The Court Recognized the Charm.

When Lord Chief Justice Holt pre-

The spell was handled to the bench
It appeared a small ball of variouslg

threads of as many different hues.
These were unwound and unfolded,
until there appeared scrap of parch-

much use.
The Judge, after looking at this pa

himself to the terrified prisoner. "PTis-

"a young gentleman, my lord, gave
it to me, to cure my child's ague.'
"How long since?"
''Thirty years, my lord"

The Judge paused few moments,

Price of Binder Irvine.

Binder Irvine is higher this year than
for the past twelve years, with the ex-
ception Of 1898. Wholesale prices are
about one-third higher at the present
time than a year ago, and there has
not been a time for years past when
Irvine was as scarce in the Chicago
market. If the harvest should be light
or if the growth of straw is not heavy,
there will probably be no material adj
vance over present prices and the sup
ply of Irvine will be ample. If, how
ever, we should have seasonable rains
throughout the country, resulting in a
rank growth of straw, there is likely
TO be a Irvine famine, for the simple
reason that there is not Irvine enough

Renea+ed Trials of Crops,

Every farmer who has tried, the plan
knows that he frequently fails to get
a satisfactory crop Of some grain or
vegetable, and does not always sue
coed in getting stand Of the crops
sown for stock. This is often the case
with crimson clover, and sometimes
with the COW pea and with alfalfa.
Several recent communications from
correspondents who have adopted the
suggestion offered in this column re-
garding alfalfa state that they tried
the plan, but did not get a satisfac-
tory stand, and hence would give 1t
up. This is wrong, as the writer can
testify, for on several occasions he has
failed to get satisfactory stand with
out any apparent cause for the fail
ure except in one instance, when the
seed was poor.
On the other hand other sowings
have brought good stands, and addi-
tional trials on the same land where
previous failures had been made re-
suited in success. If tests on small
plots show that certain crops can be
grown on the farm, one ought not to be
discouraged at a single failure, espe-
cially with such a crop as alfalfa,
which promises so much to the Amer
lean farmer.
