Mr.. KING, EDITOR BEACON: and
| am sure every farmer of your sub
scribers read with interest Mr.. Nell
sons (of the Department OF Agri
culture) valuable article in your last
issue on Red Clover; how to grow
it; its value as an improver of our
soils, and mixed with the grasses,
the most palatable and nutritious Of
our hays.
have long since come TO the con-
clusion that the legume is the cheap
and coming source of restoring our
lands, now in many cases, nearly
worn out by cropping and bad cult
walton for the past two hundred
years. Legumes give US all the
necessary nitrogen, and what it and
other crops use up in lime. phos
phorus and potash may be supple d
at one-fourth cost of nitrogen were
we compelled to buy the latter in
open market.
My experience leads me to concur
with Mr.. Nelson that the safe and
sane wav to secure a clover crop is
to seed alone or without a nurse
crop. | have seen good crops Of
clover on cOrn-stubble. seeded in
spring, narrowed in or uuharrowed,
when adjoining wheat fields seeded
TO clover at same time, would be by
August nearly bare. None of the
clovsrs should be seeded ia our Sec
tion later than September 10.
Seeded with timothy or red top.
the last of August or early in Sep
TENDER, on good aud we'll prepared
land, you will have a fine cut
of hay the following July. Proper
drainage must not be forgotten for
nothing, with profit, will grow on
sodden land.
hope Mr.. Nelson may be Undue
ed to write more on this and similar
subjects.

Groundleaves coming in more

this will continue to be the case for
they are very scarce, only a portion
of the normal crop being saved this
year, and they are generally inferior.
The Market is as it has been for the
past month. In fact no change can
be expected until the new crop be-

In other words. the much-vexed

BURKE AND MARTIN.

W. Martin retire TO private life
after a credirable and useful con
gressioual career. Mr.. Burke was
first elected to congress in 1898 and
Mr.. Martin in 1890. Mr.. Burke
broke into congress after a very
hard fight for the nomination. He
had served for two terms previous
10 his candidacy for congress in the
state legislature, and among mem,
bers of the Legislature earned early
recognition as a hard worker aud
efficient member. In the state at
large he did not have a large follow.
ing, but it was pronounced, confident
and active. The state convention
met at Mitchell in 1898 and his
domination followed. He was
elected the November following and
a year later took his place in con-
gress. He went to Washington
determined to represent the inter,
ests of the people of the state to the
best of his ability. During his first
term his colleagues learned of his
working ability and practical way Of
doing things. He was unanimously
re-nominated two years later and
reelected, and since that time to the
date of his retirement has been one
OF the most useful representatives
this state has ever had in congress
He has made a name for himself
among members of congress that any
man might we'll be proud Of. He
has been one of the leading mem
bers of the house and scarcely any
Legislation affecting the interests o.
his state but what he has succeeded
in enacting into a law, and upon thu
larger questions of national imporr
he has welded a wide influence
Mr.. Burke has grown and broadenec
during his congressional career unit
he has earned the right to be classec
among the few practical construct
i've statesmen of the house.
Mr.. Martin first entered congress,
in 1901. His nomination was
popular one and made by the Siou,
Falls convention in response to
popular demand. xThe Black Hi
man is a fine orator and differs from
most men so gifted in being thoro

admitted hat South Dakota ha,
representatives the equal OF an,

materially from the class of me-
whom they succeeded, and Soutl

returned home proud Of the state
congressional representation. MI
. Martins congressional career ha

WOLVES INVADE TOWNS.
Intense Cold Drives Wild Beasts Into
Cities Of Northwest.

WINNIPEG. Man, Jan. 23.-IntenSe
cold and heavy falls of snow are al
ready having the effect of driving wild
animals into towns and cities for food.
A wolf ran down Main street, in the
most populous district of Winnipeg
and later a lynx was killed short
distance from the new Canadian Pa
cific station.
From Saskatoon came a dispatch
that dreaded gray wolves starved by
the scarcity of deer and other game
in the north, came down upon the his
tOric region Of BatOche in great num-
bers and are a terror to the people,
The beasts chased two men, one of
whom climbed tree, and howled I'M
der him, thirsting for his blood, all
night long. The rest of the pack
chased the other man into his own
back yard, where he found refuge.
This invasion of wolves, which is
more or less common in all farming
settlements in western Canada, is
caused by the scarcity of rabbits and
small game.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 23.-It now de-
velOps that Major Henry M. Neil of
this city was the first man to be en-
listed in Ohio under the call for troops
by President Lincoln for the civil war.
Major Neil has never spoken of his
distinction until now. The major says
that when the message from Lincoln
for the quota was received he was in
Governor William Dennison's Office.
The governor. who was his brother.
in-law, related the contents of the tele-
gram, and Major Neil followed by say
ing that he could be counted on and
desired to be the first man enrolled
When Lieutenant Bob" Williams ar
rived from Washington that night to
recruit soldiers he swore Major Neil in
as a private.
Neil served in the short service and
was mustered out in 1864, after COM
handing battery he had raised This
honor of being the first Ohioan to en-
list has always been credited to Lorin
