Queens Taste in Dress.

The beneficial influence upon dress
so quietly but powerfully exercised by
Queen Alexandra when she was Prin-
cess of Wales has been marked in
England ever since she set foot upon
those shores. She was never known
to countenance exaggeration in any
form. Balloon sleeves and huge bus
ties she forbade. But she has taught
women the art of looking young and
of dressing becomingly-two qualifica-
tions toward a lovely appearance that
are indissolubly mingled one with the
other.~

ChicnGO Grand Jury Brings nm In
dict'nent Against n Michigan Man.
Chicago, Feb. 23.-An indictment was
yesterday voted by the grand jury
against one Salisbury alias William
Wood, charging him with the larceny
Of $4,000. The evidence upon which
the Indictment was voted was given
the grand jury by Guy c. Barton Of
Omaha, said to be one of the wealthiest
residents Of that city; X. C. Barton,
son of Guy c. Barton, and c. z. Loss,
of the contracting firm of G. E. Loss &
Co. of Chicago. After the Indictment
was found papers were prepared to Sc
cure the extradition of Salisbury from
the State Of Michigan, he now being,
it is said, in that state. The evidence
in the case is being kept secret. 1t is
said unoflicially that the alleged lar
ceny is the outcome Of a railway con-
struction contract involving $4,000 600.
1t is said that Barton and his son
came to Chicago, bringing $4,000 as
earnest money in the deal. The amount
was in currency, and was deposited in
a safety deposit vault. 1t is said that
the only witnesses Of the act of placing
the money in the vault were the three
men who testified in the case and
Salisbury, alias Wood. Four days
later Mr.. Barton went to the vault and
found that the money had been taken
away.

Fertilizers for Grain.

In the experiments of the Central
Station at Wooster, Ohio, where wheat
has been grown in rotation with corn,
oats, clover and timothy, the average
increase per acre from plain acid phos-
phate, applied at the rate OF 160 pounds
per acre to wheat and 80 pounds per
acre to corn and oats, or total OF 800
pounds during the five years of a ro-
tation, has been 4.6 bushels of wheat,
3.6 bushels of corn, 7.2 bushels of cats
and 500 pounds of hay, while from the
same quantity of acid phosphate, car
ried partly in acid phosphate and
partly in tankage, but REINFORCED by
the nitrogen carried in the tankage
and by small addition of muriate of
potash, the average increase has been
7.2 bushels of wheat, s bushels of corn,
8 bushels of oats and 1900 pounds OF
hay.
The cost Of the acid phosphate used
on an acre in five years has been about
$2.40, while that of the mixture of acid
phosphate, tankage and muriate of
potash, has been about $3.75; but the
average increase from this mixture has
been so much greater than that from
acid phosphate alone as to give to-
tai net profit, over the cost of the fer
tilizer, of about s12 per acre in five
years for the mixed fertilizer against
about Sc for the acid phosphate used
alone.

Quality of Red Clover Seed.

The quality of a sample of clover
seed depends upon it's cleanness, the
percentage of germinable seed, the
vigor of termination, and the origin
of the seed. The cleanness of a sam
pie depends both upon its freedom
from broken seeds, dirt, and other in
ert matter and upon the absence of
weed seeds and the seeds of other cul-
tivated plants. The seeds of timothy,
white, and alsike clover are often
present, and although they must be
considered impurities, they can not be
called Injurious. Timothy may some
times be present in such quantity as
to be Objectionable, not from the ma
ture of the plant, but because the seed
can be purchased at a much less cost
than clover seed, and farmer does
not want to pay for clover when he
gets timothy. More serious is the
presence of considerable quantity of
weed seeds, especially if among the lot
are the seeds OF some of the more dan
gerous weeds.
In some localities low grades of
clover seed are demanded because the
clover is to be used as green manure,
ana it is thought that the weeds will
furnish green material for plowing I'M
der and can thus Go no harm. This is
true to certain extent but the weeds
fall far short of the clover as green
manure, and the value OF the sod will
be reduced in proportion to the abun-
| dance of weeds.

Alfalfa ant, Glover.

t
There has been so much said and
written about alfalfa that it has be-
come popular outside Of the regions in
which conditions are suitable for it's
growth. This has led to good many
farmers experimenting with it in
states where red clover grows abund-
antly and where there is no pressing
need for the growing of alfalfa. When
ever asked about the matter the ad-
vice Of the Farmers Review has been
for the farmers to be satisfied with
red clover in the states in which it
can be grown successfully.
For Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan and the neighboring states
there is no necessity for the growing
OF alfalfa and in most parts of them
the plant would most likely prove a
failure if tried. There are a good
many reasons why we should stick to
red clover. The first reason is that it
can enter into the rotation with the
other crops. Its roofing is not so deep
that 1t cannot be disturbed, and it does
not take years to get it we'll rooted.
With alfalfa the case is different. 1t
is regarded as a permanent crop and
grows better after having been per-
mltted to take few years in estab-
nshlng Its root system. The great
difficulty in getting catch of alfalfa
Is during the years when its roots are
small and its growth comparatively
feeble. But after it has reached down
into the regions of eternal moisture,
IL, Is or 20 feet below the surface, it
Will grow on forever. 1t is said that
IN Chile there are fields of alfalfa
that have not been disturbed for 200
years and yet annually yield good
crops. This will readily show how
little 1t is fitted for the rotation.
Without the abundant sunshine to
which it Is accustomed it is difficult to
cure alfalfa, and this is very serious
matter in a country of clouds and fire.
quent rains. We note another thing in
regard to alfalfa grown out of its nat
ural habitat. It is smaller and does
not yield the heavy crop that is cred
ited to it. The writer has in mind
IN particular crop that was grown
lew years ago at the Michigan Ex-
pertinent station. We doubt if in that
case, under the best of conditions, the
crop was as large as would have been
realized from red clover.

Minneapolis. Feb. %. Frank n.
Hamilton has been adjudged respon-
sible for the death OF Leonard r. Day.
the Jury in his case having rendered
verdict Of manslaughter in the first
degree.
,5 The jury arrived at a verdict early
yesterday forenoon, and in less than
fifteen minutes that finding was given
to the world. A Recommendation to
the mercy Of the court accompanies
the verdict Hamilton sat at the at
torney's table when the verdict was
read by the clerk, his face pale and
drawn.
The formal notice of a motion for a
new trial followed the poll of the jury,
and through the brief moments before
court was adjourned Hamilton sat by
his attorneys side, stunned and mos
Aionless. The severe mental torture
through which he was passing was
evidenced only in the paleness of his
countenance and the nervous working
of the muscles of the jaws as he strug-
gled, bravely to keep from breaking
down. The verdict fell upon him with
nothing but an absolute acquittal has
at any time entered into his calcula-
tons. When he returned to the Jail
office and there met Capt. Alexander,
he said: =
Captain, have been convicted, but
did not deserve it. God knows did
not deserve it,
That the man was practically dunn
founded by the action of the jury was
evident from his request to the Jail
authorities that none of his friends,
not even his closest personal friends,
be permitted to see him, at least for
the day.
Miss Johansen, the young woman
who, in response to telegram sent
by Hamilton few hours after the
homicide. hurried on to Minneapolis
that she might give him succor and
encouragement in his great trouble,
was the only person beside his counsel
admitted to see the disconsolate man.
The penalty under the law for the
crime of which Hamilton was con-
victed is imprisonment for not more
than twenty or less than five years.
The verdict is strongly unpopular,
not only in Minneapolis or in the Twin
Cities, but through out the state and
the entire Northwest as well. SYM
pathy for Hamilton has developed to a
marked degree, particularly during the
latter stages of the trial, and it was
hard to find any person who did not
want to see him acquitted.
