SAVING CLOVER SEED.
How and when This Important Wori'
Should BE Done.

Should BE Done.
As is generally understood. II is only
the second crop of clover that, as 4
rule, bears enough seed to pay for har.
vesting for this purpose. Some pasture
the clover the first part of the season,
instead of cutting the crop for hay,
taking the stock off about the middle
of May or first of June, according to
season and latitude. Generally, how
ever, the first crop is cut. Often q
serious mistake is made by those who
wish to save crop of seed in letting
the first crop stand too long before cut
ting, as by so dong the plants are so
much exhausted in the effort of perfect
ing crop of seed that good second
crop can not he produced.
When the clover is to be cut for the
seed it should be done when about
three-fourths of the blossoms have be-
come brown. 1t is not necessary that
they all be brown. for the seed of the
unripened heads will mature after cut
ting. If let stand until all are Drowned
the first ripened will drop off in hand
ling and be lost.
The cutting may be done with a
scythe, mower or reaper. 1t is best,
however, to so cut it that it will be left
in lunches as thereby the handling is
facilitated. The crop will hardly be
50 dense that it needs to be spread out
in order that it may dry and cure. A
good implement for cutting seed clover
is an ordinary dropper. To prevent
the clover falling between the Stats
these may be covered with sheet iron.
After cutting it is allowed to lay until
perfectly dry. If it is rained on it will
not injure the seed, but make the
threshing easier; though if cured with
out rain the hay will be of value as
stock food after the seed has been re-
moved. As the seed is what is wanted
it is recommended that the clover be
cnt rather high, as by this means the
less valuable parts of the stems are
left on the ground to protect the roots
of the plants against the scorching sun
of the summer and frosts of winter,
and the farmer is saved handling SO
large bulk of straw.
The seed clings rather closely to the
ohaff, but if thoroughly dried it can be
threshed with fails. The best time
for this is in cold, dry weather in the
winter. Colnaan's Rural World.

An incident occurred in one OF the
large dry-goods shops in Boston the
other day, the consequences of which
are worth noting. A lady left upon =
counter . roll of bills, which the sales
man gave, with an account of the cir
cumstances, to one of the cashiers.
Shortly after man (who had probably
been an Observer) came up and claimed
the money, which was given to him; so
that when the rightful owner came a
little later there was nothing for her.
As the firm refused to acknowledge her
evident claim, she brought suit, and the
court gave decision in her favor

How Unitarian Missionary Made Most
Devoted Friend.
A story is told of the late Rev. Mr..
Dali, the Unitarian missionary to In
dia, which illustrates how he carried
Christian precepts into practice.
When he went to Baltimore as a
preacher he took house where the re
was a good opportunity for a garden.
and, being fond of flowers. he devoted
much leisure time to the cultivation OF
the little spot. A woman lived next
door who, for some reason, conceived
an intense dislike for her neighbor and
missed no opportunity to snnoy him.
Among other things. she persisted in
throwing refuse over the fence into
Mr.. Dalrs garden, greatly to its detri-
ment, despite his repeated protesta'
tions, couched in the friendliest words.
Mr.. Dall's garden, however. fiourished
and finally blossomed. Gathering ths
first flowers, which were exceptionally
beautiful, the minister made bouquet
went to his neighbor's door and asked
for the lady. She came with an aston
ished scowl. but when he, with friend
ly smile, extended his hand with th'
flowers, begging her to accept the mrs
products of his garden, she was takeI
aback. After that she was one OF Mr.
Dall's most devoted frisnds. IN Z
