little or nothing from teaching; potash
salts, as crude German salts or as wood
ashes, are readily soluble in water and
subject TO loss through drainage. The
distribution process of soil moisture
tends to make a most impartial appor-
tionment Of potash throughout the sub
soil and far down into the subsoil. Even
added TO the soil in quantities suited to
the feeding demand of the plant, the
supply of potash may become deficient.
Glover sickness, however, is rarely ever
due to such complex causes. 1t is usual
ly due to n simple point bank deficiency
of both the chief mineral elements of
fertility-phosphate of lime and potash.
A correspondent of American Cultiva-
tor, writing from Cumberland county,
n. j., adds to the foregoing that in his
section clover sickness is very common,
particularly on rented farms with ten
ants Of the one year rotation. Where the
minerals are properly applied, quality
and quantity and a rational rotation
practiced, he hears nothing Of clover
sickness. Wood ashes are an excellent
source Of potash, but they run so irregu-
larly and are so easily subject to adul-
teration that he has largely abandoned
them for the crude commercial salts,
which prove equally beneficial.

A Good Glover Catch.

An eastern New York correspondent
complains of the increasing difficulty of
getting good clover catch in his sec
tion. He thinks the trouble is that the
land is too rich in nitrogen. American
Cultivator, however, believes that the
soil has been too much cropped and is
not mellow and friable as it used to be.
Not enough care is taken in spring to
get the soil in good condition for seed
ing with clover. The seed is very small,
and if the soil has been plowed for a
spring crop the upturned furrow does
not make good seed bed. The best seed
ing is with winter grain, which is light
ly narrowed early in spring just before
the clover seed is sown. The authority
quoted Jhinks there will be no failure
this way and adds:
We always have found that phosphates
with grain crops helped the clover quite
as much as they did the grain. But
some farmers use phosphates to grow
successive grain crops without clover.
That, of course, is injurious, but land
so treated would not have too large a
supply of nitrogen to grow clover. We
do not believe clover sickness is to be
feared in this country for many years
yet. If very rich land fails to grow
clover, it is because grain and weeds
smother it while young.

The Man Who Cannot See That Foreign

Woolen manufacturers are certainly
not in that prosperous condition That
was promised them as soon as they could
secure free wool The enormous demand
for goods Immediately upon the passage
of the Wilson bill created such an
amount of work that it kept all mills
busy, both in this country and England.
Both there and here factories have been
running steadily and without interrup,
tion. The urgent demand for goods q
woolen texture has heen supplied, and
stocks have been replenished to Ger.

buying as freely as occurred in 1892
The first and most serious competition
felt from abroad was IN the worstcd
trades, the wooleu manufacturer man
aging to hold his own. But lie has not,
as a general thing, orders enough in
hand to carry his looms through tie
next few months. Tho Tcxtile Mana
facturers' journal Of New York says:
"The processes Of manufacturing re-

about two months production on spring

only look at the figures of importations
of goods to determine the manufac.ur-

see in these figures an unsatisfactory
condition for the domestic mauufac,ur-
er. If the foreign manufacturer is sup-
plying a large portion Of the needs f
the market, he must be doing it at Tie

NAMES ROMANCE.

Aliokie Rafferty, stood on the doorstep
and looked up and down the alley. Just
across the way an electric lamp glOwed
and sputtercd. In front of him crUuOhed
Jimsey. Everybody who reads The Post
knows that Jimscy is Mike Haley's pink
nosed bulldog, but few of the many know
that Mickie and Jimsey are the very best

"Der amt no use a-talkir, " said
Mickie as he ignitod his last cigarette and
tossed the empty box into the gutter, 'but

Jimsey whined whine OF qualification
and Tapped his pipe stem OF tail on tho
naked pavement, while Mlckie put his
hand in the pocket Of his coat and fingered
the last quarter he had in the world.
Presently old man Madigan came out Of
the front door of his two story brick,
and seeing Mickie and Jimsey muttered
mething that sounded like ON loaf
ers, both of 'em! Then Madigan filled
and lighted his imported pipe and walked
out Of the alley. When he turned the OoP'

walked over TO Madigan's two story brick,

Vitality of Seeds.

At the annual session Of the Society
For the Promotion of Agricultural
Science was reported among the results
of seed testing comparison in vitality
between corn kept in the ordinary crib
and that which had been hung up in
some warm, dry place, or otherwise
thoroughly dried. Over 600 samples
were tested. Those carefully dried gave
an average termination of 93 per cent,
while those from the crib an average of
only SO per cent. Another interesting
observation was the remarkable power
of reorganization exhibited by certain
seeds. Wheat will germinate no less
than ten times after intervals Of a week
or more, during which time the seeds
were kept perfectly dry. Corn will ger
inmate five or six times after complete
drying. Clover and timothy will ger
inmate but once, as rule.

The small size Of the logs now cut and
driven on the great rivers in New Eng
land, and, i'll fact, in the west, is very
noticeable. At Bangor there are many
marks of logs requiring 0 to II logs to
the thousand feet Logs intended for
pulp wood run even smaller than this.
The same is true ON the Kennebec, the
AndroscoRgin and the Connecticut riv
ers Several lots Cf logs cut in st. Croix
waters last winter, intended for the
sawmills at Calais, required 10 logs to
the thousand feet. Calais can no longer
furnish large spruce lumber Her logs
will saw out no 12 inch lumber and but
a small proportion of 10 inch. This all
indicates depletion of the spruce for
ests and rate of cutting far beyond the
natural growth, according to The Amer
ican Cultivator, which tells that in five
years the decrease in diameter Of the
pine trees cut for lumber has been 35
per cent.

The dcxtority of sea ottors in turning
and doubling upon their pursuers Is due
to the strength Of their hind paws, which
have five webbpd fingers or toes, the center
one being shortest like those of a seal.
Their tails are used as Tudders, but are
not so long rs those of the common otter.
Their love of life. their hurmlessness, their
innocence their beauty and their tender,
tireless care of their babies also, should
make man their friend and admirer. Per
haps he would be if love of money were
not his supreme passion.
Common uttCrs have short, webbed
front paws that are used as dcftly as hands
by men, fins by fish, or feet by land quad
ruTods Their hind legs are short and are
set well back for padding swiftly. Their
muscular tails serve ms tlllers, and are im-
portant parts of "A machinery that over

They are able to make abrupt turns and

from their natural enemies, They are
said to be so untirlng in the sea that fish
never escape them. OF course II is only in
geological gardens that the shy and crafty
habits of utters can be closely studied. In
tanks Of water they sometimes deftly catch
and hold several fish at once, and often
kill many more than they can eat, as If the

lines are run with a spirit level, follow
ing the contour IF the surface so as to
give perfectly level line A furrow is
run along this line, and a similar fur
row is run along a lower contour, the
distance apart depending upon the ma.
ture of the land and the slope of the sur
face, as in case of sidehill bitches.
Theoretically it is intended TO have
the surface between these two burrows
level, SO that there will be no chance
for the water to run off over the sur.
face. On a small scale this leveling can
be done with a horse shovel, and the
land thus put at once into a condition to
prevent washing. In this case the banks
of the terrace are sodded or seeded with
grass to prevent them from washing In
field practice, however, the soil is moved
gradually with plow, the furrow being
thrown always down hill, and the soil
gradually worked down into level
plain.
There are several forms of reversible
plows which are admirably adapted to
this purpose, bieng turned readily from
a right to a left handed plow, so that,
in going back end forth, the furrow is
always thrown down hill. 1t requires,
of course, number of years of such cul-
tivation to get the surface into even ap-
proximately a level condition, but with
patience and thorough cultivation, the
soil very quickly assumes a compare
lively level aspect, and erosion is re-
duced to a minimum. This is a more
expensive method, but if intelligently
done, it is much more efficient and much
more durable than depending upon side
hill bitches to prevent erosion, accord
ing to Southern CultivatOr, authority
for these suggestions. As with sidehill
bitches, however, unless this work is
well done, it had much better be left
undone, as it may seriously injure the
field

Winter Oats.

The New England Homestead reports
that a thorough examination into the
winter oats question warrants the con-
clusion that they cannot be relied on
farther north than middle Delaware,
which is farther south than southern
New Jersey, except the Cape May dis
trict. In very favorable localities and
seasons they may occasionally survive a
winter i'll southern New Jersey, but in
far the majority of cases they will
prove total failure.
