A man never makes very much of a
mistake when lie selects a soil for a
farm upon which the clovers grow nat
urally. Poor though the soil may
seem to be, the presence of the clover
gives assurance of large productive
capacity and certain promise that such
land can easily be REINFORCED and en-
riched. We have come to the opinion
that the worst thing which can be said
Of any soil is that it will not grow
clover.

We have two or three complaints
about a failure to secure a stand OF
clover which was sown with nurse
crop last spring. This is not an I'M
common thing. The nurse crop, wrong
ly so called, often smothers the tender
clover plants, or, if it does not entirely
kill them, they are left so weak and
spindly when the crop is removed in
July that the fierce midsummer heat
and drought very soon finish them up.
The surest way to insure a stand Of
clover is to SOW it without any nurse
crop at all. The next best thing is to
sow only one-half as much seed of the
nurse crop as is usually done. Oats
make the worst nurse crop, wheat is
better, barley and fax better yet.
Where it is desired to get stand of
GLOW ~ nurse o")p should be always
a secondary consideration.

Bronze grass and quack grass are
very closely allied in the matter of
taking complete possession of the sol
and being extremely difficult to get rid
of when once well established. The
bronze grass should never be sown on
any field which is included in the reg

the permanent pasture.

If ableboded men in this country find

1t is worth repeating again that the
more a blue grass pasture is tousled
around with a disk and drag in the
early spring the better the pasture will
be. Many such pastures well disked
and dragged in the spring can be made
worth twice as much as a pasture by
such treatment 1t is good idea to
scatter a little medium clover seed
over it just before the last time over
with the drag.

One of the most encouraging things
in an agricultural way to be noted
these days is the fact that the Amer
lean people are fast learning much
about the wonderful productive capac-
ity of a small piece of land when intel
ligently and properly cared for. What
these possibilities are is well illustrat-
ed by the case of ten acre. truck
farmer near Boston, who is said to
take from his land produce worth
$4,000 year, or at the rate of $1,000
per acre. Millions and millions of
acres Of the best land in the world are
located in the west which do not make
a crop return of over SIS per acre, and
other millions which do not do as well
as this.

An old friend told us recently that
when the first steel pillow which would
scour in the muck soils Of. the Illinois
river bottoms was brought into his
neighborhood the man who got it was
so tickled with it that he wanted to
keep it going night and day. When
steel was so tempered that pillow
would keep clean and bright in the rich,
sticky soils of the prairie west it was
one of the greatest of agricultural dis
coveries. Modern methods of farming
would be simply impossible without the
polished steel to work the soil.

We noticed several carloads Of range
steers on their way to market the other
day They came from the far west,
and, what was rather remarkable, they
were aged steers, probably four to six
years old. They were big, rawboned
fellows, with great horns Oh them, just
like the old oxen we used to have, when
a yoke Of them hauled an old iron pillow
which would not scour for us when a

That "other eighty" has quite often
proved poor investment for the west
ern farmer Possessed with an in
ordinate lust for land, no sooner is the
old farm paid for than it is again
mortgaged to buy that eighty. This
works badly in many ways. 1t is
probable that the old homestead fur
nishes all the acres which the owner
can proftably work. Then just so
long as a mortgage hangs over the
farm just so long is kept up a series
of pinching economies to meet the in
terest and pay off the principal, which
not only tell on the productive power
of the farm, but are all too often re-
tiected in all that pertains to living in
the farm home.

Farm land having a selling value OF
500 per acre must be worked in q
better way than land worth only So
per acre if it is to be made profitable.
One trouble is that the land which gets
up to 500 is, because Of bad methods.
not as productive as when it was worth
only $780, The high priced farm can
not be run as a grain farm alone, just
raising and selling the grain from the
farm. This kind of farming may be
done for few years when the country
and the soil are new, but not forty or
fifty years after its occupation. The
question of a proper rotation of crops,
the relation of the grasses and the
clovers to the fertility of the farm, the
keeping and feeding of the domestic
animals to consume the various farm
products, must then have careful con-
sideration. Thirty bushels of corn or
oats to the acre will never work with
500 land.

GENERAL UPRISING FEARED
PEASANT EXCITEMENT IN GER
TAIN RUSSIAN PROVINCES
., SPREADING RAPIDLY.

Moscow, Nov. 23-The excitement
among the peasants in the Central and
Southeastern provinces is spreading
rapidly and it is feared that it will be
impossible to suppress the movement,
which promises to develop into a gen.
eral uprising, bringing devastation and
untold horrors to the whole country.
The revolutionists among the peasants
are industriously spreading the story
that the imperial reform manifesto
really decreed division of the lands,
but that the mobiles, intelligencia and
Jews distorted it and took all the free
dom for themselves and the peasants,
therefore, have the right to possess
themselves Of tie lands which the en-
peror granted them.
The peasant congress will assemble
here shortly. Il is largely under the
domination of men from the villages,
who during residence in the cities have
become imbued with socialistic IDEAS
These men are preaching the expulsion
of the landlords and the division of the
estates and are advocating the refusal
OF the peasants to pay taxes until a
constituent assembly is called. Some
of the radical members Of the zemstvo
congress are in negotiation with lead
ing members Of the peasant congress.
