Sweet Glover Experiment.

Many persons have noticed the
habit of the sweet or Bokara clover,
Melilotus alba, ofgrowing in the bot
tom Of brick yards and in places
along the roadside where the surface
soil has been scraped away says the
Orange Judd Farmer-these unprom-
Using situations apparently being
chosen in preference to more fertile
soils. Acting on the hint thus given.
the Ohio Experiment Station in 1888
plowed up, carefully prepared and
seeded to melilotus piece OF stiff
clay land, part Of which had been
stripped Of it's soil some years pre-
viously for brick making, and which
had since been very unsatisfactory
for tillage. The melilotus was al
lowed to grow up and fall down, re-
seeding the ground, until the Autumn
OF 1891, when quarter acre OF the
original patch was plowed and sown
to wheat, the same quantity OF SINH
lar land adjoining, which had been
kept under rotation OF corn, oats and
wheat, being prepared and sown at
the same time and in the same man
ner. The result was yield of 1876
bushels Of wheat per acre from the land
which had been cropped in rotation,
while that which had grown melilotus
yielded at the rate of 26, 9 bushels per
acre, and it is again self seeded with
dense growth Of melilotus. This ex.
pertinent alone is not conclusive.
Probably the wheat crop would have
been increased as much at the end of
one year as for four years growth
OF melilotus, but it was desired to
study the body OF the plant in other
respects, especially that of self-seeding
and continuous growth on the same
land; thereforeit was left undisturbed
until it had demonstrated it's ability
to maintain itself. The result may
serve as a guide to farmers who have
unproductive clay soils which they
may wish to ameliorate cheaply. It
must be remembered however, that
the melilotus has the habits of a
weed and must be kept in check, but
this is easily done. As the melilotus
belongs to the same family OF plants
as the clover, it will be understood
that its growth probably adds actual
fertility to the soil, in addition to
the physical improvement produced
by it's deep growing roots. It may be
sown broadcast in the Spring or in
July, at the rate OF eight or ten pounds
seed to the acre.

eminent chemists in this country have
testified that the use of such drugs is
detrimental to the public health.
And yet we fear that the use OF them

great and the knowledge of their de-
leterious effects not being so general

Steps have been taken in England
to make the subject familiar to the
public in a very forcible way. A milk
dealer in London was recently prose-
cuted for selling milk containing a
preventative drug. The official
analyst, DR.. Rideal, being called TO.
the witness box, testified that the pre-
servauive used was drug, not afood.
and that it was used by medical men
as a, drug for special cases. It had.
he said, an injurious effect upon the
kidneys by producing a secretion of
albumen, and there was abundant
medical evidence to show that Il was
very injurious to infants The small
est quantity, he added, would render
the milk injurious. s 5ss -
The result OF the trial was that the
offending milkman was tined about
three pounds and costs, although he
pleaded ignorance OF its presence in
the milk, and expressed himself as
sorry that he had failed to obtain
a written guaranty of the purity Of
the milk before purchasing eit. This
did not, however, soften the heart Of
the judge, who remarked that, while
sorry for the defendant, he was q
good deal more sorry for those who
had drank the adul terated milk.

There has also been q decrease in

There has also been a decrease in
the Importation Of Canadian horses.
The Mckinley Tariff act increased the
duty upon horses from 20 per cent.
to $50 a head, and also declared that
horses valued at $3.50 should pay O.
duty of 80 per cent. ad valcrem. In
1890 there were imported at the port
of Buffalo 1,186 horses. In the year
1891, only 735 horses were imported.
The Mckinley act further says that
cattle more than one year old shall
pay a duty Of $40 a head, instead OF
20 per cent, as formerly; and cattle
zone year old or less 50 per head"
instead of 20 per cent. In 1890 the
Canadians sent across the border
3,O28 cattle. In 1891 they exported
only 158 cattle The duty upon hay
was increased by the Mckinley act
from So to 81 ton. The effect of
this duty has been to decrease the
number of tons OF Canadian hay i'm
ported from 1,425 in 1890 to 300
tons in 1891.
The American farmer has been pro-
tected from competition, and now
has more complete command of the
home market, which belongs to him.
He has had good crops, and has OBJ
tanned far better prices for them than
he would have done if he had been
subjected to the competition of Cana,

1891 of William Thurston, the secre-,
tary of the Board ofTrade of Buffalo
states that in 1889 State barley sold
for from So to 81 cents a. hushel; in
1890, from II to 80 cents bushel;

Harrlson's administration,

The administration of President
Harrison has been in keeping with his
personal character-clean, able, con-
sentative, digniied and patriotric.
He has naturally gathered about him
men who sympathize with him in. his
views and resemble MIN more or less
in character. The general tone of the
administration has been impaired to
it by it's Chief, and there have been no
grave scandals, defalcations or other
stains to mar it's good name. The
search light of political Investigations,
seeking campaign ammunition, have
brought to view nothing that chal-
lenges criticism. An opposition Sena-
tor, in an article on the administra-
tion published in the June number of
the North American Review, does not
even hint at anything to the discredit
of his personal, motives or methods;
while Senator Dawes says:
s'He called into his Cabinet as his
advisers men who commanded at
once the fullest confidence of the coun-
try; some of them already so tried in
the public service that they had been
designated by common consent for the
pACNSCS UAlCy pO1uS I'll Ulltll WGIo
new men in public life, but brilliant
service has in each case proved the sa-
gacity and wisdom of the selection.
Subordinate offices have been filed
with able and clean men; commenda-
ton of this administration does not
demand or claim that there has been
no exception. In the vast machinery
OF this government, in operation at a
thousand points, many ofthem thous-
ands OF miles beyond the eye OF the
Executive, it never has been and never
can be the case that men who operate
it will in every instance prove them
selves fit and faithful, But one who
has witnessed the success and mis-
takes of administrations in this par
ticular during nine ofthese quadren-
NAL periods challenges without fear
for the present administration g. com
parison with any or all Of the others.''

The Democratic TARIFF Plank.

"My God" said Watterson, In his
speech in the Chicago Convention, lis
it possible that in 1892 we have to
go back for tariff plank to the
.straddle Of 1882" But it pleased
him NIGHTLY that the convention
took a jump instead OF step. The
Convention went back further than
was expected and found the courage
of it's convictions in the old tariff
declarations of the free traders who
owned labor. The old shareholders
were the men who originated the
doctrine that the Government had no
right OF power to levy a tariff to pro-
tect labor, or do ought else save raise
revenue. The Democratic platform
echoes the old doctrine otEthe slave
holding free traders that Congress had
no right or power to givefree Northern
labor any legislative privilege over
slave labor.

ing vines to the tubers, causing them
to rot. No rotting OF the tubers is
caused by the new disease. Second
The true blight or rust attacks
later potatoes the worst. The thew
disease" s confined to Dearly potatoes.
Third-the true blight or rust can
be checked by spraying with the Bor-
deaux mixture. The new disease is
not as easily checked by such spray
ing Practically, every thing in the
way of diseased potato leaves, has
been the thew disease This is every
where on early potatoes, SO far as we
can learn. The diseased plants appear
sickly and OF a yellowish cast instead
of a dark, healthy green. Soon the
leaves turn yellow and die The
death begins on uninjured leaves
about the tip and edges and they
die rather slowly, SO that they become
crisp and curl at the tip and edges as
the disease progresses. The trouble
is worse on leaves partially eaten by
potato bugs and other insects. When
ever one is injured, the disease attacks
it and spreads from these spots.
Thus a leaf may show ascore or more
OF black spots varying in size from a
pin head to a marble. In some fields
OF early potatoes all are dead or dy-s
ing. Very few potato growers will
mistake the true blight or trust"
when they see it. This disease is COM
mencing to show on later potatoes.
The large blueish- black spots appear
at any place. These spread so rapid
~ that the whole leaf is killed in
day Or two. There is not time for it
to dry and curl, but it hangs limp and
rotting from the. stem. The surest
evidence Of the blight as distinguish
ed from the new disease is the pres
ence of the mildew which causes the
blight. 1t can easily be seen on the
under side of the rapidly blghting
leaves as q delicate white mildew
which looks like frost-work upon or
about the edges of the black spots.
