ADVANTAGES OF CLOVER.
They Are Net Only Very Numereas,
Hut Of the Greatest Value fn
Several Directions.

One advantage with clover Is that 1t
furnishes two crops in one season. The
first crop is nearly always cut for hay.
while the second growth can be used
for pasturage, plowed under as q
green manure, sut for hay or allowed
to mature seed. The clover plant
makes a quick growth, and, II the first
crop is cut in good season, will start
up and soon shade the ground and will
furnish considerable feed during the
summer, when it is so often the case
that the pastures fail.
When cut for hay or plowed under
1t should be allowed to make a full
growth, and be cut when in full bloom.
Properly cured, it makes one of the
very best foods for the.dairy COW dur
ing the winter, as welLas for growing
stock of all kinds. Even hogs will be
benefited If given good feed Of
clover hay two or three times week.
When in full bloom it contains the
largest per cent. not only of animal
food, but of plant foodalso, hence 30 far
as other conditions win admit the best
results are obtained by blowing I'M
der when full growth has been made.
Usually the growing of cloverseed
proves profitable. Occasionally when
there is full crop the price will fall
below that of profitable production.
A small yield, running from three to
seven bushels per acre, and costing
from 20 cents to 81 bushel to,thrash,
is an expensive crop to grow, and un-
less fair prices are'realized win not be
profitable.
In harvesting the heads should all
be left to turn brown before cutting.
A self rake is rather the best'machine
to cut clover for seed, as 1t leaves 1t
in punches that can be gathered up
readily with fork. It is quite an item
to handle the clover as littlesas possi-
BILE, as it skaters readily.
If the threshing can be donednngood
season the clover can be left ascut I'M
til dried out sufficiently to thresh. But
unless you are certain that thisAcan
be done it is best to gather up and
stack the clover as soon as itais SUI
ficiently cured. The hulm OF straw
makes good feed, equal in value to
wheat or oat straw, while It can. hard
" be excelled for bedding.
In growing wheat the turning'under
Of good growth Of clover will be
beneficial, as 1t supplies the elements
of plant food needed by this crop
For corn or potatoes It is usually
best to allow the clover to die down In
the fall and then plow under In winter
or early spring.-St. Louis Republic,

Ancient Hospital.

1t is generally believed that hospi-
tails were unknown to the ancients, but
the London Standard reports that the
remains OF an ancient hospital have
been unearthed near Baden, containing
fourteen rooms supplied with many
kind of medical. pharmaceutical and
surgical apparatus, probes, tubes, pin
GERS, cauterizing instruments, and even
a collection of safety pins for bandag-
ing wounds. There are also medicine

Where a rich Englishman would be-
queath money to founding a hospital
or decorating a church, an Arab can
think of no other channel for his char
ity than the construction of a foun-
tain which will assure him the bless
ings Of all future generations. The
Arabs have a curious characteristic In
common with horses and other ami
mails They prefer stagnant water,
however bad in smell and appearance,
to the most limpid running water,
which, they assert generally contains
disagreeable medicinal properties.

Consul Barnes, at Cologne. whose re,

american fruits for the German mar

Sowed 1t with report upon trichinae,
which Is splendid vindication of the
american hog from the vilification of
MS German accusers. The report saws:

or German foreign meat inspectors,
whose object is the protection and pro-
mouon OF the German trade in mea is

last 10 years, beginning with the de-
cree OF 1888 prohibiting the importa-
Eon OF American meat and ending with
the close Of last year, there were Off
ciaily confirmed In the kingdom of
Prussia 3,003 reported cases of illness
from trichinae, GOT OF which resulted
IN death. OF these there could be
traced to the eating of European meat

ree from trichinae 1,242 cases of i'll
ness and 102 Deaths
mus 41.36 per cent. of all the cases
OF Illness and 49.7 per cent. of all the
deaths were caused by the consump-
ton OF European pork which was ex-
amined In Germany and found to be
free from trichinae. The remaining
cases could also be traced to importa-
uons OF European meat, partly ex-
amined and partly not examined, and
found to contain trichinae and Vet
handled by the trade.
In not one of the above 3,Oo3 cases
could 1t be proved that the illness was
caused by the use of American sailed.
picked or timed meat, nor by smoked
sausage Imported under imperial de-
cree OF September 3, 1917. This state
ment holds good for all Germany. In
confirmation of this fact, the society
hereinbefore mentioned has issued
posters wherein a reward of 1000
marks ($23s) is offered to the person
who can prove that trichinae has been
transferred to human beings by the
consumption of American sailed or
picked pork or smoked sausage i'm

September 8, 1891, cancehng the edict
forbidding the importation.
When, In 1891, the edict against
sausage and pork products from Amer.
lea was cancelled, no inspection Of sau-
sage or picked pork was required up-
TIL July /, 1893. Since then both prod
ucts are subject to inspection. This
