When you seed an acre of land to
clover and let it remain two years you
add 100 pounds of nitrogen to the soil.
If you had to buy this nitrogen 1t
would cost you SIS. Thus your clover
is worth $3.50 year just as fer
tiliZer alone.

A short sermon with the silo for a
text follows: A progressive dairyman
In Minnesota built silo FIVE years ago
and was rated as half daft by his old
fashioned neighbors. He filed his silo
and fed his cows and was thus able to
so far distance these scoffing neighbors
of his in the returns which he received
from the creamery, which they all pat
ronized, that he can now count ten silos
on the ten farms adjoining his. 1t has
come to this that where land is worth
$50 to 500 per acre, where corn will
grow and stock Is kept, the silo is just
as absolutely indispensable in the eco
nomical administration of the farm as
the main spring Is to a watch.

Stringer Swallowed him, determined
to arrest him the moment he set foot

from him for a time Saturday, but Mr..
Stringer watched all departing boats
and trains, and was finally rewarded
Saturday night by seeing his man
step on board the Canadian Pacific
train, bound for Seattle

would start at once for the Atlantic
coast, and Mr.. Stringer was prepared
TO go on with him and arrest him as
soon as he entered the United States.

POmeroy.- Rev. William Amsch

influential Catholic priest ever sta

cessful ministry of four years at this
place to revisit his Old home in the
Swiss Alps.
Rev. AmschWand' work here has
been productive of the most noticeable
results. Under his care the Catholic
membership has almost doubled in
numbers, until now it is the strongest
denomination in the county (Garfiald),
both numerically and financially. The
Catholic school has. under his man
agement, become a permanent instltu-
ton, with an attendance of fifty the
last semester. All the church proper
" presents a fine appearance, the
buildings having been largely re-
modelled and improved, while the
grounds are we'll kept

ments in this line are directly attrib-

The departing priest who is an
enthusiastic believer in American
methods, will visit points of interest
in this country before sailing, and es~
pecially will make a study of the
workings of the various government
bureaus at Washington for the pur-
pose Of securing data for a series Of
lectures on American institutions he

Protestant denominations.
