marshal, and for instructions to the
same, which were, it appears, never
caused, Lake Charles has been favored
with short term OF enjoyable quiet.
Mr.. Gainey has not made occasion near
SO frequently as hitherto, to drive dash
ingly through the streets. The agent,
we understand, is on another pilgrim
age to the Mecca of his antieipations.
Whether or not the rebuke which the
public officers heve received at the
hands of pablio opinion was merited or
not, we forbeaT. yet a while, to say, as
the times are nos ripe for criticisms.
Hitherto we have scdulously avoided
expressing opinions as to the rights
of various claimants, inasmuch as we
knew not OF actual personal knowledge,
whether the sequestered property be-
longed to the government or to indiyi
duals, whatever may be our own con-
yictions on the question, or however
we'll they may be grounded. But we
have full faith in the final triumph of
right, and cheerfully bear record to the
uprightness OF our people as citiEens,
and their integrity as men OF business.
We owe much to Judge Chamberlain
for faithful and impartial discharge of
official duties, as, unfortunately for the
ends of Justice such men are none too
common. We are not little indebted
to Judge Hndspeth, and District At
torney perrodin, for their timely ap-
nearance upon the scene of confusion
and trouble, for We believe that their
presence blotted out all oppogtuties
Of misstatements of the facts, IS de-
yeloned in the ill-advised, perhaps
wanfon il not malicious proceeding
against Horne at the instance Of Gafney.
We are impatientlF anxious to reach
the conclusion OF our nePpleNlties-tO
find this official pall raised from the as-
Dhyxiated existence of our mercantile
interests, and still more solicitous are
we to see the old prestige OF character
preserved see our neighhors emerge
from fllis flood of unaeseTged
reproach, with unhlemished reputation,
and reviyified energies And, not doubt
ing their rectitude hope that they will
remain intact, bound together hy ties OF
interest and sympathy, and thus pass
braveIy through the present fiery ordeal.
