be ground to fine powder in a mortar

Can Say Ii with an Easy Conscience.
Perhaps the most strenuous opposi-

the Democrats is its policy OF protec-

that IL a Democratic administration

ton has been the means of making
this country what it is to-day CONNER
cially. and to change to a free-trade
principle or anything like it would be
resented by every one who has a dol
lar invested.
Thomas jefferson himself became a
high protectionist when he saw the
benefits arising from the policy, be-
cause of the war OF 1912. We have
continued the policy since the time of
Monroe with varying changes, and tn.
result has been such that we are not

Glover with Rape.

Sowing clover with rape is very
successful and popular method with
many farmers who are engaged in
raising sheep and goats, says q farm
ers' bulletin, issued by the United
States Department OF Agriculture.
With che land prepared as indicated
for sowing clover alone in the spring,
from ten TO twelve pounds Of clover
seed and from two to four pounds of
rape seed per acre are sown broadcast
about the 1st of May and covered
with harrow. If the ground is rough
and cloddy, 1t should be finished with
a roller If this mixture is sown Oh
a thoroughly pulverized and compact
seed bed. the rape develops rapidly and
furnishes excellent pasture for sheep,
goats. calves or swine in from six to
eight weeks The tramping OF the
animals while feeding during the sum

Crop Rotation.


An experiment reported in South
Dakota bulletin has been in progress
since 1897. A revised outline Of ear
ner results is here given. The purpose
Vt tn. present bulletin is to show which
crops reduce soil fertility and which
maintain its productivity. The best
ordei of succession Of crops Is also
showa as indicated by these results.
Tie best average yields of wheat
we're secured after either corn or po-
tatoes. Results following these two in
ordes' of merit were obtained from
sun~aler fallow, millet, vetch, peas.
wheat and oats. The introduction of a
cultivated crop into the rotation was
found to become more important, as the
conditions for the production of max
imum total crop were more unfavor-
able, especially If due to dry season.
1t was found that wheat Is a more
particular crop than oats and requires
a better place in the rotation.
The culture of Canada field peas
and vetch increased the growth Of
straw In the following crops, but gave
no material increase in the yield or
grain. This was most marked where
the peas were plowed under as green
manure or fed with hogs. Green man.
uring with peas has so far shown no
benefits over n summer fallow.
At the end of eight years land grow
ing wheat and corn alternately is pro-
ducing better total crops of wheat than
land growing wheat alternately with
vetch and with summer fallow. Manur-
ing land growing wheat alone has so
far not been profitable. but decided
profit was secured in manuring- land
for corn. Where the corn crop was
MANFRED a residual effect was observed
for at least four years.
1t is believed that in the best rota-
lions of South Dakota the land should
be sown to some perennial grass for
short term of yesrs. and that bronze
grass is well adapted to this use.

TRIED TO PAWN RARY.

Even railway station cloakroom might hesitate about taking one, and the pawnbroker cer- talnly cannot be expected to advance two shillings on the most promising and captivating infant offered in pledge There is so obvious a risk that it might never be redeemed, while babies are at present drug on the market, unlikely to fetch two shllllngs a head even by private sale, to say nothing of the prob- able intervention of the law if they were to be put up to public auction or ticketed in the window, All these ar- guments had not occurred, however, to the man wh tried to pawn a baby at Millwall and he demonstrated his dis satisfaction at the pawnbroker's re- fusal to do business by saying things and going out and falling over a wash stand and basin, with disastrous conse- auenoes to them He also demonstrated that lie was drunk, for which prosaic fact he has to pay about six times as much as it would have cost him to re- deem the baby on his own terms,-Pall Mail Gazette.

 a special canvass of the country with the definite purpose of realizing the ideal which the Father of his Coun- try had in mind
 The project of a national university has not met with favor from the rep resentatives of the leading institutions of learning in the United States The matter has been discussed In many meetings of the association of Amer- prisfng dozen or more of the big schools, such as Harvard, Yale, Prince ton, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins and Cornell in the east and Chicago, Michigan, Wisconsin, Califor- nia and Leland Stanford, Jr., in the west The sentiment has been adverse This may have been due in part 10 a desire to limit the number of real unl- versailles or 1t may have come from a feeling that there was no real need for a feeling that there was no real need for great institution at the national capital. On the other hand, the persis- tence of attempts by several denomina- tions to establish well endowed foun- dations at Washington seems to reflect popular opinion that the location is an ideal one for the purpose.
 When the strength and the activities of such educational forces as the Con grossional Library the Smithsonian Institution, the Carnegie Foundation, the National Observatory, the Coast and Geodetic survey, and various other public or selni-publlc enterprises are considered 1t is natural for the thought to take shape that well endowed de- gree comforting institutions of univer- sity rank might attract large numbers of advanced students because of the superior advantages afforded by the in- creaslngly intellectual environment of the seat of government.

 "For some time l served both coffee and Postum at our table, as my moth CT and husband would not give up their coffee. One morning l found the cof- fee canister empty, so I took special pains in preparing the Postum, and said nothing about not having coffee to serve.
 'My husband and mother both drank 1t, and did not detect the difference. After we had finished the meal told them what they had been drinking, and said guess we would all drink Post um. It has made a great difference with us.
 During a visit to an aunt's they all drank Postum except myself and little girl. Gradually one and then another would try Postum until, when I left for home, all but two out of the family of ten were using it, and all were greatly improved in health.

It has been before congress at intervals, hos been the subject of many reports to one house or the other, and has had the favor of many prominent men and women
 Just now the subject is again receiv- ing attention because of the activity or the authorities of what was long known as the columbian University an institution which changed its name not long ago to the George Washington university.
