sowing Crimson Glover.

Crimson clover gives the best results
when sown In late summer, preferably
from July Is to Sept. l. 1t Is most
commonly planted In corn or following
a small grain crop. In the latter case
the land should be plowed and put In
good condition before seeding. Consit-
cradle difficulty is often experienced In
obtaining stand OF crimson clover.
Indeed, It is common saying that is
must be sown between showers in or
der to be assured of a stand 1t is Inn
portant always to use fresh seed, an
the terminating power deterlorates rap
idly. Ordinarily twelve to fifteen pounds
per acre are used, but good results have
been obtained with smaller quantities.
In some cases the failure to obtain
stand has been attributed to the lack OF
incubation In any event 1t Is always
desirable to inoculate the seed or the
soil before planting on land for the first
time. Even II stand Is only obtained
two times out of three, crimson clover
Is still very profitable crop to grow.

PLEASANT ISLAND.
A BIT of Land In the Pacific Named
for the Natives, AmiabIe Traits.

BIT OF Land In the Pacific Named
for the Natives, AmiabIe Traits.
The solitary little island Of Nauru
rises from Pacific depths of about H..
600 feet some 400 miles west of the
nearest land of the Gilbert group. II
is scarcely as large as an American
township, and it is an atoll, but it diff
fers so much from nearly all the other
atolls of the Pacific that 1t has attract
ed much attention.
The atolls rise only a little above the
sea level, and after the traveller has
seen two or three Of them he concludes
that they are very monotonous. But q
part of the outer rim Of Nauru IS YER
dant ridge of about 200 feet high, ard
what was once the lagoon encircled by
coral reef Is now plain, slightly roll
Ing and strewn with coral fragments.
This atoll evidently had peculiar
history that made 1t different from
many of the other atolls. Here and
there are bits of volcanic rock and YES
tfges of ancient craters that help to ex-
plain this history.
The time was when volcanic forces
lifted the submarine mountain on
which stood the circle of coral and the
lagoon within it until the lagoon was
above the sea level, and It's waters
drained away, leaving a dry plain. So
here we see an atoll lifted into the air
SO that its whole formation may be
studied above the sea level.
Nobody Knows when emigrants came
In TIER small boats to settle on the
little island, but there is every reason
to believe that they sailed from the
Gilbert Islands. Their habits and arts
are very similar to those of the Gilbert
Islanders and there are striking resem-
blances between their languages. Their
names for many plants are almost or
quite identical with the names for these
plants in the Gilbert archipelago.
When white men came less frequent
ly than they do now the natives used to
| throng the beach, welcome the visitors
with glad shouts and lavish their best
hospitality upon them. There were
factions among them and they were
often at war until they were dlsarmed
by the German warship Eber after the
Island became a part of the German
Pacific possessions.
Every visitor for years past has said
that they are the most gentle, peace
able and friendly people that could be
imagined. and these attractive qualities
induced some English seafarers to give
new name to the island by which It Is
now everywhere known. Even on the
German maps are found both the native
name Nauru and the name now In. com.
mon use, Pleasant Island.
Considering its smallness, the island
has become remarkably conspicuous in
a commercial way. No other island OF
Its size produces so large an amount of
copra, the dried meat Of the cocoanut.
Several years ago great phosphate
beds were found IN the interior and
they are proving gold mine to the
German Jaluit Company, which is
working the deposits in connection with
an English company. The latter dis
covered beds also In Banaba Isle ad,
| about hundred miles away, and the
two companies are working both de
poSits together.
