Better results will attend the grow
ing OF clover when it comes to be
viewed by the average farmer as a
primary rather than a secondary and
makeshift crop. When sown with
oats they rather than the clover are
given chief consideration, while in sea-
sons when it occupies the land entire
ly the first cutting for hay is given
precedence over the second, which is
sometimes saved for seed

While the old hen method of raising
chicks has its drawbacks, SO has
the brooder method. Old Biddy does
not hatch the chickens out SO fast
as does the incubator nor lose so many
as does the brooder at times. A friend
who is much interested in the. raising
Of thoroughbred poultry tells us that
the other night bloodthirsty rat or
rats got into a sbrooder containing a
hundred fine little chicks conveniently
huddled together and killed all of them
but one. Had the brooder been an old
hen it is not likely that tenth Of this
number would have perished. :,

One Of the greatest drawbacks to
the making of 4 sweet and first class
butter product in the average cream
cry is an unsatisfactory condition Of
cream, the direct result of an INSULT
cient cleansing and scalding of the
milk and cream utensils. The wash
ing Of these in cold water and
rinsing Of them out with that which
is merely warm do not constitute a
thorough washing, and butter made
from cream handled in such recep-
tacles can be at best but of low
grade. The milk pals and cans
should be washed and scalded thor
oughly each time after they are used
and exposed during the day to the di-
rect rays of the sun, which is a prime
germ killer. Were every creamery
patron to exercise proper precautions
in this matter the question Of making
a fine butter product would be largely
solved

The need of cultivation is especially
apparent in hot spells after heavy
rains, when a baking of the surface
Of the ground prevents a proper cir
culation Of air through the soil and a
proper movement Of moisture from the
subsoil. Provided the top two or three
inches of soil are kept stirred and mel
low, it serves as a sort of blanket
which keeps the ground from over
heating and becoming too crusty.

an emulsion for spraying stock to
ward off flies that is recommended by
one stockman in Minnesota is made by
mixing thoroughly one part of kero-
sene with three parts of whale oil
soap. This may be rubbed on the back
legs with rag or hand and is said to
repel the flies for a period of about
two days, when it should be renewed.
Several good fly repellents are adver-
tised in the agricultural journals, and
with each package Of the articlesa are
directions for it's proper use. With
stock suffering from flies as they do
and COWS shrinking in their flow Of

The manure pile and the place for
dumping the slops are the two chief
places where house flies breed and con-
gregate. On this account they should
be located at some distance from the
house. This may mean carrying the
slops somewhat farther, but it will
also mean fewer flies in the house.

The common white market or. navy
bean has risen in value the past few
years until it now brings a good price
and gives a good return to the raiser.
One of the advantages Of bean cul-
ture, aside from the money return, is
that the land which grows them gains
rather than loses in fertility owing
to the fact that as it is not necessary
to sow to seed until June 1, a multitude
of weed seeds may be germinated and
destroyed. More than this, beans will
do well on rich or thin soil and give
a crop under most any conditions ex-
cept where the soil is too wet.

Sorrel may be accepted as pretty

dance of pure water to slake thirst in
man and beast. For this purpose it
fills the bill as nothing else will. Ami.
mails drink water as matter of course
and ask for no frills. Man seems to
vary natures programme, but often to
his own detriment. 1t is a matter of
medical record that a man under the
influence Of liquor is twice as likely to
freeze to death as a sober man, while
in the matter Of enduring extremes of
heat the total abstainer has a tremen-
dous advantage over the drinker of
even moderate quantities Of liquor.

There is even greater difference in
the milk capacity of cows in the same
dairy herd than there is difference in
capacity for work on the part OF men
living in the same neighborhood. Ex-
periments conducted at the Georgia
dairy station showed a milk yield from
the best cow for the year of 1868
pounds, worth $115.44, while the poor
est individual In the herd gave but
2,7SS pounds Of milk, worth but $41.64.
With a group of dairy cows at the
Michigan station there was a varia-
ton in net return for the year from
the poorest cow at $6.08 to the best at
$9SO5. In one herd of twelve cows
tested by the Illinois experiment sta
ton it was found that the three best
cows gave a larger return than all the
others put together, and yet it cost no
more to feed and care for them than
it did the three poorest that were bare
ly paying for their keep.
While it is advisable where possible
for the dairyman to give his cows a
thorough and scientific test as to their
milk production, very good idea OF
the worth of each animal as milk
| ing machine may be got by having
average samples of the milk Of each
cow tested for butter fat at the local
creamery and keeping an approximate
record OF the milk yield Of each cow
from month to month during her pc
rod of lacta.ion. Such findings would
not be valuable as scientific data, but
they would give the wide awake man
pretty accurate idea of those indi-
viduals in his herd that were really
source of profit to him and those that
were barely paying for their board CT
kept at an actual loss. Two points
should be taken into account in the
test-quantity and quality of milk
yield, coupled with the avera:e pc
Rod of lactation. If COW doesn't
make a showing on any Of these points
! she Is more than likely deadhead.

Bulgaria as q storm Center.

Among all the Balkan countries Bull.
garia seems to be best prepared to do
something decisive when the time is
ripe for political change. Conditions
have improved there since the powers
at the Berlin conference thirty years
ago placed its destinies in the hands
of Turkey. The people want to be
free and twenty years ago made a
good fight against Turkey. In that
struggle they lacked the sympathy Of
a strong European power. A free and
independent Bulgaria must, Of course,
complicate the politics Of eastern Eu-
rope.
The Russians have never ceased to
plot for the control Of Bulgarian poll
tics. Russia covets a southern outlet
to the sea and needs a strong power
which she car dominate in that re-
gion to defend her pass. Russian in
triguers drove the predecessor Of
Prince Ferdinand, Alexander, from
power and later forced Bulgaria's
greatest statesman, Stambulofff, from
the Office Of prime minister and then
shot him down in the streets like q
dog. 1t is probable that when the
psychological moment" arrives Rus
STA will bring forward one Of the
cars kin to occupy the throne Gre
ated by Bulgaria's proclamation Of in
dependence. The dominant passion of
the Bulgarians for the past generation
has been political freedom. They have
sacrificed everything to raise a good
army and have long been prepared to
put 100000 to 100000 men in the
field. Their officers have had German
training, and their military equipment
is modern. The men of education in
Bulgaria were taught in Germany, and
there are practically three interests at
work in the state-the native element,
yearning for freedom, and Russia and
Austria, each wishing to dominate
Bulgarian politics. The chief in
triguers in the Bulgarian mess are
agents of Russia, the court influence
Is keyed on the wishes Of the Aus
trian emperor, and the natives want
to be free of all princes and rule them
selves. Before they attain their ideal
the land will probably be drenched
with blood and become another Poland,
a bone for big powers to fight over
All the world must wish that which
ever way Balkan affairs are settled
the Bulgarians shall not be held up on
their march of progress.

Soldiers, Marching Tests.


Our army would show off well in a
marching test if the work done by the
officers recently is a criterion. Fifty
miles in three days is good marching,
although not great marching. During
the fall maneuvers of the German
troops the marching test was twenty
miles in n day, and 20 per cent Of
the men dropped out before the end.
This is poor marching, and the French
have shown better stuff or better
trimming, for only 3 per cent fell out on
a march Of the same length in France.
What our officers can do the men
can do. These walking tests for off,
GERS will no doubt spur the men in
garrison to practice o long walks.
Fifty miles in three days as the roads
average is good work, although it was
often beaten in the civil war. One
corps made a forced march of thirty
five miles in tw%enty-four hours to get
into the battle of Gettysburg, and this
not Stonewall Jackson's foot
cavalry either. Good marching wins
many battles as good fighting.

Knoc:.;n. Society.

M
Naturally all people who have their
say about society do not care to
have their views published and APP
piled to all society. Doubtless the
actress, Ethel Barrymore, sometimes
INDUCES in the thoughts recently ut
tributed to her with regard to some
people she has known who are lin
society,"" She put in a denial for her
self without disputing the main drift
Of the argument that had been placed
on her lips. Society is a very am
biguous term. and Miss Barrymore or
Mrs, William Astor, whose views also
were recently published, or any other
woman Of experience can criticise GER
tain social elements without meaning
to condemn all society.
In this country it is difficult to say
who are and who are not in society
and. above all, to say which is the
"best society" Of any community. In
monarchical countries the royalty and
nobility stand at the head, and all 9TH
er elements of society are graded upon
them. Here there can be no leader
ship except that which may be voted
by a given set or circle. Some one
gives a function, and invitations, like
kissing, go by favor. Empty parlors
mean that the would be leader has
made a mistake. The truth is that
America has no "best society" and no
arbitrary extremes. There is a varie-
ty of society, and those who are So
cially disposed ear take their choice.
If there are any who cannot fit in
somewhere the fault does not neces-
sarily rest with society"

The Poe Centenary.

The year 1909 was fruitful in giving
birth. to genius. Darwin. Gladstone
and Tennyson are among the distin-
guished E%nglishmen born that year,
while at the head of the Americans
there looms Abraham Lincoln as the
greatest figure of his time. Lincoln
was born in February, as we are now
annually reminded. Three weeks ear
lier Edgar Allan Poe first saw the
light in Boston. Richmond, Va, was
Poe's adopted home for a time. He
died in Baltimore and there lies buried.
Poe's centenary will be honored here
at home by his many admirers and
also in France and England with re-
spect and admiration.
It has been claimed that the tales
and poems of Poe were the first to in
troduce the merits of American litera-
ture to the readers Of Europe. He at
least originated a school Of writing
which foreigners honored by initiating.
The names Of Emerson, Hawthorne
and Poe are often associated as those
of three men who stand apart from
their fellows as writer's Of unquestion-
able genius. Not a few award the
palm among these three to Poe. AS q
master of subtle and imaginative verse
he has been placed in the highest niche
among Americans. His influence was
long recognized here and abroad, and
that part Of him which is immortal
his works. certain to receive homage
worthy Of it on two continents on the
hundredth anniversary Of his birth.

Teaching People to Save.


While the opposition Of the banking
fraternity to government postal banks
seems natural as a business policy, it
goes against one Of the cardinal prin-
ciples of sound finance. People need
to be taught to save and have their
money earn more money.
The regular savings banks will al
ways pay higher interest than the gov
eminent would allow and must con
tlnue to- get the spare money Of the
thrifty having access to their vaults.
The postal bank will send the dragnet
into the byways of the land and gath
er in dollars that would otherwise be
boarded in idleness or scattered on the
first tempting bargain or chance for a
good time. If the. pennies are saved
the dollars will find the right channel
to the best repositories for savings In
bulk.

Abolish the Sparks.

Some Roadway has been made in this
country in abolishing coal that
smokes. If that can be done the coal
that sends blazing sparks into in
flammable material along the engine
route can also. be abolished. Dry
grass, brush and bushes in the open
are often ignited by sparks from pass
ing engines. and it stands to reason
that the forests along the railroads
are exposed to the same danger, even
though the proof is not always SO clear.
New York's forest commissioner is
convinced that the railway engines
passing through the forested regions
of the state are the cause Of many
fires which do a vast amount of dam
age. He suggests that the coal burn
ing engine be abolished on all lines
~traversing the forest regions. Reports
to the commissioner from. patrols in
dictate that in forty days during the
drought 300 fires were started in the
state by sparks from passing engines.
Fire patrols are sent in the forests
with orders to look for the first blaze
and put it out. II they have proved
that the first blaze comes from the en-
CINE funnel it is perfectly logical to
ask that the spark emitting engine be
abolished wherever It is 9: source Of
danger.
