Timothy and Glover Mixed.

. AlL0Ot0y Auu N1OtOE
In Kansas timothy is usually sown
with clover since the former helps to
hold the latter in an upright position.
The presence Of the timothy also less
ems tho danger from bloating when cat
tie are pastured upon the mixture,
which makes a more evenly balanced
ration than either alone. The usual
practice Is to SOW the timothy In the
fall, often with wheat, by a special at
tachment to the drill, and the follow
ing spring SOW the clover broadcast.
Others SOW the timothy early in the
spring, and afterwards, about the LIST
Of April, the clover. Still others ad-
vocate sowing the clover in the spring
and the timothy in the following fall.
The amount of seed Of the mixture per
acre should be six to eight quarts Of
timothy and eight to ten pounds of
clover. One correspondent recon-
mends about a gallon of the mixture
per acre, Of which one-third Is tim
othy. II sown alone, there should be
used about eight to sixteen quarts per
acre. It ia best to cut for hay when
the flowers are falling. It does not
seem to be used alone or with other
grasses for permanent pastures to any
extent in Kansas. Our correspondents
having timothy and clover mixed do
not mention any injury to the timothy
from grazing. Mr.. Shinn Of Jewell
county, states that he has a field of
timothy four years old which is in
good condition. This shows the pos
sibility of utilizing this grass farther
west than is generally supposed

Emit ON the Farm.

From Farmers Review: Farmers
families should be provided with an
ample supply Of homegrown fruit
every day in the year; and this will
add to the health, happiness and COM
fort Of farm life. With q little thought
full care in planting, %cultivating and
by canning the surplus. this could east
ly be accomplished without interfering
with other farm duties. A good ORCH
ard on . farm not only provides fruit
for home use, but adds materially to
the market value Of the property. We
are not now laboring under the disad-
vantages that confronted the early set
tiers; for nov varieties Of fruit that
do succeed in our locality are known.
OF these we should plant largely.
and when a farmer does not know
what varieties are best to plant on his
farm he should get advice from q
friend who has had experience. as
much depends on planting the right
kinds OF fruit. Few farmers can AZ
ford to convert their farms into horti-
cultural experiment stations. We
should buy trees Of reliable men, and
not patronise strangers Just because,
they are good takers and hypnotists,

Quiet

A dairyman says: Quiet, steady cows
are what all dairymen want. There is
considerable common sense in the fol-
lowing from ]. L. Horsey of New
Hampshire: 1T is very easy" he says,
ito train a heifer. to stand quietly to
be MIXED. But it is easier to train
them to jump, kick and run. The
way to teach them to stand still 10 to
make them always do SC. The way to
teach them the contrary is to give
them a good opportunity for doing 10.
If there is nothing to hinder a wild
heifer from running and she gets
started. she will 90. The best way to
make. gentle cows is to yoke up the
heifers when n year old and break
them the same as you would steers.
Work them a little; it will not iniure
them, II handled carefully. And they
will make gentle cows.

Roo ,rah,ro,.s Of Alf.lfa

The question Of root tubercles ON
leguminous plants is one that has COM
bined with it several other questions.
One Of the most important Of these
questions Is whether or not plants can
draw food from the depths Of the soil.
It has generally been held By tnves-
tieators that the deep roofing legumes
draw their food largely from far below
the surface layers of soil. More recent
ly q good many thinkers on these sub
jects have expressed the belief that
the lower roots do nothing but take up
water and that the food supplies arc
drawn from thu surface soil. Some
experiments with alfalfa last year in,
Italy seem to initiate against this
idea. The result Of these experiments
showed that the alfalfa roots were
abundantly provided with root tu-
bercles the hrst year of cultivation.
Very few we're found on the roots OF
t~wo-year-old plants, and none at all
on three-year-old plants. The expert
mentors infer that the plant makes
use of atmospheric nitrogen only dur
ing its first years growth, or until
the roots have obtained sufficient
length to obtain the necessary nj
trogenous food materials from the
deeper soil,

Sewage Farms in Europe.

The municipality Of Vienna has I'M
der consideration a project for the dis
posal and utilization of the sewage OF
the city which at present is discharged
into the Danube. In England so-called
sewage farms are now quite common
in connection with the smaller cities.
and the plan has been adopted by both
Berlin and Paris, but to all Of the sys-
TENS in use there is more or less objec-
ton, and even with the best Of them
there is much room for improvement
The scheme under consideration in
Vienna consists in the application of
a method developed by Herr Nobel OF
Posen, by which the liquid part Of the
sewage will be utilized for the double
purpose Of irrigation and enrichment.
It is intended to convey the sewage in
pipes to an extensive plain Of poor and

Il have been delighted to hear such good
reports of the encampment. Every one
who came here was certainly deeply i'm
pressed with the hospitality of Washing
ton How the executive committee could
do such large amount of work for so
small sum of money l cannot under
stand. The old soldiers say that there
was never an encampment Like this in the
history Of the Grand Army. All through
my district the kindly expressions were
the same. You can put me down as a
most earnest advocate of everything that
affects the welfare and development of the

Il acted as chairman of the con-
gr6ssional committee on arrangements for

making good any deficit that exists in the

an investment as when it brought the

entertained it in such splendid shape"
