THE CLOVER CROP.

In a talk by Prof. Schultz of the Of
tawa Experiment station on Cover
Crops" at recent agricultural meet
ing, he first spoke with "A good deal
of stress on the fact that spraying does
pay, that it is the same as insurance
on the trees. He also showed how
trees may be protected from mice and
sun scald by thin coat of oak veneer
loosely tied to the trunk of the tree.
He explained very carefully the differ
ence between available and unavail-
able plant food and showed how small
the former is in comparison with the
latter. Only very small part OF the
food in any soil can be taken by plants
in any condition. This can be in
creased, however largely by articfiial
appliances. Trees use up to great
extent the vegetable matter in the soil
and use up the humus, as do also
ploughing and narrowing. The best
methods of restoring this is by raising
clover and then turning it down. AS
much as $50 to 175 pounds CT nitrogen
and one and one-half tons of humus
per acre may be restored by this proc
ess. The absorption power of the soil
and the moisture retaining power are
also increased. This is matter
WHICH, Is DeluB uuNH ulSou III Oohau"'
Experiments show that with other
plants a large increase in yield is also
produced by the sewing of the red
clover and then turning it down.
This covIr crop of clover with trees
produce just the moisture conditions
needed for the various seasons for
raising fruit. Prof. Schultz thinks
this method is much preferable to the
sodding process. He thinks agricul-
ture is on better and more business
like basis than ever before and that
the experiment stations have conduced
largely to this condition. He especial
ly urged in closing the Importance to
agriculturalists of keeping in touch

the old man; cit was blown down on
the night of March 3, 1870 This
tee, as its concentri3 circles showed,
was 2S3 years old. No great age, that,
for a tree. There is in England at
Cowthorpe, an oak that is supposed to
be 800 years old. The English yews
often reach an almost incredible age.
The celebrated Ankerwyke yew is
1, 100 years old, and there are Others of
equal age Some of our American
pines can hold their own in respect of
age with the European trees. Oregon
pines, on being cut down, have shown
as many as 1, 100 concentric rings run

you know who first showed us how to
tell trees age by its rings? 1t was

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con.
dition of the mucous services.

SMOKE STACK FELL.

Northfeld, May 2.-The new smoke
stack to be erected at the village cleo
trio light plant was partially raised
Thursday afternoon and at about 5
O'Clock, when within about six inches
of perpendicular, the cable by
which it was being raised suddenly
broke, letting the stack fall with great
force upon the electric light station,
smashing a hole ten feet in diameter
in the roof of the engine room, dam
aging the boiler slightly, and break
ing several joints off the stack itself.
The stack was sixty three feet long
and cost the village 1925.
The cable was carefully examined
before being used and no blame is at.
tached to anyone.
Sargent French was in the boiler
room when the smoke stack fell and
was unframed by the flying timber:
and bricks. The further end of the
stack struck the ground about four
feet from the veranda of the dwelling
occupied by Joseph LeClair and upon
which the spectators were congregat

BODY OF Il WOM1N.

A Hardwick gentleman who went
to Barre Thursday evening on the Cen
trail Vermont train, reported to Chief
of Police Brown of Barre that he saw
woman's body floating in the river
near the Pioneer Mills. Chief of Po-
lice Brown notified Chief Mcmahon of
this city and he went to the locality
mentioned at once and searched until
dark but could discover no trace of a
body, and nothing has been heard con-
corning it since. 1t is highly prob
able that the man was mistaken, be-
cause if the body was floating as he
said it is evident that it must have
been in the water for several days, and
no one has been reported as missing
in this locality or at Barre.
Some boys were fishing just below
the point where the body was said to
have been seen but they saw nothing
of it.

Detroit, Mich, May A day of

Polish excurs ionists from Toledo was
brought to close by frightful cat
astrophe at $3.50 Sunday evening,
in which at least six Of the excursion
lists were killed. A partial list of the
injured gives the number as twenty
two. Two children are missing.
The xcursion was given by the
Polish Lancers of Toledo over the
Lake Shore railroad They left the
train in the morning, going to the
place of entertainment. That even
ing the visitors began to gather again
at the place of debarkation to take
their train back to Toledo. Four
policemen stood at the corner and en-
deavored to keep the excursionists
from orowding through the gates on
to the tracks. Despite their efforts
probably one thousand persons were
scattered along the tracks for two
blocks, waiting to board the excursion
train and secure seats. Suddenly
from out OF the darkness came the
! Grand Trunk Chicago and New York
express, known as the Pan American
flyer. 1t plowed through the mass of
people, throwing them to both sides
of the track brui ed and MANNED, and
grinding lumber of them under the
wheels. No statement could be OBJ
tanned from the engineer or fireman
