CRIMSON CLOVER. - This plant has
proved to be a great blessing TO the farm
srs Of Delaware, New Jersey and Mary
land and there seems to be no rood rsa-
Ton why 1t may not be very valuable to
the Missouri farmers.
Its chief value IL In keeping up the
fertility OF the soil. As = hay crop IL will
never take the place Of the common red
clover since the yield Is not a. great
ordinarily and IL would have to be har-
vested in this state from May 10th to
20th-a season when hay making would be
iraught with many difficulties. It grows
but one year and 10 usually sown In
standing corn Immediately after the last
cultivation and plowed under the next
spring about the middle Of May for
manure.
1t has succeeded we'll at the experiment
station located in Boone county. Al the
New Jersey station a study OF the amount
Of valuable fertilizing material produced
by this crop per acre cut ut three different
stages OF growth showed for the entire
plant (including tops, stubbls and ~roots).
Cut April "a, plants five to seven inches
high, 1903 pounds Of nitrogen at Is cents
per pound s16.5s per acre.
Cut May IL, plants twelve to fourteen
inches high, 1853 pounds Of nitrogen at 10
cents amounts to S26.ss per acre.
Cut May "a, plants in blossom 100
pounds OF nitrogen at 16 cents amounts
TO S39.40 per acre.
Nitrogen, IL should be remembered, 10
one Of the fertilizing elements needed in
most Of our soils, especially such as have
been grown for a long time In corn and
wheat. II commercial fertilizers are
purchased to restore its fertility nitrogen
costs us at least IS cents per pound.
Crimson clover, In common with other
ing at least a portion Of Its nitrogen sup
ply from the air. Just what proportion
OF the amount above named is gotten in
the above way is not definitely known.
Corn, wheat, oats, timothy and blue
grass must have their nitrogen furnished
In the soil. They can not take 1t from
the air as can these clovers.
From these facts it ia clear that crimson
clover will be valuable in restoring worn
out soils and in maintaining the fertility
In our productive soils wherever the
climate is adapted to it. 1t seems to do
we'll on most soils and is worthy OF a trial
In every county in the state next season.
II you wish more information as to the
methods Of growing, ETC., watch this
column or write to the Director Of the
Experiment Station at Columbia.

A Use For the Shark.

Probably few people who have read
the countless stories of the savage shark,
the bandit of the seas, as he is called,
know that he is a very useful creature
for man. The liver is found to contain
an oil Of beautiful color, which never
becomes turbid and possesses medicinal
qualities of a very valuable character.
The skin, after being dried, takes the
polish and hardness Of mother of pearl,
and OH being marbled bears resem-
blance to fossil coral, SO that it is en-
ployed by jewellers for the manufacture
Of fancy objects, by binders for making
shagreen and by cabinet makers for pol
ishing wood. The fins, independent of
use by some as an article of food, are
superior for conversion into fish glue,
competing in this line with the well
known sturgeon glue prepared in Rus
STA. and are used for clarifying beer,
wine and other liquors, also for the
preparation of English taffetas and as
reagents in chemistry, etc. The flesh,
too, despite its oily taste, is in some
places eaten as food, and, along with
the bones, is converted into fertilizer.

The Ipgepious King.

The Ingenious King.
Apropos of Queen Margherita's de-
votiOn to her husband, little anecdote
is told which believe to be perfectly
true. The locks Of King Humbert, be
it told, were formerly as black as a
ravens wing, and the pride Of his
charming consort's heart. Almost sud-
denly these locks turned white, and the
queen, like the fond wife she is, quite
fretted over the fact. A certain little
delicacy of feeling prevented her from
referring to the matter with her hus-
band. So, without saying a word, she
purchased bottle of black hair dye, and
one morning placed it on the king g
dressing table.
The day wore on and King Humbert
appeared at luncheon as usual with his
own white hair. greatly to the queens
secret disappointment. Now, the queen
owned a pet in a little dog, white as
snow, and the dog, as the afternoon
wore on, failed to come, as usual, to his
mistress side. What was her surprise
when the door opened and he bounded
in with coat as black as ink. The king
followed, smiling broadly. "You see,
he said, 1.-THE use to which I have put
the hair dyev" From that day Queer
Margherita resigned herself to the fac
that her lord preferred to leave his lock-
to natures own observation-disclosures q

The people Of Calhoun county are
so thoroughly interested in the prop
osition to build railroad from Ma
comb through McDonough, SchuJ-
Ter. Brown, Pike and Calhoun coun-
ties to Jerseyville, that an animated
rivalry has sprung up between the
people OF the east and west sides of
Calhoun. each being afraid that the
railroad will go down the other side.
The people OF Hamburg and Bach
town and the residents Of the Mis-
sissippi side OF the county want the
railroad to come their way. and the
Thomas Pressed Brick company is
more than anxious to have railroad
facilities at the plant. On the other
hand, the people Of Hardin aud the
east side Of the county are deter
mined that the road shall come their
way and are making strenuous efforts
to secure IL. There is now an under.
standing that the road will go To the
highest bidder, and the people OF the

have canvassed along the route and

Quincy Herald.
The bond issues under Cleveland,
increasing the public debt. were only
another Of the disastrous results Of
surplus-looting, confidence-destroy-
ing republican rule. When Harri-
son retired there was q ''run" in
progress on the treasury gold which
threatened to compel the suspension
Of gold payments and to force the
country TO n deprecated silver basis.
Secretary Foster advised The max
ing OF loan during the last weeks OF
Harrison's term and ordered the
plates made for thel proposed bonds.
but the president adjourned to his
successor the duty Of making the
loan which republican administra'
ton rendered necessary.
As the first deficit occurred under
Harrison, so was the need Of making
n loan to sustain the public credit
developed under the republican pres
ident.
The public credit was undermined
during the Harrison administration
aud there followed as natur al result

alysis which caused the wide dis

There was no bird at all

Ny heart went into the storm.
And when the night was mirk,
And on the shrieking sea
The wind was doing its work
Ny heart came back to me.

Out Of the storm and din,
Out Of the night and rain,
rose and let her in.
