Clover.

1t has been said that if all clover
could be properly cured, timothy and
all other hay would have to leave the
market. Whether we believe this or
not, we all know that clover is the
coming feature in the agriculture of
Minnesota. While all have vague
idea that clover is something great,
very few understand it thoroly OF
appreciate as they should its wonder
full value, not only as a feed for all
kinds of live stock but as an enricher
of the soil. AS fast as farmer comes
to understand more thoroly this Won
derful plant, just SO fast does he be-
come more prosperous farmer. Men
who have made a life study of the
clover plant and have had life's
experience with it, will talk and
answer your questions on it at the
Farmers Institute. This one attraction
alone will well repay any farmer for
the time and effort spent to get to
the meeting. At Morris, Thursday,

"Greyfriafs Bobby"

An interesting monument has been
erected near Greyfriars cemetery, Ed
inburgh, by the late Baroness Burdett-
Coutts, in memory of dogs devotion.
This dog followed its masters remains
to the cemetery in 1858; from that day
and night after night for thirteen
years it guarded the grave and only
left it to visit restaurant near at
hand for its dinner. At the fire of the
/ o'clock gun from the castle Bobby
left the grave and returned immedi-
ately after hasty meal at the restau-
rant On Sundays he dined from
scraps laid in certain place by him
on Fridays and Saturdays.
He died in 1872 The facts are well
authenticated and were reported prom
inently in the newspapers during the
dogs lifetime.

His Reason Why.

Once upon q time a learned doctor
had a foolish servant, who always
went with him to visit the sick. One
day he was called to the bedside of a
very i'll patient, and after examining
the man the doctor said that he had
been eating oysters and that he must
stop or he would die. When they left
the house the servant asked the doctor
how he knew that the sick man had
been eating oysters.
Because" said the learned man, Il
saw the empty shells under the bed"
Some time after this the doctor was
very busy, and a call came for his i'm
the servant to visit the patient, who
was very bad, just to tell him that he
would come as soon as possible. The
servant arrived, and, as he had fire.
squently heard his master do, he asked
numerous questions; then, as his eyes
wandered about the room, he said,
''Sir, you may die, for you have eaten
a horse"
''How dare you?' exclaimed the
mans wife, and in anger she drove the
fool cut
When the doctor called he was told
that his services were no longer re-
quired and the reason given. He hur
ried home and questioned the servant.
why were you such fool?" he
asked.
To which the servant replied, 81
knew he had eaten horse, because l
saw the harness under the bed"

FOR THE CHILDREN
The Black Cockatoo.

There is a wonderful cockatoo In
one of the islands Of the Indian ocean
near New Guinea 1t is as large as a
full grown pheasant and is of jet
black color The bird is remarkable
for its immensely strong bill and the
clever manner in which it is used. The
bill is as hard as steel, and the upper
part has deep notch.
Now, the favorite food of this cock
atoO is the canary nut, but there is
| wonderful ingenuity required to get at
it, for the nut is something like. a Bra
zil nut, but 1t is ten times as hard. In
, fact, it requires the blow of heavy
, hammer to crack it. 1t is quite smooth
and somewhat triangular in shape.
Nature appears to have given the
possession of the wonderful bill some
intelligence to direct its powers, for
the cockatOo takes one of the nuts
edgewise in it's bill and by carving
motion Of its sharp lower beak makes
small notch on it. This done, the
bird takes hold of the nut with its
claws and, biting off piece of leaf
retains it in the deep notch of the up
per part of the BILL Then the nut is
seized between the upper and lower
parts Of the bill and is prevented from
slipping by the peculiar texture of the
| leaf.
A sharp nip or two break off tiny
piece of the shell of the nut. The
bird then seizes the nut in its claws
and pokes the long, sharp point of its
bill into the hole and picks out the ker-
mel bit by bit.
