TWRN FIVE DOLLAR PRIZE
ESSAY ON CLOVER CULTURE.

or purchase it from a well known a.
reliable dealer. This to evoid noxious
weed seeds. In buying seed the best is
the cheapest io the end A single
layer of seed that will adhere to q wet
fiager is convenient to test the purity
and condition of seed. A hand magni

On part of our farm the rotation ia

other corn, oats and grass two or three
years We SOW a mixture OF Two parts
timothy and one part clover, at the
rate of quarts per acre in the tall

in the spring, If possible, when the
grouud is honey Combed. In the last
named rotation timothy and clover ia
about equal proportions are sown az
Ehe rate of 10 quarts per acre when
the oats are sown. We have had sue
cessful stands OF graes by sowing in
oate 4 years out OF 5, and have never
had an entire failure. Our experiments
show that clover can be grown sue
cess 'ully with potash Rnd phosphoric
acid, and that nitrogen may be II IT

acid and potash. In trying timothy

pared with sowing il alone, the latter
gave the best results The reason thai
clover does not last in some cases more
than one year, is that iG is crowded out

timothy was sown we had good crop
of clover the second year, u hiie the
adjoining plat, on which timothy and
clover we're both sown, the hay WAS

material is left lying as cu7. It decays
and serves as mulch, and further il
keeps the weeds and stubble out of The

burning the sUubble, which in many
cas,s is q wasteful practice. Then,
too, the clipping induces the clover tc

WINTER sroRAD VEGETABLES.

0o-esnondence of The Progressive Farmer.
As now IL the most pr fGaole season
for winr er stored vegetables, it might be
q good hung to call attention to the cub
iset. Last fall we had some excellent
winter cabbeges, which, owing to the
low prices Cffered for them then, we
held In storage on the farm for g more
favorable market. There were six
tor 8 Of them, and they have just been
cold in New York markets for prices
VARYING between &6 and 50 per 100
Thev we're not all first class when
brought cut of their cold storage, but
By carefully grading them the highest
prices we're obtained for the best. II
they had been shipped jlst es they
were the lot would have been sold for
only a trIde above the lowest price.
These csbbages lost ve1y y little through
rotting or whiting, and We made fully
twenty per cent. more by keeping
them.
A somewhat similar experience was
had q ith q peigbbor who kept over q
lot of carrots and turnips Tnese netted
him good prices in January, and be ie
now CT fiIent that there is more money
in raising these winter vegetables for
the market than in culsivating them
for the early fall. During the height
Of the fall season the supply ia so great
that nearly every market Is ever
crowded. Most farmers wish TO realize
on thaIr products as soon as harvested,
and by 80 much eageTness they sacri-
nee a good deal. Others have no ade-
quate storage facilities for winter vege,
tables, and they have to dispose OF
them alm3st as soon as raised

"As interesting as Ben Hur" is
no small praise for book, for that
book reached the summit of popu-
larity shortly after its publication
and its fame has not abated. No
book of its kind has ever had a
stronger hold upon the American
people nor kept its position better
than it has. 1t is now enjoying
another run of popularity and its
publishers are experiencing another
great run on its sales.
An illustrated lecture on "Ben
Hur" will be given at the opera
house, Tuesday evening, April sd,
by Rev. B. F. Vaughan, pastor Of
the Christian church. The lecture
will be illustrated by seventy-two

Stock r,.,o. &c, . Nov. On.

The Santa Fe management has
instructed all agents 10 inform
shippers OF stock that an average
speed OF twenty miles an hour be-
tween division terminals will be
made with all stock trains this year.
This will be much better time than
was made with shipments of stock
last year. The increase in speed
will be possible because Of the re-
lease of fast engines for stock ser
vice by the arrival OF the forty
heavy locomotives ordered by the
Santa Fe some time ago The
heavy engines will be placed in
regular service, and the lighter en-
gines, capable Of making good
time with trains OF cattle, will be
used in stock traffic.

Hard to stand idly BY.

1t is very hard TO stand idly by
and see our dear ones suffer while
awaiting the arrival OF the doctor.
An Albany On. Y.) dairyman
called at drug store there for a
doctor to come and see his child,
then very sick with Group. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word
for him to come at once on his re-
turn. He also bought bottle OF
Chamberlain Cough Remedy,
which he hoped would give some
relief until the doctor should arrive.
In few hours he returned, saying
the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better The drug
gist, Mr. Otto Scholz. says the
family has since recommended
Chamberlains Cough Remedy to
their neigbbors and friends until
he has constant demand for il

CITIZENS TICKET.

Only one ticket for the city ele C.
ton which takes place April sd,
had been filed with the city clerk
up to 3 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Representatives of certain select
few, who have an annual spasm of
morality every spring. are still at
work trying to get some one to
run in opposition to what they
term the "whiskey ticket" but up
to the hour of going to press they
have not met with much success.
The citizens ticket, which appears
at the head of this article, is COM
posed OF the best citizens of this
community, and what possible OBJ
lection any man or woman pos
sessed OF good common sense and
an average amount OF reasoning
power could make to it is past
finding out.
Every man on the ticket is tax
payer and as much interested in
the welfare Of this community as
some of the select few who attempt
to disparage it for the reason that
it did not emanate from the strictly
virtuous and moral source upon
which they seem to have first
mortgage. Nothing good can
come out Of Israel, apparently,
until it has been properly branded
and passed the inspection OF GER
tain clique. The attempt to scare
some OF the candidates off the
ticket by bowling "whiskey ticket"
failed notably, and the authors of
it simply made themselves ridicu-
lsus in the eyes of all sensible peo-
pie. Better let well enough alone.
The ticket could not be improved
upon and will be elected from top
to bottom.
