PRESERVE WEDDING GOWN.
Kept by Many Women as n Memento
of the Most important of
All Events

A woman's wedding gown is seldom
worn except on anniversary occasions
after the day upon which the nuptiaIs
are celebrated. Most woman regard
this garment as especially sacred and
take extraordinary means to preserve
it in all its pristine purity. The we'd
ding gown box is a recent fad for the
well-to-do bride to adopt, and it bids
fair to have quite vogue. That every
bride possessed Of any sentiment
wishes to keep her wedding gown in a
state of preservation is foregone
conclusion, and this elegant receptacle
is admirably suited to the purpose for
which it was designed. 1t is made of
light wood endmeTGd white and having
the brides initials in silver letters on
the outside. a lining Of tufted white
satin is revealed ON opening the box.
and locks Of silver and white leather
straps fasten it. a photograph of the
wedding gown is often taken by the
modiste before sending it home and
making a collection of the photo
graphs of wedding gowns or any other
distinctive costumes is one of the pres
ent fads, the idea being to preserve the
pictures as mementoes for future gen
erations and also as illustra tons of
present-day fashions.

SEEDING GLOVER.

SOwiDg With Grain In the North
west-vaIue OF narrowing.
One of the principal causes of failure
in securing a good catch of clover is
the lack of moisture Immediately after
seeding, says a Minnesota correspond
ent in American Agriculturist. Any
method that will aid in conserving
moisture is of great benefit. The trou-
bic can be remedied to a considerable
extent by narrowing the ground imme-
diately after seeding so that the seed
will be covered with from one-half to
one inch of soil. In light sandy soils
the seed can be covered much deeper,
particularly in dry seasons. Where the
soil is heavy and the season wet half
an inch is sufficient. l am convinced
that clover seed will stand a great deal
of moisture provided it is not covered
too deep. In addition to improper Gov
ering 1 think failure often results from
sowing a small amount of seed. do
not consider fifteen pounds per acre
any too much. Where one good stand
is obtained by using smaller amount
several failures result.
If clover seed is sown with spring
grain, it may be mixed with the grain
seed If both are sown broadcast, but if
a drill is used for the grain SOW the
clover seed by hand or with a grass
seeder after the grain has been put in
Then go over the field with light har-
row. In my experience I have found
that by sowing one bushel of some
early variety Of oats with clover seed,
cutting the oats as soon as the tops be-
gin to turn and allowing the clover to
grow By itself thereafter, is very salts
factory. A better stand of clover can
be obtained in this way than by any
other method. In the far northwest the
best results are obtained by sowing ten
pounds Of medium red clover seed and
five pounds Of mammoth red clover per
acre.

Practical Seed Testing.

The method of testing seeds between
plates and layers of moistened flannel
the whole being kept in a warm place,
is familiar to nearly every one. A. S.
Hitchcock says in Gardening as to the
time required for seeds to terminate:
Some seeds will commence to germi-
nate by the third day. Each day an ex-
animation should be made, and those
seeds which have terminated should
be recorded and removed.
Grass seeds require as much as three
weeks, and seeds of some trees a still
longer time. Beet balls contain from
three to seven seeds. With very small
seed it may be necessary to provide for
the circulation of air by placing small
pieces of wood between the layers of
cloth among the seeds. With most va
rieties Of garden plants the majority
of seeds should terminate within a
few days after the first sprout appears
If the period of termination extends
over a longer time, it shows that the
vitality Of the seed is low. Seeds of the
carrot family and some melon seeds
may not show as high results in the
terminating dishes as they do in the
ground.

power of the plants Of the heterogeneous
class to appropriate the free nitrogen
of the air and store it up in their It's
sues in such a way that it is more or
less readily available to the succeeding
crops. Prominent among plants which
have this property are the clovers,
peas, beans and vetches. These are the
farmers friends, the nitrogen collect
ors. Concerning cover crops and the
orchard, Professor John Craig of Cor
nell university has summarized his in
vestigations as follows:
The orchard is to be viewed in the
light of a specific crop.
Humus is essential to the liberation
of plant food.
Barnyard manure supplies organic
matter, but is often beyond the reach
Of the orchardist.
Probably the ideal system of orchard
management includes clean tillage and
cover crop in the annual programme.
Effects of tillage and of cover crops
are similar in many respects, but while
both tend to make plant food available
the cover crop may actually add to the
store.
The cover crop prevented frost from
penetrating the ground deeper than six
teen inches as compared to twenty -cne
inches on bare ground.
The percentage of water in cover
cropped ground compared favorably
with bare uncultivated ground in Iowa
and New York.
The texture of the soil and subsoil is
much improved by the burrowing hab
it's of the earthworm and the penetrat-
ing character of clover roots.
The cover crop prevents surface
washing and injurious erosion of o.
chard lands.
A comparison of the fertilizing quail
ties of the clovers, cowpea and hairy
vetch placed the last far in the lead,
with alfalfa and mammoth clover sec
Ond and third in manurial value.
Hairy vetch appears to be valuable
leguminous plant for cover crop pur
poses. 1t is hardy, deep roofing, grows
at low temperatures and produces a
dense mat of vegetation on the surface
Of the ground.
Cowpea is particularly valuable for
a system of standardization and as part
of combination crop.
OF the nitrogen consumers rye and
buckwheat are of most Importance.
Oats are favorably spoken of in some
parts of the country.
Certain mixtures are used to advan-
tage. Alfalfa, mammoth clover and
turnips have given satisfaction, but
oats and crimson clover do not sue
coed.
The cowpea is a Japanese bean. 1t is
a tender annual. a rambling. vigorous

with the Northern Pacific at Jocko, a
short distance west of Missoula
When this has been done coal will
be brought from Fernie to Jennings
thence on the main line to Kalispell
and south on the branch to Jocko.
The Northern Pacific will then take
it directly into Butte and thus save
two crossings of the Rocky noun
tains.
The branch line from Jennings to
the international boundary lie has op-
ened up magnificent country that
will receive some attention at the
hands of the homeseekers now flock
ing to the west. The road follows
the Kootenai river to Gateway and
opens up fine agricultural country,
including the famous Tobacco Plains.
But little is known of the mineral
resources of the new district. The
road will leave the Kootenai river
at Phillips ranch, just north of the
boundary, and follow up Elk river to

Bronze Grass Beats Timothy.

Bronze grass and timothy were grown
at the North Dakota station to COM
pare the yields of green grass and to
study their relative value for hay, con-
sidering their yield and chemical COM
position. In five cuttings during the
season bronze grass yielded $685.
pounds of green grass or 1928 pounds
of dry matter per acre and timothy
4,6S1.6 pounds of green forage or
1,422.S pounds Of dry matter. The re-
suits were decidedly in favor of bronze
grass for permanent pasture. Bronze
hay contained about twice as much
protein as timothy and no more fiber
than the average for timothy grown in
different parts of the country. Owing
to it's larger root system, bronze grass
is considered better humus producer
and soil improver than timothy.

POLICE CHIEFS CONVENTION.
Pacific Coast and British Columbia
Chiefs Perfect Organization.

Chief Reynolds of the Butte pO-
lice has returned from a trip of some
weeks duration to the Pacific coast.
He attended the meeting of coast
chiefs in San Francisco and furn-
ished some interesting items concern
ing the department in that CITY.
BY the way, San Francisco is prac-
tically wide open, from an official
point of view. Gambling is carried
on openly and nearly every cigar
store has game, and poker is played
on the first floors all over the city.
The organization of the police
chiefs was perfected, with 35 cities
in the Rocky mountain country, the
Pacific coast, British Columbia and
Canada as members. Chief Whitman
of San Francisco is president and
Chief Reynolds was elected one of
lne directors. The next meeting, a
year hence, will be held in Portland.
THE association has been COM
pleted," said Chief Reynolds this
morning, land there are 35 cities as
members and others are expected to
JOIN. The body will be known as the
Pacific Coast and British Columbia
Police Chiefs convention. 1t will be
separated from the National, but the
president has been instructed to meet
and affiliate with the National, so
that there will be an interchange of
business between the two bodies.
81 was chosen to prepare a paper
for the next convention, and the sub
ject will be the Tracking of Grim
nails" The convention adopted reso-
luton to the effect that the Bertillon
system and Identification bureau be
adopted by every city in the. associa-
ton, and this will be done ultimately.
I'VE had opportunities for inspect
ing the Bertillon system in San
Francisco. l think San Francisco
has one of the best police depart
ments in the world. Chief Whitman
is prince among good fellows, and
he gave us the best of good times.
His department is undoubtedly far
ahead of anything in the country, and
they say it is ahead of most of the
eastern police departments.
The foundation is there and it is

FertiIizinr Tomatoes.

The impression is quite prevalent
that the tomato does not require heavy
manuring. Experiments that have been
conducted at a number Of stations
show that the tomato is plant that
quickly and profitably responds to the
use of manures or fertilizers and that
the maturity and yield are very largely
Influenced by the method of manuring
and fertilizing. Experiments conduct
ed by the New Jersey station have
shown nitrate of soda to be one of the
best heterogeneous fertilizers for this
crop.

Seed Potatoes,

Potatoes that have been kept by
banking with earth should not be dis
turbed in the spring until about the
last of April. They may then be taken
from the bank and may be stored in a
cellar or dark corner of the barn IN
til about one week before planting
time. Then they should be spread upon
the ground where they will be fully ex-
posed to the sunlight This will cause
the buds to make a strong. vigorous
growth, which is not broken off when
the tubers are planted. Permitting the
buds thus to start greatly facilitates
growth after planting. The Cornell On.
W station has found this method of
procedure to work well, much better
than when seed tubers are stored in
cellars OF where they are banked i'm
mediately after digging.

charge against him and paid his fine
of $500 like a man. The fine is not
large, but it is understood that the
court took into consideration the fact
that the law was unsettled when Per-
son was arrested and charged with
breaking it.
When Person and two other de-
PENDANTS, whose cases had been dis
missed, were passing out of the court
room door, the court said, as a warn
ing that the next offense would not
be dealt with so leniently, Gentle
men, you know what the law is now.
Besides Person, two men named
Stanley and Lawson were charged
with breaking the law at the same
time In ter cases Assistant At
torney Yancey asked the court to
dismiss the charge, for the reason
that it had been shown to his salts
faction that Lawson and Stanley had
merely "bucked" at the game and
had not run it.
There are about 20 more gambling
cases for settlement in Judge McCler-
mans court. In all probability many
of the defendants, concluding that
discretion is the better part of valor,
will follow Persons lead and plead
guilty and pay their fines.
County Attorney Breen seems in
the way of coming off victorious in
the crusade he waged against the
knights of the green cloth and the
vari-colored chips.
