when to Sow crimson clover.

According to rules laid down by an
agricultural writer in The American
Cultivator, crimson clover ought to be
sown broadcast at the rate Of 10 to Is
pounds per acre in the north from July
Is to Oct. 10, in the northern tier of
southern states until Oct. Is and in the
extreme south until the end Of Novem-
Der. 1t grows during the fall and spring
months and can be seeded among grow
ing corn after the last working Or on
clean stubble, in tomato fields, among
grapes, tobacco, ETC., and will take root
without being raked in or covered with
soil. If the ground is moist, it spreads
very rapidly. Probably the best way of
seeding is to prepare the ground as for
any other crop and lightly harrow in
and roll the soil.

who visited the garden last week were
delighted with the Japanese village and
they cannot understand how the manage

timely arrival of his wife, the only per-
son in town who knew the combina-

had been at Cloverdale, and on her re-
turn here about 4 o'clock learned that
the treasurer had not been home to
dinner. The children said they had
taken his dinner to him and left it in
front Of the office, but they could not
get in.
Mrs. Stofcn, suspecting something
wrong, rushed down to the office,
which is on the south corner Of the
court house. and adjoining the sher-
iff's office. The door was locked, but
with the aid of the janitor she opened
the door. Between the front part Of
the office and ueasurcr's front office
Is a wicket gate. This also was locked.
Once inside, Mrs. Stofen found her
fears realized. On one desk was her
husbands coat and hat On the floor
in confusion were money trays on
which the treasurer carried money

trays down the robbcr struck him n

New Process OF Gn. Making.

As the result probably of sharp com

making and consumption have under
gone many improvements in recent
years. indeed, at least one gas expert
has claimed that the gas art has made
greater advantages than the electric
lighting art in the same period. OF
course, the great objection remains
that there is n naked flame ur'ng up s
certain proportion OF the necessa y CON
sutuents Of healthy atmosphere; but
the vast majority Of people are still
very Indifferent to this. provided their

Such is she who all praises of na-

though she knows 1t not. Yet she is
so exceptional that her portrait Is not
merely the portrait of an ideal woman;
ii Is the portrait of her single self and
bears her name. The new world and
the old have formed her. Alert and
gentle, she is the vigilant critic of both,
and from neither has she accepted any
grace that she has not improved by
happy uansplantation, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. 1t has been so with her
person. The delicate American head
is carried by the tall figure strength
ened by days Of walking across the
German hills; her mind is quickcned
by two educations. and her manners
have a Statelness that is new and a
simplicity that is old. She is sure OF
herself as a charming girl and an
American and as modest as the heircss
of historic nobilitieS
No one else speaks so well. She has
no accent but her own. You could not
tell whether Boston or Paris or Munich
or London has touched her English.
for it has nothing noticeable except Its
freedom from the faults of each. She
would be confessed a stranger purely

capital in Europe and America: and
every province would own the short
ness of her sojourning. Town and
country alike would be eager TO claim
more than her presence. Conscious of
their vulGarities, they would deny such
4 daughter.
This lady's Cirlhood grew grave In
the new World where girls are queens,
and her womanhrod grew gay in the
old world where the queens are mar
ried. She has never been without n
crown. Her face is fairer than the hair
they dream of in Paris. and fairer than
the hair they know of in Germany.
She has shown the people of the remote
Baltic coasts what il is to be a blonde,
but to the faireSt of all nations she can
not have looked like one of themselves.
They knew no more blonde place on
earth. and so many have conjectured
her blonde from the planet Venus.
Her genius Is International. and fed
not only by literature in the living Ian
gauges. but by scholarship in the dead.
To harp again upon her spccch-for 1t
is musical string to harp upnn-you
will never take this dear stranger for
an English woman. Boston alone can
fully tell by what reiinements she
rebukes the Boston manner of sroeCh
and we in London are we'll aware by
what rerinenents she rcproves our own.
We would wish for our children no
better lesson than to hear her. She has
humor. too. in her open eyes.
