A STAND OF GRASS.
Varying Soil Conditions Call For a
Clean Cut Study.

Varying Soil Conditions Cell For a
Clean Cut study.
We SOW grass and clover seed upon
wheat in the spring, which necessitates
towing with some of the hand operated
machines or from the hand, says a.
New York correspondent in National
Stockman. We use hand seeder and
the work has been fairly well done.
But when one compares the even stand
OF the drill seeding there is, after all, a
vast difference. Another spring / shall
see to it that the fields are sowed over
each way, using half of the seed at a
time.
Upon fertile land every small space
without clover or only partly covered
means Il prolific growth of weeds. A
fertile soil, like civilization, has its at
tendant evils The thick seeding of all
slow maturing plants and thin seed

ing may be laid down as a safe rule.
have seen just as good hay crop from
ten quarts of seed as from sixteen
quarts where no interference was pres
ent 1t is phenomenal how large a
stool will grow from one seed. l would
not care to risk light seeding, however.
With wheat and oat seeding upon our
soils the contrary seems true. Light,
thin seeding of oats is far safer, par
ticularIy where clover seeding is prac-
ticed Oats are nurse crop for clover
over vast stretch of country and no
doubt will be for long time notwith-
standing they are unsatisfactory eX-
cept when very wet. Oats require about
500 pounds Of water for each pound of
dry matter, and while the thin seeding
will draw heavily upon moisture dur
ing the ripening days the clover will
have gained strong foothold in the
early growth of the plant.
Broadcast Sowing.
The oat plant does not grow rapidly
al once after coming up, but if sown
thickly the ground will be covered, re-
tarding clover growth. Broadcast oat
seeding either by machine or hand is
very unsatisfactory. All things consid-
cred, no method or machine for com
bined seeding compares to disk drill.
Another point: An endless waste Of
clover seed takes place each year by
sowing upon soil not garden fitted. A
rich soil is not alone qualification for
a sure catch Of clover. Soil texture is
absolutely necessary. would prefer
to throw piece of land out of the reg
ular rotation than to seed before this
condition has taken place, and, what is
more, soils full of root growth like our
own cannot be made suitable in mo-
ment, no matter how much labor is Of
fered. Decomposition must take place
and chemical action go on. The more
labor employed the quicker this action
will follow 1 speak from the view
point of a dairy farm not deficient in
vegetable matter. Upon soils where
successive crop growing is followed the
principle would not apply. Then it is
question of getting more humus and
plant food into the soil. These varying
conditions of soils call for a clean cut
home study of our own farms.

Wear Paper Slippers.

A queer improvement is being intro.
duced in hotels. and If 1t succeeds
with those that are trying 1t now. it
is hoped that finally it will become
universal. II is to furnish every guest
on his arrival with slippers.
These slippers are made Of paper.
The soles are of p~asteboard, and the
rest is made of white or brown paper,
stitched with heavy cotton to prevent
tearing. There are various qualities.
The most expensive is made of an ex.
ira good quality of white paper. The
cheapest Is made Of common brown
straw paper.
These paper slippers r sc cheap
that new ones can be furnished to each
guest. An attempt is being made also
to introduce them in hospitals and
public institutions, as they would add
much to cleanliness and form another
preventive Of contagion, since each
pair could be thrown away or de-
stroyed as soon as the wearer had done
with them-Chicago Tribune.

How General Won Moitke Redeemed

fully, at the cost Of much sacrifice,
filing the little brown pitcher that
Karlchen might go to college. Then
General Won Moltke and his staff came
riding by and levied on the little farm
:or the feeding Of the troops.
In the meantime Won Moltke, at the
head Of his staff. had approached.
Turning to Karl, he said: well, my
BOY, dost thou go to college?"
"Alas, moi" replied Karl. Il was to
have gone in the harvest month, but
now what shall I do? Your soldiers
take the cattle and what has been
saved for me must go to buy more"

lad?"
Eyes, but-how long have I wanted
20 go!"
Thou shalt go, my boy" Then,
Ealing to one Of his officers: Lieut..
Won Hohenwald, make a list Of what
is taken here, and the value Of each
thing, and when the war is over, you,
ooy, or your mother, must present this
to the kronprinz In Berlin and receive
full payment.
Poor Karl said nothing. All hope Of
college had flown; for who could be-
lieve that the great kronprinz would
be bothered with the troubles and
losses Of the farmers who had been
robbed by his soldiers?
Karls mother took the paper, fold
ID it and sorrowfully dropped 1t in
the little brown pitcher.
Six weeks went by; the little brown
pitcher was empty now, save for o
Hohenwald's forgotten receipt; but
news had come that the Austrians had
been severely defeated at sadowa and
peace had been declared! And one
glorious day came a letter signed
General Won Moltke, per Won Hohen-
wald," asking why the claim of Frau
Lisbeth Gronig had not been presented
to the kronprinz, and saying that If
presented in two weeks 1t would be
paid Immediately.
Frau Gronig fastened to Berlin: the
was presented, and, when she re-
the little brown pitcher was
again heavy, for she had received a
liberal price for everything.
And Kari went to college in the har-
rest month.

Disease Germs on Vegetables.

Vegetables collected from the mar

sands of germs they have been rinsed
lightly in water, and the number of
germs has been decreased only FROM
forty to fifty per eene Then they
were washed pretty thoroughly, as
the ordinary housewife Mssaldedo it,
and they still contained fully twenty
to forty per cent. of the germs. Finally
they were exposed to the running
water from a faucet where the pressure
was strong enough to force the water
violently between the leaves. This
method proved so effectual. especially
when the hands were used to scrape
parts Of the leaves that were curled
over, that only faint traces Of germs
were found left. This demonstrated, in
other words, that it is possible for the
careful housewife to cleanse her raw
vegetable so that there need be no
actual danger from eating them. They
need to be washed in at least two
waters, then exposed to the force Of the
running water. In the case of toma-
