Sowing Glover Seed.

White clover is not ayerSe to grow
ing frequently on the same soil, al
though that soil may have been but
specifically plowed-a consequence, no
doubt, Of the plant being indigenous
and growing spontaneously in this
country. Some persons have, however,
observed that on soils not very we'll
adapted to it's cultivation it thriyes bet
ter when first introduced than after
the land has borne it for a number of
years. Red clover is not found to be in
jured when sown alternately with
white clover White clover is sown
either on the autumnal sowing or
among the spring grain, but the for
mer position is better for it. because
among the autumn grain it grows more
quickly and affords good pasturage
among the Stubbie 1t is also spread
over the autumnal sOwings as soon rs
the frost is over; sometimes also sown
before winter, or even while the ground
is covered with snow, III order that it
may more e1fectually be buried by the
and may consequently terminate on
the first return of spring. The small
ness of the seed of white clover and
the disposition of the plant to spread
allow of its being soWn much more
thinly than red clover; much smaller
quantity of seed is therefore required
for given extent of ground, five
pounds per acre being quite sufficient
if the seed be uniformly scattered. The
time for which white clover lasts de
ponds upon the extent to which the soil
is adapted to it, Sometimes it contin-
ues for three years only from the time
of sowing and fails in the fourth. When
fed off To excess by sheep it disappears
sooner still, because these animals eat
the stem even down to the roots, which
they tear up. Nevertheless, it makes
excellent sheep pasture, owing to its
shorter growth, compared with the red
variety.

Growing Fruit.

Larger areas are annually being de

fruit increases it is apparent that new
fields are opening il those sections not
adapted for special farming or stock
raising. Stony hillsides that are now

Rreed Is Not Only Factor,

When one sees great milk and but
ter record of a herd of cows of a giver
breed he must not conclude that all he
has to do to achieve similar success
is to buy a herd of that breed He
must remember that the COWS must
have the individuality of the record
makers, and that he must possess the
skill for management that the owner
of the record makers does. Breed is
only one of many factors that make for
success.

Each individual i'll the herd should
be studied and given the care that she
requires for best production, says
Farm Journal.
Two sisters stood side by side in a
herd. One required bulky, light food
to cause her to do her best. The other
required more concentrated food with
less bulk.
No herd of cows can ever be really
profitable unless they receive just this
careful attention.

Controlling Growth of Cabbages

Some gardeners practice a method OF
stopping the bursting of too rapidly
growing cabbage heads. The idea is to
check the root growth, which is sending
too much sap into the head. Either
some of the roots are cut away or else
the roots are somewhat loosened by
pulling the cabbage partly out of the
ground. Either plan will check growth
sufficiently to save the cabbage.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to Sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it, The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
CeSScS which are almost exactly like the
Churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil Of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the diSSem-
ination Of disease throughout the body.

INspEcTs GOVERNMENT DOCK.

Colonel s. w. Roessler and Captain
P. J. Werlich spent yesterday at the
buoy depot, near the mouth OF the Co.
lumbia River. making an examination Of
the dock on which large quantity Of
coal Is being stored. Some Of the piling
Of the structure had begun to give way
under the heavy load. After looking
over the wharf, the government men de-
cided to have the necessary repairs
started as soon as possible. The dock
win also be considerably strengthened.
About 1000 tons Of coal are being placed
at that point for reserve supply. in
case that it should be difficult to get the
fuel later in the season.
Work on the government jetty at the
mouth Of the Columbia River has not
been progressing rs rapidly as usual
during the past week on account Of the
thick fog Colonel Roessler says the
barges, laden with rock. did not arrive
from the quarry yesterday until 2
O'Clock in the afternoon. Had the wealth
er been favorable. he says they would
have put in an appearance at 7 o'clock
in the morning. Eight barges are en-
gagged in transporting material to the
jetty. Two are kept loading at the
quarry, two in transit both ways and
the same number discharging at Fort
Stevens.

ea in service deepening the ship channel
