Good and Had Points OF Crimson Glover.
CLARK NJ. DRAKE, CENTRAL NEW YORK.
/ look upon crimson clover as an
important acquisition on condition
that it becomes acclimated OF suffi-
ciently hardy to endure our rigorous
winters. This will undoubtedly be
accomplished in less than a decade
by producing seed ON our northern
farms A neighbor sowed five acres
after the last cultivation of corn last
summer, and it made an excellent
appearance until hidden by snow,
but this spring the disappearing
snow reveals it as ifeless, even
where protected by huge drifts. l
have heard the statment made by
institute speakers that even where
it completely winterkills the result
will exceed the outlay by adding nj
trogen to the soil. If this is the
case it will not be discarded without
an effort to obtain a hardy variety.
To potato growers it will be espe-
cially beneficial, enabling them to
plant the tuber after corn, which is
now considered impracticable. With
fair coat Of clover to turn under,
we feel almost certain of having q
good piece of potatoes but without
this or its substitute, such as heavy
sward or a good coat of manure, we
feel it somewhat risky to plant po-
tatoes. Whether the green clover
turned under, as will be the case
with the crimson variety, will be as
beneficial to the potato crop as the
dead clovers of the common kind
can only be determined by expert
ence. It may have the effect to sour
the soil or invite fungus growth.
However we think it worthy of trial
and shall so proceed.
The winterkilling of crimson clo-
yer is probably due as much to its
late sowing as to the tender nature
of the plant. Of course it is impos-
sible to SOW it earlier with corn than
the last cultivation, 1t nearly al
ways catches well, being shaded by
the corn and not crowded, The
cost per acre for seed is only about
60c, little more than the price of q
good load of manure, and the labor
of applying it would be little more
The load of manure as usually spread
would cover ten square rods, and
12lbs of seed would cover 16 times
the area. Therefore it seems profit
able to SOW it although it does win.

The Wilkes Barre Record says
Senator Quay ought TO call off the
Philadelphia Inquirer, which is dai
ly assailing Major Mckinley on the
false ground that he is not sound on
the money question. Perhaps SEN
ator Quay cannot stop the Inquirer,
though it has been regarded as his
Philadelphia organ, but someone
ought to put a little sense into the
Inquirer's head, so that it would
cease furnishing campaign material
to the enemy. The Inquirer is re-
sponsible for great many untrue
statements, which tend to injure the
party. No true friend and suppor-
ter of Senator Quay and his candi-
dacy for the Presidency can approve
of the continued attacks on so pro-
minent a party leader as Mckinley

PAINLESS DENTISTRY.

A Chicago Scientist Credited with Disoov-
ering the g-sought-For-Process.
A German scientist of Chicago has
discovered that electricity can rem
der numb any nerve in the human
mouth and permit of the amputa-
ton of a live tooth, if necessary,
without the slightest pain to the
person operated upon. The patient
has the satisfaction while the opera
tion is being performed of retaining
all his senses and not suffering.
The diffusion of cocaine by the
power of electricity and the benumb-
ing of nerve centers by the strength
of thirty volts of electricity is the
discovery which DR.. Schuhmann
has made. He has not and will not
patent the apparatus with which he
has made the discovery. Nor will
he sell it.

In newspaper work as well as
elsewhere " distance lends enchant-
ment to the view" Many people
imagine that the paper published
far away is for that very reason bet
ter than the home paper. But this
is often not the case.
Every one should be deeply inter
ested in the home paper-support it
heartily.
The newspaper is the greatest
means for spreading knowledge in
existence. 1t is the one means, the
only one, that reaches all the people
with knowledge, and hence is at
once school, professor and textbook
combined.
The newspaper, more and more, is
catering to the tastes of all classes.
It's editorial policy may be for one
party or denomination, but in it's
pages will be found vast variety of
opinions on all kinds of subjects.
The secret of the success of the
great dailies is this-that they have
opened their columns to all kinds of
ideas. I am sure that this is the
method and purpose of all local
papers who know the trend of things
and appreciate the situation.
The editor who would admit no.
thing in his pages but that which
agreed with his own views would
certainly be out of place and not sue
ceed.
AS the forum where opinions and
theories meet and clash, lose and
win, the local paper is great insti-
tuition, and is destined to have still
greater future.
Along the two or three lines limited
above-viz, ~ greater variety, (2)
more literary finish, (s) greater ac-
curacy in statement, whether in ar
gument, descriptions or reports-the
newspaper of the future will develop,
and editors everywhere are planning
and working in these directions.
Now, the reader is not always aware
of the great difficulties and large ex-
penditures necessary for such inn
provements. Hence his Cor herr
warm cooperation is of great value.
Too many people, for example, do
not appreciate the fact that notice,
announcement, report or article
written for the local paper should be
well written. We dash off a para
graph of news and hand it to the edi-
tor with not much care as to its ac-
curacy or its gracefulness of diction.
In writing the most commonplace of
announcements we should be as
careful as in preparing an essay that
is to be perused by a critic. Again,
there are hundreds of good thoughts
cherished in every community that
never get into print. If this sincere
and capable people would write out
their dearest opinions, putting them
in crisp, clear, terse and smooth SEN
tences, editors would be glad to pub
lish them.
These are only few of the many
ways that we, dear reader, can help
the editor, and we owe it to the
cause of human progress to do so.

currants and aooseberrIes.

Currants and gooseberries are
among the best small fruits for pro-
fit, but farmers pay too little atten-
tion to them because of the depreda-
ton Of worms. These enemies are
easily controlled by spraying early
with paris green and later if neces-
sary with hellebore. Currants and
gooseberries require moist sandy
soil and heavy manuring.

A RADIENT VISION.

Not many moons ago, singular
phenomenon happened in this coun-
ty. 1t was a sudden, dazzling, bril-
liant appearance and though the
event was only seen and recorded
by one person in the United States
so far as heard from yet he being of
indubitable truth and veracity, it
must be assumed that he actually
saw the wonderful apparition. A
young man in the lower part of this
county gifted with unusual powers
of perception, gazing into the seventh
heaven of Democracy, saw unfolded
a vision of surprising loviliness.
She appeared in the form of beau
tiful damsel, bearing horn of
plenty. Prosperity wreathed her
charming form, the smoke of fac
tories enveloped her as a nimbus,
the hum of industry like a sweet
lullaby soothed her vivacious spirits,
the horn of plenty overdowed with
an abundance of the good things of
earth, sweet peace crowned her mar
BILE brow, she showered offices to tho
the hungry and nectar to the thirsty.
As he gazed enraptured the form
changed, it grew to gigantic proper
tions and filed the earth with an eff
fulgence from it's sacred person, 1t
assumed a manlier mold, its avordu-
pois increased, It's semblance took
ON that of humanity, it seemed
clothed in the accouterments of a
mighty Nimrod, it appeared as a
duck shooter. Terrified with the won
ders vouchsafed to his view he fed
for pen and pencil with which to
portray the glories of the apparition,
that mankind might revel with him
In its splendorous beauty. As he
hastily emerged from his sylvan re-
treat, he cast a longing, lingering
look behind for one more glance of
the lovely damosel, and lol his
startled gaze fell upon a familiar,
1ong-eared, stub-tailed quodruped,
his ears were assailed and his foot
steps accelerated by the trumpet
tones of its mellifuous bray. New
ertheless he caused to be recorded
the former part of his experiences,
and now fancies that the distinction
conferred as the sole observer of the
wonderful vision entities him to a
prominent and profitable place in
the gift of his adniring fellow-citi-
zens.

A ROSE Pillow Have you good
recipe for making rose leaf pillows,
which every woman who lives near
a rose tree is going to make this
year?
The roses chosen must be as per-
feet as possible, all withered, scent
less petals being discarded. They
are cured much in the same manner
of those for jar use. They must in
no case be dried in the hot sun, but
spread out upon board or some
other fiat surface, where there is dim
light and no intense heat. AS in
the case of the jars, also, they are
treated with common salt, which is
at first laid in layers and afterward
thoroughly mixed through.
There is preparation known as
japanese pot-pourri, which comes at
very reasonable prices. A small
quantity of this mixed with the
leaves imparts sweet mystic odor,
which added to the fragrance of
Summer roses, makes a delicious
pillow.
1t may be, of course, of any cover
ing whatever, but the petals should
first of all be inclosed in a lining of
thin material.
With a rose pillow in her den, any
woman is warranted a siesta with
sweet dreams. She who is insensi-
BILE to its sweet influence is in a fair
way TO become the inmate of san
itarium.
