clover timothy or alfalfa? 1t makes
from fifteen to twenty-five bushels of

Answer-Red clover and crimson clover
are not the same. Red clover is bi
ennial plant Crimson clover is strictly
an annual plant. They are so different
in habit that 1T Is not usual to compare
them with each other. Crimson clover

October at the rate of ten to twelve
pounds per acre and brushed IN on Wen

clover requires a good stiff clay soil.
Crimson clover does very well on light

INSTEAD OF trying to cut down tue
privileges of newspaper TRANSMISSION
at second elias rates, it is urged that
Congress had better revise the law
regulating railway charges. This
was ADOPTED in 1878, and since that
time, there has been an enormous
reduction in the amount that IT
costs the railroads to handle the
mails. For example, where an en-
CINE hauled three or four cars then 1t
hauls eight or ten cars now, ana
where a car carried ten tons OF mail
then it carries forty tons now. Inc
entire expense of building and equip
ming mail cars is borne by the rail
way companies, but they are built
according to plans and specifications
furnished by the department. The
government pays $1,000 year rental
for each car, although the first cost
Of construction is less than $4,000.
