The Failure of the Clover Crop.

The Failure of the Clover Crop.
There are two principal reasons
for the failure of the clover crop,
which is becoming increasingly
frequent in eastern and southern
Ohio. The first is exhaustion of
the soil supply of lime, the Sec
ond is a fungous disease of the
plant. In old fields lying upon
sandstones, in which the clover
makes a weak and patchy
growth, mostly dying out the
winter after seeding and being
replaced by sorrel, a deficiency
of lime is to be suspected, and
farmers who are located upon
such lands should write for a bull
letin on lining the soil, published
by the Ohio Experiment Station,
at Wooster.
Where the clover fails on lime
stone soils disease is probably the
cause, and for this no remedy is
known except to substitute man.
moth or alsike clover for the COM
mon red. The alsike has proven
very good substitute at the
Ohio Station. Its seed is much
smaller than that of red clover,
and at present is lower in price.
A bushel of alsike will SOW nearly
as much land as two bushels of
red or mammoth. The alsike is
not only more resistant to dis
ease, but also endures soil acidity
better than the red, and the Ohio
Station has adopted the plan OF
mixing the two varieties. Or
very acid soils, that have not
been lined and which should be
sown to clover this spring, it il
probable that it would be econ.
omy to sow the alsike clover a
lone; but all such soils should b.
lined at the earliest practicable
date, for the benefit of othel
crops as well as clover.

Dolly Penny, beloved daughter

pm, of neuralgia of the breast,
after a very short illness of four
days, aged thirtysix years and
some months. Funeral Saturday
at l o'clock from Painter Creek
church, interment at Newcomers
cemetery. She was we'll known
in the community and was ever
ready and with a willing hand.
A devoted member of the Men
monte church for three years,
and was never happier than when
laboring for her Master, and we
hope she has received the reward
which she so longed fora
crown, with the promised star.
Left to mourn her early depart
ure are one daughter, Iowa, moth
er, two sisters, one brother, while
father, two sisters and brother
preceded her. Realizing the end
near, she bid each and all a last
goodbye with many endearing
words.
She struggled for breath with
defiance
AS if with loved ones oppressed.
Then her pulse sank low and
lower
And her spirit was at rest.
Sadly we've laid her beneath the
sod.
Her soul I hope is with it's God
And on heavens bright and flow

Which Party is DividedP
BY LEO.

while Grating to the banqueters
at Columbus, made much of the
supposed division of the republi-
cans, and thereon based his hope
of success for his party in the
forthcoming presidential cam
paign. At that time it did look
as if the republican party was
somewhat divided: but since that
time the supposed divided repub-
lican host held a great state con-
vention in the city of Columbus,
and 10, the brethren dwelt to-
gether in unity.
We have called it a great con-
vention, because it was numer-
ously large, and was entirely free
from bossism and discord. There
was not sign of disagreement.
The delegates had come together
for one great purpose, and they
accomplished splendidly the task
in hand. There was a perfect
agreement in regard to the ma
tional administration of Theodore
Roosevelt, and the nomination OF
VIM. Howard Taft for successor
in the White House-just as we
predicted in advance. There
never was a more harmonious
political convention. Unity was
obvious and impressive.
Thus the hope of Bryan seemed
to have been checked in the very
city where a few days before he
had joyously expressed it.
How is it with democracy? We
think the division is mainly there.
The eastern states are still mill
tant against the nomination OF
Bryan at Denver, and positively
affirm that if nominated his de-
feat is sure to follow. They may
be mistaken, but still the divis-
ION exists.
In our own state there is a bit
ter fight on hand between our
Harvey CARRIER and his followers
and Tom Johnson and his clan
war to the knife, apparently, with
the knife in the hands of the po-
werful johnson. The belliger-
ents may conclude to bury the
hatchet before election, but at
this time the war is on. If Bry-
an were to speak in Ohio just
now he would hardly boast of a
united democracy and divided re-
publicanism. It looks too much
the other way.
In this there is no assurance
that the Denver convention will
fail to nominate the peerless. "
On the contrary, his nomination
is sure to take place. No other
democrat has the least chance.
The party is bound to have Bry-
an, and things being so, they
ought to have him for their can
didate once more. We are not
right in blaming Bryan for not
withdrawing from the contest In
favor of some one else. The par
ty does not desire it, and proba'
bly would not allow it. Wher
neither party in marriage seeks
a divorce no court should ordel
one. Let the democracy have
Bryan. No other democrat coulc
fill his place.
And yet, his third defeat is al
most sure. He is good man
lust, honorable, religious; bu1
the country wants some one els
for president at this time.
That somebody else is our owl
fayorite son, W. H. Taft. Tn
widespread conviction is tina
Taft will make the better chic
magistrate for the republic. Bry
