Timothy Compared With Clover.

1t is constant surprise to US to
receive so many inquiries as to the
comparative values OF clover and
timothy as soil builders. Glover is a
soil builder, but timothy is nothing OF
the kind. In fact. timothy, particularly
when ripened for seed, Is as distinctly
a soil robber as any of the grains. 1t
is as much a surface feeder. and gets
as Little from the air, which is prac-
tically nothing.
Clover is just the reverse of all TINS.
1t goes deep into the subsoils. feeds
certain nourishments to the soil, which
Turned under, clover adds far more
TO the soil than timothy, largely for
the same reasons that alfalfa does.
When we divide crops into their two
classes. soil builders and soil robbers,
timothy goes In with the grains, While
clover most surely ranks high among
the soil builders.
AS hay of pasture timothy balances
up well with clover and for this and
other seasons is very often soWn
with clover, but not because it in any
way takes its place in building up the
soils fertility. On some soils clover
seems to do better after a dense

crop will follow such treatment md

which only grain crops had previously
been taken. The effect of the timothy,
however, is largely mechanical, adding
slightly to the humus, and a little 10

TELEPHONES AND NATIONS.

Straws show the directions OF the
wind Little things show the difference
between nations and peoples. For in
instance the telephone
In all Europe there are 2,300,0 900 tele-
phones in use. The population of
Europe is 400, o0o.0 600. This gives 10
persons the use of one telephone. In
this country with $4,000 900 popula-
ton, 100000 phones are in use or a
telephone to every dozen persons. Three
American cities have more telephones
cities of the third class have more
phones than some entire European
countries.

SLIPPING ONE OYER.

A Des Moines newspaper tells it's
readers that the police slipped one
over on justice Of the peace by Sc
curing an indictment charging assault
to murder against defendant who
had been discharged with others in the
justice court because the police wit
nesses had not been present when the
justice called the case. This, we are
informed. caused a row between the
police and the juctice and resulted in
the Slipping over" referred to. The
inference suggested is that the police
and the justice are busily engaged
Slipping them over on each other and
the further inference is irresistible
that in the process of slipping over the
ends of justice are not kept as clearly
in view as the ends of individuals
who are engaged in the slipping over
business.
Now this defendant may have richly
earned indictment on a criminal charge
that may land him in the penitentiary
but the suspicion is justified that he is
tice. Police court criminals become a
sort of medium of exchange, a system
of counters whereby crime is to be
checked up and officers win notice and
promotion, soon enough and often
enough without being put between the
upper and neither millstones of a po-
lice justice court row. When such rows
are in progress every old police re-
porter will be able to tell what is going
to happen to the grist
The public is not particularly inter-
ested in any row between one branch
and another Of the peace department.
1t is vitality interested in keeping of
the peace and the administration of
justice. 1t is not anxious that men
shall be punished for crimes that they
have not committed or that they shall
be bounded for crimes that they have
committed simply that the police may
disguised at the thought that GRIM
inal may be turned loose in order that
the police force which arrested him
may be discredited and some ones
spite be satisfied.
There is too much attention paid to
slipping one over" and far too little
given to wise and judicial administra-
ton of city affairs from the top to the
bottom. The high obstacle the Des
Moines plan has been obliged to face is
the vanity and epitefulness of those
who administer it There seems to be
more attention paid to slipping one

Converting the Hog Into a Rake.

Converting the Hog Into Rake.
A new method for Graduating the
worst weeds that trouble the farmer
has been discovered.
| The "bindweed," or wild morning
glory" has proved very injurious 10
various kinds of cultivated crops, such
as garden truck, small fruits and COM
mercial seeds. Where this weed
ahounds, the tilling of the soil has
hitherto been very difficult. because of
the underground roots, burt the new
method will entirely remove tn eplant,
tops and roots as Well
Based upon the fact that hogs are
very fond of the roots and roatsticks
of this plant. which taste very much
like the sweet potato, George Virgins,
a farmer of Lodge. Ill, conceived the
idea that hog pasturing might be re-
sorted to successfully to eradicate The
weed
He accordingly turned loose alb out
100 hogs on a field containing thirty
acres, which was overrun with blind
weed.
These hogs did not have their noses
rung or slit, and Mr.. Virgins found
that they not only ate the tops of The
weed closely, but also rooted to- "a con-
siderable depth to obtain the under
ground parts. In q comparatively short
time the field was entirely cleaned up,
and after the process had been repeat ted
for three consecutive years the farmer
was able to raise a large crop of corn
and oats on what had heretofore been
practically useless soil
To produce the most satisfactory re-
suits from this form of hog pasturing
only a small quantity of food should
be given the animals in order that they
be forced to depend upon the bind
weed. 1t has been found that while
the hogs do not make quite as good
gains on this diet as on others. they
do very we'll under the treatment.
Manural Value of Coal Ashes.
There is more value in coal asnes
than is generally realized BY the farmer.
For the amelioration of heavy clay
land they are exceptionally valuable.
This is particularly so with the ashes of
soft coal, as such usually are reduced
almost to dust.
Coal ashes have a fertilizer value.
This opinion, however, is not held gen.
orally. The coal beds contain phospor-
us, potash. nitrogen and lime, as we'll
] eS liie OtlieI IeSS iIilPOI ldllI llSl SQlcAlS'
When the original trees out of which
We're formed the coal beds were re-
duced to coal the mineral elements re-
manned in them, and consequently those
same elements go with the ashes. One
authority says that the reason why
people have formed an idea that coal
ashes contain no fertility is that the
trees now grown have in them less
carbon than those in the old days, and
thus the percentage Of other elements
TO carbon is probably greater now than
then. which gives a larger value to our
wood ashes. but does not annihilate the
value in the coal ashes. Ashes can be
used to advantage without Sitting. but

by some considered a detriment to the

IMMENSE IRRIGATION TUNNEL NOW
 FINISHED
sIX-MILE BORE THROUGH NOUN. TAIN WILL IRRIGATE I'M
 MENSE TRACT

DENVER, September 23.--The great Gunnison tunnel, the first project m. dertaken by the United States govern men reclamation service, worg on which has been progressing steadily for four and onehalf years, is now completed. President Taft has personally opened the gates of the tunnel, turning the flow of the Gunnson river into the magnifcently constructed bore main ous project, which will irrigate l50,000 acres of choicest land now semi.arid
 The Guunison tunnel is located in Montrose county, in the Uneompahgre valley, in Colorado. The two gangs of men boring the tunnel met at 5:45 p. m., July 6, l909f at a point l0,Sl2 feet from the intake on the Gunnison river
 The tunnel is 3j,600 feet (six miles) long, llxl3 feet inside measurement and lined throughout with cement. The main canal is thirty feet wide at the bottom, eighty-three feet wide at the top, and the average depth of water is ten feet. The capacity is 1900 cubic feet of water per second.
 The cost of the tunnel and distribut- ing canals when completed will be over $5,000,000 and perpetual water rights will be sold to actual settlers at ap- proximately $35 per acre, being based upon the actual cost of the tunnel. Ten years time will be allowed for pay. ment, without interest
 The lands to be irrigated are suitable for fruit growing and the raising of all kinds of farm crops. The water, after it leaves the tunnel, will have 37 feet fall, which eau be used to gen crate electric power sufficient to light every town and every farm house in the Uncompahgre valley and provide power for all kinds of commercial and in. dustrial purposes.
 The lands under this project will af ford homes for all time to come for population of at least 25,O0O Amer jean citizens. Already there are three modern, enterprising and progressive towns via, Montrose, Olathc and Del ta--located in the valley, and with the development of this vast area oth- CT towns will undoubtedly come into existence to meet the requirements of the rapidly growing population.
