The Northern Pacific.

The Northern Pacific road is still brave
ly marching on. It is now about seventy
five miles beyond Billings and is going to-
ward the setting sun at the rate of two
miles per day. By the middle of next
month it will have been extended to Ben
sons Landing, which is twenty-five miles
this side of Bozeman, lis miles west of
Billings. 1t is not expected that the work
on the Bozeman tunnel will be completed
before the middle of July next, but tenn
porary track, to accommodate travel for
the time Being, will be constructed over
the mountains. 1t is expected that the
branch to the Yellowstone park will be
built from Benson's Landing. The dis
lance from the main line at Benson to the
park, is seventy five miles. It is the in
tention of the managers of this road to
commence work on this park branch this
fall, and to urge forward the work
of construction as much as possible dur
ing the winter months, so that trains will
be sent to the park in the spring, ready
for the tourists who will undoubtedly
throng this route. Mr.. T. G. Hobart, for
merly superintendent of the Dakota divis-
ion of the Northern Pacific, has been
appointed managing director of the yell
lowstone Park Association and placed in
charge of the National Park branch of the
Northern Pacific road. and is expected to
reach his post about the first of next
month, when it is expected that he will
take such steps as in his judgment will
have tendency to complete the road to
the park. . So @a

The Value of Clover.

Glover is the great fertiizer-a fertilizer OF
magical power. Few farmers realize the
power and value of clover as a fertilizer
Shade is fertilizer of very great power, and
well-set field of clover if undisturbed by
stock, furnishes very thorough and com
plete shade. 1t grows luxuriously and
shades perfectly. The value of the stalk as
shade, and the value of the semi-d, composed
stalks as food for young and growing plants,
is very great, One variety Of vegetation, in
its decay, furnishes food and nourishment for
another.
1t is estimated that ON every wellset acre
OF clover, there are two and u half tons of
clover roots The long tap root of the clover
penetrates TO the sub soil or inches. The
atmosphere is loaded with fertilizers, which
are taken to the sub soil by the clover roots,
and these roots bring to the surface potash,
soda and 9TH r valuable fertilizers. In clay
soil there are large quantities ofpo ASH soda,
and other valuable fertilizers in the sub.soil,
which contribute materially to the develop
ment and perfection of vegetation. The sub
soil may be reached, and its fertilizers made
available to all cereal crops by clover roots,
by deep blowing and by subsoil blowing.
Clover is the cheapest of fertilizers A

lars, will SOW eight acres. The clover, if al
lowed to attain its full growth of stalk and
root, and to remain on the ground, is a valu-
able fertilizer. Whereas, to manure from the
barn yard, six cords to the acre, requires
three men, four horses and two wagons-a
man to load, a man to drive, and one TO scat.
ter the manure. Manure should be scattered
as hauled, In heaps it heats and loses its
strength.
Clover is beautiful crop. The eye of tho
farmer and of all lovers of the beautiful spar
ke with delight on seeing wellset field of
clover. Every one feels that clover is a great
fertilizer, and is sure indication of comfort
and prosperity.
Clover is valuable as II hay crop. One and
half or two tons of clover may be made to
the acre For f,ttening purposes, "timothy
is to clover as 1S is to A." Clover hay is
worth nearly double, SO say the best authori-
ties. After making small clover hay from
two to tour bushels of clover seed may be
made from the same acre in favorable sea.

The Best Time to Sell.

Without assuming to know more than
Others when the farmer should get rid of his
crops, and whether it is better to hold on to
them awaiting rise to what they are at any
one time selling at our idea has been to sell
us soon as the crops are ready for the market
for the best price that can be obtained for
them. We think it is even strange that
there should be any doubt about this, or that
any one who is asked for advice would hest.
tate moment what answer to make, for
there is no doubt in the world that as gen
eral rule, the man who turns his money round
the quickest makes money the fastest in the
long run, and this is as true in farming as in
any other pursuit Once in while one
makes more money by holding on; and in
theory in seems best to hold on. There are
always large number who must sell as soon
as Their crops are ready. They have to sell
for any price they can get in order to meet
accounts long since due. This rushing in of
crops has tendency, or ought to have, in
making low prices But this only theoretical.
II is found by experience that in commercial
phrase these anticipations are always dis
counted" Experience shows that there is
very rarely any greater stock in the grain
trade that finds its way into market than is
about in fair demand The only chance to
make much money by holding on is when
one has the means at hand 10 control largo
lots, and thus in measure be able to control
his own prices; but this happens so rarely
that it is consideration the average farmer

Among the numerous curious trfles that
adorn the writing table of the German EN-.

throne he has manifested Discrimination to
affiX his signature to sentences of death, and,
indeed, to any penal DEGREES of unusual Sc

ments are laid efore him by his Ministers of
State, he is accustomed to hide them away
under the helmet. 1t has frequently occurred
that officials, anxious to obtain his Maiesty's
sanction 10 the pronouncements Of the law,
but not venturing TO remind him Of his omis
sion to sign these papers, have awaited
themselves of his temporary absence from
his study to lift the casque and move the
documents in such sort that their edges have
slightly protruded from under the helmets

this hint has proved unavailing, for the En-
peror, as soon as he caught sight of the de-
tested papers peeping out from the place Of
their concealment, has quietly pushed them
hack again and foreborne ever thereafter
from making any allusion to the incident
In such cases the obnoxious documents have
been discreetly distracted and destroyed, il
being obvious that his Majesty would never
be induced to sign them.

How to Train q Colt to Harness.

Put on him an easy collar, having pair Of
reins attached, or add two pieces to lengthen
the traces, and let strong man walk be-
hind him, holding these. After few min
utes the leader may order the man to pull
the traces very gently, so as to press the col
lar but slightly at first. In little time he
may pull tighter, while the leader keeps his
eye on the colt, and if he shows any sign of
flinching, let him order the traces to be
slackened, and then gradually draw again
until the colt is seen 10 lean into his collar,
when the man who holds the traces may use
his whole force for a short time only. The
traces must now be slackened, and the same
course gone over repeatedly, but stopping
the colt occasionally to soothe him, taking
care, however, to slack the traces Just as he
stops, and to turn a little to one side when
starting each time, while the man pulls the
opposite trace.
After this exercise let him be taken to the
cart or other vehcefor which he is intended;
allow him TO smell and examine it; then
push it away and draw it up to him several
times, raising and lowering the shafts until
he takes notice of its noise, or of the different
appearances when raised and lowered. Now
turn him around and put him between the
shafts, rub them against his side or push back
and draw up the cart, stroking him behind
self to be knocked about by it," so to speak.
This will do for one days lesson. Next day
let all his harness be put on him, leaving
chains or straps to hang and strike against
him, while the whole of the previous days
lesson is gone through step by step. Same
on the third and fourth days. He may then
be yoked or hitched 10 the cart, and should
have at least one hours exercise in going up
and down hill, turning, etc. First start on
level ground If these directions are carried
out the colt learns that the cart he draws is
not meant to hurt him, and he will never try
to kick it away" or run Off from it,
Rules for training: 1. Never try to beat
colt into doing thing, or, if nervous he
may turn out a vicious horse, and if stupid
he may become stubborn. Remember that
by patience and gentleness he can be got to
do any thing that will not hurt him.
g. When the horse shows signs of shying
at an object, do not beat him, but lead him
up to il, allowing him to stand and look, as
he comes closer, and after he examines it
few times he will not fear anything of the
kind again. In passing by hedges with
colt, throw in stones and stop him until he
takes no notice of the noise.
g. Before putting on any article of har.
ness, let your colt smell it, and then rub it
against his head, neck, and body.
a. Always start horse with the voice,
not with the cut of the whip. In starting
turn little to one side, and in stopping
when going up hill, do the same.

No PLACE TO MOVE To The following
true story just reaches us: jamaica Plain
Republican told his wife, few days before
election, that if Massachusetts went Demo-
cratic he should leave the State; and added
that he meant it, too. Upon waking the
morning after election, he remarked that his
olfactories were not greeted with the usual
odors from the kitchen; and going to the
door, he called his wife TO inquire the cause
noting, at the same time, that preparations
to move were apparently going on down
stairs, She informed him quietly that the
State had gone Democratic, and he called
savagcly for paper that he might know the
worst 1t was brought to him. and he was
closeled with it for some time then, coming
to the door, he shouted to his wife: Get the
