All extra labor and time spent in
Harvesting the team is wasted. 1t is
true economy to use snaps in place of
the clumsy buckle that takes three
times as long to fasten properly. But
be sure and have snaps with a spring
strong enough to hold the lines in place,
or economy in time will be gained at
the expense of safety. All the devices
to make small jobs easier and take less
time will be adopted by the enterpris-
ing farmer, who recognizes that on the

Va1ue of White Glover

One of the bad effects of frequently
blowing and thoroughly cuItivating
soil is that this runs out the white
clover, which is one of the most valu-
able pasture plants we have. besides
also furnishing the very best pasture
for bees. The plant is a lowrunning
vine, roofing as it spreads through the
soil, yet, being true clover 1t rots
quickly when plowed under. No one
OF the grasses. except blue grass and
orcl ard grass, will stand drought so
well, and as most of its roots run near
the surface. moderate rain revives il,
and sets it to blossoming again. In
wet seasons bees make white clover
honey even up to September, if there
are enough dry days for them to be
out. White clover Is prolific seeder,
but owing to its creeping habit of
growth the seed is hard to gather and
always sells high. 1t will pay to sow
some on land designed for pasture, and
gather the seed when 1t occupies the
whole land If sown with red clover
or alsike no white clover will be seen.
But 1t is there under the growth of the
larger clover, waiting to make big
growth when they die out-American

what Arab Music sounds Like.

Arab music has been described as
the singing of prima donna who has
ruptrlred her voice in trying to sing a
duet with herself. Each note starts
from somewhere between a sharp and
fiat, but does not stop ever here, and
splits up into four or more portions, of
which no person can be expected to
catch more than one at a time.

Making Sweet soap Grease.


In many farmhouses all the scraps
of fat, cooked and uncooked, are
threwn together in large tub or ket-
tie, where, exposed to air, it quickly
becomes exceedingly offensive to the
senses. One wonders howsit can be
that such sinking grease can be
changed into good, cleansing soap. But
it is, and the explanation isSthat the
thorough boiling which the grease with
the ley receives destroys all the offens-
i've germs. But itonly does this after
much of the value of the grease has
been destroyed. Get-a cake of potash
and make a strong ley of it. Throw
this over the grease and fat, entirely
covering It. The grease win be partly
turned into soap by this, and win keep
sweet without any waste.

plea for a rehearing upon the construc-

The opinion was that no officer or enlisted
man should act as bartender at any
canteer; but that beer could be sold. The
delegation urged that this was a per
version of the law.
The members of the delegation, after
their call. reported the President as say
ing that the opinion of the Attorney
General was given without any previous
knowledge on his part, that he did not
know that an opinion had been asked for
by the Secretary OF War; neither did he
know that such an opinion bad been
given until several days afterward, and
that he would look into the matter per
sonally. and if the opinion Of the Attor-
nev-General was found to be correct IL
should stand. but he added that all men
were fallible. and that If the AttorneY-
General had made "a mistake he had no
doubt he (Griggs) would be ready 10 rec
