Mammoth Glover.


A correspondent inquiries about Eng
lish clover. On looking the subject up
in our authorities, encyclopedias, re-
ports Of the department of agriculture,
etc., we are surprised to lind that no
mention is made Of English clover. 1t
seems that clover of 40 kind is native
to that island. The common red vari-
city was introduced there from CONT
mental Europe about 1910, and soon
became popular and has been so ever
since. They grow variety called the
Mammoth, or sapling clover, and we
think this is sometimes incorrectly
called English clover This large vari-
ETY. is excellent for fertilizing the soil,
but unless cut quite green is not worth
much as forage. The stalks become
quite large and very tough, and stock
will not eat them, so that large part
of the plant is wasted.
Mr.. Wallace, in his book on Glover
Culture, says of it: while the Nam
moth is far inferior to the medium red

has exhausted the fertility of his land
by long years of cultivation in wheat,
corn, oats and flax and who is not in
shape either to buy live stock or to
provide the shelter necessary to keep
them at profit. In such cases as
this we advise the sowing of Mann
moth clover with every crop of spring
grain, even though it be the intention
to plow it up the succeeding year.
1t comes in bloom two or three weeks
later than red clover, and on this ac-
count is often sown with the red,
when intended for pasture. as it pro-
longs the season considerably. "-Indi-

Turning slowly, with the tempered
muscles Of an athlete, he let himself
down, hanging by both hands to the
inner part of the window casing. In
this position his face was brought be-
low the drift Of smoke, and it was
easier to, breathe. He wondered what
the people in the street gave such a
shuddering cry for.
Cautiously digging with his bare
toes into the narrow support of some
ledge beneath, he shifted his weight to
feet and one hand, while he sought to
lower the window still further with
the other-anything to shut of that
awful draught on whose wings de.

muttered, and closed his eyes.
Suddenly something swayed against
him Imply. and q mighty shout rose
from beneath. He opened his eyes.
There it was-a rope. They had failed
to reach him by ladder. 1t had
been a long time coming. 1t was
hanging from the roof, held away from
him by the cornice, and they were
swinging it toward him that he might
grasp it. Could he?
A mad clutch and it was his. A
twist about one wrist, grip as of
steel with the other stiffened hand,
and he whirled out into space like a
child 8 rubber ball on a bit Of a string.
As he did so there was sharp sound
of breaking glass, and forked tongues
shot out as if in rage at his escape.
"I've tried to be square!" he said
once more, and after that he felt no
fear.
Not even as he heard the dozen
sharp contradictory voices calling out
hasty orders. Not even when he saw
little fiery sparks dance about the
spiral OF coarse hempen rope.
Not even then, though he knew at
once that it was all over, and watched
until the last twist gave way:
"No feeling below the waist" said
one Of the hospital physicians.
"And no suffering at all. Tell Mary
that-be sure and tell Mary that" he
added, who lay on the cot.
"Poor fellow! God help you!'
"God? l don't believe in God. !

Dishonored Drafts.

When the stomach dishonors the drafts
made upon it by the rest of the system, it
is necessarily because its fund of strength
is very low. Toned with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, it soon begins to pay out
vigor in the shape Of pure, rich blood, con-
taining the elements Of muscle, bone and
brain. As sequence Of the new vigor
afforded the stomach, the bowels perform
their functions regularly, and the liver
works like clock work Malaria has no

NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH.
An ExtraOI iinary item to Appear
Anew Mexico Ii2wspaper at
This Season.

Saturday afternoon about 4 O'Clock
Pete Ryan, H. II. Closson and Mexican
left the city on wagon for Coor's mil,
about six miles southeast of Las Vegas
1t is presumed that they were drinking
hard, and it is known that quarrel en-
sued. Ryan, at any rate, got off the wagon
about half mile this side of the mill and
laid down by the road eide and remained
all night without covering, says the Las
Vegas Optic. When he was found Sun
day morning he was unconscious and
frozen terribly. He was brought to the
Ladies' home in this city and his recovery
is exceedingly doubtful. He is now con
scious and sees the terrible fate that has
hefallen him. He will loose his left leg
below the knee and part Of his right foot.
One of his hands is terribly frozen
though perhaps it may be saved. One
ear was bursted open, as he says, by a
fall, and altogether he is in bad fix.
Mr. Closson and the Mexican did not
know but that Ryan had followed on and
had gone to bed in his tent until the next
morning. Closson himself fell of the
wagon on the way out to the mill Satur-
day and bruised himself up considerably.
DR.. H. M. Smith, the physician of the
Ladies' home, has Ryan's case in charge,
and it is probable that he, in company
with other physiciars, will perform the
operation on Ryan this afternoon.

The HBOb Garley- Mine,

The news of the rich Bob Carlcy strike
about three miles northeast of San Pedro
in San Lazarus guleh, mention OF which
was first made in the columns Of the NEw
MExIoAN, has gone ont through the couu-
try, but in reality little is known of it ex.
cept that all who have seen it pronounce
it rich beyond anything ever found in
New Mexico.
1t is claimed by some that the find is a
we'll developed lead, but this theory does
not seem to be borne out by the IN ost
practical mining men who have exam
ined 1t. The strike of rich free gold ore
is approximately six inches wide and
stands nearly perpendicular The value
of the ore is not less than $4,000 a ton,
though it's owners claim much higher
value. shaft has been sunk about fifty
feet. The ore ia sacked and taken to
Golden, where it is pulverized and pan
washed, which crude process returns most
handsome profits to the owners.
Speaking of the permanence of the ore
body, the Cerrillos Rustler says it is GER
tain it did not rain down from the sky,
but that it was forced up from below.
This being the case it is most reasonable
to suppose that intelligent work will lead
to the discovery of the main body of ore
within short distance.
