Winter killing of Clover.

II Is believed by the editor Of Hoard's
Dairyman that great deal of the loss
through SO called winter killing Of clover
comes from another cause.-The allowing
the clover to mature too far before cut
ting. He says: "Clover Is biennial
plant-that is, it lives two years or until
1t seeds, and then 1t dies. The same root
never seeds twice; hence it must die
The way to keep it alive and strong'is to
cut It before the formation of the seed
in the head and cut another crop later
in the season, say in September, cutting
that also before any seed is formed. In
this way the plant does not perform the
purpose of nature and object of its life,
which is the production of seed. AS long
as it is thwarted in this purpose the
plant struggles to exist and is vigorous.
There is great loss annually through the
killing of clover, and whatever is caused
by too late cutting can be remedied by
paying attention to the laws which gov
ern its life. Besides this, the farmer
win have, if the clover is cut twice,
from every acre largely increased crop
Of better feeding value and much more
Bteadfast meadow. We have seen clover
fields that had been cut in this way for
nine years with fine profit all around.
Two or three quarts of seed, sown early
every spring before the frost is all out
of the ground, is also a good thing"

Scenes at the Gathering-Gossip About
the Warriors.
New ORLEANS, Sept s.-The crowd
that focked in the street was noticeably
larger than on any previous day of this
fighting carnival. From early morning
until dinner time the trains dropped
scores of men until fully a thousand
new arrivals came into the city. They
came not only from places within a
hundred miles or so, but in a good many
cases from California, Chicago, Boston
and New York. They were people who
could not leave business for the entire
festival, but had enough of the sporty
disposition to determine that the great
championship battle between John l..
Sullivan and James J. Corbett could not
be missed, even though $l5 had to be
given up to get into the arena at all, $50
had to be paid for so-called reserved
seat and $3.50 in cash was necessary for
box that held six persons. The sports
could not get away from such fast hit
ter as the Olympic club management
and came to take the punishment that
would be meted out to them in the shape
of prices. The town was chock full at
o'clock in the afternoon and all the
men who stood along the curbs were
talking about the fight.
This city is mad or has been made
mad by outsiders on the subject of prize
fighting.
Corbett got up at a. M. and was feel
ing first rate. He took a sponge bath
and then ate square meal. He talked
away to his trainers at such lively rate
hot oh hn
had been drinking. He read the papers,
| got shave and hesitated about allow
| ing barber with whom he was not
acquainted to touch his pompadour style
hair. He finally consented and after
ward gave the barber 50 for the job.
He stayed in the house all day, not leav-
| ing it until he went to the fight. He
and Corbett jumped back with the
merry smile of school boy with big
| apple. Suddenly he returned to the
fray and before Sullivan knew what
| was the meaning of the Californian's IS
| happy look he got crack on the side of
| the head that made him close his eyes.
| With this Corbett was on top of him in
| no time. Left hand on one side of the
head and right hand on the other poor
| John l.. Sullivan became an unconscious,
beaten man. He staggered about on
his pins for second or so and while dis
| playing this fatal weakness. Corbett
| was expected TO show up at the Southern
| Athletic club, but at II o'clock sent
word that he would not go over. A
large crowd that had assembled to see
him was disappointed, but they waited
until 2 in the afternoon. The reception
committee were out in full force to say
Dnce more that they were delighted to
have him as their guest and they also
/ were fooled.

Causes of Poor Crops-Suggestions About
Marketing.
Sowing foul seed is one prime cause of
sorry crops, according to a writer in
Ohio Farmer, who expresses the follow
ing opinions: "If all the foul seeds with
our wheat were harvested to them
selves and measured it would surprise
most farmers. Yet this is not all, for it
costs as much to SOW and reap this foul
growth, bushel for bushel, as it does the
wheat, and robbed the soil of as much
fertility, and, moreover, it must be got
out from among the wheat or make in
ferior -four, which will add another cost
to the crop.
"a proper preparation of the soil is too
much neglected by most farmers, and this
adds another cause for poor crops. The
thorough preparation of the soil before
sowing is moro necessary for wheat
than most any other crop. All we can
do to insure o good crop ends with the
sowing of the seed. Cultivated crops
may be planted on q poorly prepared
soil and by after cultivation the soil put
in order But this cannot be done with
a wheat crop. Moreover, the greatest
enemy Of the wheat crop is the freezing
and thawing of winter, and well pre-
pared, compact seed bed enables the
wheat to root down in the solid earth and
be less liable to be thrown out Of the
ground, and the very fine, mellow surface
pushes a quick growth, enabling the
plant to grow sufficient blade to furnish
protection to the root. But aR improve.
ment in the seed bed would not only do
all this, which would increase the yield
in the end, but would require less seed,
which would go into the thousands of
bushels saved, and counting up profits it
will be found more in what we save than
in what we make.
Another reason for poor crops is the
farmers lands are growing thin from
excessive cropping and they do not
manure their land in any way. If the
farmers would manure their land liber.
ally with good stable manure or SOW
clover they would greatly increase their
yield.
Another point l wish to suggest to
the reader is the marketing of theiI
wheat. believe many of our farmers
sell their wheat at disadvantage, and
believe many times twenty-five cents
more might be realized by having
their wheat made into -four and sell it
and feed the bran to their stock, and
thus a good portion Of the fertility
would be returned to the soil. A little
additional cost for better quality of
seed, a little more work in preparing the
soil, the more liberal use of good
manure, will return to the farmer an
increased yield of wheat, and thus
greatly enhance the profit Of wheat
growing"

lights on corn Where Inere Is no dummy
in the middle Of the field. A right on
the ear and q left on the jaw settled the
business and the championship. The
last blow sent the great John l.. Sulli-
van to the floor with a thump. the sec.
ond time in all his long career as a
fighter that he had ever been knocked
down. But he was down this time for
fair and finally. Ii was clean and
clever Knockout blow. Sullivan doubled
up his legs as though in pain, but in an
other instant seemed TO collect his
senses and made an effort to raise. He
failed in that, and tried the second time
with the same result. He was knocked
out, pure and simple.
Dead to the world for Two Minutes.
His seconds had to come to him and
assist him to his corner. Even then
John l.. was "out" and did not know
what was going on. It was not for
over two minutes that John L. recov-
cred himself. Meantime Corbett had
retired to his corner, on the order of the
referee, while the man who has so long
been known as the champion of cham
pions was counted out and carried to his
chair. When the ten seconds were at
last at an end Professor Mike Donovan,
of the New York Athletic club, and W.
A. Brady, Corbett's manager, sprang to
the stage and flung their arms around
the young man who was now the cham
pion pugilist of the world and the win
ner of $4,000 in purse and stake, as
well as a reputation that will turn per-
haps ten times that amount into his ex-
chequer.
Corbett returned the cordial salutation
with hearty embrace, while the tears
swelled into his eyes. Others jumped
up to the clever Californian and hugged
him. They had probably won money at
2 or 3 to 1 on Jim. While this hugging
was going on Sullivan's handlers were
pouring water over him and placing
ammonia to his nose and with much
trouble brought him around. When he
did come to he looked up at Jack Nc
Auliffe, who was tanning him with the
towel, and after opening his eyes half
way, or as far as he could, said in his
more than ordinary bootleg" voice:
"Say, am | liclied3 Did that young fell
low do it?"
McAuliffe sorrowfully admitted that
that was the case. John did not say
any more until Corbett came over and
shook hands with him. John got up,
took Corbett's hand, and then spoke to
the crowd. Gentlemen" said the ex-
champion, ri am only glad that the
championship has been won by an
American.
This speech brought down the house
as it has not been affected during all the
week. There was great wild and
woody west, hot southern, mad, enthusi-
astic yell when Corbett knocked John
L. Sullivan out, but that noise was not
a marker to the wild, mad-house demon
stration that the gang made when John
l. said those manly words

Potash and Soda.

DR.. E. H. Jenkins says, in The New

sometimes has a very marked effect on
the following crop. The Rural New
Yorker, commenting on the foregoing,
says so also may an application of car.
Donate of soda. The same is true of cop.
peras and other salts. But this does not
prove or even indicate that these salts
can in any way "replace" potash in the
plant. They no doubt increase the solu.
bility of the plant food in the soil. Both
potash and soda are necessary to the
plant. Neither can wholly replace the
other, though the quantity Of soda which
is absolutely necessary is extremely
small.

THE SILK PROSPERITY.
To the Editor of the World.

Mr.. Peck's theories as to the results
OF the Mckinley tariff ON wages and
production show decidedly that the
man ought to stick closely to reports
and not yentilate his opinion on mat
ters of which he appears to be wofully
ignorant.
Now, as regards the silk industry,
which he has selected as an example to
prove the absolute truthfulness of his
report:
l, There has been no duty on the raw
material for many years.
2. The prosperity of the silk industry
during the past year has been due en-.
tirely to fashion, white skirts, feathers.
&c, being out of date, and silk skirts
waists, gowns and ribbons taking their
place. In fact, silk has been used
wherever possible.
And to fashion alone is the prosper
ity OF the silk industry due.
