Sweet Glover Not a Weed.

1t is apparent that sweet clover
must be taken out of the category of
weeds and given q place in our list OF
valuable forage plants not far, If at
all, below alfalfa and red clover.
Although it will grow on rosdsides
and other places where its chief asso.
ciates are weeds, yet it prefers a good
soil and one not deficient in humus.
1t is a biennial and will not produce
seed the first year. When sown in the
spring on properly prepared soil it
should be ready for cutting about the
middle of July, but the sickle bar
should be at least six inches above
the ground, as closer cutting is very
apt to kill many of the plants. It ia
probable that a second cutting may
be made the last fASeptember or
early in October, with sickle low
down. These two cuttings the frs,
year should yield nearly three tons Of
hay to the acre.

Bedtime Hour For Guests.

Until the end of time it will probably
be Il mooted question whether guest
or hostess should make the first move
for retiring for the night. When stay
ing in a house for the first time this
is one Of the most difficult points for
a guest to decide, and it takes a great
deal of tact and d~iscernment to arrive
at a correct conclusion.
On the basis that a hostess orders
the house and the guest conforms there
Is no doubt that the person whose
home it Is should make the frst move.
One who is staying in the house for
the first time cannot be expected to
know the habits and rules of the place,
including the hour for arising, on which
greatly depends that for retiring.
In the summer house at country or
seashore the chances are, if the host
goes to town for business every day,
that the whole household is up early.
The hostess is certainly, as a rule, If
her husband is a business man. In
that case it is almost essential that
they go to bed early. Logical as this
conclusion may seem, a guest fears to
suggest going too early to her own
room lest she should seem to be bored
during the evening, and thus it is
when both really would like to turn in
at a reasonable hour they and others
are kept up by a desperate attempt to
be polite,

WILL benefit SETTLERS.

One of the most important bills
passed by the recent session of con.
gress. from the viewpoint of western
states, was the one allowing agricul.
tural entries upon coal lands. 1t ap.
plies to something like forty millions
of acres Of land Withdrawn as coal
land, throughout the west.
At least one-third and possibly one.
half of this land can and will event.
ually be entered on the surface az
agricultural land, under the provis.
ions OF this bill, %reserving the RICH,
to the coal to the government.
The bill was originally introduced
by Mr.. Mondell of Wyoming. but in
its original form did not protect the
rights of the agricultural entrymen on
the land. Representative Taylor Of
Colorado, after q strenuous contes,
extending over several weeks, sue.
ceeded in getting into the bill q pro.
vision protecting the surface property
rights of the agricultural entryman,
and compelling the coal operators, iu
case the entryman's property rights
were interfered with. to pay full dam.
ages therefor.
Another measure grants the home
stead settler OF the west q leave OF alb.
sence from the dry and barren land in
prospective irrigation districts upon
which he has been maintaining resi-.
dence with his wife and children for
several years. hauling water to drink,
being unable to get away on account
of the government requiring continu.
GUS residence on the land, and permits
them to move off to some town or city
where they al get work and send
their children to school until such
time as the government can complete
and turn the water into the canals,
and enable them to irrigate their
land.
Another measure for the relief OF
settlers Is one which allows settlers
under the reclamation projects, after
Eve years. residence. to sell q portion
or all OF their land and permits them
or their assignees to pay the govern.
ment price for the land. The govern.
ment price per acre is from $40 to $50.
The result Is that the settlers cannot
pay the government the price because
they have nc way of acquiring it. But
as soon as they can make the five
years. proof the most of that land is
worth from 800 to 5000 an acre. By
being able to sell q fourth or q hall
of their tract they can secure enough
money to 60 ahead.
