Glover Hay.
NJ. G. KAINS.

We notice In contemporary an as
sault on clover hay. The writer OF the
article in question seems to think 1t
an impossibility to get clover hay In
good order, and says he had rather
raise three babies than one clover hay
crop" That is an odd comparison,
and we are inclined to think that he
knows about as much about raising
one as the other. The complaint Is
made that 1t is difficult to get catch.
and after the catch is made 1t Is diff
cult to know when to cut 1t. After
that the rain always comes. with him.
and soaks the hay, making 1t moldy
and unfit to use. Well, we would adj
wise little experience in the matter.
1t is indeed often difficult to get
catch, and in some years no amount
of forethought can prevent a failure.
Many of our best farmers succeed in
getting a start by sowing on the snow
in March.
AS to cutting clover, It has long been
a settled tenet with our scientific
farmers to cut at time Of the earliest
blooms, unless the field Is small one,
when 1t may be cut at time of full
bloom. The reason for moving at
time Of first blooms is to get the whole
field cut and in process OF curing be-
fore the blooms begin to fade. This
prevents the stalks becoming woody
and gives us the fodder In the best
possible shape. The curing of clover
hay is not such a difficult feat, with
good weather. If foggy New England
can cure clover hay, we see no reason
why it should be a difficult task In the
West, where the amount OF sunshine
per month Is much greater. In recent
years, too, we have the help Of new
invention-the hay cap. These caps
can be made for a few cents each, and
are a complete protection against
storms that may come at time of cur
ing the clover. They will last long
time, for some years they will not
have to be used at all.

There are many old orchards that
might be galvanized into life by
thorough pruning. When they are in
their last stage the danger of such an
operation is small; for their usefulness
is near an end anyway, and II few
extra crops can be obtained by heroic
methods, they should be applied. 1t
is no unusual thing to see decadent
orchard given up to the woodman. A
few issues ago we referred to some
experiments by II. A. Aldrich, in
which the results Of pruning an old
orchard were SHOWN. In his case the
trees bore heavy crop of apples the
following year. Whether subsequent
years will snow success or failure re-
mains to be seen. The effect may be
where heavy crop Is secured for few
similar to that of gir6ling or ringing,
years, but early death results. In the
case of young vineyards and orchards
this is not result to be worked for;
but We can afford to take long chances
with dying orchards.

The writer remembers an old Green
ing apple tree in the East that had
lived and borne fruit till its trunk had
been split open by some process of
nature, revealing a heart falling into
decay. A great gale came and tipped
the tree over till 1t rested on its
branches. One would think that such
a tree had lived out it's entire life, and
this would have been the case had not
the tree been in a place that was In
every way suitable to stimulate It's
recovery. 1t was sheltered to some
extent by the farm outbuildings and
more by board fence. 1t also re-
ceived the drainage from the barn
yard, and in fact its roots extended
to the barnyard. So 1t continued to
live, and year after year 1t bore a
small quantity of very large apples,
which were fine in texture and superior
In quality. 1t illustrated the fact that
large supply OF fertility In liquid
form Is Of great value as a health
restorer to decadent trees. II we would
take this lesson more to heart we
would have fewer unproductive or
chards. The statement is probably
true that more orchards are starved to
death than are killed by overlooking.

uor.,cu,,ura, Observations.

As spring approaches the mind OF
the farmer naturally turns towards
the planting OF seeds and the setting
out OF plants. At this time do not per-
init the practical to entirely eclipse the
beautiful. Take another step in ad-
vance in the ornamentation OF the
farm and home. Put out q few trees
and vines at least. This does not
necessarily mean a large outlay for
trees and shrubs brought from q dis
tance. In many places on the farm
trees will be found growing wild that
II removed and placed in a position
where they will be observed In rela-
ton to certain other objects will be-
come things of beauty and value. A
few running vines, planted In proper
positions. will add much to the ap-
pearance OF the old place.
According to the statement OF q
prominent hortIculturist. frozen apples
may be utilized in the making of vine
gar. The gentleman in mind said that
one winter he had some apples stored
In his mill that were caught by hard
freeze. He did nothing with them till
they were thawed out in the spring.
at which time he put them into his
cider mill and ground and pressed
them. He got one-thi-d more cider
than usual and it made first-class vine
gar, and even took less time to ac-
quire acidity than cider made from
unfrozen apples. We all know how
Juicy the apple is that hangs ON the
tree all winter and Is thawed out In
the spring. But II there Is no objec-
ton to such vinegar the question nat
urally rises why don't they make all
their cider that way. since they gain
one-third more In quantity?"

six-years-old boz who is Creek In

formed in Chicago the ether day by

formed by trephining section OF the
skull. then opening the membranes Of

Tired of Living with Him.
After a married life of 25 years,
during which time they have gotten on
well with each other, Mrs. Benjamin
". Levy. wife of the famous Diamond
King" has sued her husband for di-
vorce. Levy owns the great 'Kimber-
ley" diamond, which is valued at $780,
COO. Cruelty is the ground alleged by
the woman for separation and she re-
lates many instances of cruel treat
nent. NJ. Levy asserts that his wife's
claims are exaggerated In every par
ticular and mostly untrue. He testi-
fed that during his continued absence
in distant parts of the world his wife
was very literally provided for. He
returned to New YORK In 1898. after 8:
long absence. Before going away he
had placed in the vaults OF the Nation
al Park bank three United States bonds
Of $1,000 each and number OF rare
specimens of diamonds and some valu.
able jewelry. Soon after his return
he asked his wife for the key of the
vault. When he went to the vault he
found it empty. He accused his wife %
having disposed of these things and ii
separation soon followed. Judge Law
renee of New York city said that after
SO many years of married life he
thought the couple ought to try to rec
oncile their difficulties.
