cent interest on the money invested in
Sweet Clover fMe1ilotnsl.

Many portions of Ohio have the road
sides and other sodden or "out of
tllth" lands occupied by the white
sweet clover plant (Melilotus alba ID.
Since it has been regarded as a nox-
lous weed the former Ohio statute plac-
ed 1T in the same list of prescribed
plants with Canada thistle, common
thistle, oxeye daisy, wild parsnip, wild
carrot, teasle, burdock and cookie burs.
Under the operation of this statute pri-
Vate lands might be entered upon to
destroy the melilotus growing for any
purpose, as for bee pastures The de-
struction of bee pastures in this man
ner actually occurred near Delaware.
Tightly then it may be asked. How
snail we rank sweet clover? To an
sWer this we must consider where
sweet clover grows and what is it's
character. Sweet clover grows spon-
taneously along tramped roadsides,
even to the wheel ruts in abandoned
roadWays, and in tramped or sodden
land anywhere. When found in mead
ow lands it appears not to occur ex-
cept when the ground has been tramp
ed by stock when wet. It grows by
preference in old brick yards. 1t may
be grown in fields by proper tillage.
The character of sweet clover may pc
now determined. Viewing it in no 9th
er light we thus see that sweet clo-
yer grows luxuriantly in places where
few or no other plants flourish. But it
belongs to the great class of legumi-
nous plants, which are capable, by the
aid OF other organisms, of fixing at
mospheric nitrogen and storing it in
the plant tissues. 1t belongs with the
clovers and it may thus be used to
improve the land upon which it grows,
and this appears to be it's mission.
1t occupies lands that have become I'M
fitted for good growth of other forage
plants. It's rank then is as useful
plant, capable of increasing fertility
of land
How shall sweet clover be treated?
The character determined, the treat
ment to be accorded this clover plant
is really settled. The plant is the
farmers friend, to be utilized and not
to be outlawed The plant grows and
spreads rapidly. So do red clover,
white clover, timothy, blue grass and
other forage plants, but sweet clover
grows where they do not; it indicates
lack of condition for the others.
Viewed in this way it is to be treated
as preparing untitled lands for other
crops. It may be mown a short time
before coming into bloom and cured
for hay. Stock will thrive upon it il
confined to it until accustomed to it.
The roadsides, if taken when free from
dust, may be made almost as profit
able as any other area in clover by
cutting the sweet clover and curing for
hay. If this is regularly attended to
while stock is kept from other lands
that it invades, sweet clover will be
found doing always the good work for
which it is adapted.

WOMAN'S FATE.
From the Record. Bushnell, Ill.


No woman is better able to speak to 9th
ers regarding ''woman's fate" than Mrs.
Jacob Weaver, of Bushnell, H., wife of ex-
city marshal Weaver. She had entirely
recovered from the illness which kept her
belfast much of the time for five or six
years past, and says her recovery is due
to that well known remedy, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills.
Mrs Weaver is fifty-six years old, and
has lived in Bushnell nearly thirty years
Sheis of unquestioned veracity and unblem-
ished reputation. The story Of her.recov-
cry is interesting. She says:
s. suffered for five or six years with the
trouble that comes to women at this time

able much of the the time to do nv own

When woman is passing beyond the age

Then, if ever, proper attention to hygiene
should be exercised. The attendant suffer
ings Will disappear and buoyant health will

These pills exert powerful influence in

ton. They contain in a condensed form
