HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
DEMOCRATS DISPENSE AFTER THE
STATE CONVENTION.
Some Interest in the Remaining Con-
EressionaI Conventions-yisit-
Ors at the Hotels.

The Democratic leaders who came to
town to attend the state convention have
gone and their rooms at the Grand Hotel
have been given up to other patronage. The
state committee, which had its headquar-
tiers at the Grand for d day or two. moved
back to its old quarters in the Lombard
building. A good many of the leaders went
to Nashville yesterday to attend the Fourth
district congressional convention. Among
them was Chirman O'Brien, of the state
committee. 1t was announced yesterday
that the committee will meet again one day
next week, perhaps Thursday or Friday.
At this meeting it is expected that plans
for the approaching campaign will be dis
cussed.
Secretary Riley said yesterday that he
thought the sentiment of the Democracy
favors a late opening of the campaign. He
thought IL might be decided TO not begin
active work before the LIST of October. Most
of the Democratic congressional conven-
tions have been held The Eleventh dis
trict convention will be held on June II. at
Peru. The conventions in the First. Sixth
and Seventh districts have not been held
and no time has been selected, IL is an
nounced. The Eighth district convention
will be held at Anderson on June Is. An
effort is being made to have Hugh Dough
erty, of Button, make the race against
Representative Cromer, but he has not yet
consented 10 run. There is no wild rush
on the part of Democrats TO secure the
nominations in the Republican districts. In
the Ninth district, which is heavily Repub-
hcan, the Democracy has secured a candi-
date in the person of Judge Kirkpatrick of
Kokomo although he has not yet been
nominated. The Republicans have held
their congressional conventions in most of
the districts. They have not held conven-
tions in the Second. Third and Fourth dis
tricts, which are heavily Democratic.

Kentucky Zinc Mines.

1t is announced that d. c. Griffith. of this
city, has succeeded in interesting Paducah,
KY. capitalists in a zinc mine which he is
operating near Lola, Crittenden county.
1t is said that Mr.. Griffith has struck a
twelve-inch vein of zinc which assays 40
per cent. The best zinc ever mined is said
to have assayed only 81 per cent. Mr..
Griffith has options on 5000 acres of land
in Livingston and Crittenden counties. II
was discovered that there was rich ore in
this locality in an unusual way. II is said
that boy and dog and a rabbit are re-
sponsibe. The boy is a son of a neighbor-
ing farmer. While out with his dog one
day the animal chased a rabbit into a hole.
Trying TO get the rabbit out the boy raked
out some sort of substance that he cid
not recognize. When il examined il
was found TO contain pronounced evidences
of zinc. Mr.. Griffith is a member of the
firm of Griffith Bros, wholesale milliners.

power of the plants of the heterogeneous
class to appropriate the free nitrogen
of the air and store 1t up In their It's
sues In such a way that 1t Is more or
less readily available to the succeeding
crops. Prominent among plants which
have this property are the cloyers,
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 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
a 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-one
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 subsol Is
much improved by the burrowing hab-
Its of the earthworm and the penetrat-
ing character of clover roots.
The cover crop prevents surface
washing and injurious erosion of or
chard lands.
A comparison of the fertillzing 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 a 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 fayorably spoken of in some
parts of the country.
Certain mixtures are used to adyan-
tage. Alfalfa, mammoth clover and
turnips have given satisfaction, but
oats and crimson clover do not sue
coed.
The cowpea is japanese bean. 1t Is
tender annual, a rambling vigorous

Watering House Plants.

House plants need a great deal more
water as the days grow longer and warm
er than in midwinter. There is not much
danger in overwatering if you have good
loo>e soil and proper drainage and the
plants are growing fast or blooming, but
if the soil is hard and the plants are dor
mant or not in full growth, care should be
taken not to apply too much water.
Over watering does untold harm. Ii,
causes sour soil and finally yellow and
falling leaves. A safe rule for the anna
teur florist to follow is to water when the
surface looks dry. Water about the tenn
peraiure OF the room should be Used in
winter and spring.
Umbrella plants. callas, oxalls, vnca
oleanders and others require plenty of
water. The best way to water them is 10
set the pots in shallow pans of tepid water
and let stand until the top of the soil
looks quite moist Cac,i. begonias and
ivy geraniums require but little water
If too much water is given the begonia it
will wilt as though it needed water; when
in this condition, if more water is applied
it is liable to kill the plant.

Forage Crops.

Hon. r. w Ellis Of Embden. writing
to Hoard's Dairyman says; while con-
Quoting series OF experiments this win
ter, for our commissioner OF agriculture,
to determine the relative value OF the dil-
ferent forage crops grown in this state for
the production OF milk. find to my utter
establishment that the different folders
when fed separately, will produce consid-
erably more than when combined For
instance, I6 lbs. Hungarian or 10 lbs. oat
and pea hay or IS lbs. ensilage will pre-
duce per cent more milk than 43 los
ensilage, 4 of Hungarian and 3 of oat
and pea hay combined. Have you known
similar results before, and how do you
account for III have been through the
tests twice, SO as to be sure it was not the
result of accident, with similar results
each time. | suppose your time is too
much employed to notice this but you can
read it and throw it in the waste basket
and it will be all right AS a note to
the above, the editor, ex-Gov. Hoard of
Wisconsin adds: THE above is from
one OF the most thorough and intelligent
dairy farmers in Maine. 1t is worth COL
sidering."
