Cover Sick Land.

We used to hear much Of land getting
clover sick, or SO that while rich
enough for corn or most Of the usual
farm crops. 1t seemed not to be suit
able for clover. Either the seed would
fail to catch or the plants would die
out before they had attained size
enough to show them above the other
grasses. Perhaps on a poor field near
by there would be good crop Of clover
growing. sOwn with seed from the
same bag and under the same condi-
tons of season. When we first noticed
this we saw that the farmers who had
used wood ashes on their fields had no
trouble in growing clover, and that In
pastures where bushes had been cut
and burned there were often punches
of clover, most frequently Of white
clover, that came in and remained until
they were killed out by being fed too
closely. This led US to believe the clover
would be benefited by the use Of wood
ashes or any form Of potash. Then we
noticed that farmers who used COM
mercial fertilizer In addition to their
manure had no trouble in growing
clover. Later studies showed us that
lime formed considerable part Of both
ashes and the superphosphates. and
thus we do not hesitate to advise any
one to apply lime where they wish to
grow clover. and to use acid phosphate
and muriate Of potash when they sow
the seed. or as topdressing afterward.
We think these are sure remedy for
cloyer-sick soil.-Exchange.

An Incident with Complications just
Little Ont of the Usual.
1t always disturbs me- said Mr..
Ellington, to see man on the ele-
waited road offer his seat to a woman
when he is about to get off; he has
perhaps let her stand in front of him
for blocks. and now when he is about
to give up his seat anyway he makes
a show of giving it to her. a curious
exhibition of about three-quarters con-
ceit and the rest cheek. Usually the
woman pays no attention to this man:
she takes the seat without thanks,
without taking any notice Of the man
whatever. But occasionally there is a
variation of this incident Sitting in
an end corner seat, by the door, was
tired man, who. in crowded car had
kept his seat seemingly because he
thought it was right that he should
if he had thought it out at all-but
who now when he was about to leave,
wanted to have the right person get
the seat he was leaving. With this
idea in his mind and not with any con-
ceit Of gallantry, he, when he had
risen, touched the sleeve of a young
woman who had been standing by the
door on the other side of the car op-
posite to him, 70 indicate to her that
here was a seat. He was slow about
this, with the slowness of one tired,
or unaccustomed to asserting himself.
and While he was stepping forward a
small boy who had been standing by
the door slid in back of him with boy
ish celebrity and took the seat. And
he kept it. New York Sun.

ENoLAND.s BORROWED ARMIES
Has Secured All Over Europe to Hire
Soldiers.


This is the first war Great Britain
has fought against white enemies with
out buying foreigners to fight for US,
says a London paper. Until less than
80 years ago, when we had war on
hand, we sent officials to Germany and
all over Europe, to engage men to fight
for us. The men engaged were most
~ old soldiers, and we're hired to fight
until the war was finished In 1756 an
invasion of England was feared, so
5000 Hessians were. hired to come and
defend these shores against the ex-
peeted attack. These hirelings were
paid at the British rate of pay, and for
every man of them killed their king
was paid SO much per head. Even
against the American colonists Hes
sian troops were employed. No won
der our ellow-Englishmen were en-
ragged at this shameless action. The
landgraVe of Hesse was paid $685.
600 in per cent stock for the Hes
slams lost in the war of independence.
This was the amount of $3.50 per man.
The Irish rebellion of 1898 was put
down chiefly by Hessian hirelings. In
the long struggle with Napoleon we
freely hired foreigners, but the bulk
of the work was done by British sol
diers. Wellington found that he could
not rely on his mercenary gangs too
much. In 1904 the Kings German le-
gion" of 10000 men was formed. Two
years later the force was increased by
5000 men. Besides Germans from all
the petty states there were also en-
listed French royalists expelled by Ma
poleon, Corsicans, Greeks, Italians,
Turks. Portuguese, Belgians, Hungari-
ans and Swiss. At Waterloo, Yelling
tons army of $1,000 was made up of
only $4,000 British, and the rest were
Dutch, BrunsWickers, Hanoverians and
Nassaumen. When peace came in 1914
there were no less than $4,000 hired
foreigners forming corps in the British
army The Crimean war was the last
time Britain had to go a-hiring sol
diers. Thirty thousand men had been
sent to the Crimea and more were
wanted. So the government went to
parliament with bill authorizing the
enlistment Of 10000 Germans, 5000
Swiss and 5000 Italians, at British
rates of pay.

KoREA's CLOSED DOORS
Afford No Field for American Enter


prise.
In pursuance of the policy now pur-
sued by the consular service of ascer-
tanning the state of foreign fields as
opportunities for American labor, cap
ital and enterprise, Horace w. Allen,
consul general to Seoul, Korea, writes
for the consular reports under date of
January % that Korea now employs
no foreign military officers as advisers
or instructors in it's army, and is not
likely to do SO, owing to an agreement
made with Russia when large staff
Of Russian officers were allowed to
leave. By this agreement Korea an
noaneed her ability and intention to
dispense with further assistance of that
kind. The many requests from young
men who have recently left the service
of the United States asking for posi-
tions in connection with the Korean
army are futile. There is no demand
for their services in Korea. There is
no demand for foreign advisers to the
Korean government. Although two
Americans who held such positions
have recently died, their places have
been filed, and there is no further de-
mand for assistance of that kind. The
newspaper report that one of these
advisers had been receiving a salary Of
100000 gold per annum is entirely
misleading; such positions pay from
$3.50 to $3.50 per month. There is no
demand for employees on the railroads
in Korea. Japanese control and OPP
crate the steam railroad, and Koreans
and Americans are employed on the
electric railroads. I believe the posi-
lions are all filed. Employment with
the mines would have tc be secured be-
fore coming to Korea, The agent Of
the mines in America is H. A Noble,
representative of the Oriental Consol-
idated Mining company, San Francisco.
Prospectors cannot operate in Korea,
and there is no employment with the
mines other than on wages. am told
the mining company has no lack of ap-
plieantS.

Speed of ocean Liners.

In an article in Casters Magazine
On steam speeds at sea, Mr.. Oldham
says twenty-five years 100 the Atlantic
had never been crossed by a screw
steamer at a greater rate than fifteen
miles an hour, that of the fastest liner,
Scotia. Today steamers have reached
the speed of twenty-five miles an hour,
and, although the power required to
propel steamer varies with the cube
of the speed. yet, before a third of the
next century expires, another increase
Of at least 50 per cent in ocean speed
may be safely predicted. The con-
struction of steamer of $4,000 tons
will probably not trouble the con-
struetors of the future nearly as much
as did the building of the Great East
ern those Of the past.
