this of (by the insight of genius and inn

In harvesting the heads should all

If the threshing can be done in good
season the clover can be left as cut

But unless you are certain that this can

wheat or oat straw, while it can hardly

In growing wheat the turning under

For corn or potatoes it is usually best
to allow the clover 10 die down in the
fall and then plow under in winter

Fail Flowing OF stubbIe Land.

The most commoa mistake in pre-
pairing ground for fall grains is wait
Ing until just before seeding time or
about.the last week in August and the
first in September. There are several
reasons why early Flowing is the best.
The weeds that hws started after the
cutting of the small grains are turned
under and kept from seeding. This is
no small consider alton where the
ground is at all foul. If some of the
seeds near the surface should start af-
ter blowing, go over the field with a
harrow of some kind or a cultivatoy
and allow none to develop.
The chief value OF early blowing is
that the land has an opportunity to be-
come well pulverizrd and compacted
before seeding time. If the land is
hard when plowed the numerous work.
ings which should be given it with
the rains Of late summer and early
autumn, will dissolve the clods and OBJ
literate damage if present when the seed
is sown. Many failures with winter
grains can be traced to late blowing
and imperfect preps ration of the seed
bed.
Begin blowing as soon as the shocks
have been removed from the field. This
will vary from the drst week in July
to the second in August. A depth of
about five inches is usually sufficient,
depending somewhat upon the character
of the soil. In few days go over the
field With harrow in order to level
the ground and create a soil mulch to
prevent excessive Evaporation. Drag
or roll several times during the fall
and follow each time with harrow to
loosen the surface. Seed the fall
grains from Sept. 10 to 20, always u.s.
ing a press drill.

which the government anticipates the
Liberals will capture so per cent of the

A good sample of the literature with
which the Spaniards are regaled appears in
the Carlist organ, the Correo. 1t is in the
shape of a letter written to Don Carlos
from a correspondent in New York and
says: 1--WE are in the crater of a volcano.
1t seems as though not only the Maine, the
whole union fleet has been blown up.
Fragments of ships are falling like fiery
rain upon this city. Nintey-nine per cent
of the people blame the Span!ards for the
catastrophe The fact is, the feeling pre-
yailing among these hawkers is one of ter
-or. For couple of years they have be-
lieved that the Cuban question was all
thorns for Spain and all roses for them
selves Now, finding themselves sudden
ly chastised, words fail to describe their
fear and amazement If we now had at the
head of our government man OF worth
he would be master Of the situation and
show to the world these people in the RI
diculous light they deserve. We few SPAN
iards. who, for our sins, find ourselves in
this HE'LL. recognize that If Spain gave a
quick, energetic blow they would not re-
s.st and would quickly cry for mercy, for
a prolonged war to this country would
prove terrible foe. Men of money abound.
but they have no spirit and no self-sacri-
flee: If we quickly landed a few sharp
blows the decentralization would be instan-
taheous and they would surrender at dis
cretion.
"What pity we are letting slip this pos
sibility, the only opportunity providence
will give us of gaining at one stroke re-
spect, credit, glory and money"
