The Kind of Cow to Bry.

! Beware of the COW or heifer with a
masculine head, as well as the COW sus-
'piciously fat The latter is probably
fat because she is shy breeder and
has calf only once in awhile. Buy the
cow with the motberly look. We can
not describe it in words, but every man
who has his cyes open knows the ex-
preston of maternity or motherliness.
She may be thin in flesh, not half SC
good looking as others, but it is simply
because she has been duplicating her.
self regularly, and thus fulfilling he
mission. Ii she has the form and the
breeding and good, lusty calves to her
credit, buy her. Don't buy the long
legged thin-chested, consumptive-
looking animal under any circum-
stances, nc matter what the breeding.

THE CHEAPEST MANURE.

Glover in Rotation Leaves Land Richer
Than 1t Was Before.
We are asked: "What is clover rota-
tion?" 1t is a rotation of crops in
which clover occupies the land for one
or two years. The crops in use to form
the rotation are corn, potatoes, oats,
rye, wheat, barley, roots and some
times others. A common rotation in
the next year, rye or wheat sowed in
the fall and seeded to clover on this.
The clover remains one or two years
and is then plowed under and the land
planted to corn and potatoes again. A
quicker rotation is to seed in the
spring with oats. Potatoes or roots
may follow corn for year, then the
land may be eded with oats. The
clover seed is sown directly after the
oats and brushed in or rolled. Thick
seeding should generally be practiced.
In the south, where protection is
needed on the ground in winter, oats
may be sown in the fall, plowed under
in the spring and the land planted to
corn or cotton. The COW pea here
takes the place of clover at the north,
but unlike it, will grow on poor soils.
The peas are sown in the spring in
drills and may be harvested for a fodder
crop in the summer, or be turned under
as green manure when well up, or
even allowed to rot on the land. In the
west the rotation is shorter and is gen.
orally corn, followed by spring wheat,
or oats, and then winter wheat and
seeded to clover. In sections where
wheat is not grown the seeding is
done with oats. 1t is a bad practice to
follow corn with corn or wheat with
wheat, for year after year. This will
soon run out the best land, and clover
should come in at least once in every
five years.
The great value of clover in rota.
ton is that it leaves the land richer
and in better mechanical condition than
it was before. This is from the fact
that the clover roots penetrate very
deeply into the subsoil and bring much
| fertility to the surface. A great amount
of the stalks and stems are always left
on the field and these, with the roots,
greatly enrich the soil when they de-
cay. 1t is a generally accepted fact
that clover and other plants of the
same family have the power to use the
nitrogen of the air. Assimilating the
nitrogen of the air and bringing up fer
tility from below where other plant:
feed, are the two ways in which clover
enriches the soil.-N. E. Homestead.

She was pretty girl and q pleasant
thing to see on a rainy day. She got into
a Broadway car at 26th street going
down town. Her tailor made costume
was natty. A soft hat Just showed
curly bang, and Tuxedo veil skirted
the tip of her delicate nose. Slung from
her arm she carried leather bound Bos-
ton bag and in one hand silver mounted
English umbrella. Thee was crowded,
and the passengers moved up when a
dapper gentleman yielded his place; so
the girl squeezed into a narrow space and
sat ON the edge of the seat at that Her
get up was gentlemanly, but her pocket
was hard to find, just the same. In
dragging ont her purse she spilled her
handkerchief. She and the gentleman
opposite bent simultaneously TO pick it
up. Their heads came in contact and
the girls hat was punched in and pushed
to one side. She thanked the gentleman
for her handkerchief. The iab her hat
had got had loosened her veil Reaching
up to rearrange both, she burst the pin
that held one cuff. This made her nerv-
GUS and the veil wasn't fixed straight by
any means, while the hat was pinned at
a distinctly rakish angle, and so far back
that the bang was pulled up out of sight.
When she took her arms down the cuff
fell over her knuckles. She couldn't
manage the pin, which being bent, was
hurting her dainty wrist, so she barred
one hand of its glove. She tried to
straighten the pin and lost it. Then she
pushed the cuff up and began TO look
severe. At this point her umbrella fell
with bang of the silver handle. Stoop-
ing for it, she let her bag drag along the
dirty floor, and that was muddied as well
as the umbrella. She forgot that her
handkerchief had been in the same place,
and she wiped her mouth as girl will
when she is nervous. This gave her
smudge ON her chin. Then she sud
denly discovered that her street was al
hand.
And, oh! what sadly different girl il
was who got out to do her shopping. One
hand ungloved, the other cuff hanging
loose, umbrella, bag, and face muddy,
soft hat tipped on the back of her head
and punched out of shape, veil asian;
across one cheek, and alasl and alasl no
bang-no bang at all.-[New York Sun.

The Egypt coal mine, near Egypt
Station, N. c.. is the only coal mine In
North Carolina, and has usually 40 labor
ers employed in it. The pit is 450 feet
deep, and there is only one cage used TO
draw out the men. During one after
noon this c@ge was caught by slight
cave in about midway between the top
and bottom of the shaft. thus rendering
useless the only means by which the
laborers could set out.
At first nobody knew what TO do
Mothers, wives, and children of the inn
prisoned men gathered about the mine
and their cries of agony could be heard
a mile away. 1t was known that the
water rose very rapidly in the mine, and
with the machinery blocked there was
no possible way of pumping it out. The
miners would therefore drown If not
rescued soon No voice could penetrate
the depths, and no sound could be heard
from below.
Night came on, but there was no pros.
pect of rescue. At last the president Of
the coal mine company got some men TO
work, and throughout the long hours
while they tried to loosen the machinery
mothers walked up and down weeping,
with babies In their arms.
Midnight came but nobody thought OF
sleeping. Just before daybreak some
men were lowered down to the fastened
cage and cut hole in it. The glad tid-
ings were sent up that the men were all
alive. Soon ropes were let down, and
one by one they were pulled out. All
were alive, but had the rescue been de-
layed few hours more all would have
been drowned, as the water in the mine
covered the head of every man. They
were all wet, cold, and half starved. One
old man said:
I'VE did not expect to be rescued at
all. We felt sure that the mine had
caved in at the top, and not a man OF us
ever expected to be taken out of that pit
alive. We huddled close together, and
spent the time in singing and praying.
We knew by the rate at which the water
was rising on US that it could only be a
matter of few hours before we should
all drown, and it required lot of talk
and persuasion to keep some Of the men
from lying down in the water and
drowning before it was three feet deep.
We then made bargain to stand on our
feet just as long as we could, and when
we could stand no longer we had agreed
| to all lie down in the water at the same
time and die. It was an awful TINA,
and think we all suffered the horrors
of q hundred deaths.
