Flowing in Oats.

I have tried the above method Of
covering them, says a contributor to
Wallace's Farmer, but did not find it
very satisfactory for several reasons.
First-It is quite difficult at times,
in early spring, when oats should be
sown, to get the plow to scour among
the heavy stalks that will be found
upon the corn fields of careful and
painstaking farmer without plowing
the oats under too deeply for best re-
suits.
Second--The seed will be thrown to-
gether somewhat in the burrows and
is not scattered as evenly as it should
be for best results.
Third-If plowed only about three
inches deep, as I think it should be,
the harrow will bring many Of the
stalks to the surface and partly defeat
the plan. l think it will be
found that more lodged oats are caused
by putting the seed in too we'll than by
not putting it in we'll enough.
1t is quite an objection to have the
seed thrown together in the burrows,
for 1t has been my experience and OBJ
servation that the more evenly oats
are scattered the better the results.
They should occupy the whole sur
face Of the ground evenly, thus giving
each plant its share Of warmth, light
and air. This is the chief objection,
think, to drilling oats. 1t crowds the
plants too much together in the drills.
l do not consider it impracticable to
plow stalk field deep enough and
thorough enough to cover up all the
litter and put the ground in good
shape for meadow, and plow the oats
in at the same time. I would prefer
to break, rake and burn the stalks,
then cultivate the oats and grass seed
In, going across the ridges and har-
rowing thoroughly afterward. If l
used the plow at all would plow and
then sow afterward and harrow down
smooth and firm. An objection to
plowing at all in my mind is that 1t
leaves the ground too loose and unless
the soil is rather heavy, it will dry
out too much later in the season. But
II the soil is dry enough, and the sea-
son permits, this can be avoided by
plenty Of narrowing or perhaps the
use Of the roller, and the whole plan
will work better. On the contrary II
it is rainy and the soil wet and sticky,
and the stalks too tough for the roll
ing cutter to handle, causing the plow
to choke, 1t will be found a very slow
and tedious way to put in oats, and
most likely be abandoned.

EAT CLANS
- Drica3iers Island Nearly Extermin-
ated by tho Cold Weather

ated by tho Cold Weather
Searsport (Maine) Cor. New York
Sun: The famous breed of fat clans
which dwell in the sandy flats en- the
east and south shores of Brigadier's
island was nearly eXterminated by
anchor ice during the cold snap IN
February. When J. Montgomery sears
Of Boston, the owner of the island, was
informed of the fact he engaged an
expert in clam culture and sent him TO
the island with orders to restock the
flats at any price.
Brgadier's island has been owned
by the Sears family since 1742, when
David Sears received it as reward Tor
services rendered to the British COLO
nies prior to the great war which drove
France from the new world. Sears
asked for the island because he knew
it produced the biggest and sweetest
clans that could be found on the AT
lantic coast. Every year since the
grant was made, fifty barrels OF the
latest clans that grew on the lsiahu
have been sent to Boston as tribute.
Almost every distinguished man VINO
has lived in America for the past l5o
years has had q barrel of clans from
Brigadier's island. The records show
that George Washington had ten
barrels while he was president, ana
two supplementary barrels after his re-
tirement to Mount Vernon.
John Adams seems to have been
sreat favorite with the Sears family OF
his day. He was president only four
years, yet in that time they gave him
twenty-three barrels of clans. For
some reason jefferson got only three
barrels during his eight years OF olilce.
Madison and Monroe had eight barrels
each. Jackson had four barrels, but
John Quincy Adams received thirty
seven barrels while he was president,
and seemed to like them, because he
sent several letters of thanks After
Taylor was elected president the clam
tribute to the white house came at the
rate Of a barrel a year, the goods
reaching Washington during Lent.
Last week q barrel was sent to Pres
idcnt Mckinley, the third he has re-
ceived since he was inaugurated.
The blizzard which visited Maine IN
the middle of February coated the
clam flats six inches deep in anchor ice,
soldering up the pores in the sand and
smothering all the shellflsh. When
the anchor ice thawed more than 2,OOO
barrels Of dead clans were lying upon
,he fats, which were haunted by crows
and sea birds for days. The poultry
| keepers at Searsport and Stockton
ha.llGd away more than 1,OO0 barrels OF
clam shells and ground them up for
feed. The average output of clans from
! Blisadier's island fats has been from
GEO to zoe barrels year. Five or
six years must elapse before the beds
! can be reSt0cked.

Clover Hay Wor m.

A correspondent of the Homestead
writes that while putting in hay from
a stack the last loads were found fair
ly alive with a small worm about half
an inch long and of dark color, which
appeared to be quite lively. The nay
was stacked on rail bottoms. He de-
sires to know what they are, whether
they will work in hay in the NOW
that has been put in directly from the
swath and whether it is the same nt-
tie customer in another dress that
works in clover seed and is called the
midge. The Homestead replies:
If, as we are inclined to believe from
the letter, the hay is clover hay, the
worm is probably the clover hay worm.
which was very prevalent in many
parts of the West in the spring OF
1893. The color of the worm is dark
brown and the lower parts of stacks
and mows are, in February and Marcn,
fairly alive with them. They also
work on hay later in the season. They
are the larvae of a purple moth that
has a silken luster and two DrlsnI
spots on the wings. 1t is not entirely
settled whether the moth lays the eggs
that produce the worm exclusively al
ter the hay is put up, or whether eggs
are not also laid while the clover Is
yet in the field. The clover hay worm
works in mows as we'll as in stacked
hay, and while hay so affected may
be fed out to the cattle If fed early
enough, the worms then being con-
sumed along with the hay, if deferred
until later the work Of the larvae so
fills the hay with webs that the cattle
will refuse to touch it. From another
part of our correspondent letter we
find that he is putting this hay into a
new barn that he has just built. we
would advise him not to do this, as
he will be thereby preparing for big
ger crop than ever of the hay worm for
the next year. Hay in stacks is gen
orally worked on from the bottom up
for about two feet, and the only way
we know of combating the insect ls TO
| take off and feed all the good and burn
| that that is seriously affected. If it
| gets into the hay NOW the best thing
| to do is to clean out the NOW thor
oughly and burn that part of the hay
| that seems to be affected. ana then
turn in the chickens. Prof. Webster,
in Ohio, in 1891, however, found that
the majority of the larvae can be killed
by re-stacking the hay and dusting 1T
with two pounds of powdered pyreth-
rum mixed with ten pounds of flour, to
each ton of hay. We would suggest to
all our readers who have any consider
able quantity Of clover hay either IN
the stack or in the NOW, that now is
the time to examine thoroughly, par
ticularly the bottom of the mass, and
see whether it is affected. If it Is,
and that part of the hay that is being
worked upon can be got at, it should
be destroyed during this month and
next, as later on some moths win be
developed early, ready to lay eggs for
the following season"

When Letters Were Sent &. q. ID.

Free delivery by carriers was begun
In 1868. Before that date the postmen
used to collect a cent on each letter for
delivering it, In 1868 free delivery was
put into operation at siXty-six offices,
with $50 carriers, at an annual pay
roll of $4,000. Today we have 627
free delivery offices, 1881 carriers, and
it costs Uncle Sam $13, 100000 Any
place having a population of 10000, or
a revenue of $4,000 year from it's
postoffice, can demand free delivery
Nearly one-third of the people of the
united States have their mail brought
to their doors; the other two-thirds
have to go to the postoffice. Carriers
are paid from $500 to $1,000 year, and
have fifteen days vacation, with full
pay. They must be citizens of the
United States.

That Man Otis.

II have had some experience with
Gen. Otis" observed a wellknown
club man to a Washington Star re-
porter. ''and l was not much surprised
when | saw that he read the riot act
to the F'iipnos and cleaned them out.
Gen. Otis is one of the most careful
and conservative officials that | have
ever met. He makes up his mind Won
derfully slow, but when he does arrive
at conclusion it is for keeps, as the
Filipinos have learned and may again
learn before he gets through with
them. He is never in a hurry and is
the mildest hammered man that you
ever saw, hut when he gets a-gOing,
he does not hunt out a stopping place,
preferring to keep on going. l had
half-dozen opportunities of observing
that out in OMAHA where he was in
command for a long time, and rather
notable one in Savannah last winter.
Gen. Otis was the president Of the
court martial which tried Capt. o. M
Carter on charges of conspiracy, en-
bezzlement. defalcation and other
things too numerous to mention
Among the many persons who were
called to testify was fellow who had
once been a clerk for Capt. Carter but
who had afterward gone into the rail-
road business and then studied law.
He had been the counsel for a party
who had sued the government for some
land which had been taken in connec-
ton with the improvement OF the Sa-
vannah river, but the suit had been
compromised and Col. Barr. the judge
advocate of the court martial. wanted
to bring facts out so that some OF the
motives leading to the compromises
could be understood,
"The witness declined to answer the
questions put to him and became quite
saucy about it. Gen. Otis, as we'll as
the other members of the court martial,
knew that they could not legally com
pei an answer from an unwilling civil
ian witness, and, on his declining 70
answer, informed him that he would
be excused. The fellow made no at
tempt to leave the witness chair, ana

fessional ethics and an explanation lot
his refusal.
"He had told some of his friends
that he intended to have some FUN out
of the court, but he had not got hve
words out of his mouth when Gen.
Otis fell on him like a thousand OF
brick, saying: You are in contempt OF
this court. sir, and until you purge
yourself of this contempt you have no
right here. Leave the chair immedl-
ately.' The witness saw that his mad
was up and he got out OF the court
room in less time than it takes to say
it, forgetting all about his intention to
have some fun out of the court. 1t
was the way the thing was said that
produced the sensation. The witness
will never forget it, nor will any OF
those who heard it, and it still alarms
him when he is told that Gen. Otis IS
abOut"

WHEN PRESEN AT COURT.

There are many American women,
including some from CLicago WHO
are to be presented at the English
court this spring. It is interesting to
know just what they VIII have t. do
in order to conform to tho strict rules.
When the date OF raWiNG~r@0m IL
announced, the date when application
may be made is also told. lha mum
ber who may be presented ii tn"
general circle does not nY"2'2 200,
and therefore there is d grad wash to
get ones name in.
The woman VINO wants to Da pre-
sented must apply at the !or" cham
berlain's Office, st. Jane palace, for
the necessary card, On form, which has
to be filled in, tellinG Of whom Shc is
the daughter, of whom the wife, name
and address OF the lady making the
presentation, etc. These names the
lord chamberlain submits to Queen
Victoria for her approval and If tAcg
pass her august scrutiny presentation
cards are forwarded the cage apg!.-
cants.
On the day Of the draTjnG-,Con tne
applicant takes her cards to Buck
tngham palace and gives one to the
mage in waiting, stationed in the cor
ridor, and the other to TIE lo|G ham
berlain in the presence chamber, who
announces the names to her majesty
or the princess who is acting for the
queen. There are few old customs
in vogue, such as woman having to
be presented again on her marriage,
no matter if she was presented when
a. girl An unmarried woman cannot
make presentations.
If the queen holds the drawing-room
in person the woman presented re-
moves her right-hand glove, places
her hand beneath that of the queen
and kisses her majesty's hand. When
one of the princesses holds the draw
ing-room ladies only courtesy and
omit the hand kissing. The courtesy
is not slow and measured, but should
be quick and graceful. Full instruc-
tions as to ones dress are always
given at the lord chamberlain's office.

Garcia's Big Heart.

Hundreds are the stories Cubans are
telling of Calixto Garcia, the Cuban
general, whose death occurred some
time ago in Washington. Men who
served under Gen. Garcia knew him to
be strict disciplinarian. In fact,
there are those who have said he was
almost a martinez. SO faithful was
he to his own duty that he was ready
at all times to sacrifice life itself for
his country. and he expected every
man who marched under the flag OF
Cuba to be faithful as himself.
But Gen. Garcia was never without
sympathy for his followers. There
never was a time when he would not
sacrifice himself for one of his men.
During the siege Of Guaimiro, in De-
cember 1896, in which he captured six
teen forts in twelve days, one after an
other, he was accommodating one day
when young planter who had cast his
lot with the insurgent band was struck
by a Spanish sharpshooter's bullet and
fell to the ground within few feet OF
the general. mortally wounded.
Garcia dropped his field glass and
hastened to the young fellows side.
The Spaniards opened fire on the spot,
but, needless of the bullets, the general
raised the soldiers head and took from
him a message to his sweetheart at
home. Garcia stayed with the soldier
to the last and escaped unharmed.
Weeks later, in another part of the
island, the message was delivered to a
dark-eyed girl, who waited in vain for
her lover.
Shortly before war was declared be-
tween the United States and Spain,
Garcia was sitting one day watching
a soldier VINO was cooking the half
dozen potatoes which were all the de-
pleted commissariat afforded for the
generals dinner. With wistful eyes
two soldiers stood short distance
away, looking at the potatoes as they
were drawn from the Goals. Garcia
noticed the men and signaled for them
to approach
when did you last eat, JOSEF" he
asked the gauntest of the two.
"Last night, general"
"And them"
"Half a potato, sir. l gave the other
half to Manuel, here"
"Well" said Garcia, pointing to the
fire, "take those potatoes and eat them
all. We have work to do tomorrow. -
