CORN AND cLcvE7.
1t Is Profitable to Let Them Grow Side
by Side.


by Side.
We have the secret in eastern corn
culture in the way that corn and clover
are grown together. Large corn crops
in the east means corresponding clover
crops. We have found that clover sod
is the best for corn, and such field
requires only small amount of ma
nure for two successive years, or even
longer But without the clover the
land requires heavy manuring and in
course of time the soil degenerates
even in spite of Leavy manuring, SO
that only inferior crops of corn can be
cultivated. Both crops are good for
feeding. The hay is valuable for the
stock, and doubly valuable as manure
made by animals than any other feed.
Clover supplies nitrogen in large guam
titles and corn is especially lacking i'll
this quality. The clover consequently
supplies what corn can never do. both
to the animal and to the soil Clover
farmer lose by planting his fields with
it every few years. 1t is not without
some promises of success that the at
tention OF western farmers is called to
these methods of eastern farmers The
former may grow more corn than the
latter, but they do not produce much
more than one-half to the acre. More
attention spent to less land would cost
less, and would undoubtedly produce
better results In the western lands
where soil is surely degenerating, and
where land is cheap, 1t would certainly
pay to divide the present large farms
up into clover and corn fields. Let
both be growing side by side and when
one has grown on the field for two
years then reverse the order. Plant
the corn on the clover sod and SOW the
corn stubble to clover. 1t would not
be surprising If the farm would yield
more and better corn on half the farm
than formerly on the whole, and the
clover crop will be left over as clear
gain. "A. B. Barrett, in Rural World

The union between Sweden and Nor
way is in great danger Of being broken.
The two states are loosely tied, but the
Norwegians are impatient of their
slight letters, and, under cover Of re-
quest for separate foreign agents, seek
a total separation. The king In vain
suggested compromise, and II Is stated
that the radicals have resolved, II he re-
fuses to establish two foreign minis
tries. to resign and refuse the supplies
1t is scarcely possible that the king
should yield, as his foreign policy would
become unworlSable--the Norwegians
for example, desire close relations with
Russia--yet, If he does not, he must oc-
cupy Norway with Swedish troops, to
the confusion of the finances and the
production of another great and def
mite grievance in Norway. The true
motives Of the movement are the Nor
wegian dislike OF the Swedes, whom
they regard as supercilious, and the adj
vance of theoretic democracy In Nor
way to a point inconsistent with any
monarchy at all.

THE MANIA OF HAsTEFuLNEss.

It's Victims Are Hurried INCREASINGLY Until
They Collapse to Nervous Prostratton
1t belongs to the family of germ dis
eases, this universal busy feeling of
which every woman complains whether
she rides in her coach or walks to save
car fare. The professional woman is
no more hurried any more than her
non-professional sister with nothing to
do Indeed, because some cares and
duties are eliminated from her daily
life on account of professional demands,
not infrequently the woman of business
has more real leisure than the woman
who has everything expected of her,
because all her friends think she has
nothing to do Rather, we will say,
her attack of the disease is more acute.
just as in typhoid, the microbe of this
disease feeds upon his fellows until,
like the Kilkenny cats, nothing is left
of them Then all at once the busy
woman has nothing to do but to lie
down in dim, quiet rooms, to be served
by skilled hands, to be fed nourishing
food, and to be bathed and rubbed and
rocked like baby. Clubs, cooks,
charities, teas, lectures, even chill
dren cannot hurry her. They call it
nervous prostration, but it is only that
the microbe is exterminated- BY and
by she gets up again, rested and younger
by ten years in looks and feelings, but
the bacilli swarm. She gets the infec-
ton again and has it worse than be-
fore. You see there's no help for it,
for every one is too busy to discover the
microbe. No one has time to investi-
gate the conditions of the disease. No
quarantine can be maintained, for
everybody has it, except perhaps, dis
trict messenger boys, walters, cash
boys and other peers of the realm. One
woman stands on record as the most
remarkable phenomenon of her day
the woman who is not YEARLY, slav-
ishly, hurriedly busy. She was talk
ing with her friend in car the other
day Her white hair was combed
smoothly down above a face that must
have been strikisgly handsome in its
day. Her widows bonnet and black
gown were exquisitely neat. "Yes,"
she was saying, 'it is rather hard work
for an old lady, still am never so busy
as to hurry me. don't let the work
drive ma I take 1t aisy like and it
doesn't fash me at all. you see" She
was professional laundress, one Of
the old-fashioned ones that bring You
your things white and sweet from the
hand-cleansing process. One feels that
they have reached the pot of gold at
the foot of the rainbow to discover a
woman not infected with the disease
But she is philosopher and wiser than
most of her kind IN. Y. Sun.

greatest Hamilton overcame all OBJ
stacles; he actually induced all colonies
to pass substantially the same post
Office act, prescribing the same postage
rates; he obtained from each colony
what authority erequired, and in 1898
the mail was carried from Portsmouth,
n. H., then known as Piscataqua, to
Philadelphia and beyond. 1t has been
carried ever since with but accidental
Interruptions. The mail route was from
Portsmouth to Boston, Saybrook, New
Haven, New York Perth Amboy, Bur-
linpton and Philadelphia The chief
point beyond was New Castle.
The question may well be asked,
which was the greater achievement to
create this service, or to get Pennsyl-
vania, New York and Massachusetts,,
not to mention the other colonies, to be
of one mind in renouncing local rights
and local offices, to agree on postal
system that did not exist, and to prom
Use money to carry the enterprise into
effect Neither before nor after 1898
has there been like triumph in all
American legislation The greatest of
these Hamilton acts is the Massachu-
sets law of June 9, 1893, which pro-
vides even for the receiving stamp to
be put on all mail matter; but the most
important, perhaps, is the Pennsylvania
act, passed on May 30, 1893, at Philade.-
phia
The reason for this statement is the
fact that the Massachusetts, act was
disallowed by their lordships in Lon
don, while the Pennsylvania act was
not subject to superior approval vir-
Qinia, New York and Connecticut
passed similar acts; New Hampshire
helped If date for the great bi-cen-
tenary of the American post Office must
be named, May 80 appears to be the
most appropriate, the earlier steps
being preliminary, while the Pennsyl-
vania act assured the success of Hamil-
toms plan, and was promptly followed
by the post-riders making their regular
weekly trips between Portsmouth and
Philadelphia If there is to be gen.
eral celebration it ought to be in the
latter city. Hamilton deserves monu-
ment, which ought to stand in front OF
the Philadelphia post Office.
More imam any one IhluS, haihhooA
post Office served to establish a closer
union between the several colonies and
their people. His post Office was not
only great civilizer. but a vast politi-
cal need that helped to establish the
United Colonies, just as the post Office
under benjamin Franklin, in 1775,
helped in no small degree to establish
the limited States. No department of
the national government except the
post Office, can boast of an unbrolSen
history covering two centuries, and no
service had for its originator and head
man superior to Andrew Hamilton. =
