Oh the subject of the division of the

pecially so far as it concerns the News.

THE proposition TO build sewers for
the city, to cost $4,000, will be voted
upon on Saturday, March %. The
question has been very literally dis
cussed in all the city papers through the
medium of correspondence, and many
arguments for and against the proposed
improvement have been advanced. 1t
is noticeable fact that every one has
conceded the necessity of the sewers and
the great advantage to be derived from
them, and the only objection made is the
natural one of cost, and the chances of n
job in the expenditure of so large sum
of money. This is an error caused by
prejudice more than fact. The plans
and specifications call for specified kinds
of work, and the estimate is made on
what the work will cost, as has been
established in that class, and it is an
unjust aspersion upon the city admins
tration that they will in any particular
squander the money thus appropriated
in the support of rings or jobs. The
Mayor and the members of the City
Council are among the best men in the
city. They are honored and trusted in
their private life, and their honesty and
integrity has never been questioned, and
it is not probable that they, individually
or collectively, will lend themselves to
any scheme that will deprive the city,
or the people, of the full value for every
dollar appropriated towards the sewer
improvements.

Much of the farmers profits lies in his
ability to get his crops on the market in
goOd'shape and at the right time, 1t may
seem to some to be a trifling matter that
any time should be spent in making arti-
Giles for market more attractive than they
usually are, but it pays. Good fruit, for
instance, honestly put up will always find
a market where the opposite would find
none. 1t is told of the eminent fruit Gull
turist, Mr.. P T. Quinn, that when he first
began to ship fruit to market he was care
less in putting it up. A commission dealer
repacked for him barrel Of pears which
were soon sold to a customer who came
along for $12, whereas So could not be got
for the same fruit as put up by Mr.. Quinn.
The point is, quantity of fruit is judged
by the poorest specimens rather than the
best, the poorer bringing the better to its
level.
When tosell is also important. In or
der to know about this one needs to keep
the run of the markets. Better take fair
price, perhaps in your way OF thinking a
low one, for your wheat or your corn,
rather than store it in bins subject to
waste by vermin. Remember, also, the
interest of the money goes to waste with
the grain Maryland Farmer.

thoroughly angered as he sat up close to

just as the train was pulling into

there were four old men on their feet in a

The VaIue of Glover.

Clover as manure acts in several ways
As shade it imparts nitrogen to the soil
and when a crop OF it is turned under be.
sides the fertilizing elements it has a me-
chanical effect. This does more than
make the land work easily; it enables the
roots of other plants to penetrate the soil
and find food which they otherwise would
be unable to reach. 1t furnishes humus
which has other value in the soil besides
supplying plant food, its dark color max
ing the soil warmer. 1t also gives the
soil greater power Of retaining water and
of absorbing moisture and ammonia from
the air.
Clover not only produces an abundant
growth of great manurlal value above the
surface, but also one of still greater value
beneath. The large fleshy roots OF the
clover, as they decay in the soil, yield
both humus and ammonia. The roots OF
the clover run deep, pores are created for
imbibing a greater quantity of atmOs-
pheric elements of growth and bringing
up mineral matter from below; the adj
vantages arising from this process are not
to be disregarded by the farmer.-T. d.
b., in the Prairie Farmer.
