secondary consideration and fertility as
incidental. In this case the red variety
should be used. The same variety should
be used when fall pasture is the secondary
consideration, or when the main consider
atoms are pasture, summer and fall When
the main considerations are seed or fer
tllity, or both, or when the land is natural
~ poor, We advise the use ofthe mammoth
instead OF the medium red. There is an
other consideration of which we care to
speak just now only in the way of sug-
gestlon: 1t is quite probable that the
clover helds of the West will be attacked
next year, as they have this, with a num-
Der OF insects that come in swarms at the
TIME OF blooming of the main crop, when
that has been red clover. The first
and second broods of the pests are
timed to meet the time of blooming. Ohio
farmers, where the nudge has been pre-
valent for some years, find they can avoid
IL Dy sowing the mammoth, which blooms
too late for the first crop of the nudge, and
rlpens It's seed before the second crop puts
In an appearance. This is at least worth
thinking about, and may lead TO a much
larger use of mammoth than has been
Inougnt wise or prudent in the past.
W men 1t Is the intention to procure per-
Inanent pasture, we would SOW ali the va
rietles, red and mammoth for use the first
years, Alsike for the sloughs and swales,
ana white as slayer. 1t is not worth
while, in the latitude of the Northwestern
states, TO bother with the crimson, nor,
where the red and mammoth can be
grown, as they can in the rain belts, to
bother with alfalfa. Where the climate is
too dry for the standard varieties, and irri-
cation is possible, there is nothing like al
falfa.
In considering the varieties of clover to
be grown it is well to take into account
the rotation it is desirable to follow.
Where the object is fertility and seed, and
the mammoth chosen, We would use
short rotation, for example, corn, oats or
spring wheat with clover clover seed, and
then go back to corn. Or this: corn, oats,
spring wheat or barley winter wheat with
clover in March. clover seed and then
back to corn. When the land has been
enriched by clover, two crops of corn may
be taken 10 great advantage, thus making
the rotation one year longer.
Where hay crop is desired we would
vary this rotation, for example: corn, oats
with clover, either alone or with timothy,
meadow with a seed crop or aftermath
pasture, and then back to corn. The same
variations may be made on this as the
other, taking two crops of corn or crop
OF winter wheat or substituting barley for
oats or spring wheat. rotation can be
suggested only in general outlines, the
farmer being the best judge as to what is
best adapted to his farm, his tastes or the
market.

pany's Iron will" An engineer of the
company has selected route through this
city that, ne says. would be acceptable to
the company. As its crossing OF the
Wishkah river would render useless some
of the most convenient docks on Aber-

honest standpoint, the railroad situation
looks like this: The present extension
from Montesano is in the hands of con-
struction company heavily interested in
South Side townsite schemes. These
townstes will be fostered as long as posi-
bic and the road not turned over to the
operating department until the last hour,
simply because there is no business on the
South Side and the constructors interests
lie in delay. When the construction crew
is released from that work it will be trans
ferred to the North Side end and the track
laid down to the Wishkah river, which is
in the center of Aberdeen. There it will
remain until such time as the Northern

CAR ALEXANDER iii.
His Face and Figure Betray a
Full-BlOOded Russian.
A TALL, STOUT, HEALTHY MAN.
How He Lives at CATCHING, Safe From
Nihiiist Bombs-The Anna BILE Side
of q Cruel Monarch.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Oct. 12.-[Special Cor
respondence. Whoever has seen the car
will have at once recognized in him the
full-blooded Russian. his face and figure
betraying it at the first glance. He has
black, full beard, thick lips, a large, broad
nose and peculiarly shaped eyes, with Z
stern and yet SO kind and melancholy
look, under extremely low brows. He
reached his 10th year last March, and is
tall, stout and healthy looking. Though
his social abilities may be less brilliant
and his boldness and activity of intellect
less prominent than those of his predeces-
sors, yet none of them possessed more COM
petence and moral worth.
His favorite resort is the castle of
Gatchina, situated on vast desolate plain
near st. Petersburg. But this very soli-
tude renders it the more desirable as q
residence, for the approach of undesirable
persons can be easier avoided.
The road leading to the imperial castle
of CATCHING is closely watched and closed
to all other traffic. the park surround
ing the palace is enclosed by high wall,
which is under the constant surveillance
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-10-26

of patrol guard. An entrance into the
castle is impossible without special per-
NIT, and the whole is under the supervi-
sion of the chief of the imperial police
guard. Gatchlna is in consequence con-
sidered so completely cut off from the rest
OF the world that the imperial family can
reside there without fear.
The castle is a simple mansion, of OBJ
long shape, with tower at every corner,
and is three stories high. The arcades.
with columns Of Finland marble, are in
connection with the castle, and offer an
agreeable retreat and promenade in bad
weather. The inner apartments cannot
boast of any particular architectural
beauty, but are adorned with valuable pic
lures and statues, which, by order of the
emperor, were brought from the Hermitage
museum in st. Petersburg, and from MS
winter palace and Anitchkow palace.
The view is limited bv the
park and forest attached to it, but
as much as human power could do 10 rem
der 1t diverse and picturesque has been ac-
complished by the famous landscape gar
deners of st. Petersburg with rare skill
and taste. All this produces such an effect
of comfort and safety within the walls that
one hardly remembers the dreary sur
rounding country and the strict, almost
painful surveillance.
The car and his family enjoy all the
conyeniences and pleasures which coun-
try seat can offer, such as driving excur-
slons, hunting, riding, boating, soirees and
private theatricals. The forest connected
with the well-tended park contains two
large ponds resembling lakes, on which
the emperor and his sons row in summer
and spring and skate in winter.
Although it is generally difficult thing
for the average person to get a glance
INTO the Russian emperor's private life,
1t IS universally known that his marriage
mas been very happy one. The car,
whom the public consider severe and tact,
turn, IS most loving husband and care
!ui iather' and Is never SO happy as when

NEW YORK. Oct. 25.-Central Office de-

quarters of "green goods" business in
this city, and together with code, books
of reference, lists of names of some 5000
people, as well as letters received from
every state in the Union. They have also
arrested Frank Brooks and Terrence

names of people to whom circulars were
