Crimson Glover For Hay.

Crimson clover, if cut early enough,
makes good hay for cattle. We would
not advise its use for horses. II the
heads become too hard, they may form
balls in the horses stomach and make
trouble. The clover will make fine
spring pasture for all stock. At the
time it is ripe for cutting you are not
always sure to have good hay weather,
and the chances Of curing it in good
condition are not first class. Rural New
Yorker thinks that the safest way to
use this plant is for pasture or green
manuring.

the effort to suppress gambling and the
open talk of police protection. Soon
after election the mayor said he had
asked the late chief of police, Irwin.
to cooperate with him in suppressing

next detailed how Police Commissioner
Fyke had dismissed II republican po-

peatedly, claiming that the witness
