The PIow and Corn.

Eighteen hundred years before the
Christian era, "Job's oxen were plow.
ing and the Sabeans fell upon them and
took them away" and we read in Kings
of Elisha plowing with twelve yoke ol
oxen. Putnam left his oxen in the fur
row and hurried to Boston after hearing
of the battle of Lexington.
In the earliest ages the plow was the
crooked limb of tree with projecting
point.
1t was twelve years after the Pilgrims
landed before they had any plows, the
sod being broken with clumsy hoes and
mattOcks. The FIRST plOws in Americs
were large and clumsy, made OF wood
the mouldboard being plated over with
strips of iron. 1t took several yoke ol
oxen, a stout man to hold, and another
to "bear on the beam" to keep it In tint
sod.
The first iron plow in America was
patented by Charles Newbold OF New
Jersey, who after spending $50, 600 IN
irving to get it into use abandoned the
attempt, the farmers declaring that the
iron would poison the soil and prevent
the growth of crops.
Indian corn, pumpkins, squashes, anc
potatoes, are indigenous to America anf
the early settlers learned from the In
dians how to grow them. The plowlr
was heavy mattock or grub-hoe, viii
which holes four feet apart were dug
Into each, one or two fish were dropped
and from four to SIX kernels OF corn
During the summer the cultivation wa!
done with those grub-hoes, as heavy a

Raise More Clover.

With this opening spring-time we
wish again to urge upon farmers the
| Importance of more attention to clover
as a farm crop. Glover is at once a

gen from the air, the most valuable fod-
der plant known to our Maine farming,
balance to defective rations for cows,
the most valuable fodder known for all
kinds of growing stock, q crop requiring
but small outlay of labor in it's produc-
,iOn, while in addition to all 1t is
bountiful producer. No other crop
adapted to our soil and climate carries
with itself so many advantages and
above all when grown it leaves the soil
better than 1t found it.
Glover is an old crop, and so easily has
it been produced all the way along that
it's superiority as farm crop has been
largely overlooked. 1t is quite frequent
ly the case that an object that costs but
little is appreciated only in the ratio OF
its cost. Recently, however, scientific
research has so brought out the eco
nomic value of this crop that farmers
are accepting it's superior value and are
giving it measure of increased atten-
tion over what has been the case in past
years. But not yet is it appreciated up
to the measure of its full value as farm
crop.
Farmers should aim to produce more
of this valuable crop. If the seeding
has sometimes failed, study to learn the
cause. If the soil is sour, as is so often
suggested by the fluent platform lee
turers, such q condition can easily be
proven by the application of lime or
ashes to trial plot. In case no serious
trouble has been experienced in secur-
| ing a good catch of the clover, then in
order to grow more of it, all that Ia call.
ed for is to seed to clover oftener. All
| farmers know that the common red
clover is a biennial plant and chiefly dies
out after the second year from seeding.
So to grow more of lit the land must De

corn to clover has proved quite success.

tation that will give return to the
clover every third or fourth year. Seed
ing to clover with grain lengthens the
rotation but another year, and this again
plowed after two crops of hay enables
return to clover much oftener than is
now the general practice. Farmers will
do we'll to look this matter over and
plan to get in a clover crop oftener than
has formerly been the general practice
More frequent plowing of the sod fields

around, as we'll as more clover.-Maine

Norman Gauntlets.

they were made to cover the arm as

embroidered and the backs set with
precious stones. No doubt the Norman

shown by many an old fragment OF

their strong castles, would find a

But the Trass boy finished his re-

to appear as man of respectable

The advent of Horace on his new
veloc!pele created sensation which
he haughtily accepted as a familiar
thing. Only Jimmie and his retainer
remained silent and impassivr. Horace
eyed the two invaders.

After the typical silence Jimmie said
pompously. Il got velocipede. Amt

The retainer answered with alacrity:
"YeS. he has! \ good deal bigger!'

ut any statement that Jimmie also
owned velocipede. AS for the con
tention that this supposed velocipede
could be larger than his own, he sim
ply wouldn't hear Of 1t.
Jimmie had been very gallant fig
ure before the coming of Horace. but
the new velocipede had relegated him
to squalid secondary position. So he
affected to look with contempt upon It.
Voluminously he Dragged of the We

painted its virtues and beauty In loud
and extravagant words. flaming words.
And the retainer stood by, glibly In

The little company needed him, and
he passed on vociferously from ex-

was reduced to mere mechanical
