David Davis Wealth.

lam told that Judge Davis wealth
was not SO great as generally supposed.
1t has been said at different times that
mis- property was worth three or four
millions. Twas talking recently witt
a gentleman from Bloomington who
had abundant opportunity to k,:o"
the exact condition of the Judges -s-
tate, and he said to me: II do not be.
lieve the property of Judge Davis will
vary S5O,OcG from an estimated ap-
praisal of SS5O.OOO. His possessions
were principally in improved Illinois
farm ands. He owned $500 acres OF
land lin the township surrounding
Bloomington. He had in all about r..
600 acres of Illinois land, principally
in the counties of Dewitt, Mclean
and Macon. He had several thousand
acres of wild land in Iowa and Mis-
souri,, and about 100000 of property
in Chicago. The value of Chicago
property IS always difficult to asccr-
tain, but l think 100000 will cover
it. t."-"Nan about 10wn," in n T.

on my couch l suddenly felt great
weakness creeping over me. l tried to
call for help. My mouth refused to
articulate any sound. A moment after
had entered into trance like the one
had had in Italy. When my friends
came into my room they found me
pale and motionless. They felt my
heart, but its pulsations could not be
felt, and they cOnjectured that must
have passed away during their absence
from my bedside. l could hear them
walking about my couch, but was 80

WHITE CLOVER.
Very Useful Plant Which Is Not Appre-

Very Useful Plant Which Is Not Appre-
ciated by American Farmers.
White clover receives a good deal of
abuse. probably because it is friend
which. without asking, is constantly
doing us q gratuitous service. If it
needed much labor and cost to grow q
crop of It. it might be thought as much
of as red clover, which is more highly
considered than any other agriculture,
plant, and justly so, but 1t costs good
deal nevertheless. No one takes any
trouble to grow white clover. 1t comes
up in the pastures without our seeding,
and when the ground is we'll covered
with it we shall see the cows staying
where it is thickest. and coming home
with full udders of rich milk as long
as they can. fill their bellies with it
When we come to study into the Pc
culiarities of this modest, but useful
plant we find that it by no means indi-
Gates poor soil, as the common weeds
do, but that to grow luxuriantly it
needs supply of elements of fertility,
as potash, lime and phOsphoric acid, in
even greater supply than red clover
does. Its feeding value of course is
equally high. for the value of any
plant may be accurately judged by
what it takes from the soil. The farm
er who has noticed how the milk pail
overfows and the cream jar is filed
when the cows are upon white clover.
will not want to ask the chemist
for any recommendation of this
plant, which he will accept upon its
merits. Why. then, should white clover
be so badly spoken of? Many farmers
and more writer's in agricultural jour
mails speak i'll of this plant. 1t may be
because it is pest in the garden, in
the strawberry beds more particularly.
and it is thought to run out red clover.
The last charge is the most base and
baseless of all. For, instead of run
ming out red clover, it carefully covers
up its dead remains, and, like loving
friend, spreads itself over its grave and
shelters it, meanwhile offering itself as
a very acceptable and long-lived sub
stitute for this short-lived plant. II
there is one plant more than any other
which tho farmer should take to his
heart and cherish it is white clover. 1t
is worth many times as much as alfalfa,
about which writer's are setting farmers
wild with misplaced anxiety and envy.
1t is an excellent pasture plant. and we
want pasture plants more than any
thing else. 1t is a good hay plant.
especially when growing with grass.
affording a thick. close bottom. which
greatly adds to the yield of hay. 1t
springs up from its creeping perennial
root at once after emitting, and its roots

thistle and fill up vacant spaces among
the grass. When it is treated as it de-
serves and is top-dressed with plaster.
superphosphate or manure it will thrive
abundantly and make growth which
will surprise those who never thought
of it except as weed to be desPised.
II is called Dutch clover, and this is q
great credit to it, for we know nothing
but good of every thing we have on
Dutch origin, including Dutch farmers.
