A Defence OfSweet Clover

| wish to enter most vigorous
protest, says \. S. in Rural New
Yorker, against wha, L. 4. Clinton
says in The Il. y. Y. Of July :
about Sweet clover being a very
obnoxious weed, also that it is
mot relished by cattle. l have had
considerable experience with Swe, t
clover both as a fertilizer and feed
for cattle. 1t is undoubtedly the
most vigorous and heaviest produc-
er Of all the cloyers, and will. as
Mr. Clinton truly says, grow wheC.
other clover will not hive. 1t stuts
growing early in the spring, and
produces 4 heavy growth in time
to turn und-r for corn, potatoes or
any other crop. 1t will also pro-
duce two heavy crops Of extra good
hay III one season. and COWS fed on
i, will produce the finest Favored
milk and butter, aud surely all the
cattle ike it very much. l have
seen cows leave other grasses and
feed ON the clover. We have
wintCrcd our horses on this clover
for two winters with great success,
never having done better would
suggest sowing the Sod in the
SD ring, the sans a. Other clover,
and thoroughly work it in the grcud
then roll il with heavy roller. 1t
will grow nicely the first season
and blossom but very little: the
next season will give two good
crops, and never freeze out or die
ont as other clovers do unless al
lowed to go u seed. In that case
the old stalk and root will die, bur
the seed that ripens will fall 10
the ground and get so nice q start
that they will give two crops the
next season, so that after the first
year it will rcseed. or, in other
words, will care for itself II any
b one wishes to discontinue growing
it, just plow under the green ma
nure. and that will be the end of il
rs a growing plant I am unable
to see where the obnoxious" prin-
ciple comes III. Ii farmers would
SOW sweet clover seed freely they
? would soen get free of many weedr
such as mgweed, daises. etc. be-
cause it is such a strong grower
:, that it will run out almost any 9th
: er plant. SO you can see that IL.
stead Of haviAg The fields covered
t with obnoxious weeds, you caI
d have them covered with u very val
uable forage plant that will build
: up the land wonderfully Gen

Effects of Taxation.

The American people have long

.ax has many other effects b sides
hat Of raising revenue fer the
government. The majority believe
II a tax on imports to destroy for
.lgn competition with American
goods. A tax is collected on dogs
when such become nuisance. New
factories are often exempt from To-
cal taxes for the purpose Of secur-
ing their location in such commun-
tiles. Many other instances might
be cited to show that a tax is often
used for other proposes besides
that of raising revenue. Few, how
ever, are familiar with the cconom-
ic law that taxes on all forms Of
wealth (products of labor make
them scarcer and dearer, but tax
on land values will make land more
plentiful to the user and will dis

WHITE MEN NOT WANTED
THE KENNEBEC TAKES A CREW
OF JAPANESE.
Captain Lewis Refuses to Sail With
Union Men and Ships Japs for His
Vessel.

Captain Lewis of the ship Kennebec
is taking a Japanese crew, because the
Sailors Union has made too heavy rates
for white men. Yesterday he shipped a
full crew of Japs, but he found that six
of them were not able to do the work
on board the ship and he is now after
more. The Kennebec is the second ship
to take Japs since the Union got the
upper hand on the front here, and be-
gan making demands for higher wages
than have been the rule.
The unions terms are still fifty dol
lars a man for the trip to the Sound,
but there are conditions that make the
terms worse than they appear. The
union men are to do nothing but sail
the ship This means none of the con-
slant cleaning and deck-scrubbing that
makes the life of the average sailor
such a burden. When there is nothing
to be done aloft the men are supposed
to have the right to sit around and play
cards. Anyone who has been to sea
knows how different this is from the
usual programme. The sailor is kept
busy cleaning or polishing something or
other all the time. AN idle crew is a
mutinous crew." in the old saying, and
the average skipper never runs any
risks on that score.
The Kennebec is said to be paying her
Japs $50 a month. This is more than
many white crews got last year.
Honolulu is said to be the only port
in which the Sailors Union of the Pa
cific has made such a complete success
as it has, in getting control This
is due to the peculiar conditions, the
harbor being comparatively empty dur
ing some months, so that men become
scarce. When the many vessels that
are due from Newcastle begin to arrive
and discharge their crews, conditions
are expected to change.
