Sowing Glover.


An acquaintance recently asked us
why red clover sown in the fall would
not provide good crop the next year,
1t usually winter killed, while the
clover that came up in his garden lived
until hoed out, and continued to show
all the season. We viii give what we
think are the reasons. Self sOwn clo-
yer is the product of the secl nd crop
mown in September. On or rear the
surface of the ground some comes
Up and quickly takes root. Often it is
protected through the winter by the
remains of weeds or vines left in the
garden, which serve as mllch. and
t. this is not disturbed sucl, plants
are ready to grow in the spring. Other
seed lie dormant and Ilake an earlier
Scarf the next year than Eewly sown
seed, and the rich garden soil enables
them to make rapid growth. But they
are seldom plenty enough to p:O1uce
what we would call I fair crop of
clover Some of tie stronger plants
live and others do rot, and the clover
t-lul WOulu Hihc ul OulOu Dcu lOOh
weedy would be scarcely sufficient
to make clover meadow. All vari-
cites of clover send down long tap
root to bring up fertilizer from the
subsOil, or perhaps several feet be-
low. Even September seeding will
not produce plants with roots strong
enough to resist the action Of the
heaving Of the ground by frost. and
they are broken and must die or de-
pend upon food taken by the lateral
roots to give them a new start. Pos
sbly, or we will say, most probably,
fa.l-sown clover would live if it was
Oh sell which frost did not heave
much, and was protected by mulch,
or even by crop Of thinly sowl rye,
or even fall-sown oats or fiat tCrnips
that would set IS mulch during the
winter.-BOStOn CultivatOr

Criminal Insane May DO Made to Work
A solution of the problem which the
state Sanitarium, in its present over
crowded condition presents, Is Sug
gcsted by Senator John Il. Allen of the
twentieth Senatorial District, in which
the asylum is loca teG, and he will in
trOduce during the present session OF
The Legislature 4 bill seeking to EN-
body his idea into law Senator AL
lens suggestion is. simply stated, that
the c-iminally insane should be sent
to the prison farm, and there made to
wo"k Ike other convicts. In the re-
port which the Trustees of the asylum
have just issued, complaint is made
that the criminally insane class has
increased in a startling ratio recently.
and that they, the Trustees, are COM
PEELED to keep these with the other
insane. Senator Allen believes that
not only will his plan Of removing this
class to the prison farm relieve the
pelplexing condition which now OBJ
tainJ at the asylum. but will operate
TO decrease the number Of pleas of
insanity now entered in the courts.

IN ARIZONA there is county
called Coconino, and the Colorado
River crosses it with many curve
and twist. 1t lies in the northern
part of the Great Colorado Plateau and
is west of the Moqui country. Long
after the railroad line from Flagstaff
to AShfork was completed plan was
formed to build another line into Co.
conino and thence by heroic measures
to pass into the most rugged scenery
Of the Colorado, and open that canyon
land to tourists. 1t some respects 1t
was q foolish project, but n prelim-
mary survey was ordered, and party
sent out with a young civil engineer
by the name of Bowden at its head.
He had studied at Ann ArDor and also
at the University Of Minnesota. His
experience in field work covered about
five years prior to the time of his AZ
rival in Flagstaff. He was not IA
miliar with the Southwest, its climate
and peculiar topography, but he had
associated with him a man by the
name of Watts, who had lived for
many years in the vicinity of Pres
colt and who understood the perils
that confronted the surveying party
in its attempt to find railroad route
in COconinO.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
How The Day Was Observed In Historic
Annapolis Chinese Laundrymen
Have Pyroteohnio Display.

The Glorious Fourth was a hot old
day in Annapolis. Halt the inhabitants
went picnicing on the bluffs OF the creeks
and shady spots on the river bank. Others
went 10 Cnautauqua Beach and some
took in the Emma Giles trip to West
River. The few stay -at-homes hung
around loose and took things easy. Ice
cream saloons did rushing business,
and soda water fountains were overtaxed.
The creeks were dotted with bathers all
day, and the row boats carried out their
sweltering burdens tor breath of salt air.
The day was generally observed as all
holidays are-banks, offices and stores
being closed. AT night there was bril-
liant display OF fireworks all over the city.
The handsomest display was on Main
street in front OF the City Drug Store,
where the Chinese laundrymen sent up
ten thousand fire crackers on a single
wire twenty feet in height for Mr.. James
ID. FeldmeyeT, OF the City Drug Store.
Other pyroiechnics were shot of all over
town, and the display was more elabor-
ate than on any previous occasion. There
was not single accident throughout the
day. The flag was flown to the bree re
from the State House dome, and many
of the residences and public buildings.
