Origin of the Side-Saddle.

The Mortified opposers of the move
ment for women's riding en- cavalier
may be interested in learning that had
it not been for an accident of fashion
the gentler sex would be striding their
horses still, and that the side-saddle is
not an invention due to the advanced
,nodesty of civilization. 1t appears
that one Anna of Bohemia, eldest
daughter of German emperor and wife
of an English king, introduced the Gus
tom, not from delicate repulsion to the
old method, but simply because she was
afflicted with some sort of deformity
that rendered it impossible for her to
ride upon the saddles in common use.
In those days it was imperative that a
woman should ride; accordingly the
first side-saddle was invented Royalty
had then, as now, snobbish followers
ever on the alert to adopt fashions
honored by its patronage, and in few
months every woman of Place inEngland
possessed side-saddle, and the custom
was established.-Chic News.

WASTE OF FODDER.
Prevent 1t by experimenting Corn with
Sweet Glover.

Sweet Glover.
It is conceded that an acre OF corn
fodder is generally equal in value
to three-fourths of an acre Of
timothy. 1t will not be disputed that
there Is an enormous waste of fodder
That increased attention is being given
to improve methods of cutting, curing
and storing is abundantly evidenced by
the large space that its discussion
occupies in the agricultural press,
especially that which is somewhat local
to Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, and by
the use of special and adaptable ma
chinery in the handling Of 1t. 1t will
be well for farmers interested to post
up on the matter now, and be ready for
cutting and threshing the crop next
fall.
Corn fodder alone is not good ration
for stock and should be supplemented
with clover Now is the time to pre-
pare for the clover crop. We would
advise large sowings for several
reasons. 1t is crop that does well
over larger area of country than any
other, though with varying yields
Different sections and different soils re
quire different treatment in sowing
Here we can sow in early spring on the
bed of winter wheat or rye; or perhaps
the best way is to sow after the first
narrowing of oats. 1t makes fine
growth with the other grain, and az
the weather is apt to be moist at harves
time it is not killed out by hot suns
when exposed after the cutting away
of the grain.
In sections where IL is likely to b.
dry in midsummer we should advise
sowing alone on stubble ground earl!
in the spring, and then keep weed
moved down two or three times during
the season. This will prevent at an,
time dense shade, and also furnish
mulch for the young plants. Thel
there will be no woody, coarse weed
to.rake up with the crop the next year
For one of the best paying crops
simply as crop, and for the drawing
in and retaining of valuable element
of the soil, SOW clover.-J. M. Rice. il

the cleats on with wire nails clinched;

not need cutting. Where used for hogs
only, planks is high enough, and the

boards reaching the outside cleat at
one end, while the middle boards
reach it at the other end, leaving top

THE BUCkWHEAT CROP.
To Increase Fertility 1t Is Almost
Good az Glover

To Increase Fertility 1t Is Almost as
Good as Glover.
Clover is considered one of the best,
if not the best crop that can be used to
build up rundown soil. But in some
cases the land has been cropped down
SO much that good growth of clover
cannot be readily secured, and when
this is the case something else must be
used. In the absence of clover one of
the best crops to use is buckwheat. 1t
will grow in soil too poor to make a
good crop of clover; it makes quick
growth and will soon shade the soil
thoroughly Shading the soil aids in
nitrifcation and also in destroying the
weeds. One advantage with buckwheat
is that two good crops can be grown
and turned under in one season and a
sufficient quantity of plant food secured
in this way to grow crop of clover,
and soil that will grow clover can be
built up into good condition of fertil-
ity.
The first seeding can be done as soon
as all danger of hard frost is past; SOW
broadcast, taking pains to sow the seed
as evenly as possible over the surface
and harrow in well. AS soon as good
growth has been made, or when in full
bloom, it will pay to pillow under, taking
pains to cover as completely as possible.
A second sowing can be made as soon
as the first is plowed under, and before
a hard frost in the fall it will have
made good growth In this way a
considerable quantity of valuable fer.
tilizer can be applied at comparatively
small cost and good start be made
towards building up the fertility. Like
clover, buckwheat will help to make
the soil looser and more friable and to
make plant food already in the soil
available, as well as to add to the sup
ply of fertilizing material. It's quick
growth and its branching habit OF
growth make it desirable crop tc
grow for green manure, and as it will
grow on very thin land it will be found
a good crop to use for this purpose, es
pecially in the spring.-St. Louis Re
public.

The Great Eastern Saved by the Inge-

The Great Eastern, the largest steam
err ever built, was launched January 81,
1859. Almost from the first the exper-
fence of this ocean leviathan was
unfortunate. Not long after being
placed in commission the vessel started
on trip from Liverpool to New York.
When but two days out she was met by
a brisk gale, which speedily developed
into hurricane of destructive violence.
The side paddles were bent out Of posi-
ton and made useless, the top of the
rudder post was smashed and the help.

Fertilization of Plants.

Bees serve as active agents in the fer
tilization of plants, and are not destruc-
tive In the least degree, says writer.
They are profitable, because they gather
and store up that which would be entire
ly lost without their aid They work in
places that are rarely seen. and the
fence corners and neglected spots are
often valuable pasture fields for them.

The Ideal Strawberry Row" was
one subject discussed. E. H. Cushman
said the perfect strawberry row had
not been discovered, but the nearest
approach we could make to 1t was to
contrive to have the plants use all the
ground and not crowd each other. He
planted in rows 81 feet apart and set
the plants every 10 inches. In July
he let some runners start and let two
plants set on each side Of the plants set
in the spring. All other runners were
kept off. This style Of row gave very
fine fruit but cost considerable labor.
He uses tool contrived by his father
for cutting runners. 1t was hoe with

and they admitted light and air to the

pretty nearly filled the narrow space.
This narrow space not being trampled,
was much mellower than the wide one,
and thus the roots had some mellow
soil at all times of year. Planted in
this way, a bed could be made to bear
full crop for three years. All runners
were cut with shears-Ohio Farmer.

Lunar IunaoY.

Superstitions in regard to the moon
linger to the present time, even among
intelligent people. Few are willing to
look at the new moon over the left
shoulder and there are few who are not
much surer of good luck all the month
if they see the new moon face to face.
Many consider it unlucky to see the
new moon through glass, believing that
whoever does so will break glass before
that moon is out. The Irish peasant con-
siders it unlucky to have no piece of sill
yer money in his pocket to turn for pros
perity when he first sees the new moon.
To this it may be said that it is unlucky
at any time to have no piece of silver
in the pocket. A child born in the inter
val between an old ana new moon is be-
lieved to die young, hence the proverh
no moon, no man."-'ChiCago Herald
