Glover for Sandy Soil.

On all kinds of soil clover, when fully
grown, is a benefit. Its roots break IN
the heavy clay soils and make them per-
meable to air and moisture. But on
sandy soils clover growth as often as
every two or three years is. necessi-
ty. 1t is only thus that what vegetable
matter it contains can be kept from
being washed or burned away and
wasted. It is often difficult to get a
clover catch on sandy soil. Glover needs
mineral fertility, both potash and phos-
phate of lime. In both these sandy soil
is generally deficient. There is no bet
ter single manure for sandy soil than
wood ashes. If from hard wood these
will also furnish some lime and phos-
phate.-Prairie Farmer.

A CURE FOR FoOLIsHNEsS,~
How BnHen's Family Got Him to Re-
sign from the Buckers and
KickerS

Button is rich and proud He comes of
good old family and is recognized society
leader of Detroit, He, with some of his
swell bachelor friends, organized the ''Buck
ers and kickers," of which he was made
grand high contortionist. The order had no
object but fun, yet it maintained show of
mysticism and announced it's meetings in
way to arouse general curiosity.
Button went east for rest and change.
His immediate family and friends did not
like his belonging to fraternity with such
name and such doubtful aims. They saw
an opening and proceeded to get even. The
first day at New Y ork hotel he received a
dozen letters, and on the envelope of. each,
in big type, was his name and his title as
grand high contortionist, followed by the ad;
dress to which the letter was to be returned
ii not called for. The clerk noticed it, and
others who were getting, their mail could
not but see what was as plain as hand bill.
envelope, and indignation became explosive
ness when a Gotham theatrical manager
called on him, asked if he belonged to the
"perfesh," and if he were open to engage
ments.
Button fired hot letter home, bearing an
immediate delivery stamp. He Informed the
folks that it was in the worst taste to send
private correspondence in a business en-
velope. He wanted no more of it. It had
cost him great annoyance and he was going
to change his hotel at once. But that grand
high contortionist" pursued him like an
avenger until he returned home, ralSed all
his relatives over the Goals, resigned from
the Buckers and Kickers and made bon
fire of the stationery which he held as grand
high ntortionist.-Detroit Free Press.

HORNS A DETRIMENT.
M, -s",-s, ..%IA2y$%. ,c:c - -. !*|e
Inc Pain Attending Their Removal
Is Very Much Exaggerated in.
the Mind of the Public.

Every now and then a protest goes up
against dehorning cattle: the motive
put forward is that of humanity, says
the Wisconsin Farmer. In the case Of
breeding bulls, we are impressed with
the belief that dehorning should not be
zone, although it is not motives of hui
manlty that creates this belief. Mere
~ as belief, without pretensc that it
IS an ascertained fact, we think that
ofeedlng qualities are likely to be i'm
pared by the sacrifice Of the horns in
the case of horned breeds. Neither
would we dehorn pure-bred cattle
grown as breeding stock, but when
horns are one of the characteristics of
the breed, we would leave them there.
when 1t comes to the question Of ani-
mails that are to go to the feed lot they
should be dehorned every time. \ herd
crowded together, as in the feed lot, will
commit more cruelties and suffer more
cruelty, dozen times over, by reason of
having horns than any that may be
caused by the few moments of pain
which result from the operation of de-
morning. Indeed, from our observation
OF the operation and of the behavior of
animals while undergoing it, we are of
the opinion that the pain attending it
is very much exaggerated in the popu-
lar mind. No evil consequences follow
1t, and even the milk function in cows,
Which, is SO easily disturbed, suffers no
disturbance worth. mentioning when
COWS in full milk are operated upon.
Those who make these occasional pro-
tests pay no attention to the fact that
castration, spaying and the docking Of
lambs are operations at least as painful,
and for centuries more common than
dehorning. Perhaps this is just the
point-that they are common. AL cat.
tie should be dehorned before going
into the feed lots 1t makes them quicter
and more thrifty, the stronger tyran.
nizc less over the weak, and all the cat
tie have more room in the same space,
when the horns have been removed. In
order to avoid the supposed pain ot:end-
ing the dehorning Of animals, many adj
vocate the use Of caustic potash on The
calf as soon as the buttons can be felt
en- the skull. This method is undcubt-
edly effective, and causes but tile pain
If the operation is done carefully and
the caustic not allowed to touch the
skin.

A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss of the hair is one of the most
serious losses woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many a woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting if the locks were short and
scanty. It is almost as serious loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade,
and the shining tresses of chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray or to faded
shadow of their former brightness. Such
a loss is no longer necessity. There is
one remedy which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason of its great sue
cess in stopping the falling. of the hair,
cleansing the scalp of dandruff, and re-
storing the lost color. to gray or faded
tresses., DR.: Ayers Hair Vigor is stand
ard and reliable preparation, in use in
thousands of homes, and recommended by
everyone who has tested it and expert
enced the remarkable results that follow
its use. It makes hair grow. 1t restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray or faded out. 1t stops hair from fall
ing, cleanses the scalp of dandruff, and
gives the hair thickness and gloss that
no other preparation can produce.

Our American Policy.

The policy of this country regarding for.
eign complications seems likely to remain
conservative. The Monroe doctrine, accord
ing to the declaration of our leading politi-
clans, will be sustained, but patience and
prudence in official quarters will restrain the
exuberance of public opinion. The wisest
and most prudent course for the rheumatic
and the malarious is to use Hostetter's Stom-

the.department Of the gulf has super
vision the bids will be sent out in every
direction.
Hard pine wood is wanted by the
government, aud the firms that can
deliver the material at the southern

awarded the contract. Under the cir

southern mill near the south Atlantic
or gulf coast will be given the work,
although the government reserves the

The practice among nations OF ex.
acting money from a conquered foe is,
in its present form, somewhat modern.
In ancient times the victor despoiled
the enemy he had overcome, sacked
cities, and took whatever of value lie
could carry away. Now he respects
private property, but he usually makes
the conquered nation pay the whole
cost of the war. In either case the
practice is analogous TO that of civil
courts, which assess costs upon the
defeated party.
