grown in the gardens at Washington
and in various other localities. Reports
concerning it are not very favorable
excepting from some parts of Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana.
Newspaper reports give very high
yields in the Rocky Mountain regions,
but in India it has not exceeded in any
case 25 bushels per acre under most
favorable conditions and any yields
above this must be substantiated be-
fore they can be accepted. If the crop
can be made to yield rs bushels per
acre Agrostologist Smith thinks that
it will be valuable addition to western
forage crops, but until still further
trials are made he advises the western
farmer to be careful about investing
much money in seed or devoting much
land to its culture.
The plant is sensitive to cold, conse-
quently the seed must not be sown un-
til the middle of May or the first of
June. 1t will grow on almost any kind
of soil, but prefers heavy loans. 1t
may prove valuable as a winter crop in
the southern states, on land which is
unsuited to vetches and crimson clover.
1t requires only moderate amount of
moisture. In common with all legu-
minous plants it has the power Of alb
sorbing nitrogen from the air and stor-
ing it up in the soil, and consequently
it is good plant for soil renovation

HORSES LOVE COMPANY.
Should BE Condemned to Sol
ItRry Confinement.

No stallion, no matter what offense
he may have been guilty of, should be
condemned to solitary confinement,
says the Horseman. Put him in some
CHEEKY stall where he may hear what
is going on, see other horses and men
and generally live the life of other
horses on the farm. Don't shut him
away by himself so that he will hear
or see nothing all day. There is no
surer way to make a horse cross, no
surer way to teach him bad habits and
tricks that lessen his value and impair
his usefulness and vitality. No, far
from keeping the stud all by himself,
have a wire-protected window in his
stall so placed that he can see what
is going on, hear the voice of man and
enjoy the society of the chickens and
cats and feel that he is verify one of
the stock family on the premises. If
more than one stallion is kept on the
farm, build them house by themselves,
not away in one corner, but up where
it is handy to get to them and leave
an open space barred with iron be-
tween them in the partition that di-
vides their stalls. Through this space
they will converse together, in all prob
ability tell each other their woes, and
if anyone will take the trouble to watch
unseen the procedure of pair of stall
lions thus housed, he will see them with
their noses at the aperture in the par
titiOn more than half the time. If
thus provided for, they will never get
lonely. Who shall say that horses can
not carry on some sort of conversation
in their own way? They may not be
able to do so, but they dearly love COM
pany and they must have it.

SOME TURKEY TALK.
Eggs Laid by TwO-Yenr-Old Hens Are
tie Only Satisfactory Ones
for Matching.

The first clutch of eggs laid by q
turkey are seldom fertile, and if by
chance few are, they Invariably hatch
out weakly poults and crippled ones,
no matter whether heeggs were placed
under hen or in an incubator, says
Poultry Journal. The second clutch
laid do quite often hatch very well.
but the poults are not so strong as
the ones Matched from eggs laid by
two-year-old hen. If the young tur-
key hens can have their entire liberty
and can forage at will there will be
quite difference in the vitality Of the
poults. Of naturally roaming dispo-
sition they are better contented, do
better in every way, are not so liable
to disease and the results are in every
way more satisfactory if you allow
them to follow this instinct of rowing
at will in search of living. If the
hen should select nest in some out
of-the-way place, don't NEEDLE, just
let her alone, and do not allow your
self to be unnecessarily nervous over
it. Turkeys can stand great deal Of
letting alone" and they hatch more
poults and stronger ones by such treat
ment. l shouldn't advise anyone to
move a brood of turkeys unless it wasan
old one and accustomed to being ham
died by its owner. The second cause
is lice; they will kill more poults
and do it quicker than any other

she lay the poor frozen, wounded and
starving men, administered cordials,
heated bricks from an old chimney
which she caused to be pulled down,
putting them around the men to fur
ther mitigate their awful sufferings,
her only shelter from the piercing
winds being a tattered old tent.
On Morris Island, after our attack
and repulse at Fort Wagner again like
ali angel of mercy she appeared, giving
succor to the wretched men, "who
dragged themselves over the burning
sands that the sea winds blew like
needle-points into their wounds" Her
reply, when asked how she dared risk
in midsummer this dreadful place of
swamps and shadeless sand was key
to her nature: "Why, somebody had
to go and take care of the soldiers, and
so went" All through the war it was
the same story, courageous, helpful and
enduring. She was in many battles and
often under fire, but never was wound
ed. The God of the Right could not
spare her.
To her work at the close of the war
in establishing a bureau of records of
missing men, we can only make brief
reference, At Andersonville she sue
ceeded in identifying and marking the
graves of all but 400 of 10000 graves
of buried soldiers. Miss Barton never
was paid for her services, never asked
for pay, using her own income freely,
saying: What is money to me, if l
have no country ?"-Margaret Sargent

CLARA HARLOWE BARTON.
Early Life of the Noble Woman Who
Was the "Angel of the Battle
field" In the Civil War.

Many years ago sojourned for few
weeks in the old town of North Oxford,
Mass. l remember very little of the
place nr its people, except that the
former was the birthplace of Clara
Barton, and that the latter were never
tired Of sounding the praises of their
celebrated townswoman
The nursing and "mothering" in
stinct showed itself very early in
Clarl's career, She was a hardy, bright
little girl, cheerful in temperament.
Never having been deprived of the
freedom of outdoor life when young,
she was fearless and almost wild in her
sports. Winters snowdrifts had no ter
rors for her in her two-mile walk to
school.
When Clara was II years old, she be-
gan her career as nurse in her broth
'er's sickroom, where he was confined
for two years, the result of a fall; and
here, by her deft ways and ready sym
'pathy, the little girl showed a natural
fitress for the work to which she, was
called in after life,
When Miss Barton was 10 years of
age she began teaching school in her
native town. In 1853 she went to Bor-
dentown, N. j., and established free
school, much against the prejudices of
the town authorities. 1t proved sue
cess, and in one year had grown from
a school with only six scholars, in
poor little building, to a fine ediHce
accommodating 500 pupils. After
working very hard for number of
years Miss Barton visited Washing
