LOAN CLOVER
Excellent as Rotation Crop and
win Grow Anywhere.
81 All Plants II Seems to Be Endowed
with Better Power to Recuperate
Soil Than otners-it Is SUI
perior to Other Grasses.

(BY Z. M. 0lIlLl<ESIAJ
A farmer in Sedgwick county, Kan.
sas, who says he Is afraid to try al.
falfa because some of his neighbors
have not been successful with it, wants
to know whether clover would not do
better on his soil. which he describes
as a good black loan, "a little sandy"
Il have never tried clover" he writes,
but | notice that it grows in places
along the roads in the vicinity of my
farm"
There can be no doubt that clover
will do we'll on good black loan. a
little sandy" because the growth of
vagrant clover alongside proves that
the proper bacteria are present in the
soil.
Clover is a great crop for a rota-
ton, anC we suggest the following:
Corn, wheat and clover; or. when 1t
is desired 20 grow a cash or market
crop, such as potatoes, beans and cab
bage, the rotation may be heightened.
and the crop will thus receive he
benefits from the rotation and be han
died with the same labor and teams
required to perform the general farm
work, thus decreasing the cost Of pro-
duction and eliminating the fertilizer
bills.
Glover should be grown every third
or fourth year; or, where this crop
fails, some other legume should be
utilized. Of all the plants with which
we are acquainted clover seems to be
endowed with a power to recuperate
soil more than others.
1t is superior to other grasses be-
cause it sends it's roots down deeper,
thus feeding upon mineral and vege-
table substances in the soil that are
out of reach of the surface feeding
plants. 1t also increases the nitrogen
and humus content of the soil and is
an excellent food for all kinds of live
stock.
There is no forage crop, excepting
alfalfa, that possesses as many valu-
able qualities as our common red clo-
yer. All ruminants prefer it to other
hay.
Glover thrives on almost all forms
of soil, and it is especially valuable
on sandy soil, as it draws its nourish-
ment from the subscil and from the
atmosphere and brings back to the
surface many soluble elements of fer
tility that have been washed down
through the soil by teaching.
Alfalfa ought to grow well on this
Kansas farm, and simply because some
other farmers have not succeeded with
it is no reason why u young friend
should not try it. Sow on high or roll
ing land, well drained, in a perfect
seed beo, thirty pounds to the acre,
and it ought and doubtless will do
well. 1t is successfully grown in
nearly all of the eastern states. but is
particularly well adapted to western
soils.

STOP LEAKS ON THE FARMS
BY Not Permitting Waste Places tc
Exist Considerable Percen-

CRY 3. E. LARA.l

NDi II LIZ AThANh
One of the greatest losses that car
be avoided is due to thoughtlessly Civ
ing over small pieces of land to con
stitute thickets and waste places.
AT first thought most farmers will
say it doesn't amount to much, but il
you will figure up the amount Of non
producing land you are paying taxes
on you will soon ascertain the fact
that you are losing the use of a con
siderable per cent. of your land in
vestment.
All other business men take into
consideration such items; why should
not the farmers do as we'll? An Hi
nois farmer writes as follows: %
keep tab on a piece of land l purchas
ed three years ago. 1t was a some
what broken 20-acre tract, with sew
eral strips and corners turned out tc
non-cultivation. Having acquired II
late in the winter and being over
crowded with work, l couldn't get tc
it then. so l decided to make an ex
pertinent with it. The first year it was
opp dCCOTuluS W Ivy lHoII uClious
and the amount and value of the pre-
duce carefully determined.
1.-The second year 1 had all neglect
ed portions brought into cultivation
and cropped similar to the previous
year.. When the crop was harvested
and the amount and value calculated
l found / had an increase of IA pei
cent. over the previous crop. Accord
ing to other plots of mine 1 had to
attribute three per cent of the in
crease to better season, thus leaving
II per cent. in favor of cleaned-uI
waste places, besides the appearance
of the land wonderfully improved and
the selling price greatly enhanced"
Of course the only value of such ar
experiment is to serve as an object
lesson and an experiment that few
will undertake, but l hope it may slim
ulate some farmer to grasp the impor
lance of utilizing all of his land.

more than $4,000 will yet be turned in
by Secretary Yerger, of the prison
board, in settlement for cotton sales,

The estimate of Deputy Auditor ID. l..

that this estimate will not be far

Farmers Dav in Legislature.

Wednesday was strictly agricultural
legislation day in EACH branch of the
assembly, the farmer and the farming
industry being the main thing in the
minds eye of the legislators, individ-
ually and collectively. In the senate
the Franklin County Agricultural High
School bill stirred the fires of debate
throughout the two hours session, but
was finally passed by a good majority
of 81 to 2. The measure passed sub
stantiallv as it came from the commit
tee, leaving it discretionary with the
county boards to provide separate
schools for the separate races, and regu-
lating the matter of petitioning against
establishment. The house passed three
measures affecting the interests of the
agricultural classes, the first being the
''hog and nominal" bill, which gives prizes
for best products of their farms in the
way of corn raising and live stock breed
ing, as well as horticultural products.
The fact that the bill passed without a
dissenting vote indicated the attitude
of the house on that line. The same
body also passed two branch agricul-
tural experiment station bills, locating
one in the prairie belt and another in
East Mississippi, the trustees of the A.
g. NJ. College being clothed with the re-
sponsibility of locating and starting
both.

Street Got Thirteen Votes,

Two ballots were taken by the sena-

lock is as firm as before Senator Ander-
son withdrew from the contest. Varda-

and dropped to 6s on the second. Speak
err Street got IS on the first ballot, and
fearing that this might prove unlucky
for him, one of his friends switched, and
on the next whirl he got only II. There
were no Withdrawals announced, and

Something About Horses.

Make friends with your horses.
They will enjoy your sociability as

a horse which is wide from the bone

Place of the Peanut

The peanut is so different in ap
~pearance from the bean, the pea and
the clover, and it is put to such diff
ferent use that it is seldom thought
of as legume which derives practically
all of it's nitrogen from the air. The
plant blossoms above ground, but as
the flower withers the stalk, or spike
of the ovary lengthens and pushes
into the ground, SO that the pod is
matured beneath the surface. The
peanut itself, therefore, corresponds
to the pea or the bean pod, and the
nuts are the peas OF the beans.

RIOT RULED THE CAUCUS.
Mr.. Bird Wanted to Dissolve the Body
by Formal Resolution.


Galvanized from a condition of apa-
thetic indifference which has charac-
terized the senatorial caucus and the
mo~notonous roll calls for the casting OF
ballots, the democratic caucus floor was
transformed into a bedlamic scene Tor
nearly an hour this afternoon. 1t was
the natural consequence of what would
be expected to follow any radical or
advanced movement, such as the formal
resolution to dissolve the aucus intro
duced at the outset by Mr.. Bird of Law
renee county.
There was a period of perfect quiet,
an ominous stiffness, while the clerk
read the following resolution, which Mr..
Bird sent to the desk:
Whereas, the federal statutes require
that the Legislature, in the election OF a
United States senator, take one ballot
each day in joint assembly; and
Whereas, every member of this dem
ecratic caucus is q member of the legis-
lature, and that a meeting OF this caucus
once each day takes up unnecessary
time, impedes the progress of legislation,
and entails an extra expense to the tax
payers of the state; therefore. be it
Resolved, That this caucus be now
dissolved"
Mr.. Bird then made a few remarks in
support of the resolution, declaring that
it was conceived in the interest of nobody
and represented no side or faction, and
that he was entirely responsible. He
was in favor of doing away with the
caucus and let them get down in open
session and vote viva voce and stop this
temporizing with the situation before
them.
Then the storm broke. 1t was started
when Mr.. Gibbs, senator from 1azoo,
ooh the floor and attempted OF make
himself heard, and for a time it seemed
as if every voice in the galleries and on
the floor was trying to speak out at once
and from varying angles of view points.
The motion to table having prevailed,
and quiet being restored, the formality
of balloting was taken up, the storm
having subsidized, and it was as though
nothing out of the ordinary had oc-
Cured.
The next feature was the withdrawal
of Judge Critz from the race, which was
announced in a brief speech from Sena-
tor Hibbler of West Point, who in pass
ing thanked the caucus for the courtesy
and consideration shown him. 1t was
known that Judge Critz would withdraw,
and with this in view he was given a
fattering complimentary vote on the
first ballot.
