Faif Sowing of Clover Seed.

The intense drought has quite gen.
orally destroyed the spring seeding OF
grass and clover. Unless q catch" of
grass is secured this season, the crop
rotation will be thrown ont of joint,
the supply of hay and pasture next
year cut short, and. soil fertility may
be lost through leaving the ground
bare.
The following suggestions are made
in the full belief that under average
weather conditions a fall catch" Of
clover and grass may be secured.
/. Burn the stubble to destroy all
rubbish that would interfere with the
perfect preparation of the seed bed.
2. Harrow repeatedly. with a disk or
spading harrow, until the soil is thor
oughly loosened to the depth of two or
three inches.
3. Pulverize the soil very finely with
9. fine tooth harrow.
4. As soou as the soil becomes thor
oughly moistened, sow the clover seed.
harrow it in lightly, and heavily roll
the ground.
The timothy or other grass seed may
he sown later, say about the usual
time of sowing wheat.
If the work is we'll done at the prop
err time, catch" will be reasonably
| certain.
NThe urgent need of combating tn,
Hessian fly, and the value OF the clover
crop as soil remover and forage
plant. should induce the farmers tc
act promptly and unitedly in their eff
forts to repaif-tlie damage already sns
tained and prevent further loss. -Bul

The stars, the birds, the winds OF June,
And tones that, swelling far and near,
Bear more than music to mine ear;
And sea, above whose chnngeless huo
The sun is bright, the sky Is blue!
Art thou mine starr Sweet love thou'lt mort

Art thou my song2 Dear love, from thee
The whole world takes its melody.
Art thou-nny! what can words impart
To tell one dream of what thou art2
Thou art my all; know that lovo

In silver dewdrops, that the earth
Receives with hushed and solemn mirth;
So thou-all seasons linked in one
Art flower, and bird, and breeze, and sun!

CHARACTER IN COWS.

Beware of fat cows. This alarm is
sounded strictly for the benefit of good
progressive dniry-men. Any one can
succeed in keeping COWS poor in flesh
simply by starving them, while only
generous feeder can make them too
fat. While generous feeding is a
necessity with good and profitable
dairying, yet the condition precedent
for profit is that the COW should
apply her excess of feed to milk
and not to fat making. The first
thing, of course, in getting up good
herd is to have large mixers, and they
should be persistent, long mixers and
also rich mixers, but such cows will
not be profitable mixers if they get
too fat. Such cows waste lots Of their
food in making fat, and should be
turned over where they belong. AS
rule fat cows will not give rich milk,
because the fat Of the food goes to the
body instcal of the pail. The proof
of this, however, must not be taken
from the looks of things alone, but
same kind Of test like the Babcock
must be used. For instance. there is
no more common mistake than to sup
pose that cows giving very yellow milk
are extra good butter makers. There
is no mJre common delusion than
to think that yellow color goes
with richness in milk. Now, the
fact is, that yellow milk contains
no more, if as much butter fat as
white milk. Appearances are often
deceptive in this line. Cows with yell
ow skins are no better for butter
making than those with white skins,
common belief to the contrary, not
withstanding. l was once principal
performer in same interesting experi-
ments in this line. We classified the
Jerseys in herd, picking out the
yellow-skinned and yellow mixers,
and pitted them against the white
skinned and white mixers. The whites
made more cream. Yellow skins and
yellow milk generally go together.
Guernseys have more yellow skins
than Jerseys, but do not give more
cream or make so much butter. Rich
ness is a race of individual character.

STEER FEEDING EXPERIMENT.

Bulletin No. 35 Of the Utah Expe-
riment Station treats of, first, the
value of straw rs a substitute for hay !;
second, short spring periods of grain
feeding; third, relative value of en-
silnge, roots, and straw as condiments; (;
fourth, value of different grain ra-
tions. The following facts are brought
out in the bulletin:
l. Steers fed on mixed hay alone
for 112 days gained 1,09 pounds per
day each.
2. Steers fed straw and hay with
grain gained 7S pounds per day each
for thirty-three days. Steers fed on
lucerne and straw for fifty-six days
gained practically nothing. Steers
fed on red clover and straw for twenty
three days gained 56 pounds per day
each.
3. Steers fed on grain and straw for
112 days gained 80 pounds per day
per steer.
4. All the steers, after having been
fed as specified in paragraphs l, A and
3, gained but "a pounds per day each
for thirty-fve days on mixed hay,
grain and roots. The smallness OF
the grain is thought to be due to the
change of food.
5. Steers housed at night and in a
yard during the day, when fed on hay
and grain. and either roots, straw OF
ensilage, gained 1.35 pounds per day
each for eighty-four days.
6. The experiments indicate that any
attempt to crowd steer late in the
spring, after he has been moderately
well fed, will result in loss.
7. Roots made more gain than
either straw or ensilage.
s. As the amount of grain fed in.
creased the growth increased, and the
cost of the gain decreased.
o. Steers bought at two cents and
feed in the manner indicated during
the winter, cannot be sold at profit
in the spring for less than three cents

Perpetual Motion.

The idea that perpetual motion may
be realized, or that machine may be
made to run itself until worn out, is
one of the most fascinating and per-
sistent fallacies that has ever gained
hold upon the human mind. Most of
the machines of this kind have existed
only in the imagination of the inven-
tors, but some Of the motors have
been actually built, and few Of them
have been shown in operation. An
interesting example, recalled the other
day by President Henry Morton, of
the Stevens Institute of Technology,
is furnished by the once famous Read
hefer perpetual motion machine.
Large sums of money were sunk in
this, as in more recent scnemes like
the "Keely motor," and for the pur-
pose of exposing the fraud involved, a
small motor was constructed about
eighty years ago by Isaiah Lukens, at
the suggestion of Nathan Sellers.
This is preserved in the collection of
the Franklin Institute at Philadel-
phia. The model consists of hori-
zontal circular table on pivoted ver-
tical shaft, with two inclined planes
mounted on wheels en- the table and a
car containing two removable weights
on each inclined plane. Levers at
tached to the inclined planes and the
cars are supposed to transmit to the
central shaft the tendencies o. the iI-
clined planes to run from under the
cars and of the cars to run down the
inclined planes, and these tendencies
are supposed to rotate the central
shaft. The arrangement IS admirably
simple in more senses than one, but,
wonderful to relate, it seems to work.
The machine stops when the weights
are removed from the car, but starts
when they are replaced, and under ia
vorable circumstances may run indef-
initely. This startling phenomenon
tends to shake the novice's faith in the
conservation of energy. Close inves.
tigation, however, reveals the fact
that the base of the machine hides a
train OF clockwork, whose springs can
be wound through one of the orna-
mental knobs Of the models glass
case. This clockwork drives the plate
on which the central vertical shaft is
pivoted, and the frictions are 30 ad-
iusted that when the cars are loaded
the turning plate will drive the shaft,
but with out the weights in the cars the
friction is insufficient. pt.-Trenton IN.

hatch them in your hand by blowing
your breath upon them. A small
worm thus makes its appearance. You
can readily see how easily then the
bot gains access to the stomach. The
horse licks himself, the bot thus being
Matched, and on the tongue or lips Of
the horse, you see, IL is easy then for
the bot to pnss to the stomach with
food or drink, where he attaches him
self to the insensible walls of the
stomach and lives there, by absorp-
tion, year. He is then grown; he
lets go his hold, passes out, bursts
open and emerges as the bot fly. In
short, this is his round of existence.
His life in the horse is merely passive,
and does no harm unless he should be-
come so numerous that he might OBJ

is very, very rare.
No matter what disease horse dies
of, the stomach often partially digests

How a Fish Comes to the Surface.

A curious physiological discovery
has been made in the past year by
Professor Bohr, of Copenhagen, in re-
gard to the mode of storage by which
a fish accumulates so much oxygen in
the air that distends the swimming or
air bladder.
The air contained therein has a per.
centage of oxygen that may rise to as
much as eighty-ive, an amount much
in excess of the percentage in atmos-
pheric nir. Professor Bohr tapped
the air bladders OF Goldfish and drew
off the gas by means OF trocar and
alright syringe. The gas had fifty
two per cent. OF oxygen. In few
hours the air bladder was retilled, APP
parently by process of secretion of
gas from the blood in the capillaries
on the wall of the bladder. In one
experiment the gas thus secreted had
eighty per cent. of oxygen. Wien
the nerves connected with the organ
were severed, the secretion ceased and
the organ was not reiilled.
1t thus appears that when fish de.
scends to great depth, and his bc6y
is reduced in size by increased pres
sure OF the water about him, he is able
to attain his former size and rise by
secreting the gas ne needs, and not
by absorbing it from the water. Sup
port is thus given to the theory that
the gaseous exchanges that occur in
the lungs OF animals are net purely
physical. Baltimore Sun.

SMALL POTATOES FOR SEED.

The small potatoes are as good for
seed as the large ones, and much more
economical, as three bushels of them
will plant an acre of land and twenty
bushels will be needed for the same
of large ones The perfect ripeness
OF the seed is the main point, and each
seed should be cut as If they were
large. In grating one takes no
thought of the size of the bud nor in
the roofing Of cuttings, and n seed po-
tato is essentially cutting. And as
the small potatoes are unstable it is
an economy to make this use of them.
The majority of experiments in grow
ing potatoes have shown no important
difference in yield of small or large
seed. New York Times.
