Good Advice on Clover.

Few as my years seem to me, can re-
member the time when red clover was
accounted the sure and dependable
means of keeping field in good heart
for a potato crop, says Alva Agee In
National Stockman, and potatoes brought
good money. / remember even better
the time when we we're driven to realize
that clover no longer was sure crop,
and then trouble began. Soils became
deficient in humus, and We learned
surely that humus-making material is
the life of the soils. This was an ad-
vance stop in knowledge. We got the
sure fact that practically all soils which
ever had been productive had an abund-
ance of nearly all mineral elements, and
at most, they needed only two or three
of these elements, and the biggest need
was, is and will be vegetable fibre or
some form of organic matter. 1t was
worth while to learn these things from
our scientists and practical farmers.
But those were dreary days when the
clover would not grow. Stable manure
cannot furnish all humus needed on the
farms whose duty it is to provide vegeta-
bles and grains for human consumption.
The southern field pea, soy beans, hairy
vetch and Bob Seeds turnips are aids in
getting organic matter into soils, but the
great mass of rs need the clovers to do
the work of keeping land in good physi'
cal condition and Of supplying nitrogen.
Now We know with certainty that
nearly all land that ever showed adapta-
ton to clover can be brought back to
good clover production. We know 1t
because success has been obtained on 80
many kinds of this land, and because
there Is plain, common sense in the
method.
We know the peculiar hunger clover
has for lime. This is fact No. l. We
know clover dislike for certain acids 10
the soil that lime destroys, and as the
original lime in the surface soil washes
down below, these acids accumulate.
Our scientists may not express the fact
in these terms some day, but need of the
lime and its friendly aid to clover will
remain. This is fact No. 3. We know
the deficiency of phosphorus In most
eastern soils, as evidenced by the COM
mon effectiveness of any form of phos-
phate and clover's need of this element.
This is fact No. 3. There are now thou
sands of us scattered widely who know
by experience or observation at close
range that II land has drainage; and If IL
be given enough humus in the form OF
manure or any other material In the sur
face soil to aid the baby clover plants
little bit, lime and phosphorus can bring
that land into heavy clover production

the engineer his copy Of the orders as
the new engine was coupled up. The
fireman pulled the canvas jealously
around the cab end The brakeman
ran hurriedly back to examine the air
connections and gave his signal to the
conductor. The conductor gave his to
the engineer. There were two short,
choppy snorts from the 101, and SO
moved out stealthily. evenly. resist
lessly into the teeth Of the night. In
another minute only her red lamps
cleaned up the yard. One man still on
the platform watched them recede. It
was Bucks.
He came up to the dispatcher's Of
fce and sat down. Callahan wondered
why he didn't 60 home and to bed,
but Callahan was too good railroad
man to ask questions Of superior.
Bucks might have stood on his head
on the stove and 1t redhot without be-
ing pursued with inquiries from Gala
han. II Bucks chose to sit up out there
On the frozen prairies In 6imsy baSn
Of station and with the wind howl
ing murder at 12 o'clock past and that
on Chri-the oath of December. 1t
was Bucks own business.
"I kind of looked for my mother to-
night" said lie after Callahan got his
orders out of the way for minute.
"Wrote she was coming out pretty
soon for little visit"
"Where does your mother live?"
"Chicago. I sent her transportation
two weeks ago. Reckon she thought
she'd better stay home for Christmas.
Back In Gods country they have
Christmas just about this time of year.
Watch out tonight, Jim. I'm going
home. It's wind for your life"
Callahan was making q meeting
point for two freights when the door
closed behind Bucks. He didn't even
sing out "Good night" And as for
Merry Chri-well, that had no place
on the West End anyhow.
"D-i. d-i. d-i. d." came clicking into
the room. Callahan wasn't asleep.
Once lie did sleep over the key. When
he told Bucks. he made sure Of his
time. only he thought Bucks ought to
know.
Bucks shook his head pretty hard
that time. TITS awful business, Jim.
It's murder, you know. It's the peni-
tentiary If they should convict you.
But it's worse than that. If anything
happened because you went to sleep
over the key. you'd have them on your
mind all your life, don't you know
forever. Men and II and children.

Tho Horse to Help Mankind.
(Homer Davenport In Live Stock Journal)


In creating the wonderful Orlof
horse, the late Count Orloff showed the
philosophy Of progression Of time; he
realized that the horse that WAS to be .
help to mankind would have to 60 fast
with heavy loads. instead OF following
Windshield that he would be compel
led to breast the front; and In the g.
tablishment of the Orloff horse he reach
ed the highest point Of his expectations;
he created horse with beauty, com.
bined with intelligence and kindness OF
disposition, which could maintain q
high rate Of speed at the trot at the
same time drawing . heavy load; and
that was also the condition Of the Nor
gan horse when he was In his so-called
purity though he was even less In size
than the Orloff; and 1t Ii that condition
in connection with the Morgan horse,
that the government Of the United
States Is now desirous Of producing.
The Morgan horse was not only 3
puller Of the greatest loads, but road
ster of the greatest number of miles;
combining with these qualities those of q
beautiful companion who was safe
pleasure to have mingled with your
family, and all of these qualities are
those of the Arabian horse; and am
satisfied from what saw In the desert
of Arabia during the summer of 1905,
that if those desert horses had been
taught to pull, they would have out
pulled, possibly, any known horse, az
they are built for such demonstrations
of strength.
l could use, possibly, no greater au-
thority, or saner opinion, than was ex-
pressed tho other day by gentleman
visiting my farms, from the border of
Canada. This man, q farmer, breeder
of horses and cattle of the highest type,
great believer in Morgan blood, and an
owner Of the same; after he had spent
two days and night at the farm, and I
had hidden him goodbye, supposing that
he had gone home, he came to me the
day after in New York, and asked il he
could return again to the farm; that
while he had purchased stallion of the
so called Arabians that were in America,
and while he had been q visitor to every
other Arabian stud in America, he could
not get out of his mind the brown
stallion "Haleb" which he had seen at
my farms, and of which he expressed
the opinion that he was "the saviour Of
the Morgan horse" and he wanted to 60
again and spend another day, whereup-
on, with moro than pleasure, extended
the invitation. He believed, he said,
that "if that horse was taught to pull,
he could out-pull any horse in the
world, regardless of weight Of size."

A Sucker Born Every Minute

Hiram Estes, a prosperous
farmer living a few miles north
of the Carol county (Ark.) line,
in Missouri, was made the vic
tim of a clever but simple swim
die a few days ago. The simplic-
ity of the thing must have been
the thing that caught the suck
er.
The first stage of the game
man came and looked at Mr.. Es-
tes' place Of 200 acres and found
that the owner wanted $50 an
acre for it, and agreed to take it
provided Mr.. Estes would meet
him in Monett MO- the next
Wednesday. He deposited $25
to show his good faith" and to
bind the bargain. The very next
day anoher man came and looked
at the place, commenting on its
nearness to the new railroad and
other fine points and, finding Mr..
Estes had agreed to sell the place
for SO, 900, he told him the place
was worth much more, ard that
he himself would give him So, 900
more than the other fellow had
offered. Now that extra So, 600
naturally looked good to him, so
on meeting Swindler No. / in
Monett at the appointed time he
wanted to back out" of his bar
gain with him. The fellow ex-
planned that he had gone to con-
siderable trouble to get ready to
buy the place, and positively
could not back out. Finally he
agreed to release Mr.. Estes from
the $4,000 deal if he would
write him check for $500.
This Mr.. Estes was glad To do.
with the prospect of the money
and much more coming back
soon. And then the stranger
faded away, but Mr.. Estes was
released from his deal with him;
although $475 short he could get
$4,000 more for his place. But
10 and behold, the other fellow
was missing too, and the farm
still belongs to Hiram. He has
learned a valuable lesson, though
a costly one, and he may be ready
for the next swindler who ap-
pears. Eureka Springs (Ark. }

can't understand why nights

A NEW
RAILROAD
Southern Pacific Will Com.
plete Line TO Deming.

Prescott, Ariz., April 10. The
Santa Fe Railway company has
just closed an agreement with
the Southern Pacific whereby the
latter railway takes over the
Phoenix and Eastern branch of
the Santa Fe and agrees to build
a thirty-four mile track connec-
ton with the town of Deming, N.
M. Both roads enter into a traf-
fic agreement for the use Of the
new line from Deming to Ludlow
and Mojave, CAL, by way of the
Wickenburg cutoff, which cross
es the Colorado river at Park er.
This will make q ans-continent-
al freight haul for both the South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe, elimi-
mating all heavy grades, the Santa
Fe by the new Belen cutoff elm
mating the Glorieta and Ration
grades, and the Southern Pacific
by the use of the Wickenburg
cutoff eliminating the Salton Sea
district. This information was
officially verified today by Epes
Randolph and Vice President
Drake, Of the Santa Fe, Prescott
and Phoenix.
