CLOVER FERTLIzER.-Two or even
three crops of small grain can be raised
in succession to advantage on any piece
of land, provided clover is sown with
every crop of small grain. Then crop
of clover is turned under for every crop
of small grain except the first, and upon
this hypothesis when farmer wants to
enrich his land or any one or more pie
ces, let him seed the land with small
grain for two or three years in succession,
always sowing clover in the spring and
ploughing in the fail, and then if he
chooses to put the land in corn he can
do SO for one, or even two seasons, and
then put it back in small grain and clo-
yer. After field has had clover sown
IN it for say six or eight seasons, it will
seed itself, and after every crop OF small
grain a crop cf clover will spring up from
the seed in the ground exposed TO the
action of the elements by ploughing for
the crop of small grain. Another fact
well known is that crop OF wheat grown
On fallow ground is greater and the grain
larger than that grown on corn ground.

WHEN small beets are boiled and cut
in slices and served IN saucers at din
ner, a great addition may be made by
slicing some boiled carrots with them.
DO not cook the carrots and beets to-
gether, but In separate kettles. Served
together each gains and neither loses.
Tnis is novel way of serving them.

To make an appetizing beef stew,
take out the bone and bind the piece es
of beef tightly, putting lemon, pared
and cut in two, and some herbs In be-
fore binding. Place it in as small q
etew-pan or kettle as will allow of its
being covered with water. Let it cook
slowly and gently; do not add any
water unless absolutely necessary.
Slice large onion and fry it brown.
and add to the water also any sliced
vegetables you choose; or cook the
vegetables in a kettle by themselves
and serve ON the platter with the beef.
If you do not add any water you will
have very rich gravy, and portion ot
it may be reserved for soup stock.

There is young lady in Madison
county, Georgia, who hasn's sufficient
courage to get married. She has tried
it several times, but when it comes to
stepping out onto the floor, her heart
fails her. Last Saturday everything
was ready, and she had resolved to do
or die. She went SO far as to prepare
the wedding feast, but as the time drew
near she became nervous and fed from
the house. Her affianced followed her,
and she wept on his neck bitterly and
chided herself for her weakness. AZ
ter telling him how much she loved
him she said she thought she could 60
through it. A preacher was summon
ed, but she weakened again before he
got there. She says she just becomes
panicky, and feels as if she would die
if she attempted to go through the
ordeal. She processes to love her
afianced better than her own life.

PANHANDLE NEWS.
From the Mobeetie Panhandle.

| From the Mobeetie Panhandle.
About three inches of snow reported
along the north line of the Panhandle,
Thursday morning Of last Weekday
day. Contemplate that! Whaugh! 1t
left before noon.
The Bugbee & Nelson herd of l, 100
passed here last Saturday going north,
and showed folks in the suburbs how
hearty steers act when they first behold
the scarecrow contrivances of civiliza-
ton.
Remarks on the bluegrass question
have caused observation, and patches of
it are found in many parts of the ranges
east and south. 1t is found most in
those parts most frequented by birds,
and from the groves and shinneries is
spreading to an extent that shows the
sell and climate well adapted to it. Of
course the theory is that the birds have
brought the seed from other parts. A
number of tufts of the genuine article
have been brought in and shown us
lately. We shall not dwell upon the
great Importance of this matter to our
country, where grass is king.
Several of our ranchmen have re-
marked upon the great rapidity with
which cattle are fattening this spring,
as compared with other years, notably
the last The winter just past cattle
in these parts remained in remarkably
good condition until the latter part of
February and fore part of March, when
they shrunk and gaunted very rapidly
They seem now to be regaining the
losses with like haste, and putting on
flesh surprisingly, which fact tells its
own tale of the condition of our ranges.
So far as the preliminary work has pro-
crossed, losses for the winter are report
ed as little more than nominal and con-
fined almost wholly to late through
stock and old cows. This latter state
Of affairs and the early market pros
pect cause genial cheerfulness over
the range.

At a recent term of the court at West
Las Animas, Colo, Judge Yeaman SEN
fenced eight Bent county cattle thieves
to the penitentiary, for terms ranging
from three to ten years. We don t
know whether this is owing to a lack of
delicacy as regards peoples feelings
over there, or whether it is because
prosecuting attorneys look after che
matter of having their witnesses in
court.

The Kinsley Irrigating Company in
forms US that they propose to push
their enterprise vigorously, both in ex-
tending water courses already commenc-

soil is now in fine condition for operat-

and we hope that the work will go on

Two ladies moving in the highest
circles in Dodge City society, during a
friendly meeting on the street, got to
quarreling about their age, and used
very strong language toward each other.
At last, as if to end the dispute, one of
them turned away and said in very
conciliatory tone of voice: 'sLet us
not quarrel over the matter any more.
l, at least, have not the heart to do it.
I never knew who my mother was, she
deserted me when baby, and who knows
but what you may have been the heart
less parent?'

INGALLS, LIQUOR BILL.

Our dispatches, Sc me days ago ar.
nounced the introduction Of an import
ant bill by Senator ingalls,, having for
its object the amendment of our eve sue
laws so as to prevent the issuance of
government license to deal in intoxica:.
ing liquors in states where the local law
prohibits the traffic. The Capital has
frequently called attention to this mat
ter because the operation Of the law
here in Kansas has been injurious to
the state and to individuals engaged in
the unlawful traffic. Many men that
did go into the business would not
have done so if there had been no law
authorizing government officers to sell
permits to deal in liquors.
Mr.. Ingalls, did much needed work
in the introduction of this bill, and the
Capital respectfully urges that action be
taken on it at an early day. The Sena-
tor favored us with a copy of the bill as
follows:
A bill to amend section thirty-two hun
dred and forty three Of the Revised
statues of the United States.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress as
sembled,
That section thirty-two hundred and
forty three of the revised statutes of
the United States, and the same is
hereby amended so as to read as fol-
lows:
"SEc. 3,243-No special tax shall
be received or permit or license granted
by any collector or internal revenue for
the carrying on any person or persons of
the business of wholesale liquor deal
or, retail liquor dealer, a brewer,
wholesale liquor dealer in malt liquors,
or retail liquor dealer in malt liquors,
when such business is contrary to the
law Of the state or mununcipality in
which such business is sought to be err
ried on; and the payment of any tax i'm
posed by the internal revenue laws for
carrying on any trade or business shall
not be held to exempt any person from
any penalty or punishment provided by
the laws Of any state for carrying On
the same in such state, or in any man
ncr to authorize the commencement or
continuance Of such trade or business
contrary to the laws of such state or in
places prohibited by municipal law; nor
shall the payment of any such tax b.
held to prohibit any state from placing
duty or tax On the same trade or
business, for state or other purposes;
and it shall be the duty Of any collector
of internal revenue upon request Of the
prosecuting attorney of any county in
said district to furnish to the said pros
ecuting attorney copies of any permits
issued for the sale of spirituous or malt
liquors, and for the carrying on of any
such business within the said county,
or information with reference thereto,
under such regulations as the Commits
sioner Of Intenal Revenue may pre-
scribe.
