the publisher Of the Freis Presse, was
sitting In his Office when be was ap
preached by a rather well-dresstd.
gentlsmsnly- appearing young German,
who introduced himself as a former
newspaper man in Germany on his way to
Cincinnati, and asked for assistance. He
showed a passport and other seemingly
genuine credentials. Mr.. Kooch was q
little dubious as TO the truth Of his
story, and compromised on quarter Of
dollar. A few minutes afterwards
another man strolled In and began the
same story, when Mr.. Kooch asked him
where his partner was. He seemed as.
tonished, but when told that the first
man had tapped the firm for all that
could be gotten, he became indignant.
He left on being threatened with arrest.
II Is surmised that other Germans have
been approached by this pair, who are

Value OF Glover" He stated that
twenty five years ago he bought a piece
OF poor land that would hardly produce
corn and not more than eight bushels Of
wheat per acre. Without the use Of
fertilizers 1t has been made, by the
growth OF clover thereon, to produce
forty to fifty bushels OF wheat and an
average Of 200 bushels OF potatoes He
said that the clover should be cut several
times, clipping off only the tops
and letting them fall down. BY so
doing the weeds are kept down and the
clover is made thicker He said two
crops was the yield per season. The
| first one should be saved for feed, and
the last should be left on the land and
plowed under In the following spring He
stated that the success with Glove r
was Que to two facts, viz. That
it's roots penetrate down deep In
the soil and draw up the mineral sub.
stances which are constantly going
downward with the sinking rains The
second fact is that the plant has tbs
power to draw it's supply Of nitrogen
from the air, which contains many tons
of 1t to the square acre
