Flowing Under Green Crops

While we advocate blowing under
green crops, when they are not worth
more for stock food than for manure,
we believe that there are some soils
where this practice may do injury
rather than good. If the soil is light
and sandy, lacking nitrogen, or when
1t Is stiff and needs to be made more
porous. then almost any green crop is
good manure for it. Where it Is low
and wet, and perhaps has too much
acid In 1t, heavy crop of clover or
other green manure will usually be an
Injury to the succeeding crop, unless
1t isstsen also a dressing of lime in
some form, and we would prefer to
pay more for good phosphate of line
Or fine ground phosphate rock, with
an addition or potash. than to use
either slaked lime or sulphate of lime.
Yet in a limestone soil we have seen
green manuring work wonders, and so
it will on land recently cleared, where
the bushes and brush had been burned
on the ground. Phosphates, potash and
wood ashes may be put on to grow
the green crop, and If used literally
will benefit that and the succeeding
crops. Sowed OIL the surface and har-
rowed in they do not waste or do any
harm If the amount is much more than
one crop needs.-American Cultivator.

Dipping Sheep.


The shepherd who does not dip at
least once year is way behind the
times, and two dippings scarcely puts
him abreast of them. Long experience
has taught us that twlce-a-year dip
pings bring more comfort to the sheep
and more profit to the owner. Enough
more wool can be clipped at shcaring
time from the twice-dipped sheep,
cheap as wool now is, to more than pay
the total cost; besides. tile great COM
fort and thrift of the sheep and pleas
ure to the shepherd.
An Ohio man has held his clip of
wool for seven years and finally sold
considerable of it far below what he
was offered for it. Such Instances are
numerous enough to illustrate the folly
of holding products from year to year
in hope of securing higher prices for
them. Better take fair price when
offered than to hang on for something
beyond the market or its Immediate
probabilities. The man who held his
wool seven years lost at least % per
cent of the selling price on his longest
held wool in interest alone There is
a big difference between idle wool and
busy money that should not be over
looked when the holding proposition is
under adyisement.-Natio Stock

STEEL RAILROAD TIES.
Far More Commonly Used In Europe Than In
the United States.

Steel ties said a railroad man,
which as to width and length are of
ordinary tie dimensions, are made of
steel about three -eights of an inch
in thickness, pressed into a trough
shape, and are laid with the convex
side up. The rail is secured to the
tie by means of a clip, passing through
hole punched in the tie and fasten-
ing over the fanges of the rail.
steel ties are far more commonly
used in Europe than they are here, this
being especially true as to Italy, France
and Germany, and most particularly so
as to Italy, where many steel ties are
used.
Wood is more costly in Europe than
here and is used with greater economy.
Here we drive the spikes into wooden
railroad ties with more or less danger
of splitting them, and with a conse
quent increased liability to deterior
alton. In Europe they bore first in
which to drive the spikes, and wooden
ties are treated also with some wood
preserving process, as is commonly
done here, also, with telegraph poles,
fence posts and wood in other forms in
similarly exposed situations.
Here while wood is dearer than
it was and ties cost more than they
formerly did, and we are using now
more or les ties of soft wood, where
we never used to think of using any
but hard wood, yet wooden ties are
still less expensive than the steel. And
while more preserving plants are now
being established, still we cannot be
said to have reached yet in this epun-
try the stage of the economical use of
wood.
"And thus the comparatively limi-
ted use of steel ties here-I doubt If
there are laid in this country hun
dred miles of them yet, altogether

Has Commanded the At
tentiOn of Thousands.

Is your blood impure, poisoned, or

eruptions, boils, pimples, blotches, run
ming sores, eczema, or salt rheum. With
such troubles and ailments the blood is
fast carrying disease and death to the
body.
To be clean, sound, vigorous, healthy,
and happy, you must use Paine's Gel
cry Compound before the advent Of the
hot summer days. At this time the
vitalizing and health giving work of
Paine's Celery Compound shows quick
ly upon the blood. which is purified
and made rich with nutriment that
builds up the nerves and tissues.
Remember that "Paine's' is the kind
that cures. At all times refuse the
something just as good offered by some
dealers.
Thousands of sufferers burdened with
pure and poisoned, impure or sluggish
blood, will thank Heaven that their at
tention has been directed to the great

Washington, June 1d.-"our flag lis in the

the decisive utterance of the republicans
of Ohio in their recent state convention.
Ohio is believed to be the first state in
the union to speak so emphatically on this
other platforms and platform makers will
be watched from this time forth with in
,terest. ~g
! Whether extreme positions are wise in
a party platform is always matter of
question. The Indiana convention, with
Beveridge sounding the keynote, most
aggressive imperialist, the plank adopted
is rather mild. 1t reads:
We approve the course of the administration
in establishing peace and civil government III
the Philippines. We oppose those who con.
tinue to resist the authority Of the United
States whether openly in arms in the Philip.
uines, or secretly or openly in the Unitet
States in giving sympathy to the insurgents
We hold to the doctrine that American
sovereignty must be respected within ths
United States and by the territories under it:
jurisdiction. We favor the establishment O.
absolute peace In the Philippines and the
erection of civil government therein; we in
sist that the people of the islands shall bt
given increased participation in the admins
tration of their domestic affairs as they shall
demonstrate Intelligence and capacity fo
self government. ."-
This is a plank upon which John g
spooner could stand; he apparently could
not stand on the Ohio platform. The
President Of the United States is clearly
not ready to declare his belief in the
permanency Of the American flag in the
Philippines. Whether plank which, like
that in Ohio, misrepresents the position
of SO large "a. body of republicans
throughout the country is judicious may
| we'll be doubted, but such is the tide o.
