GLOVER AS A sUBsoILER.

Addition.
Some of the most successful farmers
OF my acquaintance seed down every
held of grain with clover, considering
that the pasture and manurial value of
clover, plowed under, of fields not left
for meadow, well pays for the clover
seed.
Study the clover plant. 1t will pay
any farmer to note more accurately
than he has done the peculiar habits of
the clover plant-its long tap-root. it's
ability to stand dry weather when once
established, it's tenderness in loose soils
before it is we'll rooted. it's small no
dulles upon the roots, through which II
absorbs nitrogen from the air. and es-
peclally its efficiency as a Sub-soiler.
Every farmer knows that hard-pan
under his soil means grief to him and
his, and that before the farm can be
made profitable this hard-pan must be
broken up; but how to do it cheapIy
and effectively has been the trouble
Subsoil plows have been invented,
used for few years, and for the most
part abandoned. Deep blowing has
been tried, and the result of a crop
failure for one or two years, or until
the lower soil had been sweetened by
exposure to rain and frost, or by heavy
manuring.
The best, and at the same time the
cheapest, subsoiler we know of, is clo-
yer roots The hard-pan may be so
near the surface that clover will not
grow; but in ordinary farming Sec
lions, where there is sufficient rainfall
to grow clover, there is no SubSoiler SO
cheap and effective as clover roots.
The clover roots bore downward by
night as we'll as by day, Sunday and
holidays included

several days by immersing the bot
toms of the shoots in one or two inches
of water in cool place. For transy
portation to market shallow boxes, a
little deeper than the bunch are best.
The punches should be tightly packed
into such boxes to keep them from be-
ing bruised or otherwise injured. The
asparagus buncher illustrated above
is q style in common use. The rear
part slides over the four light cross

can thus be easily regulated to suit
any length of asparagus stalks. Lay
raff1a or Irvine across the buncher and
place the tip Of the stalks against the
end board. When the bunGN her is filed
the asparagus is easily tied.-Farm

Called All the Congregation Out

Called All the congregation Out.
An amusing incident occurred at
Christ church, Exeter, on Sunday. Just
before the service began the organ boy
went down among the congregation,
ard informed each Of those present
that he was requested to go into the
vestry. Whereupcn. one after another
got up and went INTO that room. The
rector, Rev. Edward Goodridge, who
was in the room could not understand
why they were there, but, as Bishop
Niles was to be present, he concluded
that they had come to shake hands
with that gentleman, and told them
that the bishop would soon be in. At
this point the organist learned of the
mistake of the organ boy. She had told
him to ask Hall (meaning the janitor)
to go to the vestry. The boy misun-
derstood her and thought she said:
ASK all to come to the vestry," and
he did So Everyone took the affair
kindly, and the boy was forgiven

One acre we'll prepared, ferulized
and cultivated, no matter what the
crop. will nearly always be twice as
profitable as the same will carlessly
prepared.
Watch your seed potatoes carefully,
if kept in the cellar, and keep them
from sprouting if possible. With a
wooden shovel you can move them
about and this will prevent the sprout-
ing to a great extent.
Start in abreast with the seasons
work and you will then be able to do
the right thing at the right time all
the year through, provided you keep
hustling. Once behind you will not be
able to catch up all the season through.
Some of the early garden and field
crops will go into the ground this
month, and the seed must not be COW
cred too deep. The more shallow seeds
go into the soil the better will be their
chances for vigorous growth.
Don't use barnyard manure, lime or
wood ashes on your potato land if you
would avoid scab. Commercial ma,
nures are safest to use, and it is gen.
orally thought that they have a ten'
dency to ward off the disease.

onts and FieId peas.

Prof. e. S. Plumb, director Purdue
university experiment station, says:
breeders are coming to recognize
more and more the necessity OF plenty
of green food for stock when grass is
getting short. Owners of dairy cattle
in particular feel this necessity.
"For two years at the Indiana exper-
iment station we have planted Canada
field peas and oats, for this purpose.
The first year Of planting we scattered
pea seed at the rate of a bushel and
half to the acre over the ground and
ploveu this in three or four inches

In most cases there is really toe
much outlay for the farmers table
He who keeps poultry and hogs, and
raises his own fruit and vegetables
and buys nothing that he can raise
himself, is the most successful. In nu

this chance, for all that a man treas
ures must come out of the ground.
Living in a country of vast areas
and resources, it is not strange that
farmers should have something Of the
spirit Of their surroundings. There
follows the tendency to neglect de-

business goes to show that it has been
largely by attention to minor matters
that men have been prepared to win

wonderful experiences with your prepare
ton. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. The fact is well known that med

kind, consequently the body of them have
no definite knowledge of their virtue or
lack of it, but eoundly condemn them all

absurd and unjust, and l, for one propose

what it is, where or how obtained. / was
first brought to prescribe DR.. Williams
Pink Pills about two years ago, after hav-
ing seen some remarkable results from
their use. Reuben Hoover, now of Read
ing, Pa, was a prominent contractor and
builder. While experimenting the work
OF erecting a large building during cold
weather, he contracted what was thought
to be sciatica. He first noticed it one
morning in not being able to arise from
his bed. After the usual treatment for
this disease he failed to improve, but on
the contrary grew rapidly worse, the case
developing into Hemiphlegia, or partial
paralysis of the entire right side of the
body. Electricity, tonics and massage, ETC.,
were all given trial, but nothing gave any
benefit, and the paralysis continued. In
