About Sowing Grass.

Land intended to be sown down
to clover or grass, either with or
without grain crop, should be pre-
pared by being deeply plowed and
finely broken, and made rich with
barnyard manure or potash and phos-
phate fertilizer. September is the
best month in the year for sowing
grass seeds in the State of Virginia
and the adjoining one; but to secure
a good heart and be made as fine as
possible, and the seeds be sown and
either rolled or brushed in whilst the
land is mellow and warm. Clover
seed sown in September is also pref>
cradle to that sown in spring, as it
makes sufficient growth before win.

yard manure is not available, from
200 to 400 pound per acre Of phos-
phate, either in form of bone or
floats, and like quantity of potash
in the form of kainit will be found a
desirable form of fertilizer. Orchard
grass and Tall Meadow DAT
grass will be found desirable for up
lands, whilst Red Top or Herds grass
is well suited to wet lowlands. Tim
othy is most valuable grass for hay,
but should not be sown except upon
rich land; such as river and creek low
grounds. 1t is not desirable as a pas
ture grass, but makes very heavy
crop of hay on land suited to it. II
should by sown at the rate of one

Royal Rules for Butter Making.

use a proper floating glass ther-

4. Ventilate the churn freely dur

5. Stop churning Immediately the

butter must not be churned into a
lump; it ought to be in granular

churning is stopped,

if your kidneys be affected you have
a pinched look, Secure good health

Florida Phosphates.

DR.. V. NJ. Metcalf writes the Far
mers' Home Journal of Louisville,
from Ocala, Fla, under date Of Sept.
Sth, as follows:
This has been a very prosperous
year for this country The fruit and
vegetable crop has been unusually
large and prices generally satisfacto'
ry. There is large crop of oranges
and lemons to be gathered, and the
greatest of ali industries, that OF
phosphate, is on a big boom. 1t
sounds like a fairy tale to tell half
the truth about this wonderful BUSH
ness. 1t was discovered less than
three years ago, and up to this time
there are hundreds Of well-organized
companies at work, representing a
capital of over thirty million dollars.
The English, Germans and French
appear to take the lead in mining,
yet there are large and small cOmpa-
MES formed by almost every nation
ality. The foreigners appear to APP
preciate high grade phosphate more
than our own people.
The soft phosphate appears to be
gaining ground very rapidly among
our home manufacturers, and, in fact,
if the wanderful result of soft phos-
phate is half true as reported, | see
no reason why farmers should not be
encouraged This soft phosphate is
said to be very soluble and largely
available in the soil without treat
ment by acids. If this is so farmer
can send direct to the miners and
buy what he wants without having
to pay half dozen profits to manufac-
turers before he gets it. While l am
mining hard rock for European mar
ket, yet | mine out great deal OF
soft in getting the hard. | have Civ
en- away a good deal Of this to my
friends to try, and they all report IA
vorable results. If this should prove
a success on wheat, tobacco, corn and
cotton in its natural state, as taken
from the ground, it will be great
blessing, for it is found here in large
quantities and can be sold cheaply,
1t ought to be delivered to any part
of Kentucky or Tennessee for $40 OF
$12 per ton by the car load in bulk.
1t looks in appearance like finely
ground meal, and usually runs from
40 to 60 per cent. pure phosphate.
The chemists say but little of it is
soluble, but practical experience
shows that it gives good results, and
this is worth more than any scientific
test.
The profits in mining phosphate is
immense sometimes. | know of one
little mine that paid $4,000 for 81
acres of land spent $4,000 in equip
ping the mine and in eight weeks
mined enough phosphate to pay fol
the entire plant and all expenses anc
have several thousand dollars sur
plus. But all do not do this well
Sometimes people lose money a
mining, just as they do at otheI
things.

Woman as a Political Factor.

In Mondays Daily Evening News
that close observer of political cur
rents, Henry George, Jr., graphically
pictured the political power of wO-
men in England through their inde-
pendent leagues. The observations
of this American critic correspond
with the views of English writers as
to the certain signs Of political
revolution with woman as a leading
factor therein.
1t cannot fail to be noted that wo-
men already possess in conserva-
tive England greater privileges of
franchise than in any other country
on the globe. In all except parlia-
mentary elections the votes of
widows and spinsters who, are tax
payers are counted. Within a couple
of decades England has practically
revOlutionized her methods of hold
ing elections, and there are many
predictions that before score of
years more there will be practically
universal suffrage, women included.
There are certain valuable lessons
to be CLEANED from England's grow
ing recognition of women as p0liti-
cal factor. In the United States,
although woman suffrage has been
demanded in strident tones from
hundred platforms for more than IL
generation, it cannot be said to have
become live political issue. Vari-
Gus states have conferred suffrage on
women at minor elections, but there
the movement has apparently been
checked.
Is it not possible that American
woman sutfragists have taken less
sensible view of the case than their
English sisters, and have demanded
as right what English women are
content to win by slow gradations, as
their political power becomes recog-
niZed ?
Contrast, for instance, the methods
OF the politically inspired women of
the two countries. In England they
have formed themselves into two
leagues conservatives, and liberal
and are most active auxiIiaries of the
two great parties through the length
and breadth of the empire. These
English women throw themselves
into the thickest OF election contests
and, undoubtedly help to decide
many close struggle. This they do
as auxiliary workers, not as voters.
Surprising American women were
thus active in national politics and
studied national issues with view
to taking intelligent part therein as
election workers. What would be
the probable result? Such course
would mean the formation of Re-
publican and Democratic women's
leagues, after the pattern of the
!, Primrose League and the WOmen's
Liberal Federation Of England.
Whether American women would
readily adapt themselves to this
: active participation in national af-
, fairs, without being themselves
} voters, may safely be left to their
t own judgment to decide. The point
is clear that such participation would
} bring them nearer the goal of female
2 suffrage, just as it is breaking down
r English traditions and bringing the
t women of that country nearer the
8 same ultimate goal.

as a football, and in less than minute
had become shred of black beaver and

We think good deal of Duluth
and believe that it's prospects for a
great city are excelled by no point in
the great Northwest. We clip the
following items from the Duluth
News:
Duluth transacted in November the
largest grain business in the history
of the market and that means, OF
course, a much larger business than
was ever handled at any other market.
Duluth is the greatest primary wheat
market in the world, and that is why
the Minneapolis papers are aiding the
Superior prevaricators in belittling
Duluth's grain business.
The business of the Duluth post
Office increased 20 per cent. during
November over the corresponding
period of last year. There is no
better indication of a city's growth in
both population and business than its
postofice records. There is no padd-
ing about the statistics of the post
Office. They are bald facts that can
not be disputed, and Duluth has
reason to feel gratifed with the past
months excellent showing.
