Bermuda Pasture.-In S

Bermuda YaSture.-iN SOutn caro-
lima, q Bermuda pasture Is not thrifty
and is overrun with wild clover. How
20 improve 1t and run out the clover
The wild clover is probably ~lespedeza
or Japan clover, which has run all
over the South, and which no n
should try to Danish from a pasture,
for 1t is one of the most valuabls
plants you a have there. ! saw
lately on the Wateree river bottoms
IN South Carolina that not only the
Japan clover but the hairy vetch is
growing among the Bermuda. l saw
vetch there last week six inches tall.
This will add a great deal to the
winter pasture, while the Japan clover
will improve the summer pasture. The
bermuda sod may be h~ide-bound.
Next spring early run q disk harrow
both ways n chop It some. Give g
top-dressing Of Thomas phoshate and
then roll the sod down, and I think
you will have better pasture, even
If the clover grows better.
Crops For Southern Alabama
What crops to grow for profit N a
farm ten miles from Mobile where the
owner does not live and hires a
ager. The main difficulty with North
ern men buying land in the South is
that they want to ignore the old money
crops OF the section and go into
chickens or something else. Study
what other successful men are grow
ing in that neighborhood. It is a
good section for growing early truck
and strawberries for the Northern
markets. Sugar cane for making
syrup is also profitable with many,
and a good trade can be made with it.
If peaches are tried, plant the kinds
that succeed in Florida, such as the
Peento and Honey peaches. Those
grown are uncertain there.
Growing crops by proxy is at best a
risky business.
Barren StUppernong-A Scupper-
non vine fourteen years old Ornerl
bore we'll but of late years does not
bear, after being with hen
manure. The manuring has nothing
to do with it. The probability is that
the wild bullace vines have been clear
ed up from rear it. These barren
vines are found along fence-rows all
over the South. and where they are
in the neighborhood, the Scuppernong
bears we'll. But the Scuppernong has
blooms that often fail to set its fruit
from lack of pollen. The best thing
I car advise is to get a wild barren
ullac vine and set. it near the
ScuppernOng to furnish pollen.
Drainage Necded.-Spots Of a white
SUBSTANCE appear on the land and
nothing whatever will grow on these
spots. Possibly it may be salt. but i;
IS probably carbonate of soda. Abou.
the only remedy is to drain the land
Wen and use land plaster ~abundant1v
on these spots.

BORING CITY WIN PRAISE OF
ALL VISITORS.

Ottumwa knights of Columbus and
others who attended the splendid In
stitution of council at Melrose Sun
day are high in their praise OF the
hospitality shown at the hands OF
Rev. Father w. j. Mccormack, the K.
OF G. of his city and the people In gen
Catholic young men of Melrose and
vicinity, upon near fifty of whom the
three degrees of the knights of Column
bus were conferred. The officers OF
the day were members of the Cedar
Rapids, Burlington and Ottumwa conn-
ellis and to them with Father McCor-
mack belongs the credit for the very
successful and highly interesting ex-
emplification of the three degrees. The
ceremonies of the day were opened
with high mass at Father Mccormack
church, and a splendid sermon by the
beloved priest on "Knighthood.' The
degree work began in the old school
building at 1870 o'clock and at Z
o'clock, the candidates had been
knighted, The major degree was in
charge of District Deputy J. j. Crosby
and staff. including Michael Morweiser
of Cedar Rapids. The banquet tn. fol-
lowed was served in the opera house.
The building was especially decorated
by the Sisters of the Humility Of Mary
and the banquet service was splendidly
handled by the young ladies Of the
church, beautifully attired In white.
AT the speakers table, hand painted
cards were found at each plate. The
Schubert Quintet Of. Ottumwa furn-
ished the musical program. The ladies
who served the banquet were given a
votesof thanks for the manner in
which the courses were served, and the
enthusiastic speeches made by the
clergy End prominent knights in at
tendance were vigorously encored.
The hospitality of the city Of Melrose
will attract numerous Ottumwa
knights in the future.

How Do You Like 1t?

One of the company leaves the room.
and the others fix upon some word to
be guessed by him when he eturns.
He then goes around asking each Of
the company, How do you like it,"
1t is better to select a word having a
variety Of meanings, as it is more diff
fcult to guess. Suppose the word
"stick" to be selected. One might an
swer that he liked it when he was out
walking, another when he was sealing
a letter, another when he met a saw
age dog, etc. If the questioner is I'M
able to guess the word the first time
he goes around again asking. "NVhen
do you like it," and if not successful
this time he asks. "Where do you like
it," Failing in three trials. he must
retire and let another word be select
ed. Succeeding. he must point out the
person who gave him the clew. who
must pay a forfeit and go out to be
puzzled in turn.

The CHILDREN
A Round of Conversation.

Here is a game to test your ingenui-
ty. n player must stand in a circle
Of others and ask some one, What
do you know about the moon?' He
need not necessarily say the moon; he
can choose any subject he wants to,
but we will suppose. to illustrate the
game. that that is what he has chosen.
The first player answers, for instance,
"The moon is made Of green cheese
w%hereupon the questioner asks the
next person. What do you know about
green cheese?" II know it is eaten
with crackers" that person
What do you know about crackers ~
he asks the next one. II know they
are baked in an oven," is the reply.
"What do you know about ovens?"
falls to the next. II know they are
blackened with stove polish,' is the
answer. "And what do you know
about stove polish?" continues the
questioner. IT know it is blacker than
silver polish" is the response.
Now we have probably come to the
last player. and in his answer he must
bring the conversation back to the sub
ject it started from, in this case the
moon If he cannot do this before the
questioner counts ten he loses and
must be questioner himself. In this
particular case when asked what he
knows about silver polish we will hope
he has presence of mind enough to an
81 know it makes things bright
as the moon"
With the next round the questioner
should begin somewhere else in the
circle. so that the same, person need
not finish the game.

What humans are chiefly hunt
ing for nowadays is inspiration
in n form or another. This
story cannot fail to give its
reader Inspiration, and therefore
it's value can hardly be operes-
ffn1ated. The magic of the love
Of man for woman, that, aroused
simply by the sound of a voice,
causes q young millionaire to
cross oceans and traverse
foreign lands to find his fate
was never better pictured. The
story is Intensely romantic and
alluringly mysterious. The in
stdious evils Of unwise marriage
with foreign "noblemen" are
czeverly shown, and the familiar
Italian brand of intrigue is laid
bare. The author shows that the
reward Of patience and purity is
happiness and that the wages
ofs sin is death. He makes you
laugh when he pictures the ad-
ventures of an American comic
opera troupe stranded in foreign
lands. He makes you thrill with
the wanderlustwhen he describes
La Bella NapoH and the vine
covered slopes that rim the
Mediterranean.

each other. At each end Of both lines
at one end of the line place an equal
number of bundles of clothespins tied
loosely together with strings-that is.
tie together beforehand four or five
clothespinS and have ten or twelve
such bundles. Divide the bundles
equally between the chairs at the end
of the line-that is to say. place one
half of the bundles on each of the two
chairs. Having selected an umpire to
settle all disputes, at Il signal from
him the players nearest the chairs
pick up Il bundle and pass it from the
hand nearest the chair into the other
hand and then to the next players
hand, who passes it III the same way
and as quickly as possible until it
reaches the player next to the chair at
the other end Of the line. who hen
places it in the chair.
In the meantime the player nearest
the chair on which the bundles lie
has no sooner passed the first bundle
than he takes up another. and so all
the bundles are passed as rapidly as
possible until they have been placed
on the chairs at the other end of the
line. The side that passes it's bundles
first wins. the umpire deciding.
Clothespins so tied are awkward to
handle and are quite likely to be drop
ped while passing down the line. The
side whose player drops a bundle or
any Of the pins out of a bundle loses
without finishing the game.

Hunt the Whistle.

The chief participation in this game
must be ignorant Of the trick about
to be played. He is told to kneeI
down while a lady knights him. nam
ing him Knight of the WHISTLE"
During the process some one fastens
a small whistle to his coattails by
means Of Il piece of ribbon. He is
then hidden to rise and search for the
whistle. The hunt begins, All the
players combine to deceive the search
er. They must blow the whistle
whenever they can do so without be-
ing detected. When the searcher dis
covers the trick the game is. of course,
at an end.
