ly known. Clover seed are usually
sown with small grain in the spring.
A surer way Of obtaining stand is to
SOW after the oats have been disked IN
and cover with harrow; otherwise
the seed are put in so deeply that many
of the little plants never reach the sur
face.
One of the principal reasons for fail
ure with clover is poor seed. A sam
pie should always be tested before
sowing. This can be easily done by
putting a hundred seeds between a
couple of moist blotters and keeping in
warm place for few days. The
number that terminate can be used as
q guide as to the amount of seed to
use per acre.
One reason why clover and alfalfa
are not more popular with farmers is
the difficulty of curing the hay. If 1t
is left in the swath until dry enough to
put in the NOW, the leaves. which are
the most valuable part, will become
SO brittle that many Of them will be
lost. A better way is to so over the
field with side delivery rake as soon
as the leaves have wilted little and
throw the hay together in loose wind
rows. Handled in this way, 1t dries
evenly, and the leaves will not fall of
so easily. Hay cured in this way is

of waterway development than ever be-
fore, and should Illinois show a dispo-
Sition to enter vigorously upon the
work of waterway construction, it
cannot but affect favorably the fed
eral situation.
1T seems to be now an established
fact that the Canadian government is
seriously considering the construction
Of the Georgian bay canal, which will
give to Canada deep waterway from
the lakes to the Atlantic ssaboard, af
fording to our northern neighbors and
its mother country great advantage
over the United States in the matter
of commerce between the Atlantic and
the inland lakes. There should be a
speedy beginning on the part Of the
United States and the states interested
in the construction OF the lake>to-eulf
waterway in order that this country
may stand upon an equality in all COM
mercial advantages with Canada and
Great Britain. Our state, therefore,
should take leading part in the pres
ent movement for waterway develop
ment and set an example OF prompt
and vigorous action which will COM

ALFALFA.
later or disked up in the spring. They
are often sown in cornflelds during the
last cultivation to keep the weeds
down and to add nitrogen to the soil.
Because of the fact that other crops
make so much better growth after the
field has grown a legume for year or
so it is important that a crop of clover
or some other legume be grown Occa
sionally. If plan Of rotation is ar
ranged so that the fields are regularly
changed from one crop to another, so
much the better. 1t has been found
that when any crop is grown year aft
err year on the same land the yields will
grow less. The particular kinds of
food that certain crop requires grows
scarcer, and weeds and insects become
more numerous If another kind of
plant is substituted, other elements Of
plant food will be drawn upon. the i'll
sects will be starved out and the chang
ed methods of soil treatment will dis
courage the weeds.
Plants vary greatly In their ability to
get food from the soil. Such crops as
rye and buckwheat are strong feeders
and are able to obtain food from soil
on which more tender plants would
starve Some plants use much more
humus than others. Crops like corn
that are cultivated frequently deplete
the humus supply rapidly, since the
constant stirring of the soil hastens de-
cay. Oats, on the other hand, take
comparatively little humus from the
SOIL
These differences may be largely
equalized by a consistent system Of ro
tation. In planning rotations the aim
| should be to so distribute the crops
that they will be best adapted to the
the preceding crop. The starting point
Of every rotation should be clover or
some other legume. The length Of time
that a field should be left In to such a
crop depends largely on local condi
TONS In the east, where alfalfa seed
is high and the difficulties Of obtaining
stand great, it is usually wise not to
plow up the crop for three or four
years. Red clover lives only two years;
hence if not plowed up the second year
the land must be reseeded. In most
cases two years is as long as the land
should be left to any one crop.
Since clover is grown with snail
grain the first year, this means only
one year in which it will be the sole
crop. If the second crop Of clover is
to be plowed under, as is the case
when the soil is considerably lacking
in humus, this work had better be
done in the fall, SO that the mass of
green clover may have time to decay
before the following crop Is planted
If the soil has been properly cared for
however this green manuring will be
unnecessary AS general rule 1t is
more profitable to feed the hay OF
grass to stock and return the manure
to the land. In this way from so tc
DO per cent as much plant food is
added as would have been If the croI
had been rloweh under. and at the
same time the stock has had the bene
fit of the extra feed When only the

Great Law Force.

city, Attorney General Byers made
the following statement:
We have in the state at this time
about 5000 constables, SO sheriffs

have 800 mayors and city marshals.
hundreds of policemen; we have 80
county attorneys with a grand jury
In every county with 53 district
judges; we have supreme court
an attorney general and numerous
state inspectors. What tremendous
power for the enforcement OF the
criminal laws of the state this great
force would be if properly organized
and if every man from the lowest to
the highest could be made to perform
his whole duty. Without opportunity
to closely observe the workings OF
the law enforcing officers OF this
state the task may seem imposslple'
to me it is simple enough. Let the
legislature make the governor or
some other officer or state depart
ment, responsible for the conduct OF
peace officers, mayors and prosecut'
ing attorneys by lodging with him
the power to remove these officers
upon proper complaint, and after full
hearing; and then establish har
monious working relation between all
of the law enforcing officers of tie
state with the power of supervision

ment of justice and the thing is &C
complished, or as nearly so as it is
possible with human instrumentall

after the house of representatives was
