THE OFFICIAL TIME.

as Such.

The necessity that there shall be only one
man who "has the say" in a military com
mand is thoroughly recognized in the United
States army. A story is told Of Gen. Shat
ter, commander of the American expedition
ary force for the invasion of Cuba, which IL
illustrates the punctilio of the regulars in this
regard.
At a certain frontier post at which Shafter,
who then held an inferior rank, was COM
mander many years ago, discussion arose
among several officers as to the exact time
Of day A captain, with his watch in his
hand said:
ut is now exactly three o'clock"
ooh, no, said a lieutenant, "by my time
it's eight minutes past three"
A third officer drew his watch out of his
pocket. 81 know my time is exactly right,
ne said, "and my watch says two minutes
past three"
At this juncture Maj. Shafter looked at
his silver watch. 49,,
81 don't know what your watches say" he
remarked, but | wish you to understand
that in this command it is five minutes past

when women must be most careful of their

and other treatment proved unavaling.
At last DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People were brought to her notice, with in
disputable evidence that they were helpful
in cases such as hers, and with renewed hope
she tried the remedy. Last March she took
the first box Of the pills, which gave much
relief. She was determined to be cured,
and kept on with the medicine, until now
eight boxes have been consumed, and she
feels like a new woman.

FINE LIQUID MANURE.
An English journal Tells How TO Pre-
pare and Care for II and How
to Use 1t.

The following directions for prepar-
ing a liquid manure are given by the
Gardeners Chronicle: Put into a 40
gallon tank or cistern two bushels of
fresh horse dung; stir it we'll about,
and leave it to clear; and in about a
week add one peck of fresh SCOT in
closed in a canvas bag, squeeze this a
little every third day, so as to make
its contents eXude. Let the mixture
get clear, and then use, say one quart
TO three gallons Of rain or soft water.
This is a good manure for all kinds of
soft-wooded plants, 1t may be made
stronger by adding chickens or
pigeons dung, at the rate of half a
peck to the above quantities. If, in
summer time, bubbles generate on the
surface, it is a symptom of fermenta-
ton, and the latter should be stayed,
by the addition of a small quantity Of
white vitrol. OF course, after the cask
has been filed up twice, the contents
should be turned out and a fresh lot
made up. Instead of clear water, soap
suds may be used in filling up the cask

REMOVING HONEY.
Recent Invention Has Made the Once
Dreaded Operation Compare
lively Pleasant.

Among the recent inventions in bee
keeping there is nothing of more inn
portance than the little bee escape. 1t
is a very simple arrangement, easily
operated and does not cost much. 1t
Overcomes to a great extent the la
borious work of brushing bees from
Sc ctions or frames in removing either
comb or extracted honey from the
hive.
The escape consists of small tin
box with two small springs which
nearly come together at the point,
V-shape. The bees pass out between
the springs at the point and cannot
get back. To operate the escape, get
half-inch board the size of the top
Of the hive; cut mortise in the cen
ter little longer than the escape and
place the escape in the mortise. The
board should have a small strip about
one-fourth of an inch thick nailed
around both sides to form bee space
between the surplus case and also the
brood chamber.
In using the escape always lift the
surplus case and put an empty case in
ite place, then put the escape board
between the two cases, putting the
case of honey and bees on top of the
empty case, and also the escape board.
If the escape is put on the hive in the
evening the bees will be nearly all
down in the empty case by morning,
l propose to put the escape on in the
evening, so the bees will be ready to
! go to work in the morning. If honey
is coming in in sufficient quantities the
| empty case should be filled with Sec
tons, so that the bees will lose no
time; remove the case of honey in the
morning, or as soon as the bees are
nearly all out. If the season is over
Snd the bees are not very active they
will be slower in going out of the case
l like to get the honey off as soon as
possible, so there will be no danger oil
robbing should there happen to be
any way for bees to get in. It is a
great satisfaction to be able to re.
move sections from the case without
being bothered with a great lot of bees
to brush OFF,. S. Mead, in Ohio

ADVANTAGES OF CLOVER.
They Are Not Only Very Numerous
hut OF the Greatest value in
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
green manure, cut for hay or allowed
to mature seed. The clover plant
makes a quick growth, and, if 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
ii should be allowed to make 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 well as for growing
stock of all kinds. Even hogs will be
benefited if given a good feed of
clover hay two or three times a week
When in full bloom it contains the
largest per cent. not only of animal
food, but of plant food also, hence so far
as other conditions will admit the best
results are obtained by blowing I'M
der when a full growth has been made.
Usually the growing of cloverseed
proves profitable. Occasionally when
there is a 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 70 cents to 81 a bushel to thrash
is an expensive crop to grow, and un
less fair prices are realized will not be
profitable.
In harvesting the heads should al
be left to turn brown before cutting
A self rake is rather the best machine
to cut clover for seed, as it leaves i
in punches that can be gathered vi
readily with fork. 1t is quite an item
to handle the clover as little as posi-
bic, as it skaters readily.
If the threshing can be done in gooC
season the clover can be left as cut un
til dried out sufficiently to thresh. Blu
unless you are certain that this cal
be done it is best to gather up ant
stack the clover as soon as it is SUI
fciently cured The hulm or straw
makes good feed, equal in value t.
wheat or oat straw, while it can hard
ly be excelled for bedding
In growing wheat the turning unde
of good growth of clover will b
beneficial, as it supplies the element
of plant food needed by this crop.
For corn or potatoes it is usual
best to allow the clover to die down i
the fall and then pillow under in winte
or early spring-St. Louis Republic.
