The Grand Army men of Salt Lake are
making extensive preparations to enter
tain their comrades who may stop at that
point en- route to the National Encamp-
ment at San Francisco. When the Grand
Army men at any point start out to do
anything. no matter at what part Of the
country, they never do it by halves. For
this reason those who stop at the citadel
of Mormondom may rest assured of re-
ceiving a royal welcome and being shown
all that is worth seeing.

The French War Secretary the next time
he is challenged should name bean shooters

courage to decline to fight. Duels in that
country are always as lacking in the prln-

bank is of money, after the defaulting
cashier has absconded.

ONCE in a while it does every American
good to look at the statistics OF various
kinds which are so laboriously gathered by
the plodders in that direction. Take, for
instance, railroads.. The latest reliable
data goes to show the wonderful superb
GRITTY of the United States over the rest OF
the world, and it will prove that advance
ment in that as in every other line is the
rule. The figures in brief are as follows !:
The aggregate length Of railroads Of the
world in 1884, as shown by official stats.
tics, wal $780, $50 miles, OF which no less
62,788 miles have been opened since 1879.
At the close OF 1884 Europe had 1T, 1894
miles; America, La, 73s; Asia, 12,757;
Australia, 7,4S6; and Africa. 4,O75. In
1880 America had but very few moro miles
Of railroad than Europe; four years later,
however, it had 31,O44 miles more
than Europe, and of the total in
crease of 62, 78S miles in that four years,
more than two-thirds was in this country.
The vast territory OF Asia has only
about Is many miles of railroad as the
single State Of Illinois, and seven-eights OF
this is in the English dependency, India.
In Europe nearly one-fourth of the rail-
roads built since 1880 were in France,
which has increased it's mileage 8, 221 miles,
or 1872 per cent in the four years. In
America there were but Is, miles of
railroad outside the United States at the
end of 1880, and this had increased at the
end of 1884; s,252 miles, or 54k per cent,
to 23,437. Mexico gained most, but
Canada was close behind. Elsewhere in
America the new construction amounted
to but 1920 miles, of which ], S1O miles
were in Brazil and 1,1O6 in the Argentine
Republic. In South America altogether
there were but 9,515 miles of railroad at
the end of 1884, 3,071 miles of which had
been opened since 1SSO-an increase of
nearly SO per cent. Calculation shows that
the $780, ESQ miles of railroad in the
world no less than 174,016, or so per cent,
are in English speaking countries.

Clover Fertilizing.

Glover is, without doubt the best
means Of making and keeping soil fer
tile. How it can best be used tor this
purpose is an important question. Glover
as green manure is necessarily coupled
with exhaustive grain cropping. which
takes from the soil plant food nearly or
quite as rapidly as it is placed in It..
Wherever clover is plowed under the
Use of the land is lost for one year.
This almost neces>itates growing and
selling all the grain possible. If clover
can be probably fed to stock it will be
possible also to feed much of the coarse
grain, and this, with the W, rking up Of
straw as bedding, will make large
amoung Of very rich manure. Farmers
must sell something to defray necessary
expenses. II clover cannot be turned
INTO money, all the more grain must be
sold, and thus much of the benefit from
growing clover will be lost.
Growing clover for feeding, both for
its nutrive and manurial value, is stead
lily growing in favor. Cloyer will not
yield as many tons of forage as will corn
fodder, though on rich soil AMI with
several cuttings large amounts have
been produced. But it makes alone a
more nearly perfect ration than corn,
and is valuable for suppIementing corn,
whose excess of starch and deficiency
in albuminoids is one OF tho greatest
drawbacks to its use Clover With corn
fodder is great Improvement for any
kind of stock. 1t is this deficiency in
albuminoids in corn that will cause
hogs fed on this grain to eat grecdily
of clover grass, or even clover hay,
when the green heritage cannot be had.
But it is in the manure pile that the
advantage from feeding cl"ver is most
apparent Glover hay makes a much
richer manure than corn, richer by two
thirds than timothy or other grasses,
and richer even than oats or wheat. By
careiuIly.prepartd tables it is shown
that ton Of clover hay is worth for
manure S9.64, Of meadow hay $6.43,
corn meal S6.65, wheat sos and oats
$40. Only leguminous grains, beans
and peas make richer manure than
clover hay, and they are more expensive
to grow for feeding.
When we feed clover on the farm we
must still leave in the soil where it, grew
great mass of roots rich in manurial
value 1t is here that the renovating
power of clover is most evident. Where
the increase of fertility is one Of .he
main objects in growing clover, the
mammoth variety is always preferable.
1t is later in ripening, and though too
coarse for profitable pasturing. will be
eaten clean in cold weather, if used as
it should be, with other food of more
purely carbonaceous character. If fed
alone the coarser parts will be rejected
though even then they will not be lost
as their manurlal value is equal to and
often greater than their price on the
farm 1t is surprisin. that clover hay
is so cheap as it usually is away from
markets. Probably with little look ~
around it might be bought by many
farmers in their own neihborhoods, and
by feeding it out the fertility of the
farms to which it is brought can be in.
creased more cheaply than by purchas
ing artificial fertilizers.
