A man can usually tell his own fate
by going out and looking at the weeds
on the grave of a friend who died a

BY the time q man realizes that he is
a fool it is usually too late to realize on
his realization.

Mr. BookwaIter's scheme.

\ writer in the New York Press says:
had long talk yesterday with Mr.. John
W. Bookwalter about the scheme which he
has on foot for building up an agricultural
village on the 10000 acre farm which he
owns in Nebraska. Mr.. Bookwalter is
manufacturer of agricultural implements
at Springfield, Ohio, but has his main office
in New York, where he lives for the great
er portion of the year He is great tray
eler, and reputed to be worth several mil
lions. He secured national prominence in
1881 as the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Ohio. About his Western venture
he said to me: "Until l was % years of
age my life was spent on farm. The
dreariness and lonesomeness of farm life
the absence of books, papers and compan-
ionship-taught me the secret of the dis
content in the farmers life. My idea is to
create a village at the railroad station near
thecentre of my tract of land. | shall build
library and public hall. / shall put up
small houses and good barns on plots of
land large enough to give their possessors
good garden spots. With each house and
lot will 90 80 to 100 acres of land, located
near or distant from the town according to
the means of the purchaser. This will be
following somewhat the European plan,
where the agricultural classes come to the
village at night and go out to their work in
the morning. am going over to France
and Germany in about a week, to examine
the systems that are in vogue in those
countries for gathering agricultural labor
ers in towns, where they can have social
and religious intercourse. | think the plan
will remove the tedium of farm life, keep
the farmers boys at home, put the farmers
in touch with the whole country, and save
the women of the household from the eter-
nal drudgery to which they are now sub
jected. 1t may be a visionary scheme, but
think enough of it to try it,"

new kind of clover growing on the
farm of John Wilson i'm Philadelphia
suburb is the object of much local interest.
An account of it is given by the Times of
that city: The seed from which this
unique and beautiful clover is grown came
from the southern part of Italy, and has
hitherto been unknown in this country, and
was planted by Mr.. Wilson as an expert
ment. The experiment has proved to be
complete success, and it is anticipated
that the Italian clover will ere long com
pletely revolutionize the system of raising
clover fields in this country, AMI that Ital-
ian clover will become the rage among clio
yer growers.
The great popularity of this new clover
is its graceful shape and very rich color.
1t is not globular in form like ordinary
clover, but the flower is elongated in shape,
and tapers to point something like an ear
of wheat, while the color, when the clover
is at its best, is deep and brilliant red,
and when an entire field is covered with
these rich-looking flowers the effect is
beautiful, for the Italian clover grows very
close and the stalks are longer than ordna-
~ clover, and if the leaves were taken
away and nothing seen but the flower,
field of Italian clover would look as though
it had a carpet of bright yermillion. In
addition to its far greater beauty the ltal-
ian clover grows much faster than ordina-
ry clover, and one great popularity is the

Tae Newest Thing in Refrigeration.

The latest elaboration of the refrigera-
ton process is a new thing entirely. A
plant has Just been established near Wash
ington market, from which there is 10 be
supplied a current of cold that will chill
all the refrgerators in the stalls of the
market-over three hundred in number.
The system of piping is worth word of
description. As one of the men who have
worked for some years to perfect the
scheme has said, "The company proposes
to do what the great steam distributing
companies are doing-with a difference.
What they are doing is to distribute and
sell plus units of heat. What we are doing
is to distribute and sell minus units of
heat"
The only sense in which this is new is
that it is done on larger scale than ever
before. 1t is like applying the principles
of the telephone to the long distance tele-
phone As has been already explained,
the idea of refrigerating an ice box or
house is not new. The idea of doing it
from a central plant, and supplying minus
heat or positive cold through pipes is new.
1t does away with the handling of ice at
each box owned by a customer, and en-
ables the butchers and other dealers in the
market to keep their wares as long and as
well as if they were packed in ice. In one
uptown hotel where the plan has been in
operation for nearly two years, the saving
has been found to be over seventy-tive per
cent of the former cost. 1t is distinctly
one of the great steps forward in modern
progress .-Hdrper' weekly.

If the lawn had in the beginning good,
rich soil beneath it, it may be kept up in
definitely by the use of wood ashes alone.
The use of manure on the lawn about the
dwelling house is offensive, and need not
be resorted to if ashes can be had. Apply
the ashes with a sieve early in spring, and
once or twice thereafter if they seem to be
needed. The benefit of the ashes will be
greatly increased if there is mixed with
them few pounds to the bushel of ground
bone prepared to use for this purpose
William Robinson, the founder and man
ager of the London Garden, says that we

How TO Berln the study Of notnny.


Most young people find botany a dull

the first thing we wish to know about il
is its name. Its name helps to classify it;
it gives us handle to grasp it by, it sheds
a ray of light where all before was dark.

we seem to have established some sort of
relation to il.

Cause and Cure of Chicken ChOIer"

Every poultry owner whose flock has
been invaded by this disease will agree with
a writer for the Maryland Farmer who
characterizes it as the most dreaded by
breeders of all the maladies to which do
nestle fowls are subject. Yet he has al
ways found it to yield readily to treatment,
and that it is easily prevented. Such being
his experience, what he has to say with re
gard to the disorder and its prevention and
cure is worth noting.
The chief cause of the disease is want OF
care. Vermin, which weaken the strength
of the bird, confinement in foul runs, poor
feed and dirty water vessels, want OF green
food, gravel and shade in the summer, are
