The only rational and truly econom-
ical way of restoring.the lost fertility
of our long cultivated soils is
through the medium of leguminious
crops grown specially for manurial
purposes.
There are several clovers that our
southern farmers can use for restoring
the humus that has been almost en-
tirely burnt out in the pasttwenty-fiye
years.
We wish that we could persuade a
few thousand farmers who read the
Southern Farm to make fair test of
sowing clover with their grain. If
they could be persuaded to try it once
and make a success of it we would
soon see perfect tidal wave of soil

probably the most remarkable horse
in the United States, and his one
sorrow, according to the Philadelphia
record, is that the park comlnission-
ers will not permit the animal TO be
driven through their beautiful do
main. The horse is a middle-aged,
well-proportioned Kentucky gelding,
about 8 years old, and once upon q
time was as white as snow Drift at
the north pole.
Two years ago a young medical
student, who was studying ut; the
University of Pennsylvania, and
boarded at Mr.. Jollife's residence, sug-
gested that in honor of the Fourth OF
July Dashaway the gelding's name be
decorated in the natural colors. He
told Mr.. Jollife that he had two harm
less dyes which would soon fade out,
and pointed out what unique and
sensational horse Dashaway could be
transformed into by an artistic use
of the dyes. AS Mr.. Jollife was agree
able, the student boiled his dyes and
with O. large brush stained the
horses head, neck and fore
legs a bright crimsonish red, the
"barrel" was left white; and the tanks
and hind legs were stained a brilliant
blue. The effect was SO exqrisitely
beautiful that Mr. Jollife and hi,
family drove about the vicinity o.
Hestonville every afternoon showing
Dashaway to their friends, and, save
for the fact that many of the horses
they met tried with more or less sue
cess to run away when the red-White
and-baue equine met their afrightei
gaze, the cup OF the Jollife's family
happiness would have been filed tt

was so great that strict orders wer,
given to the guards. to keep the patri
artic horse out of the great pfeasurl
ground. y, 4
Dashaway has been freshly diet

The porter denied the allegation Snd
said he never spread anything except
the door mat. The treasurer remark
ed that it was so anyhow, for the tlea-
sury had been in a state of prohibition
all winter, and if the members were as
dry as the exchequer was an appro-
priation should be made for irrigatiye
purposes. The president sarcastically
inquired how;an appropriation could be
made from an empty treasury and po-
litely intimated that it was about time
the treasurer paid his back dues. This
made the clubs 6nancier hot, he said
he had put more in the treasury than
all of 'em, for last fall be put Ia ashen
and a goose and shut the door onthem
The president said those dues would
not do because the hen was fool hen
with mania for sitting on door knobs,
carpet tacks, ETC., while the only goose
he ever knew of being in the treasury
was the present incumbent and that he
must take them for a flock of Roslings
if he thought to do up the club like
that. The president claimed that he
was the only one that had paid Tor he

by upsetting the kerosene can. After
quiet had been restored he said he
would read verse of scripture before
the club adjourned for the summer.

read: "And Moses was an oyster man

stand that so he proceeded to annoint

phrases. 1t looked for awhile as If the
spring meet of the club would wind-up
in a disgraceful fasco. But the racket
disturbed the slumbers of the poetical

signs of returning animation. The first

discussions, listened for moment

stuck their fingers in. their ears and

trilled this little ditty.
