GROWING CLOVER.

The growing of clover has so impor-
tant place in dairy husbandry that we
reproduce the following in this de-
partment from A. M. TenEyck in Kan
sas Farmer:
1T is usual to SOW about ten to fif-
teen pounds of common red clover per
acre, while five to eight pounds OF the
alsike clover per acre is sufficient.
Clover should be sown searly in
the spring on a well-prepared seed
bed. The ground should be mellow
at the surface but not loosened 100
deeply; rather, the subsurface should
be firm (not hard). A good seed-bed
for clover may be prepared by disk
ing and narrowing corn-stubble, or on
early fall-plowed ground. AS rule,
it is not best to spring pillow land for
seeding clover, alfalfa, or any grass
seed. Ground freshly piowed is apt
to be too loose and mellow, and in
case the weather remains dry the
seed will start poorly and the young
plants may be destroyed by drouth.
Glover may be sown broadcast and
narrowed in. The seed-bed should be
fully prepared before seeding and one
narrowing after the seeding is sufi-
cient to cover the seed. 1t may be
safer in the average season to put the
clover in with the drill. 1t will pc
necessary to have a grass-seeder at
tachme1lt on the ordinary grain-drill
in order to SOW clover. An attach
ment in which the tubes from the
grass seeder box join the spouts from
the grain-box in order mat the seed
may be sown in the drill burrows is
one of the best kind of implements
to use for seeding clover.
Usually at this station we nave
had coed success in sowing broadcast
and this is the simplest method of
seeding. The clover may be seeded
clover has made some start it is able
to Withstand considerable drouth and
adverse weather conditions.
AT this station we have the best
success in getting stand of clover in
seeding alone without nurse CROP.
In favorable season, however, it is
possible to get stand of clover by
seeding with some early spring grain

clover was seeded in the wheat early

Magic in the zun, Tribe.

"The most startling feat ever

States for his own edification. was
performed by the priests Of the Zuni
tribe in Arizona, or, as they were call

seat themselves in circle on the clay
door, around jar that will hold per-
haps a gallon, an ancient and sacred
earthen vessel. which is filled with
water. The chief priest carries In his
hand two ordinary eagle feathers,
which are tied together at the quill
ends so that they make a fork. Be-
hind the circle of the priests are other
members Of the tribe anG the musi-
clans with their drums and gourds,
who join in the chants with emotion.
The incantations continue for sew
eral hours and when the participants
and spectators are brought up to a
proper pitch of excitement the priest
dips the feather tips into the water,
lifts the jar with them and holds 1t
suspended for a minute or two at q
height level with his face or breast.
Then he lowers it slowly to the ground.
This feat is repeated several times
during the performance. Apparently

priest but the feathers and they ap-

Bravery In Battle.

All the world is talking about and
wondering over the bravery Of the Jap
anese soldiers as shown by their reck-
less daring in the war with Russia.
There is much praise also for the brave
Russian soldiers, and both Japs and
Russians deserve all the good words
they get.
But the notion that the little brown
men of Chrysanthemum land or the
stolid peasant soldiers Of the Gar ];
empire have more nerve and stamina,
that they are showing greater heroism,
more Indifference to death than those
fighting men from further west a
capable Of showing, is mistake. Who
is there who knows about the wild
charge of Pickett and his men at
Gettysburg can doubt that American
soldiers have before now gone to their
death with all the nerve, the abandon,
the recklessness that have character
lied the charges made by the Japs at
Port Arthur and Liao-Yang.
There was another charge at Get
tysburg in which the superb courage
of which the American soldier is capa-
BILE was magnifcently developed. This
charge is almost forgotten because it
was made on the same day as Pick
ett's, and was not quite so spectacular.
1t was led by General Elon B. Farms

of Round Top, and was ordered by
General Fitzpatrick. 1t is only the
truth of history that Farnsworth hest

self. The only object of the charge,
undeniably hopeless on the face of the
situation, was to draw the enemy's fire,
and Farnsworth baked. Looking at
his splendid troops he answered when
directed to advance:
They are too good men to kill, Gen
eral Fitzpatrick"
II will lead the charge if yor are

instantly Farnsporth gave the orders
to forward and charge.

Gen. sherman's Blunder.


Everett p. Wheeler, a New York law
yer-and some Of those fellows are
very subtle-informed the universal
congress Of lawyers at st. Louis that
Sherman's march to the sea, during
which much private property was de-
stroyed, helped ''the Confederate cause
and delayed the final result" The
statement was challenged, but the re-
port does not show that Mr.. Wheeler
replied and cleared up the mystery,
says the Washington Star.
John Allen of Mississippi once told
the House of Representatives in a hui
morous speech about the retreat of a
Confederate command Of which he
was a member. The federals had been
pressing them very hard all day, AMI
it looked as if in the end they might
be rounded up. Late in the afternoon
they began some lively rear-guard fir
ing. and one of Aliens comrades said
to him impatiently: Il wish to heaven
they'd stop that! 1t only makes them
Yankees the madden"
We find in this little story probably
the essence Of Mr.. Wheeler's reason
ing. The destruction that necessarily
attended the advance of so large a
force into the enemy's country simply
made the Confederates the sslnadder."
1t fired them with fresh resistance. If
General Sherman instead of putting
his conquering battalions on the move
had addressed his opponents polite
letter from Atlanta, giving the number
Of his troops and the details Of his dis
positions, and thus have demonstrated
to the Confederates that he could
march to the sea and would if they
didn't ground arms at once, the war
would have ended months before it
did. The Confederates would have
quit simply to save their smokehouses
and chicken roosts.
1t SHOULD surprise no one that at this
meeting the glass roof gave way and
the broken panes came tumbling down.

should not have been hurting stones.

HANDLING COARSE FoDD..s.

HANDLING COARSE FODDA.i.
Each and every farmer should have
a good feed cutter for $40 filing and
for chatting feed. By running all corn
stalks through the machine, they give
better returns when fed, and the
coarser portions left uneaten are in
good form for bedding and the manure
heap. Long corn stalks are a nui-
sance in the feeding manger, worth
less for bedding, and troublesome in
the manure pile. Difficulty is found
in few cases in feeding cut corn
stalks as the COWS refuse to eat them.
In many cases the sharp ends of the
cornstalks, when cut certain lengths,
injure the mouth of the COWS. Where
they are not we'll eaten the cause is
often due to overlooking, or endeav-
oring to have the cow live on too limit
ed a variety of foods. BY keeping
the hangers c.ean and feeding .-e
cut fodder with care, very little will
be left over, and that only the coars-
est part. Where different varieties of
corn are raised more of the cut stalks
are eaten than if fed uncut under the
same conditions. Less waste is
found in feeding cut fodder as the
animals eat the butts readily, but re-
Ject them when fed without being cut.
All stock relish it when they become
used to it, as well as hay or other
chopped foods.-Otto Irwin in the Ep-
