Glover on the Farm.

NO other thing on the farm so thorough
ly marks the progress Of agriculture as
the rapidly increasing use eff red clover.
The two.fold benefits of clover are so
obviously manifest to every farmer that
the increase in its use is not surprising.
It's wonderful yield as a forage crop
makes it one of the most desirable to
raise, whether to be feed grean or cured
in the shape of rowen. So rapidly does
it grow that it is no uncommon thing to
cut three crops during single season ;
and no farmer ever expects to cut less
than two crops. Should the farmer
choose to turn the stock on the field 1t
seems almost to replace the days picking
by its growth at night. The better way
is to cut and feed it in the rack, and a
given amount Of ground will feed fully
twice as many cattle as when allowed to
roam over it.
A very important value of clover con.
sists, however, in its great efficiency as a
means of recuperating the land, and here
is the main evidence that it's increased
use shows al advanced stage in the
science of agriculture. First the use Of 4

Excess of Land.

The house has passed tn, important
Holman bill, relative to any excess there
may be in lands granted to railroads in
the indemnity limits after the grants
shall have been adjusted. In the pro-
gress of the adjustment of land grants,
especially in Minnesota, it is discovered
that there will be within indemnity
limits large excess beyond the amount
to which the railroad companies will be
entitled, which can be restored to the
public domain and be subject to pre-.
emption and homestead entry. The
question had arisen in the general land
office whether the secretary of the in
terror, in the absence of further specific
legislation, would have the right to re-
store by his own order such excess as
may be determined. Accordingly the
bill just passed was framed to give the
secretary Of the interior the authority
to restore such excess to the public do.

The Natural Gas Supply.

Selwynn Taylor, prominent local
mining engineer and coal expert, thinks
natural gas is giving out. lie says:
within two years at furthest coal lands
will be selling for what they were consid.
cred worth before natural gas was
thought of. This will be due largely to
the failure of the gas fields to supply the
demands made upon them. Gas, like
oil, will in time exhaust itself. New
fields may be opened, but taking all in all i,
l think the outlook for coal was never so
bright since natural gas came in use. 1t
is NOT published, but all the large gas
fields are playing out. Msrysville has
seen its best dsys, and all the wells In
the Beaver and Ohio Valleys arc going.
The prospects for fields large enough to
take their place in case of total failure
are not bright by any means. The big
natural.gas companies recognize this as
fact, and are expending thousands Of
dollars on a process for making fuel gas.
This is significant. In my judgement two
years will see m end to natural gas as a
fuel" This opinion has caused consider.

The Unnamed Disease.

Our readers well remember that about
one year ago the people of Montana, and
more especially the horse-growers and
farmers were wrought up to the highest
pitch of excitement over the existence
and ravages of what is known as the "un-
known" or unnamed horse disease"
Comm zncing about this date or little
later it laged until the cold weather set
in, and in some instances up to Christ
mas. battling the skill of our most learned
veterinarians and most practiced horse
men. 1t, was, however, confined to only
a few herds, but in these it seemed to
run its course, and it was impossible to
arrest it or to give relief to the afflicted
animal. Varied were the theories ad-
vanced as to its origin ard cause, yet it
was hard to tell if any were right, and
we gave the matter up at the time as
unfathomable. 1t was plain that it was
blood poisoning. Our veterinarians as
serted that much. But what caused it
was mystery. Slowly it was demon
strated that it was not contagious, nor
was there anything to indicate that it
wa, an epidemic. After long and care
full study of the subject and close inquiry
as TO all the circumstances in the matter
our correspondent, VIM. Flannery, Of
Ga!laiin county, advanced the theory
it was caused by the range. That the
rank growth of grass high up in the
mountains and the absence OF alkaline
licks the natural antidote, brought about
the disease, and we haye at length come
to the conclusion that he was nearer
correct than any one else, and the indi.
cations arc that his theory was absolute
ly correct. Only short time since we
received addional evidence on the SUBJ
ject. 1t was stated last fall that if the
malady was caused by the highland
range, P. D. Kenyon's herd on the oppo.
site side of our valley to Len. Lewis
would be afflicted also, but an examina-
tiop oft he range shows that while there
are numerous licks on the Upper Camas
creek (the Kenyon range), there are none
on Mr.. Lewis range in the vicinity of
the Black Sugar Loaf butte at the head
of Sheep creek. Another thing to
substantiate this theory is that Mr..
Lewis has kept his herd on his Beaver
creek range this season and has had
no loss. Another reason for giving
some credence to Mr.. Flannery elso is
that ]. T., Moore's herd, which runs
on the lower valley in the vicinity of
Mr.. Lewis home, was not at all affected.
IT mixed and mingled with Mr.. Lewis
herd except during the breeding season,
when the latter was kept upon the
Sheep creek high lands. Hence all
things considered we will accept Mr.,
Flannery's diagnosis as to the cause,
etc., of the disease until someone comes
to the front with more reasonable
! theory y.-Husbandman

W HAT AM I TO DO3

The symptoms of Biliousness are I'M.
happily but too we'll known. They differ
IN different individuals to some extent.
A Bilious man is seldom a breakfast
eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an
excellent appetite for liquids but none
for solids Of a morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at at any time;
If it is not white and furred, it is rough,
at ali events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrh@a or Constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate
There are often Hemorrhoids or even
loss of blood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or flatul.
ence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect

Farm Notes.

Allow the stock free access to salt at
this season, as i assists in counteracting
the effects of prass diet. Should scours
appear keep tlir stock up for day or
two and give each animal warm bran
mash. Salt is necessary at all seasons,
but more particularly in summer.
Work the cabbage plants often during
dry weather. Keep the surface stirred
and the top soil us Loose and fine as pos =
sible.
Do not hesitate to Use Paris green on
potatoe plants. Every beetle destroyed
reduces the number next year. The war
oi determination should not cease until
the beetles are extinct. One difficulty is
that if only few beetles appear no
thought is given the small damage that
may be done, Int the damage will be .en-
fold greater the following year. The
aim should be to destroy them, no mat.
ter how few the number
This is the season for growing root
crops. Beets. parsnips and carrots are
now well advanced, but they require
close attention in order to keep the row
clean. After each rain the ground should
be cultivated, and if grass has taken hold
between the plants it will pay to use the
hoe. By so doing the roots will be
larger, better in quality, and a fair yield
secured.
Autumn and winter dairying ought to
receive more attention from farmers,
At no season is the supply of really first
class butter equal to the demand, and
this is especially the case in winter time,
80 farmers will do well now to make
preparations for well-managed winter
dairy.
The Home and Farm gives the follow
ing novel method af making cabbage
head. 1t says that when the plants are
about eight inches high, and have form
ed woody stalks, make incisions in the
stalks with the the small blame off PEN
knife, insert small pieces OF wood of the
size of a match, and break them off. This
checks the growth. and hard heads will
be formed"
A New York farmer states that he
used only eoal-gas tar to prevent the
ravages of the potato beetle. He puts
gallon of tar in tub, over which he
pours boiling water, which is allowed to
settle and cool. This is sprinkled over
the vines with an ordinary sprinkler. A
gallon of tar costing rs cents suflices for
several acres ofpotatoes.
Diversified farming requires that after,
as producer, the farmer shall have got
the raw materials on hand, he must, as
manufacturer, convert his hay g rain, etc,
Thus his duties change. Now as a tiller
of the soil, now as stock feeder. To-
day as mechanic, tomorrow ns ply
sician, treating an ailing animal. Can
the education and training of such one
be too extended and general?
