SOWING CLOVER.
The Advantage of Growing This Plant or
Farms Devoted to the Cultivation Of
Cereals.

The Advantage of Growing This Plant on
Farms Devoted to the Cultivation Of
Cereals.
Experience and science are agreed in
regard to the advantages of growing rs
much clover as possible on all farms
where wheat, barley, oats and other
cereals are the man object of the agri-
culturist. As long rs land will grow
good crops of clover. we need not fear
exhaustion Of the soil. But clover Off
en- fails, and the evil is increasing. In
many cases this is due to the officially
of getting good catch" The seed
fails to germinate. Occasionally this is
attributable to poor seed. 1t is much
more likely. however, that the trouble
Is in the soil. The longer ouc soils are
cultivated, and especially when little
manure is used, or green crops plowed
under, the poorer the soil becomes in
organic matter. We see no special
d minution in the yield of gram crops.
This is because we cultivate bester-but
at the same time there can be no doub.
that the mechanical condition of the
soil is less favorable for the termination
of small seed, like clover The soil is
hard and the surface less mellow and
loose than when it was full of decaying
leaves and other organic matter.
When we sow clover and grass seed
on spring crops where the land has been
recently plowed or cultivated and har-
rowed, the soil is. or may b., sufficient
" fine, most and mellow to insure the
termination of the seed. But when the
seed is sOwn in the spring. on wiSter
wheat or winter rye, the soil is often as
hard and dry on the surface rs Il barn
floor. In such case narrowing before
or after sowing the seed is decidedly
advantageous We might harrow b.
fore sowing the seed and roll after
wards.
MANY Of our farmers sow timothy
Grass seed with the wheat in the au-
tumn. AMI the clover in the sprng. In
such case narrowing is apt to pull up
Or smother some OF the young grass
plants, and the only means likely to in
sure a good catch Of clover is early sow
ing. in such a case, the old practice
of sowing in the spring, when there is
q light covering of snow On the ground
or when the soil is frozen hard enough
to allow the sower to walk comfortably
over it, IS q good One. When the frost
is out of the ground or the snow dis
appears, the clover seed will sink into
the soft soil and germinate. Our own
practice is to sow about six quarts Of
clover seed and four quarts of timothy
seed per acre. Many sow less clover
seed and more timothy seed. Much de-
ponds on the condition of tho land

A LITTLE CHILD.

Down from the hill. up from the glen,
With waving flags and warlike din.
They rushed-two troops of mounted men
The boys In blue, the boys i'm gray;
And they had almost met that day,
When, 10! child stood in the way.
Its hands were flied with fow'rs: its eyea,
as clear and soft as summer skies,
Were opened wide in grave surprise.
Upon the pretty baby head
The sun a golden blessing shed.
81 want mamma" the sweet voice said.
Both Captains shouted: Haiti" The men
Refined in their eager steeds, and then
The blue leaped down and up again,
And galloping like mad, he bore
The child he'd grasped a mile or moro
Back to it's mothers cottage door.
Loud rose the cheers from blue and gray
As smiipgly they turned away:
There was no battle fought that day!

KING MTESA.

The Most Notable Potentate of Purely
Native Origin Produced by the Dark
Continent.
The King of Uganda, whose death we
announced on Wednesday, was. for
Area, n remarkable man, probably the
most notable potcntate of purely native
origin that the dark continent has pro-
duced. According to the estimate of
Colonel Grant, who. with Spoke, was
his guest twenty-three years ago. Mtesl
was probably not more than forty-eight
years of age at the time of his death,
and, having succeeded his father. Suna.
IN 1857, he has re;gned twenty-eight
gears. The Waganda have the names
Of thirty-tive Kings who have reigned
down to the time of MESA in regu ar
succession, and, us Colonel Grant points
out, may probably account for the
"blue blood and vanity which certain
ly ran in the We Ms of Mtesa. This van
ity comes out in all the narratives we
have from foreign yisitOrs-Speke AMI
Grant. Stanley, and Wilson and Felkin.
1t was excusable in q potentate who
had probably never been n hundred
miles from home, and who had never
come into contact with any greater
power than his own. to send ambassa-
doris TO the Queen Of England, and to
believe their reports of the insigniiicance
of the British Empire as compared with
Uganda. Probably, however, no other
native African Prince. not even the
Muata Janvo himself. had been able to
organize state SO completely and
make 50 great an advance toward civ
ilizat on as the King who has just died
and his predecessors. Colonel Grant,.

The Room i'm Which She President Dreams
After His Days Duties Are Over.
President Cleveland moved at once,
on taking possession of the White
House, into his predecessor beautiful
blue bedroom. The opposite room, in
which President Garfield was i'll SO long,
and which was President and Mrs.
Hayes bedroom is occupied by Miss
Cleveland. Except Arthur and Cleve-
land, no Presidents have occupied the
room which is now the bcd-chamber' OF
the latter, and from December. 1881,
until he moved out of the White House,
last week. was the bed room of the
former. The other Presidents, includ-
ing Grant, Hayes and Garfield, usually
slept in the opposite room, which, be-
ing on the south side of the mansion, is
sunny in winter and has n breeze in
summer During President Grants adj
mimistration. until her marriage, Miss
Nellie Grant slept in the room President
Cleveland now has, and during the
HAYES adm nistration his niece, Miss
Plat, used it until her marriage. When
President Arthur selected it in the au-
tumn of 1881 for his bed-chamber it was
superbly fitted up before he moved into
it. 1t has the furniture all upho, stored
in ''baby blue satin damask with
faint gold flower wrought in it. The
curtains at the windows and those be-
meath the lace canopy over the bed are
of the same material, and there
is also lounge covered with the
same, which looks Just fit for a
lady's boudoir. Even tie wood
work around doors and windows was
painted blue for President Arthur. The
chamber-sct is handsome black walnut.
and includes a tall chest of drawers.
Over the bed is lightly thrown an elder.
down quilt, one SIDE of which is sky
blue silk and the other deep rose color.
On the blue side are worked in co.ors
