Sowing Red Glover Seed.

Farmers differ as to the best time
for sowing red clover seed, as they
differ respecting the methods of doing
most other kinds of work. This vari-
ance of opinion is frequently caused
by the peculiarities Of location,
climate, etc. Many claim to get the
best results by sowing clever seed in
the spring while light snow is upon
the ground, and the reason of this
good success appear to be owing to the
certainty of the seed terminating at
that time, by not being buried too
deep, and by sinking into moist earth
through the action of the melting
snow where they take firm root
ing.
Theusual amount of seed sown per
acre is from four to eight quarts; the
exact quantity necessary to be used
can only be determined by the condi-
ton of the soil. Upon land that has
been plowed just before sowing, and
not narrowed fine, SIX or eight quarts
should be used, but when the ground
is prepared in the fall and the seed
sown upon a light snow IN the spring,
four quarts per acre Is sufficient.
Where permanent meadow IS deslr-
ed it is best TO SOW four quarts each
OF clover and timothy seed, for the
former will gradually die out, while
the latter will ramity, and form q
sod

Bismarck's Income.
Pail Mall Gazette.

The private affairs of public men do
not, in ordinary circumstances, form
suitable topics for newspaper com
ment. Prince Bismarck's affairs are,
however, just now excepted from the
rule; for, being deciding to purchase
for the German chancellor his ances-
trail estate at Schonhausen, in Alt
mark, a committee of his admiring
countrymen held an exhaustive in
auiry into his income and worldly
prosperity. The committees report,
which has been freely discussed in all
the German journals, states that before
the 1st Of April the princes landed
property consisted of the estate of
Vaizin, in Pomerani, and Friedrich
sruhe, in Lauenburg. Varzin, which
which comprises seven manors, or
ritterguter, was paid for out of grant
which was made 70 the Prussiap
chancellor in 1867; and Friedrich
sruhe is a national gift which has
made him later on. At Var2in the
prince has erected extensive paper
mills, and the value OF the estate has
lately much increased, owing to the
development OF the railways in POM
erania. The annual revenue from the
timber at FREDERICKSBURG amounts to-
about e4,009; the agricultural produce
OF the same estate is worth nearly
f1000; the farms at Varzin bring in
not less than el,50Q, those at Schon-
hansen will return at least Ct, 900, and
from his manufactures and other in
vestments the prince is suppose to de-
rive 600 In addition, he receives
as imperial chancellor a salary of
R2, 200 a year, and as late minister
to Lauenburg previous to It's incor-
poratou with Prussia a pension of
$3.50. Prince Bismarck's gross annual
income, therefore, reaches the com
Portable total of e20, 000-a sum which
in Germany is equal to at least $780,
600 in England-and he may be said
to owe almost every penny of it to the
gratitude of his country.

panies carrying insurance the heaviest
loser was the Phenix, of Brooklyn.
The other heavy losers were New York
companies.
on Sunday morning the city Of
Stevens Point, Wis, experienced a most
destructive confagration in the lumber
district. The fire breke out in Herren
g. Wadleigh's lumber-vard. Nearly all
their best lumber was piled on the north
SIDE of the Wisconsin Cenural and east
OF the Green Bay, 81. Pal and WiEona
railroad tracks, covering about two
blocks, in the center of which the fire
started. The one steamer and enc hand
engine, which comprise all the apparatus
in the city, were insufficient to cope
with the FIRE, and the entire square was
burned out. with about 5,000,60e feet of
lumber, 1,700, 600 shingles, and 100000
lath, all owned by Herren 81 Wadleigh,
except 500, 600 feet of lumber owned By
Robert Maine. on which there was an
insurance Of $500 in the Home of New
York. The immense lumber and shingle
sheds, sash and door buildings of Her
rem 81 Wadleigh were also swept away.
The loss Is estimated at 10000. AS Maj
Herren is in Chicago, and most of their
insurance was pls ced with agencies in
that city, the details can not be obtain
ed at this time. Three dwellings and
two barns belonging to other parties
were destroyed and several others dam
aged. The fire is supposed to have been
the work Of an incendiary.

COMMUNICATION STILL INTERRUPTED.
CHICAGO, May 5.-The Daily News
Winnipeg special says that communi~
cation with points north of Humboldt
are still interrupted, and that dis
patches from Middleton have to be
brought by a courier to Humboldt,
thus making the news several days
late. The latest dispatches FROM this
source state that the steamer North
cote has been extricated, and that she
reached Clarks crossing yesterday.
The message says further that
Middleton is now having plenty OF
ammunition and supplies. An adj
vance is likely to be made tomorrow.
1t is expected that the rebels will offer
battle at Batouche. Middleton has
two Calling guns with which be ex
poets to do deadly execution. News
of another battle is daily expected.
A BLOODY INDIAN WAR EXPECTED.
BArTLEFORD, May 6.--Further de-
tails of the engagement between Col.
Otter's forces and Chief Pound
makers Indians show that the fight
lasted seven hours. The Indians used
muSketS, war cluOS, spears, BOWS ana
arrows, and every conceivable weapon
of warfare. No mention is made in
the dispatches of the killed and
wounded Being brought back and it is
Judged from the hasty march back
that they were LETT behind. Nothing
but the last extremity would induce
Otter to leave them behind. No one
has any doubs now that bloody In
dian war will follow.
The Quappelle Indians are to-day
! reported to have risen and left the re-
serve. Crowfoot, chief of the Black
feet, is related to Poundmaker and
viii, it is said, join him against the
whites the dominion government
and Col. Otter are blamed for not
securing q ransom for factor Mclean
and other white captiges Of the In
dams before precipltating matters.
Positive advice from Clarke's crossing
to-day say that Middleton began his
advance this morning. A battle is
expected at Batech to morrow.

9 o'clock | was in my room directing
the work of my employees, of whom
there were 40, mostly women. The
first we heard of the accident was
when we heard crash, and this was
followed by part of the flooring Civ
ing way. In one corner of my room
there was a ladder leading to the roof
and all the employees made rush fol
it.
Inefe was panic among the
women for a time and two or three oil
them tainted but the foreman soon
succeeded in restoring order and then
in single file the employees climbed the
ladder and gained the roof of the ad
joining building which was not in

scending a fire escape.
