RESCUED HIM WITH PErTIcoAr
Bull freed Swain and the Girl Lured
the Beast Away.

A bull and an opposite red petticoat
were the means of reconciling George
Hoyt and Miss Ella Goodman, who
were lovers once, but estranged more
or less of the last year.
Hoyt and Edward Cowles were
walking through a field at Oxford
Conn, when they were charged by a
bull. A tree in the middle of the field
afforded them an asylum. They gained
it by the thin margin of a coat tail.
The bull laid siege, and for an hour
the young men surveyed the horizon
for rescue. Then carriage ap
preached, and they signaled it with a
coat on the end of long stick.
The carriage contained a young
woman whom neither recognized at
that distance. But she prov ed to be q
person of resources. Tying her horse
to the nearest rail fence, she vanished
into the nearest clump of bushes and
soon reappeared, waving a scarlet pet
ticoat.
For ten minutes she stood on the
stone wall and solemnly wigwagged at
the bull with the flaming piece of ap-
parel. Then the bull took notice.
AS he approached the young woman
fed down the field along the wall, still
waving the silken scarlet challenge.
The bull pursued, believing. At the
far corner Of the field fence barred
his progress. On the safe side of the
fence the young woman kept on wav.
ing while the two young men. slipped
out of their tree and then out of the
field.
They fastened to meet and greet the
young woman. Much to the surprise
of Cowles, Hoyt and the heroine fell
into each others arms as soon as they

The girl was Miss Goodman. Hoyt

and she said, it is said, that it would

Keeping Tab on the Flock.

The following, from Poultry, makes
some statements which, at first, will
seem surprising, but are they not true !?
Is it not a fact that poultrymen are
much more careless than breeders of
other stock? It is the care in regard to
little things which determines success
or failure. The editor of Poultry says
The average poultry breeder is ex-
ceedingly complaisant over the loss of
a few chickens or a hen or two. He
seems to accept such losses as incidents
to the business which must be expected
and dismisses them from his mind as be-
ing among the things that must be ac-
cepted without murmuring.
1t is not at all unusual for poul-
tryman to rear less than IS per cent.
of the chickens he matches, nor is it un-
common to lose ten hens out of each
hundred kept.
IF sheep or swine breeder were to
lose 25 per cent. of his pigs and ten
per cent. of his breeding stock, he would
dC OIICC W SCck OuU U1lC CobuOC
and try to find way of preventing
such losses. The poultryman, as a rule,
takes such matters entirely too easily.
The loss of ten per cent. of the capital
stock of any business is a matter to
consider seriously. The loss of one hen
in ten is more serious loss than it
would be to lose one COW in ten, be-
cause the return in proportion to the
investment is greater in the case of the
hen.
A good hen will pay 100 per cent.
on the investment, and often twice as
much, while it is good COW that pays
so per cent. on the money invested in
her.
A very large proportion of the losses
tible cmfwypa ?ia hrdlu fwyp ETAOINb
among young chickens is easily pre-
ventible. The poultryman shouldd be-
gin to feel that he is neglecting his
flock when he loses as many as ten
chicks out of every hundred, and to lose
two hens out of every hundred is losing
too many.

TRIFoL1uM ALExANDRINUM.
Berseem or Bersin- Clover.


Under the title Of 'sBeerseem,
New Fodder Plant" the American
Cultivator prints short article about
a plant which would probably be
valuable addition to the forage crops
Of this state. In our subtitle we
give the name as spelled by Prof.
Hunt in his Forage and Fiber Crops
Of America, and by Baron Won Muel-
Ter in his Extra-Tropical Plants.
Although but little known in this
country it is one Of the oldest Of the
ing the plant and it's manner of
growth, flowers, foliage, etc., Prof.
Hunt says of it: "Berseem is the
one great forage crop of Lower
Egypt. Few single. species in any
country play more important role
in agriculture. 1t furnishes the green
fodder for all work animals in the
towns; all beef and milch animals
are ted on it; we'll kept donkeys and
even poor fellahs use it for food. 1t
has been introduced into America
with the hope that it may be found
useful in the warmer irrigated sec
tions, but its place, if any, has not yet
been established"
The copy OF Won Mueller's book
which we have was printed in 1884,
he says Of it: Much grown for for
age in Egypt, where it is used as
the main fodder. On the Nile it
gives three green crops during the
season, each up to two feet high"
his last statement would indicate
that 1t is not nearly equal to alfalfa.
Still It may thrive where the latter
cannot be grown. We should be glad
to hear of its being tested in Florida.
The article for the Cultivator is as
follows:
The backbone Of the worlds agri-
culture, it was once said, is clover.
This, Of course, is not exactly true,"
remarked one of the "plant explor-
erS of the Government, ''for we
could do without clover; but if so
amended as to substitute the word
1egumes, the statement would hold
true. Clover is but one Of the legum-
es, and without this family Of singu-
lar plants there could be no such
thing as keeping up soil fertility. The
O1u NOIIdn farmers understood the
value of the clOvers and used them
in their rotation of crops IN sunny
Italy; but they attributed their vir-
tue in enriching the soil to their long
roots and ability to bring to the sur
face plant food from the deep sub
soil
1t was not until very recently that
the true function of the clovers, the
beans, the peas and other legumes
was understood remarkable pro-
vision OF nature which allows these
plants to absorb the unlimited supply
OF free nitrogen contained in the
air. Clover, alfalfa, cowpeas, vetches
or any member of the big family will
make rank growth if planted in pure
sand and fertilized with potash and
phosphoric acid alone. Without
particle Of en-ammonia-in the
soil, they will store up vast quantities
of it in their leaves, stems and roots,
absorbing it from the air through
tubercules which form on the roots
through the action of minute animal
organisms
But there are legumes and legumes.
