CLOVER CULTURE

In recent years we hear great deal
about clover-sick soil, but to many
this seems an impOssibility. Because
one fails to get a good catch of
clover one season on land that has
yielded pretty good crops right along
it does not follow that the land is clio
yer sick. There are many other rea-
sons why clover should not take well
even on land that has produced it for
many years. Climatic changes are fire.
quent causes Of very poor crops Of
clover. The lack of sufficient rain at
the right time may cause the COM
plete failure Of crop.
The same applies to clover as to
other crops in the matter Of contin-
ually cropping only one kind Of crop
from the soil. If we grow nothing but
clover on the field, and apply only
such common fertilizers that clover
seems to demand, the soil may in time
run short Of many of the mineral ele-
ments that every crop requires. 1t
will be rich in heterogeneous material,
but poor in phosphates, lime and SINH
lar substances. A rotation Of crops,
with diversified fertilizing, is conse-
quently quite necessary for growing
clover successfully. If this is the
meaning Of clover sickness in land, it
may be admitted that some soils do
suffer in this way. But in the MAORI
ty of the cases the failure to get a
good clover catch is due to poor soil,
unfavorable weather or lack of prop
er seeding and preparation Of the land.
There are many parts of the country
where clover is depended upon a great
deal for giving new strength and fer
tility to the soil, and it would be
severe blow to successful agriculture
if the idea were made prevalent that
our soil is injured by growing too
much clover The preaching about
clover sick land simply means this.
Where there is one acre of soil that is
suffering from too much clover there
are millions that do not get enough.
So rare and few will the former cases
be that it is scarcely worth while to
mention them.
Very often when the clover will not

The modern motto I'll adopt
Whatever is, is wrong"

We'd bask in summers charm:
What hours Of sweet content we'd

If heat were not so warm,
What blissful comfort we could

In months that now speed lily!
What weeks Of indolent repose,
If cold were not so chilly.
Think of the rambleS we might take.
With freedom from regret.
Consulting naught but our desires

THE ETIQUETTE OF SNEEzING.

Referring to a recent paragraph
about the German emperor and his
introduction" at court of sneeze-
greeting, a correspondent says: 1.-THE
custom of saying health to anyone
who sneezes is very old, the answer
to it being, Thank you! 1t is to be
traced back to some hundred years
ago, when an epidemic was raging,
winding up in a sneezing fit. High
and low, at court and in a peasants
cottage, this wish, expressed by the
word health was and is usual. His
majesty may laughingly have referred
to the old custom, which may begin
to be falling into disuse, but certainly
he cannot have introduced with his
words-if they are as reported-some-

catch well on sandy land an applica-
ton of a little plaster will make the
plants grow luxuriantly. The plaster
besides gives the necessary element
for growth, also tends to retain the
moisture in the soil during dry sea-
sons, and by liberal use of it a good
crop can b grown during very dry
summers. Now if on the so-calied cIo-
yer sick lands little plaster was ap-
piled the results would be similar. In
stead of being clover sick we would
ind that the soil was simply starving
for plaster. When clover shows a ten
dency TO dry up or refuse to make a
good growth an application of plaster
should be made ovel the field 1t is
better to apply it When the land is first
seeded, and then again when the
plants are few inches high, followed
by a third application six or seven
weeks later. If more plaster was used
we would hear less about clover sick
soils.-A. B. Barrett, in American Cul-
tivator.

himself, not only in the art of farm

is engaged in it. Straight rows make
more successful farmer and a more
intelligent man of the one who draws

A STEEL SAFE.
Which Is Said to Be Absolutely Proof
Against Burglars,

The shoemaker can with certainty
guard against some of the burglars
modes of attack by making his safe
of manganese steel, says the American
Machinist. The burglar can draw the
temper of any common steel plate, or
OF any composite plate, by simply ap-
plying a blOw-pipe, such as he can buy
at any hardware shop. The temper
drawn he can drill it as if it were so
much soft iron. But he cannot draw
the temper of manganese steel in any
way, for neither heat nor any other
known thing will soften it. Let him
heat it with his blow-pipe, and as soon
as it is cool enough not to draw the
temper of his drill it will be as hard
as ever. Some of our safemakers are
now experimenting with this material
for this reason.
1t is not only so hard that it cannot
be drilled, but also so tough and due
tile that it can neither be broken nor
cracked by sledging. Moreover. no
matter how thick the plates which the
shoemaker uses, they are uniformly
hard clear through, undrillable and
unbreakable from one face to the
other. A five-inch late of manganese
steel has five solid inches of undrillable
metal. AS it can be cast readily,
safe or a chest can be made in a single
piece, and walls absolutely of any
thickness, a foot or even two feet
thick, can be made readily and at
moderate cost.
Finally, once a burglar is incarcer-
ated behind bars of manganese steel
he cannot escape, for he can neither
file nor mash them.

A WORD FOR THE PLIM.

There is an opening for more plum
orchards. The fruit is relatively scarce
in market, and usually in most places
the price is high. Next to the apple,
and perhaps the peach, it takes Its
place in public estimation. 1t is suited
to wider range than the peach in
soil and climate. Where locally abun-
dant the price may be reasonable, but
there are always places where the
fruit will command in retail markets
from 60 cents to 81 a peck
Why should not the demand be sup
piled? Why is it necessary for the
eastern consumer to go to California
for a supply? And especially why
English plum jams be found on the
counter of any popular city grocer?
1t is absurd to assume that there is
any insuperablG difficulty in their pro-
ductiOn. Whatever obstacles to sue
cess can be suggested are only oppor-
tunities for skill in culture and care
in treatment that will bring large re-
suits which are denied to the multi
tude that simply plant trees and leave
them to the tender mercieS of disease
and insects.
The black knot is bar to success
in neglected orchards. 1t is likely to
come in, and if tolerated, quite certain
to- destroy the orchard Watched
closely, cut off and burned, it can be
eXterminated, CIR ct least the injury
can be reduced to a minimum. When
fortified with nitrogen, phosphOric
acid and potash, trees almost dead
have been revived.
The rot is also a troublesome dis
ease, which has been successfully
treated with the Bordeaux mixture
and sulphur. Some apply an ammOnt-
acal solution before the buds come
out in leaf, and the mixture two or
three times after poisoning, with sui
phur, about the time of ripening. All
rotten fruit should be picked off and
destroyed
The curculiO is the arch enemy Of
the plum, but labor and persistence
will compass his destruction. Spray
with Paris green, after the blossoms
are gone, at intervals of a week or ten
days, cftcner if heavy rain falls, half
a dozen times Three ounces to forty
gallons of water will do. Earring the
trees has also been successful, but it
is perhaps not so sure, as ordinarily
done, as spraying. The canker worm
can also be killed by Paris green.
Thoroughness in treatment, with in
telligence that cOmpasses all the diff
cuIties, will insure a crop, if not de-
stroyed at the start by frost. The
compensation for this care will be
large and surer on account of the neg
lect and slothfulness Of so many care
less growers.
With care, plum growing ray be
reasonably sure and certainly profit
able The, would be a good market,
with proper attention to handling and
distribution, for two or three times as
many as are new grown. Plums and
prunes are among the most profitable
fruits of California, though shipped to
very distant markets across the CONT
nent, or dried for use at any season
Of the year in all ATTITUDES. Many
eastern fruit growers find great profit
in plums, and it seems strange that so
many others should fail or be frighten-
ed from attempting their cultivation
by obvious yet avoidable difficulties

A HINT ON VENTILATION.
An Important Matter Too Often
Neglected.

4NtSleClCu.
At a session of a Woman'S club not
long ago, which lasted three hours, a
dozen clever women took part in a
brilliant discussion which followed the
reading of the paper for the day.
The room was filled, at least fifty
women being present; the gas was
lighted before the exercises were half
over, and the air became intolerably
close. The voices Of the speakers
grew weak in their laboriOus effort
to be heard in the vitiated atmosphere,
but nobody thought of ventilation till
a woman on the verge of fainting rose
and opened window.
The ladies were settling an abstract
question and the near practical one
was ignored. 1t is remarkable how
little attention is paid to this supreme
matter of ventilation by intelligent
men and women. An assembly one
pose of discussing hygienic reforms,
breathed its devitaliZed air over and
over again for two hours before any
one discovered the cause of the uni
versal discomfort and opened a win
dow.
If our threats are thirsty we hasten
to get a glass of water, but our chok-
ing lungs are left in their distress
without relief There are times when
a good draught of fresh air is worth
hours of literature or social economics.
