Experimenting With Glover.

The bulletin of the Pennsylvania State
Agricultural Experiment Station gives
the results of important and careful ex-
periments made during the past season
not only in the mode of growing clover
but the time of moving. Analyses
showing the various proportions of nu-
triton ut different stages are given, and
valuable information is impaired to
those farmers who make clover a spe-
cialty in the course of rotation of crops,
The results show that the yield of green
crop is greatest on highly-manured soil,
but it contains q larger proportion of
water, though the relative proportions
of all constituents of nutrition are in the
dry product, This demonstrates that
by the use of manure not only is the
yield greater, but there is also q more
uniform proportion of those substances
composing the nutritious matter. In
the earlier stages of growth the proper
ton of heterogeneous and ash (mineraD
material is greater than at later stage,
when the carbonaceous materials be-
come relatively more abundant. To ex-
plain this result 1t is not out of place to
state That as the nltrogenouS ana MINER
al matter is more abundant in the early
growth the proper time to cut the crop
If it be desired for the purpose of
promoting growth of bone and muscle,
as for Young stock-is before ii will have
passed blooming; but if intended to as
sist in the fattenng of stock The clover
should be cut in its later stages.
After the heads shall have begun to
brown there will be loss of the tend
ercr parts and also of tho
dry substance, as well as of
the heterogeneous matter of the
leaves, which will be converted into
fiber, the consequence being that the
less valuable and less desirable mater
ials will increase, while the more valu-
able and more dgestible will decrease,
the nutritive ratio of all the ingredients
OF the crop widening. The experiment.

Coin Collectors.

An interested correspondent writes
us a letter asking us if we know of any
"large private collection of coins in
Boston," and also would you be so kind
as to give us the names of few large
coin collectors in New York City,"
We think the writer must be a stranger
to Boston. or she would know that the
chief object of a majority of Boston's
residents is collecting 'coin.' All our
merchants and tradesmen, bankers.
brokers, SIX He'd workmen and laborers,
pass most of their time in trying TO
collect coin. Many of them, we are
glad to say, have been very successful.
some having collections that amount
to a large fortune.
As to New York, we presume the
same is true there. Perhaps the most
successful coin collector in Gotham is
Jay Gould, now on brief vacation to
Europe, but still in business. After
him comes the thousands of "opera-
tors on Wall Street, the real estate
men, the bankers, the railroad and
trust" kings and the innumerable
multitude who are in the business.
II is easy enough to find coin collectors
in any city or town i'm the country, and
our correspondent ought 20 know it.
What we are all searching for is q man
who freely dispenses coin. He is the
rarity, and the man worth looking up.
If only this man could be found the
coin collecting business would take a
big ''boom. boston Close.

A Chinese Farce.

The hero, sea captain. comes in
but he is heavy with sleep. his head
soon droops, and he falls into peace
full slumber. But scarcely has his nap
begun when he is disturbed by the hasty
entrance of q breathless fellow, who
begins, with an air of great conse-
quence. to pant out Il long tale of not
the slightest Importance. The captain
listens for time with wde-Opened
eyes, but when he finds that the story
has settled down into an uninterrupted
sing-song which shows no prospect of
reaching an early conclusion, he tries
to break the thread of the narrative.
All in vain for the tedious fellow re-
presses his Interruptions with IL depre-
catory wave of his hand, and goes on
in his monotonous way. with head
thrown back and eyes half closed, in
an ecstacy of delight at having secured
a listener. After time the captain,
submitting to the inevitable, adopts
the wisest course in the circumstances
and doZed off to sleep again. The boar
is so satisfied with himself and so en-
crossed in his tale that he never no.
tices, and still goes on, see-saw, sing
song. with never stop till the audi
ence. or at least one of them, grows as
weary as the captain. But a mysteri-
Gus avenger is at hand. A lmping
ghost of horrible appearance, who re-
members his own suffering on earth,
happens i'm unseen TO bcfriend the cap
tain. He squats silently behind the
chair of the story-tcler, holding the
club he carries in readiness TO strike,
while that worthy is 0till quite UNI
consciously jabbering his INTERN nable
nonsence. Once the club is raised
threateningly over him. and twice, and
yet he goes on; then a laundering
stroke descends on his shoulders which
stops his voice so suddenly that it
leaves him with an open mouth in the
middle of a word. In comical terror
he gazes about in vain attempts TO find
out whence the blow came, then in
amazement scizcs the sleeper and
rouses him TO tell of this terrible new
affair. But the captain listens with
hazy inattention, evidently thinking
it some more of the same tale, and
dozes off again immed lately. The
boar abandoned now to the tender
mercies of the spectre, runs hither and
thither in horror. adopting first one
plan and then another, 20 discover or
avoid his invisible assailant; but the
ghost crawls after him wherever he
goes, now clubbing, now clutching
him. until at last the poor wretch
makes his escape half dead with fright,
and the captain is left to sleep in peace,
while the ghost curls up by his side like
faithful dog whose labors are done.

al crop was at the rate of p, 900 pounds
per acre, over one-half having been OBJ
tanned from the first cutting. and near
ly one-fourth from the second and the
same from the third moving. The
opinion was expressed that good
stand on rich ground should give if-
teen tons of green clover per acre, if the
first moving be done early, so as TO
give two additional cuttings. An acre
of full bloom clover on June Is, 1886,
produced II, 500 pounds of green food,
and, as comparison. an acre of full
bloom that was moved in former year
gave 1901 pounds of cured hay. From
the above it appears that not only will
heavy manuring increase the quality of
the food, but the greatest benefit will be
derived before the heads shall have
turned brown. - cincinnati Enquirer.

Jamaica Ginger for Restless Owls

Jamaica Ginger for Restless Owls.
A rural friend of mine. who enjoys
trifling with old superstitions, has
pair of owls which he keeps on his
piazza summer and winter, and enjoys
the strange noises which they make at
night, but instead of attributing them
to weird influences assumes that they
are due to hunger or indigestion on the
part of the birds of wisdom. At all
events, he claims that by supplying the
owls with raw meat and Jamaica

Mr.. Lamar's Big Heart.

Washington special 10 Philadelphia Ledger.l
Senator Edmunds and Justice Lamar
met. for the first time since the former
tried to defeat the latter's confirmation,
at the Thursday reception at the White
House. They col!ided at the entrance
Of the Green Room, and those who stood
around and knew how bitterly Edmunds
had fought the nomination wondered
what would happen. Arepetition Of the
scene that oo urred when Blaine and Ed
munds met at the funeral OF President
Arthur was expected, but it did not
come. Justice Lamar is too much
of a gentleman. The two men
shook hands as cordially as ever
and chatted for a while in the best
of temper. A few moments after n
friend who met the Senator remarked :
ard like to know what you said to
Lamar and what he said to you when You
met over there" There was nothing
of extraordinary brilliancy or interest
said on either side" answered the Sen
stor. "But what was it ?" persisted the
friend. "Well, if you insist upon know
ing, | remarked to him, How dye do 2
He replied, How dye do 2 and that
was about all the conversation. As
Lamar expected all tho time that Ed
munds would oppose him he has no feel
ing on the subject, and said the other day
that he could forgive every one OF his
enemies with full heart.

DASvrLLE, VA, March 6.-The grand
jury to-day indicted Mrs. Lizzie How
ard, OF North Danville, for the murder
of her unnamed child, and bench war
rant was ordered to be issued for her
arrest.
All of the negroes arrested short time
past for robbing the tobacco-bsrn OF Mr..
Il. G.. Coleman, of Pittsylvania county,
were tried in the Hastings Court to-day.
One received four years and the other
two one year each in the penitentiary.
Tie tobacco breaks were quite large
to-day. the receipts of leaf tobacco having
been very heavy. More animation was
shown than has been visible for several
days. Buyers were eager to purchase,
aud consequently the prices were shade
better on all grades.
1t looks as though Danyille will have
tobacco exposition next fall and make
space for other exhibits. The commit
tee OF thirteen called for by the citizens
meeting Monday have been named and
they will hold n meeting tomorrow to
formulate plans, &c, aud submit the
same to mass-meeting Monday next.
The officers were busy to-day finding
owners OF the iewelry stolen by thieves
short while back. One or two negroes
were taken up to-day charged with COM
plicity in the robbery Of Frickers iewelry
store.
