Employe Unjustly Accused.

It Is stated at the War Department that
there Is no truth in a report which has
obtained general circulation that an ele-
vator conductor in that building had been
summarily dismissed for expressing graft
fication at the assassination Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. It is admitted, however, that an
employe had been accused of expressing
such sentiments. and had been suspended.
An investigation conducted by Superin-
tendent Baird showed clearly. however,
that the charge was unfounded, and the
accused employe was restored to duty.

WILL NOT BE FLAGSHIPs.
Change in Original Plans for New
Protected Cruisers.

The original plans for the protected cruis-
ers of the st. Louis class now under con-
structfon contemplated their use as flag
ships, and quarters were provided for ad-
mirals. It has just been decided. however,
not to use this class Of vessels for ..uch
service, and the order for the construction
of admirals' quarters has been counter
manded. This action Is based on the con-
clusion that armored cruisers are better
adapted for service as nagships than cru1s-
ers Of the protective type.

AaFtest Bells.

From the LOnuOn CufouiCle.
A quaint bdt dying custom dating from
the middle ages. Which still obtains in a
few country spaffyhes, is that of ringing
the harvest bell morning and evening. The
time varies In different localities. For in
stance. at Driffeld, In Yorkshire. the bell
rings at 5,in the morning. while at VIII
lingham. In cambridgeshire. it rings at T..
and the times. too. vary in the evening.
Authorities differ. as to the origin of the
custom, some antiQuaries holding that the
morning and evening prayers in the Roman
Church were held earlier ana later in har-
vest time, hence the cleaners bell. Others
maintain the use of the bell is that all
cleaners may have q fair start, no one
being allowed In the fields before or after
beil-rfngtng; In tact, that the custom Is
similar to the signal given to the collectors

Nitroeen as Plant Ec.d.

The most valuable and important
OF all plant foods is nitrogen. 1t
costs from Is to 20 cents pound as
used in the commercial fertilizers.
The air we breathe is four-fifths nj
trogen, and so it is one of the most
widely diffused and common, yet ex-
pensive of necessities. How can the
plant secure the needed nitrogen
from the superintendent stock in the
atmosphere? That's the question.
Certain plants-the iegumes-have the
power to work out this problem in
natures chemical laboratory, alb
sorbing the nitrogen from the air
and depositing it in the form of
plant food in the soil. Glover, al
falfa, beans, peas, peanuts all do this
work, hence the necessity of grow
crops in order to maintain the farms
fertility. A clover crop which is cut
for hay and later for seed, will take
from the air and place in the soil for
the benefit Of succeeding crops from
$50 to 800 pounds of nitrogen per
acre, equivalent in value to over $40
per acre at the current price of com
mercial heterogeneous fertilizers. Here
is where it pays to grow clover. One
ton of well cured clover hay is worth
as milk-producing food almost as
much as two tons of equally well
cured timothy hay, and one pound
of clover hay fed work horse Is
worth almost a. much as one pound
Of oats.

We are prompted to speak OF the
ill-advised economy practiced by
many cooperative creameries in Sc
Letting the cheapest man for butter
maker. There is probably no other
business where cheap and incompe-
tent men can lose so much money
for their employers as here. Take
big creamery making ton of but
ter day in June, and allow the prod
uct to be off just enough to sell for
cent under the market, and away
goes twenty dollars into the hole.
The butter-maker, if an expert, is
cheap at 500 per month. for such
a man can save his wages twice over.
Brains cost money, but brains must
go into the cream vat, the starter,
the tester, the churn, and are just
as important as salt. We have known
cases where ten dollars month
saved ca on butter-maker's wages
represented dead loss of 500 each
month he made the butter.

''How many sheep can he kept or
