CLOVER ENRlCHES A SOIL.
When P1owed Under Green, It Is an
Excellent Fertilizer.

When PlOwed Under Green, 1t Is an
Excellent Fertilizer.
A bulletin from the central expert
ment farm, Ottawa, Ont, contains a
discussion of the profitableness Of
growing and turning of clover crops.
Extensive experiments in this line
have been carried on at that farm for
period of over eight years, and the
results gathered therefrom contain
considerable amount of practical in
formation and data. The advantages
derived from blowing under clover are
briefly stated by the station as fol-
lows:
1. There is an enrichment Of the soil
by the addition of nitrogen obtained
from the atmosphere.
2. There is an increase in the store
Of available mineral plant food, phos-
phoric acid, potash and lime in the
surface Of the soil taken by the clover
in part from depths not reached by
the shallower root systems of other
farm crops.
3. There is a large addition Of
humus, whereby the soil is made more
retentive Of moisture, warmer and
better aerated, conditions favorable to
vigorous crop growth. Humus also
furnishes the material best adapted
for the development of these forms Of
germ life that act so benefcially in the
: soil.
4. AS an agent for deepening and
mellowing soils no crop gives such sat-
isfactory results as clover.
5. Clover serves useful purpose as
a catch crop during the autumn
months, when the ground would be
otherwise bare, retaining fertilizing
material brought down by the rain,
and also that formed in the soil dur
ing the summer months, much Of
which would otherwise be lost through
the teaching action of rains.
6. AS shown conclusively by the
particulars obtained by careful expert
ments over a number Of years with the
more important farm crops the plow-
ing under of green clover has a most
marked effect in increasing the soils
productiveness.

Airs. III. WrIQhf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is
akind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
'ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. /

$iN SEARCH OF LIyINGSTONE'S 1REE$

Mr.. Weatherby, the explorer, has
just returned from Africa, where he
has been for eleven years. the only
white man among hosts of blacks. In
that long period he has had many
thrilling adventures, says the London
DAILY News. He has succeeded in
making corrections on the map of the
interior Of the Dark Continent and in
discovering the spot where the heart
of the great Livingstone was buried,
the locality of which had been lost.
He has been instrumental in raising a
permanent memorial to the famous
missionary, in place Of the decayed
tree which marked the site, and he
has brought back to the British Mu-
scum that part Of the tree which bore
the original inscription, cut by the ma
lives, who loved and mourned their
white chief.
My object, says Mr.. Weatherby, was
to circumnavigate Bangweolo lake and
to find the spot where Livingstone's
heart was buried. Glave, the Amer
lean who died while attempting to find
the tree, was the last man who had
any accurate idea where it was. 1
accomplished both tasks. Old Mshaota,
the chief who helped me find the Liv-
1ngstone tree, told me a strange story.
He remembered Livingstone. who. he
averred, was shot. Everybody, he
said, knew that it was so.
One Of my greatest friends was
Mewenge, a chief, but it was some
time before we understood each other.
He had never seen white men, but
had heard Of them, and when l sent
word l was coming, he grew much
alarmed. When l went to his tent he
rushed out, and, selling me by the
arm, slashed his ak over my head into
tree behind me. The next minute
he pulled up my shirt sleeve to see if
my arm was white. That gave me
time to tell him he might kill me if
he wanted to, but that it would be
more interesting not to.
also had "scary" greeting from
kasOma, much-dreaded chief. I set
out by boat to visit him, with nine
men. When we neared the village.
and two thousand armed men rushed
to the elge Of the lake, 1 found we
had left our rifles behind us. With my
heart in my mouth, jumped ashore
alone. AS I stood before the chief
could see his heart throbbing in his
naked chest, and 1 knew he was in
as bad way as I myself.
Good morning! How do you doY
shouted.
The chief gave signal, and I put
my hands in my pockets to meet the
end calmly. The same moment the
chief and every man clapped their
hands in unison, knelt down and bowed
their heads.
After all, little bluff is a great
help in dealing with natives. stood
once surrounded by four hundred men
who had rifles, each waiting either for
me to move or for his neighbor to be-
gin the firing. got one Of the men
to bring me shot-cartridge, and,
opening it, sent the handful Of shot
to the chief, with the message that he
would be more likely to hit me if he
used that instead Of bullet. The
joke set the whole lot laughing.

Panessting Against Rate Reduction

Atlanta, Ga.
The recent proposition of J. Pope
Brown, Chairman of the Georgia Rail-
road Commission, to reduce the passen-
ger rate in Georgia from three to two
cents per mile was protested against
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors, and unions Of the blacksmths,
machinists, telegraphers, boilermakers,
railway train men, carpenters and
joiners. clerks and car men. These or
CARNATIONS employed an attorney es-
pecially to represent them, who urged
that such a reduction would work
against the prosperity of the State and
lead to reduction in the number of
railroad employees, as we'll as of their
wages. The Travellers Protective AS
ISOLATION also protested that reduc-
ton as proposed would result in fewer
trains and poorer service.

Got a Fine Doll.

Little Miss Alice Clarkson begun
gathering up the Noah's Ark adver-
tisements last month and asked all
her neighbors for their ad out of
their papers. and Saturday she got
the incest doll over at Noah s Ark
store, because she had more ads than
any other little girl. Then last week
Lou kimbal and Mamie Heckert
each happened to have lucky num-
bered ads, and they each got a nice
piece of china. 1t is getting so that
the first thing nearly every woman
does when she gets the Tribune is
to look for Noah's Ark ad, and
see if she has a lucky number. Next
month some other little girl who
picks up more copies OF the ad, any
and all numbers. will get just as nice
a doll as Miss Carlson did. And
every week if you have the numbered
ad that they want you can exchange
it for piece of china. See if you
have ads of last week numbered 9S
or l37 or All. If so bring them to
y oah and get your china.
