government report says: These are
among the Oldest cultivated grasses,
and are probably grown nor widely
than any others in Europe. They have
been used largely in the Northern
states, where they are often sa%tisfac-
tory, but in the South they have not
done we'll except in a few especially
favorable locations. They succeed best
on a rich, moist, sandy soil containing
a fair amount Of lime, and on such
soils are fairly permanent, but on dry,
thin soils and heavy clays they o
disappear. They will cover the ground
sooner and make a better sward In q
few weeks after planting than most
other grasses, and are valuable where
quick results are wanted and for COW
ering the ground while other and more
permanent sorts, like redtop and or
chard grass, are becoming established.
When sown alone on rich soils their
growth is so rank that the ground is
soon covered with a dense mat of long
leaves, which make the best of grazing
or hay, but If allowed to become too
dense will die and decay after heavy
rains. While excellent TOR mixing with
other grasses for both pastures and
meadows, they cannot be recommended
for sowing alone. The most common
varieties are the Italian, Pacey's and
the perennial rye grasses. The per-

Yellow Clover Seed.

A German Observation-Disclosures
made some experiments to ascertain
II there is any difference in the germi-
mating power Of the differently colored
clover seeds. He picked out the yell
low, green, brown, light brown, dark
brown and black seeds and planted
them by themselves. They were care
fully watched and all were treated to
identical conditions. Very few of the
green seeds developed enough to form
cotelydons, and they were very weak.
Practically all Of the yellow seeds de-
veloped and formed strong plants.
The light brown also did we'll, but did
not give SO good returns as the yellow
seeds. In the first place the number
of seeds that terminated was less than
with the yellow. and the plants were
not so thrifty. The brown and dark
brown and black seeds were Of value
only according as they approached the
lighter shade, and the darker ones
were practically Of no value. We do
not know that any like experiment has
been carried out here. but it is one
that is easily carried through. We do
not know that the above experiment
vas repeated enough times to make 1t
valuable as an indicator. II it can be
used as an index at all, it teaches that
the seed that contains the most yellow
grains is best.

utilize ill Manure.

OF every 1000 bushels Of corn fed to
stock 800 goes into the manure pile.
That Is, only about 20 per cent Of the
whole is utilized by the digestive sys-
tenn Of the animal. The provident
farmer will, therefore, see to it that
this large per cent Of his corn crop
is returned to the land. Another fact
that should be considered in connec-
ton with this n is that a very large
part of the nutrient is contained in the
liquid manure.
The practice therefore Of hauling out
the manure often is to be commended.
In the ordinary barnyard there is no
possibility Of conserving all the ma
nure il the pile is allowed to grow un-
molested from fall till spring. The
reason is plain. Every barnyard to be
serviceable must be well-drained, and
this means that there is provision for
carrying off the surplus water or
liquid. The manure is frequently
drenched and suffers most from the
spring rains. Not only is all the liquid
manure carried away, but the solid
manure has much of its virtue washed
out of 1t.
Experiments have shown that the
loss is often half of the total manure
Let a man consider that this means
say 400 bushels of o-n for every S0O
bushels he should have put back on
his land, and he may begin to consider
the feasibility and the necessity OF
taking the best Of "a Of this ind1-
rect wealth. A very few farmers have
tanks and reservoirs under their barns
for the conservation Of both the liquid
and solid manure. but by far the great
err number of farmers have no such
arrangements, and. what is more.
never will have such. The only plan
that stands any chance of being uni
versally adopted Is that of hauling out
the manure often through the winter
an , having it dumped in small piles
where the rains can wash it into the
g.'ound at will, the residue being scat
'.,ed over the ground IS soon as the
Seather permits in the spring. We
leel certain that If the plan of haul
ing out the manure often through the
winter were adopted it would mean
millions of dollars annually in the
pockets Of American farmers.

Foecn Trees with Apple 11oos
At q recent meeting Of the st. Louis
County (Mo.) Horticultural Society
Professor Written was asked about
peach trees as filters for apple trees.
He said there were ONE objections to
the plan inasmuch as the peach re-
quires different treatment than the
apple. especially in spraying. It is
sometimes necessary to spray apples
with q mixture that would injure the
peach foliage and with these two plant
ed close together 1t would be very in
convenient to treat the n without

the other. Again it usually requires
more courage than most Of us have to

However, considering the value of
lands near st. Louis, it is more inn
portant that every available inch be
utilized and more immediate returns
than where land can be procured for
only a few dollars per acre and it may
therefore be desirable to use the peach
as a filler in this locality.

The rise OF cotton to 9.19 cents means much

the Southern grower, naturally the object of
first consideration, can only be conjectured
Somebody has sent forward from plantations or
interior towns 618.1 S9 bales since February 2.
against 701 last year. and the advance in
price over last year. 175 cents February l. and
now 2.69 cents, averaging 2.17 cents a pound
over last year, means gain OF about So 800 900
in the value. Certainly a large share of the
gain was pocketed by factors and traders TO
whom most of the cotton long ago sold by
growers, but perhaps the farmers also have
realized a share. The country certainly gains
and Europe loses nearly S11 a bale on 491 718

PaU1PO AT Albany

Last summer when this city was startled by
the bipartisan Ramapo deal all eyes were turned
toward the Hon. Thomas c. PIatt AS the mas
ter of the Legislature which gave the Ramapo
company its extraordinary privileges, and as
the creator Of the present Tammany city gov
eminent, he naturally appeared to be the con-
Meeting link between the ostensible political
enemies who were working in such sweet bust
ness harmony. He was the magician who could
control all the Independent forces, the show
man for whom the puppets habitually danced.
Mr.. Lauterbach was one of his faithful ser
wants, who had agreed with him in wanting q
Tammany rather than a partisan Mayor,
and ii was not surprising to find him getting
his reward through q business contract with
that Tammany Mayor whom he and Mr.. Plat
had helped elect. Mr.. butcher was friend of
Mr. Platt General Tracy had been imposed
upon and led in ignorance to ask the Governor
TO sign a bill giving the company improper
powers. Mr.. Platts sons law firm had been
counsel for the company before the State Off
Gals at Albany. All these persons revolyed
about Mr. Platt and were subject to his in
huence. and when their relations with the COM
pany favored by Tammany were known an
immediate demand arose for the examination
of Mr. Platt before the now forgotten MaZet
Committee. Mr.. Plat, however was modest
de was no such power people imagined. All
these men who generally represented him had
come together In this case entirely of their own
accord and he had nothing TO do with the enter
prise. Therefore he declined 10 be a witness
and rather than respond 70 a subpoena dis
solved the committee, and in revenge has since
held up the bill Of Mr.. Moss for services as
counsel to the coIGL>.;1ee
AS the present session of the Legislature
drags its useless length along attention is again
inevitably turned to Mr.. Platt and the mys-
terious power of Ramapo over men who are as
much under his control as If he paid their cleo
ton expenses out of his private purse, and in
consequence owned their votes as his private
property. For weeks bills have been In the
Assembly to safeguard New York from sudden
and wasteful contracts like the one which Mr.
Lauterbach and Tammany almost carried
through, and to give the city an equal chance
with the Ramapo company in controlling rival
watersheds The passage of these bills is de-
manded by every consideration of public in
