Sowing Clover.

A correspondent of the Iowa Home
stead, who has given much thought to
the subject Of sowing clover with or
without nurse crop, writes:
My practice has been to SOW with a
nurse crop, and / never could muster up
courage enough to put in clover seed
withC at one. In considering the ques-
tion, there is just one element that con-
trolls it, and that we do not know any
thing about. If we knew what the char
acter % the season was going to be, we
would know what to do. We cannot
look into the future, and hence we SOW
clover just as we sow wheat, to suit
an average season. With wheat we can
not foresee the winter, the prospect for
Hessian flies, chinch bugs, drought, ETC.. I,
and yet we SOW wheat. In sowing clover
we cannot foresee whether the coming
season is going to be wet or dry, or
whether it will have i'll it elements dis
Rstrous to the stand if sown with a
nurse crop. What are we to do under
the circumstances? / do not know what
others may do, but as for myself shall
continue to SOW with nurse crop, even
If both occasionally fail.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

One of the vital questions of the day
is the government of cities. The old
plan seems to lack responsibility. In
case of improvements, where large sums
Of money were to be expended, no par
ticular officer was responsible for any
thing. This is the flaw of the old plan,
and it has been because of this that so
many jobs have tlourished, and so much
public money has been squandered and
stolen. No plan of this kind can ever
succeed, and sound thinkers everywhere
admit this. There must be q responsible
head for every department and the peo-
pie can then look to that head in every
instance. The new plan embodies this
feature. This is sometimes called the
federal plan, because the mayor has
cabinet, similar to the federal govern
ment. All the large cities in the State,
either have, or are attempting to have,
this form of government. For instance,
one cabinet officer has charge of streets
a nd public grounds; another is practic
ally Secretary Of the Treasury; another
takes charge Of claims and law cases;
and so forth. By this means response
bility is placed on some definite head,
and there is no shifting such as exists
under the present defective scheme.
1t is said that many private bills, em.
bodying this feature, are uow before the
legislature, but that our lawmakers, as
body, are against this kind of patch
work. The feature mentioned is favored
but, it is claimed, that any such measure
should apply to all the cities of the
State, thus governing all by one uniform
law, This is the true way out of bad
scrape. Special bill are always odious.
The NEws-DEMoCRAT believes in uniform
ity in laws, as well as in everything else
on earth.
Strange to say, ripper bill is predict
ed for Canton. Rumor has it that the
knowing ones have talked over the
scheme in secret. 1t will never do, boys,
because it is the wrong road out of a bad
predicament. Let us have general
ripper bill for the whole State. Nothing
short of this will answer the purpose.
AS our spring election is near at hand,
AMI this question is one of the live is
sues Of the day, the NEws-DEMocRAT has
thought proper to invite short articles
from our readers on this question. Make
them crisp and to the point, Let us
hear from you with no uncertain voice.
We make the question broad enough to
cover the entire scheme of municipal
government.

HenrY Seeding Of Osta.

Lodging of oats is due to the imper-
feet development of the tissues of the
stem, and this is the result of an INSULT
cient exposure to sunlight in conse-
queuce Of the plants being too close to-
gether, explains The Orange Judd Farm
er, which adds: The greatest exposure
will doubtless be secured by moderately
thin sowing. 1t is usually considered that
the quantity of seed per acre should vary
with the condition of the land and the
time Of sowing, a great quantity being
sown when the land is in poor condition
and when the season is late. A greater
quantity Of seed is required on poor
land, as the oats do not "stOOl out" so
we'll, and in late season it is necessary
to increase the amount in order to hasten
the harvest, as, where the land is thinly
sown, the "stooling" process is liable
to te carried ON for too long a time,
making the harvest late. In England as
high as eight bushels per acre of oats
are often sown, in other year tests that
quantity Of seed yielding an average of
43 bushels per acre; six bushels, 53,
an four bushels seeding SO bushels per
acre, other things being equal. In
America four bushels per acre is usually
considered heavy seeding for oats, and
one an one-half to two bushels is the
amount usually sown.

A GRIEvoUs DILEMMA.

The Republicans have figured and
figured to show the revenues of the gov.
ernment at the current rate of expendi-
ture were deficient and that it will be
impossible to continue them without q
continual increase of public debt in time
of peace. They have persistently
preached about this condition of affairs
for the plain purpose Of shaping public
sentiment for the higher protective
duties that the Republicans were about
to order, to make fat.irying for the COM
ing campaign easy and reassert by action
their devotion to the pernicious class
legislation, which the people emphatic.
ally rebuked in 1892. 1t was all pic.
tured out in beautiful theory that Re
publican Congress would offer the Dem
ocratic President an increase of revenue
through an increase of protective rates,
although the argument in favor of the
same method six years ago was that it
would reduce the revenue, as its apph
cation did; if he accepted it, such action
would be construed as an admission that
the Democratic policy was altogether
wrong and if he rejected it, there would
be ample proof of the Democratic pur-
pose to pile up the public debt, policy
that the Republicans were actually con-
demning. But the Republican Congress
has not passed the higher tariff measure.
Will the Republicans in full knowledge
of the deficiency ofrevenue as they have
ascertained it pile up the appropriations
beyond the power of the government to
pay from revenue receipts and force an
increase of the public debt, over which
they have been so Mortified, or will they
cut down these appropriations to come
within their knowledge of the revenue
receipts? 1t is the responsibility of Con
gress to provide revenue for the govern
ment and to determine its expenditures;
this Republican body eagerly announced
its realization of that responsibility and
how it should be met, pointing out with
spacious particularly to the public the
reason therefore. Having failed to offer
to the administration its theory for pro
viding more revenue, will it now cut
down the appropriations which it raised
to billion dollar figures to reduce an
overwhelming treasury surplus that was
encouraging tariff reform sentiment or
will it continue those expenditures and
indulge in the wicked pastime of plung-
ing the country into debt which it has
bewailed so bitterly. Senator Sherman
Confesses that his party has placed itself
in a serious dilemma and in his despera-
ton to extricate it for the campaign
coming on, announces himself ready to
support almost any measure that will
bring in increased revenue that he can
be assured the Senate without regard to
party can agree upon. Undoubtedly he
has simply to make ruinous concession
to the firm silver Senators of his party,
similar to that which he promoted six
years ago, to obtain his revenue meas
ure, but will that relieve his party of its
dilemma or plunge it into one vastly
greater than it was cast into by such
perfidious act of 1890?

is FORAKER LOYALY

1t is duty, however, to the republicans
of Ohio and especially to Governor Nc.
Kinley himself that it should be said,
here and now, that our preference for
him is not conceived in any spirit of an
tagonism or hostility to any other man
who is named In convention with that
high honor. The Republicans of Ohio
do not lack appreciation for Thomas Il.
Reed, or Levi p. Morton, or William B
Allison or Matthew Stanley Quay, or
any other great leader who has been
mentioned in connection with that hon
or. On the contrary, we admire and
love them all, and if the st. Louis CON
vention should disappoint us and give
its honor to one Of them, we here and
now pledge to him in advance the cleo
toral vote of Ohio by the largest maior-
ity ever given in the history of the State.
1t is not that we Glove Caesar less, but
Rome more. - FOraker's speech at Co
lumbuS.
That is to say that if Mckinley cannot
be nominated on one or two ballots, that
he, Foraker, can shy his castor into the
ring and if nominated on either end of
the ticket he expects the Republican
party to give him and his colleague "the
electoral vote of Ohio by the largest ma
jority ever given in the history of the
State"
Foraker is ambitious and wants to be
President and he is playing a deep game
on the great political chess board. He
is careful as to his moves. He realizes
that now of all times is the opportunity
for him to reach the Presidency. He
knows that in the event of the election
of a Republican President he will have
to wait eight years and then he might be
a statesman out Of job and a back
number in politics. Foraker cares moth.
ing for the plighted faith of promise
He was disloyal to Sherman in 1888. He
could have effected McKinley's nomina-
ton at that time if he had not had the
bee in his bonnet himself. He is less
earnest for Mckinley now than he was
in 1888, Notwithstanding his frequent
declarations of loyalty. He loves him
self far better than he loves Mckinley
and it is only natural that at heart he
should be against him. He is playing
the Garfield act of 1880 and he earnestly
hopes that such a combination of cir
cumstances may occur that will event
ually lead to the overthrow of McKin-
ley and the nomination of himself.
