c1over and Corn Tor stoc,x.

If one could raise good crops every
year of clover and corn, there would
be little difficulty in providing stock
with suitable food, says a Michigan
farmer. Glover l regard as double
ration, taking the place really of hay
and grain. 1t is possible to winter
horses and stock on clover without pro-
ducing any i'll effects or reducing them
much in weight and strength. This l
would not advocate except as an exper-
iment or in an emergency. What our
stock needs is variety, and while clover
might supply both hay and grain con-
stituents there would be the possibility
of inducing sickness and poor appetite
from the lack of variety. Glover, of
course, produces a direct beneficial eff
feet upon the soil and adds to it more
than the corn takes away. Persistent
cultivation of corn on any field must in
time reduce the soil fertility to such a
low point that succeeding crops will
suffer. With clover as a part of a ro-
tation there would be little chance of
such soil degeneration.

Grade Mnfhera

1t seems to be principle in breeding
that when two animals of different
breeds are mated, the influence of the
one which is the nearest pure bred, if
both are in equal vigor and strength,
will be the most potent in it's effects
upon the offspring. If one is weak or
in poor condition, the other may attain
the ascendency, as surely will be the
case with the one that is of pure bred
and the other only a grade. When
both are equal in breeding and health.
it is unsafe to predict which parent the
offspring will most resemble, as it may
vary according to their condition at the
time of mating. This will explain why
many who have begun to grade up
their herds by the use of pure bred
male have succeeded better than those
who have tried to effect cross be-
tween two good breeds. And this is
true of poultry as of animals

The Pea Lousa.

We hear of some who say they will
not try to grow green peas this year.
because they lost their crop last year
by the aphis or plant lice on the vines.
We would not cease to plant them for
two reasons. If the insects came on SO
abundantly as to threaten destruction
of the crop, we would plow them in,
which would destroy every insect, and
the green crop would be good fertiliz-
er on which to grow some other late
crop, as winter beets or cabbages, or
to set tomatoes, or to SOW spinach or
kale for next spring. But more than
that these plaques of plant lice are sell
dom troublesome more than two. or
three years in succession, often disap-
pearing as suddenly as they came.
while If no peas are to be found they
can as well live on the clover as on
peas If there are peas they prefer
them to clover, and they are destroyed
with the peas.-Exchange

are usually decorated with different
colored flaps to futter in the wind.
Some kites have the form of a cross,
others of a bird, others are in the shape

First Railroad Accident on Recor i.
The first railroad accident that ever
happened was all due to the fact that
the men who built the railroad track
overlooked a very important point in
the matter of engineering In 1929
George Stephenson, of Newcastle, Eng
land, completed the first successful
locomotive Mr.. Stephenson had been
trying to achieve that end for a long
time. When his invention had practi-
I.
rangements to give a public exhibition
of his wonderful machine. A track was
built, extending in a straight line for
some distance, and then bending
around in a great curve and coming
back to the place of starting. Large
crowds of people focked to the scene
to witness the test.
But in building the track the work
men forgot one important fact, which
seems simple enough to us of to-day.
They neglected to raise the outside rail
higher than the inside rail. Stephen
sons engine sputtered and trembled,
and then started at a merry pace down
the straight track. The people cheered
and waved their hats The engine
struck the curve, left the rails and
dashed across the field, coming to a
standstili at last. Stephenson and his
men were puzzled. Finally some one
discovered why it had happened. The
outside rail was raised slightly and the
second attempt was more successful.
You can see now in the curve of any
railroad track that the outer rail is
higher than the inner rail, and l think
any boy or girl can tell why it is nee
essary that this should be so
George Stephenson left great inven-
tion to the world, and yet when he was
IS years old he was unable to read. At
that age he began attendance at night
school and learned with great rapidity.
The locomotive that he completed was
named the Rocket" and was able to
run at a speed Of twenty nine miles
an hour, which was considered marvel
GUS at a time when horses were used
almost exclusively in travelling

LIGHTNING RoAsTS FOWL.
Bolt from the Heavens Quickly
Cooks a Hen While She Sits ON
Her Nest.

The freaks of lightning that have
been observed and recorded are almost
beyond computation, but a recent one
where setting hen was in fraction
of second thoroughly cooked is en-
titled to a place in the catalogue of
wonderful things done by the bolts,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
The farm of Cyrus Barnhart. near
Greensburg, Pa, was chosen for the.
demonstration. Cyrus has tree and a
hen. AT the foot of the tree she made
nest and laid eggs in it. Then she set
about Matching them.
A thunderstorm came up. The tree
was struck by lightning and -demol-
ished. The eggs were broken. The
hens maternal designs were vetoed.
The hen was cooked thoroughly. in
stantly. One second she sat contem-
plative on her dozen of eggs. The
next, before the fash had died away.
she was roast chicken. Not a feather
was disturbed, but the flesh was IS well
cooked as if it had passed an hour in a.
hot oven or kettle
Practical persons in the neighbour
hood sent this first example of light
ming cookery to the Carnegie institute
at Pittsburg.
