Food value Of clover un,

Farmers, as rule. do not appreciate
the fun value of clover as hay. Tim
othy hay costs more In the market than
does clover. which has led many farm
ers TO believe that timothy has high
er nutritive value than clover hay.
They assume that rs the city liveryman
or horse owner buy timothy in prefer
enc to clover that they are better
judges of the feeding value of hay than
they are themselves.
Nearly all the hay sold in the city
market is sold to horse owners whose
animals are used for light driving or
light work In such cases timothy is
to be preferred not that il contains a
higher nutritive value. but for the rea-
son that it carries less dust with II,

trates to the ration, all of which pro
duccs good results. but the rule on the
farm should be that as much nitrog-
enous feed rs 1t Is possible to
grow should be produced, and thus
save the expense OF large purchases of
oil meal.
Glover hay is an excellent roughags
to be fed fattening cattle In large guam
titles. Some feeders begin the feeding
period with two pounds OF clover hay
TO every pound Of corn. The amount
of hay is reduced gradually. and rhe
corn increased until toward the latter
part of the feeding period, when three
pounds of corn are fed TO every pound
Of clover hay. Feeding clover hay to
that extent, II is hardly necessary to
give oil meal, except during the last
four weeks of the feeding period.
Dairy cows also thrive on clover
hay, and corn and clover makes very
good ration for them. A good, thrifty
COW will eat % pounds OF clover hay
and 6 pounds OF corn daily. Such a
ration would have a nutritive ratio of

But two or three pounds OF bran and

fodder or other hay is substituted for
clover hay, more heterogeneous concen-
trates and less corn must be fed

A LOVERS ENVY.

! envy every flower that blows
Beside the pathway where she goes.
And every bird that sings to her,
And every breeze that brings to he-
The fragrance of the rose.
l envy every poets rhyme
That moves her heart at eventime,
And every tree that wears for her
Its brightest bloom, and bears for her
The fruitage of its prime.
envy every Southern night
That paves her path with moonbeams
white.
And silvers all the leaves for her,
And In their shadow weaves for her
A dream of dear delight.
envy none whose love requires
OF her a gift, task that tires:
1 only long to live to her,
only ask to give to her
All that her heart desires.

Toss of Coin with an Unexpected

Of this gambling mania. which was in
satiable. but because OF his quaint WIZ

the peares cafe to appease his hunger.
But just as he was about to enter the
restaurant he suddenly recognized the
entrance to the next place as the one
leading to a gambling house which he
had not visited for some time. Tom
paused. He felt himself torn between
two emotions. hunger and the spirit OF
gambling
Should he risk his gold piece on the
faro table or the roulette or should he
eat? That was the question. He might
make a killing, in which event, OF
course, he would eat sumptuously.
Then, again. he might lose and face
starvation. The natural thing for Tom
TO do was leave 1t to chance.

The much-debated question of the ex-
istence of water vapor in the atmos-
phere Of Mars appears to have been set
tied in the affirmative by the observa-
lions Of V. VI. Shipher, corroborated
by those Of DR.. f. w. Very, who esu-
mates that Mars has in its atmosphere
about rs per cent more water vapor
than exists in the air. over Flagstaff,
Arizona, in the month Of January. Mr..
Slipher concludes that these observa-
lions favor the view that the white
caps about Mars poles are composed
Of snow rather than Of boar frost. The
prevalent conditions on Mars, says
DR.. Very, are those Of mild but desert
climate, such as Prof. Perciyal Lowell
has asserted exists there.
Among the interesting observations
made by the Danish Northeast Green
and Expedition is one on the summed
Grooming of summer in that land OF
ice and flords. The change is describ-
ed as sudden. Gradually the tempera-
ture Of the snow had risen to the freez-
ing-point, and then in one day 1t all
melted. ''The rivers were rushing
along. flowers were budding forth, and
In the air the butterflies were futter-
ing" The birds came nearly all on
the same day, and most of them even
at the same hour One day there were
only the ordinary ptarmigan and the
raven; the next there were the san
derling, the ring-plover, the goose, the
elder duck, and many others.
How much remains to be done be-
fore we shall have complete know
edge Of the inhabitants Of our little
planet is indicated by the failure OF
Alanson Skinner of the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History to get into
communica ton with the Naskapi In
dams of Labrador. He had supposed
that they could be reached by way OF
the west coast Of Labrador, but found
It to be impossible. When driven by

In the subterranean chamber Of the
Messina observatory seismograph
made a most interesting record of the
great earthquake, which indicatAs the
possibility of warning being given by
such instruments several minutes be-
fore the disastrous shock arrives. The
great movement, according to this rec
ord, began With a very slight shock,
which was repeated. For ten seconds
it increased in violence, and for an
other ten seconds decreased. Ten min
utes next passed without disturbance.
Then came a second shock of great in
tensity. accompanied with loud sub
terranean rumbling, and this was the
shock that caused the calamity. Ore
